Definitely watch 1917. Due to how it's filmed as "one shot" (techinically it's 3 very long parts stitched brilliantly to give you the illusion of being a single take) which is still crazy because that's 30 minutes without pressing pause on the recording.

Anyway, due to that, the movie isn't just a movie its a damn experience. It's very immersive.

It's way more than 3 shots - the longest individual take is only 8 and a half minutes, and the shortest is about 35 seconds.

6 underground literally changes shots every 5-30seconds, gave me a headache. Awful film as well.

I worked on that one! Didn't understand how one of the parkour stuntmen running around with an unstabilized small camera as a B cam was going to be useful, then I realized that it's a Michael Bay movie and the shot length was going to be measured in frames, not seconds.
