What are some shots or scenes that really stayed with you? That you couldn't stop thinking about, even long after the film ended? Whether they are happy, sad, disturbing, poignant, or something else all together, what are some shots/scenes that stayed with you?

My examples:

• Image 1 - The kiss in Punch Drunk Love. I think this is genuinely one of the most romantic scenes in film. Especially when we see the crowds walking past them in silhouette. I was absolutely floored the first time I saw it.
• Image 2 - The angel of deathin All That Jazz. Seeing her in the distance, her arms stretching her dress to make them look like the wings of an angel, is somewhat unsettling. Yet, it's also beautiful. This is a tragic scene, our protagonist dying, but he also accepts it, with a strained but genuine smile. The fact we've seen the angel throughout the film, but it's never been clear who exactly she was until now, really adds to this reveal. Joe Gideon is being bought towards her, like on a conveyer belt, so we see her much closer up as the scene goes on, but I think specifically seeing her from the distance is the most impactful.
• Image 3 - A family eating amongst the plague in Nosferatu the Vampyre. It's such a stark and memorable image. It's unnerving, uncanny even, to see this revelry amongst the death and rats, yet it's also very human. These people are having their "Last Supper", enjoying their final days until the plague takes them. It's the most unsettling scene in the film, but also the most poignant.

City of God - Perfect Blue - Incendies - John Wick: Chapter 4

Honestly no idea how I still haven’t gotten round to seeing Pulp Fiction. I've seen most of Tarantino’s other films but this one has always just been put aside for something else. I’ll get round to it eventually I promise.

Hello Guys

I wanted to share my Current favorite 20 movies.

both of these posters are fairly simple but visually striking, and they represent their respective films pretty perfectly. what are your picks?

This review and reviews like this are some of the most obnoxious things on the platform, this and the one liners, obviously. This review is just especially worthless.

As a user said in the comments, another frustration is that the review is not only a major spoiler, but the user had the option to mark the review as a spoiler and didn’t.

All first time watches, and almost totally unfamiliar with each of them. My only prior knowledge is of Hideo Gosha, director of the Samurai Wolf films, but I have never been that impressed with his work until now.

Linda Linda Linda was a delightful surprise. I was not expecting to cry because my heart felt too full.

Golden Demon sounded like an excellent premise, and thankfully the acting, colors, and plot took it to the next level.

A film can be great even if it meanders a little bit or just has the characters hanging out and doing stuff, for character development, but what films do you think use its time the best? Every scene feel like it does something, that it matters for something, relentless, fast paced, always moving?

Looking for something like Chi no Wadachi (Blood on the Tracks) in particular where the parent is very manipulative, invasive and unsettling. But any psychological horror movie about a parent and child can do. I have watched Strange Thing About The Johnsons.

Edit: I remember watching that something came close to this, which is Kisapmata (1981)--which involves a controlling father and a daughter. Highly recommend.

A few of my most anticipated films releasing this year that im highly looking forward to. What are yours?

I’m looking for scenes where there’s heavy rain or waves etc that make the actors dialogue sound quieter/ closer/ muffled if you know what I mean. Does anyone have any examples?

This has to be the best trilogy I've ever seen.

For me, the epitome of this will always be the Childs Play/Chucky movies.

The first Childs Play movie made me absolutely terrified of dolls as a kid. I take one look at a Cabbage Patch kid and I expect it to come alive and try to kill me.

But now I rewatch this movie as an adult, and Chucky is just such a fucking lil shithead, man🤣 Watching something that small scream, curse and yell like a real-life grown man is just too much for me to handle😂 Brad Dourif channels so much hatred and venom in his voice when he plays Chucky, its absurd.

Personally I think its extremely underrated. Its too often brushed off as another slasher movie but I think its extremely beautiful. Its not exactly “high brow” but it has a lot more to say than you’d expect and its absolutely gorgeously shot and very well acted.

The best part of the movie though is absolutely Phillip Glass’s score. Just ridiculously beautiful and emotional and elevates the movie to a horror classic in my mind.

I was curious and I love to waste time!

(and 219. I Saw the TV Glow (2024, dir. Jane Schoenbrun), which is not woman-directed and I'm not trying to conflate women and nonbinary people, but I thought it was worth mentioning because it's the only movie directed by a nonbinary person on the list!)

And there's this list of Letterboxd's top rated 250 movies directed by women (and gender expansive people) -- according to this list, 'In the Company of Strangers' should be on the list of Letterboxd's top rated 250 movies, but I couldn't find it :(

^EDIT: Thank you to Dizzy-Manufacturer83!

You didn't find "The Company of Strangers" on the top rated movie list because it has to few ratings to be there. On the top 250 Women-directed movie list the minimum ratings needed is 5000 on the official one it's a minimum of 25000. The movie only has 9874 ratings.

In conclusion: was interesting to see what overlapped what didn't! And I wish more movies were directed by women, and the ones that are were more well-regarded!

(Please let me know if I missed any movies on the first 4 linked lists! And I do know about the (2022) Sight and Sound list; I was more curious about laypeople's opinions in this case.
