Watched September 5 this weekend.
Something so fascinating about watching movies about the journalism aspect of actual events.

Day 2: we watched a series of wonderful animated shorts and Bonjour, Tristesse.



A very quiet movie about relationships and loss. Chloe Sevingny was really the standout here in her role where she tip toes between a control freak and a caring bonus mom.

Day 3: Time Travel is Dangerous
This was my favorite thus far. It was very silly and quirky. If you are looking for a light watch, this is pure ridiculous fun.

A very uneven movie, but "Won't somebody save Curlie?" lives in my head.

Agreed, and that was probably the funniest bit. Very Milhouse

This is an inexact science because I didn't start my Letterbox til the end of September and then went back and guessed when I had watched what--

January: Pearl
February: Return to Seoul
March: Aliens (yeah, I know)
April: Starship Troopers
May: Titane
June: Asteroid City
July: How to Blow Up a Pipeline
August: Oppenheimer
September: Bottoms
October: Killers of the Flower Moon
November: Kramer vs Kramer
December: Poor Things

Somebody just liked this post and reminded me that I never did this for 2024.

Best first time watches by month last year (I was unemployed for awhile so this is though in the early months).

January: The Thing (but A Thousand and One is brilliant and underseen)

February: The French Connection or Blue Collar (gave both 5 stars on LB).

March: Love Lies Bleeding

April: Invasion of the Body Snathers 1978 version

May: Furiosa, A Mad Max Saga

June: Doom Generation

July: I Saw the TV Glow

August: Running on Empty

September: Black Christmas (the 70s original)

October: Missing (1982)

November: Anora

December: Saving Private Ryan (I never watch war films)

I was very lukewarm on it. Felt like propaganda in its timing. I won't say more.

Sounds like you had a great year of first-time views. I wouldn't probably think to seek it out, but maybe I need to see Black Christmas.

Yeah, Letterbox fueled a year of crossing off classics that I had somehow never gotten to.

Black Christmas is so good and I don't normally like slashers. Funny until the tone intentionally shifts, creepy af and far more realistic in its vibe than most of the stuff that it inspired.

Barry Lyndon still whips. Best-looking movie ever made about a hilarious, total fucking loser.

Every scene is a work of art. I mean, look at this! It looks like a painting from the Baroque period or something.

Watching it Sunday in 70MM IMAX. I cannot wait.

Everyone should see this in the theater if they get the chance. It's a truly incredible moviegoing experience.
