Top Ten Films First Seen in 2021

[Yxklyx]

Only took half a year, but I've finally seen enough movies to have a top five that's solid and a top 10 that I'm not ashamed of:

1) The Bad Sleep Well

This is interesting, because I've watched 20 of his films and I thought this was his worst - and that it was really bad on top of that. I suppose a rewatch is needed...

2021's first half:

1. Akira (1988)
2. Still Walking (2008)
3. Imitation of Life (1959)

This is interesting, because I've watched 20 of his films and I thought this was his worst - and that it was really bad on top of that. I suppose a rewatch is needed...

Perhaps. Top shelf Kurosawa is top shelf all-time, which Bad Sleep Well isn't. At the same time, I thought it was visually striking, briskly paced, and overall a tragic indictment of bureaucracy, power, and the illusion of honor.

Edit: Meant perhaps as maybe revisit maybe not. The writing is pretty bad and the "twists" are weak.

Kind of cooled on Inside, which I still don't know if it's a movie or not and would love someone else's input about what that thing is. If it's a special, really great. If it's a movie, it's good but maybe inferior to just the audio (listened to it once full through on Spotify and gets rid of a lot of fat from the movie).

2) The Bad Sleep Well
3) Memories of Murder
