Love Kick-Ass.

That's ten movies

I was trying to figure out when I first saw some of these movies and was searching on the archived board a bit. I made a very similar post in 2012, also saying "here is the top ten list I would have submitted, had I been invited". My language is consistent. But here was my list from 2012:

Pierrot le Fou (1965, Godard)
A Woman Under the Influence (1974,Cassavetes)
A Clockwork Orange (1971, Kubrick)
Psycho (1960, Hitchcock)
Punch-Drunk Love (2002, Anderson)
Fitzcarraldo (1982, Herzog)
M (1931, Lang)
Dead Man (1995, Jarmusch)
Grey Gardens (1975, Maysles)
Ikiru (1952, Kurosawa)

So that's four movies that remain 2012 to 2022. I switched out the Kubrick and the Jarmusch for alternate Kubricks and Jarmusches. I was bummed when I made the 2022 list that I didn't have space for any Herzog or documentaries, as I apparently did in 2012.

What's odd is that I'm pretty sure the only movie from the 2022 list that I hadn't seen in 2012 is Paterson (2016). Perhaps I'm not as open to accepting something into my top tier of most vaulted artworks as I was in my youth.

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.
