    I finally get how people who love Blade Runner feel.
    I wish I knew how that feels, speaking personally...

    Updated: April Fool's Day took spot 12, Bride of Chucky took spot 16, and You Were Never Really Here took spot 31.

    Now up to 40 first time viewings so far this year! Think I've already beaten last year.

    Yeah, I have to say this is a really good film - but Uncut Gems has this in-your-face thing and Another Round is so unique... - it's in the same league in every way. Anyway - top four films here should be watched. I feel somewhat bad putting this Wenders film #4 but these other films are great!

    1) The Bad Sleep Well
    2) The Father
    3) Memories of Murder
    4) Tower
    5) Death of a Cyclist
    6) Sound of Metal
    7) Videodrome
    8) Inside (is this a movie? I have a hard time categorizing it as something else)
    9) Minari
    10) Raya
