I'm going with Logan's Run. Jerry Goldsmith, that's great to see.

Nine Days, Shithouse, There Is No Evil, My Octopus Teacher, Wolfwalkers, The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, David Byrne’s American Utopia, The Painter and the Thief, Small Axe: Mangrove, Words On Bathroom Walls.
What did you think of American Utopia?
Loved it. Even if I had high hopes, it surpassed my expectations. Really lifted my spirits that day, maybe that whole week. David Byrne is brilliant.

I can guarantee that I will see it several times.
Very nice. My wife and i have watched it at least four times

Goddamn, this was a weird movie. I loved the miniatures and the set design. I also appreciate the lack of hand holding in a lot of these 70s movies, they really just throw you into the world and show you how it works instead of explaining it to you.

It dragged a bit in the middle, but I was back on board once Peter Ustinov showed up.

A good watch.

One of the greatest films of the 70's. Criminally underrated. I love that shit so much.

Watched Odds Against Tomorrow this evening. A very enjoyable noir film starring Harry Belafonte and Robert Ryan. It had a killer jazz soundtrack and very good performances by all involved.

More Robert Ryan tonight, along with Burt Lancaster, Woody Strode, Lee Marvin and Jack Palance - I'm watching 1966's The Professionals. It's got a hell of a cast and it's off to a good start.

I might do this too. I don't remember much about these movies.

This afternoon I watched Battleship Potemkin, now I'm watching Phantom Thread.

We had seen the first two before but not the third. Don’t know how we missed it.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

Kept hearing about how good this was, and it was pretty good. Better than anything in the Shrekverse has a right to be.

I'm about an hour into the extended cut of The New World (05) and I'm loving it. It's really dreamy and light on dialogue. Beautiful so far.
