7. Young & Beautiful
This has been in my queue for ages...should finally make it a priority.
Always a great feeling!
Mine this year is heavily indebted to Filmspotters.
1.
The Babadook - Jennifer Kent (2014)
How did I miss this a few years ago!? Familiar horror movie tropes executed brilliantly. Scary. The only 2017 discovery to break into My Top 100.
2.
Rififi - Jules Dassin (1955)
@Teproc. Heist movie with plenty of variety.
3.
Tangerines - Zaza Urushadze (2013)
@DH. Humanity amongst hatred.
4.
About Elly - Asghar Farhadi (2009)
Classic Farhadi: forcing people to confront how they actually feel about each other.
5.
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer - Tom Tykwer (2006)
@1SO. Alluring smells. And a lot of blood!
6.
Blue Valentine - Derek Cianfrance (2010)
Why couldn't she...? We couldn't he...? How did they...? Ah CINECAST! it.
7.
Jane Eyre - Cary Fukunaga (2011)
@Sandy. Powerhouse lead performances. Heart-wrenching drama. Unequivocal passion.
8.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Jim Sharman (1975)
Audience participation viewing. What an experience.
9.
The Beguiled - Don Seigel (1971)
@1SO. Mad energy madhouse in the South. Religion. Jealousy. Sex.
10.
Berlin Calling - Hannes Stöhr (2008)
Paul Kalkbrenner owning it.
