definitely. planning to watch McGinty tonight. cant' believe i waited so long to watch all of these.
Let's say I'm not planning to burn through that collection in the next 12 days, but I'd like a taste--which ones would be high-priority?

I'll interrupt my Godard romp to check those out.

High Rise (2015)

Never heard of this one. Must have missed it.
Some kind of cartoonish class warfare/anti-capitalism thing, less Parasite and more Aronofsky's Mother!, with a lot of the same problems. It's more fun than that one though, and I thought it was alright. Hiddleston is so dreamy.

The only other movie of his I've seen is Free Fire, which I didn't like. This one makes me curious to see more though.

A Field in England and Kill List, in that order.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Aliens...i could have sworn the general consensus is it's superior to Alien, but it wasn't really close to me

I watched the Alien series for the first time last year and I was under the same impression about Aliens being considered the better movie. It's not bad, but I think I'd even rank it below the third one.

Alien is pretty much a perfect movie and has become one of my all time favourites.

One day, everyone in the world will come around to all of my opinions. I will be vindicated!
