Started the year with 10 rewatches and only 4 new viewings.
1. Days of Heaven (1978; Terrence Malick) 10/10
Decided to start the year with one of my two favourite films of all time.
2. Yesterday (2019; Danny Boyle) 7/10
Some interesting ideas and a very charming and heartwarming film overall. Lily James was wonderful in this.
3. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013; Peter Jackson) 8.5/10
A wonderful adventure film with many fun set-pieces and action scenes. Really love this.
4. Labyrinth (1986; Jim Henson) 8/10
Always love Jennifer Connelly and this is just a wonderful and imaginative film. Great stuff.
5. The Vertical Ray of the Sun (2000; Anh Hung Tran) 8/10
A Vietnamese art film with a really calming, relaxing tone and direction from this guy. It was quite visually lush IMO.
6. Chinatown (1974; Roman Polanski) 10/10
Loved the screenplay, Polanski's direction and performances from Jack Nicholson and John Huston. Such a great classic film.
7. Far from the Madding Crowd (1967; John Schlesinger) 7.5/10
Turned out to be a good period piece with some wonderful cinematography, wonderful landscapes.
8. Badlands (1973; Terrence Malick) 10/10
This landmark film is definitely my favourite debut film of all time. It is incredibly beautiful and poetic. Loved Martin Sheen in this.
9. Apocalypse Now Theatrical (1979; Francis Ford Coppola) 10/10
All the best parts of the film are in this version.
10. Apocalypse Now Redux (1979; Francis Ford Coppola) 10/10
I liked the additional scenes, especially the French plantation sequence.
11. Prey (2022; Dan Trachtenberg) 7/10
It definitely delivered some really nice cinematography and action sequences.
12. Predator: Badlands (2025; Dan Trachtenberg) 8/10
Interesting film where the Predator is the protagonist. Just a great action film with stunning visuals.
13. Schindler's List (1993; Steven Spielberg) 10/10
This is definitely by far my favourite Spielberg film. Really loved the black & white cinematography and camerawork.
14. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014; Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez) 8/10
This is sort of great and underrated. Just a fun, entertaining, cool, sexy film. Eva Green was very beautiful in this one.
I also saw some old(ish) Amanda Seyfried films today. She is so damn beautiful. I'll post about them tomorrow.
