    Sam's Thread of Movie Lists and Chit Chat (w/Jake)

    1. Coco ★★★★★
    2. Paddington 2 ★★★★
    3. The Shape of Water ★★★★
    4. Phantom Thread ★★★★
    5. Mute ★★★
    6. Black Panther ★★★
    7. The Cloverfield Paradox ★


    I think Paddington 2 is a cheat even by my standards - it was almost certainly released in the UK in 2017 - but it's staying.

    Having glanced at the Oscar winners: Guillermo Del Toro deserved it, Jordan Peele deserved it, Frances McDormand deserved it, but lol at Sam Rockwell and Gary Oldman.

    Cause Spacey is gay.

    Sam, I'm curious. Cloverfield Paradox got a lot of hype and a lot of people I know have raved about it, but when I ask what its about and why they like it, I just get "Its good, you sooooo have to watch it." Why just a single star?

    I regret to inform you that Guillermo Del Toro did not deserve to win the Oscar for best director.

    Veeery difficult to have stakes in a movie in which characters can recover from being shot through the eye.

    One thoroughly excellent scene and the rest-- there's something about Garland's films that bother me, and I just can't quite put my finger on it. This and Ex Machina feel... insubstantial?

    I've been meaning to ask you this for a long time: how is this list compiled? I get the stars and how these nine are ranked of course, but are these the nine most recent movies you've seen? Or seen this week? I've never actually known that.

    A quiet place was very Shyamalan-esque. In the nicest possible way.

    And I just like Wes Anderson, OK?

    That's a perfectly solid top ten. Can I stop now?

    Thanks for ruining my Sunday, Jake. I was mainly amazed at the sheer amount You Were Never Really Here owed to Taxi Driver.
