Damn Anders, going deep. Did you really watch all those?

As for Oscar nominees I’ve only watched Sinners, One Battle and Bugonia. They were all interesting enough to keep me engaged but each was a struggle to get through. There’s so few feel good movies made now. I did think it was funny when Bugonia ended

Absolutely did. Over several years, not this month. Think the top Iranian movies are amongst the best in the world.

Good point.

I most look forward to seeing One Battle After Another.

I’ve only seen about 1/3 of what I’ve planned to see from 2025. Will get back to it very soon. Have 225 movies ready to go.

Oscars are always interesting to me. Doubt there will be many surprises this year.

I could see that movie going either way for you. But I'd love your thoughts if/when you do see it. I'm a theater nerd, so I'm more prone to appreciate it more than others, perhaps. I thought it was so good!

[VinylGuy]

I dont know what it is about but im interested on Nia Da Costa enough to see it yes

[epilogue]

I think you'll appreciate the production design, at least. And it's sexy AF.

Now that I've seen Marty Supreme, I feel like I can crunch the numbers and do a 2025 Top 10 list. Congratulations Train Dreams!

Train Dreams
The Secret Agent
One Battle After Another
Marty Supreme
Sentimental Value
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You
Bugonia
Eddington
It Was Just an Accident
Friendship

Honorable mention to Sorry Baby, Bring Her Back, Frankenstein, The Phoenician Scheme, and The Mastermind

Special Honorary Shout Out to Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and Avatar: Fire and Ash

[epilogue]

I was so pumped about Marty Supreme until those articles about the Safties came out and now I just can't get it up for that one. But Bugonia and It Was Just an Accident are high on my list to see.

[VinylGuy]

Is Train Dreams that good?

[Farmer John]

Is Train Dreams that good?

Did you not see the list I just posted? It's the best of the year!

A few Rmers are claiming is very good. One of them is Joe which makes it hard to believe but still.
