    I know you said you aren't a big fan of westerns, and neither am I, but if you haven't seen "The Sisters Brothers" it's another great movie. It's an atypical western and I think you would like it. It's gorgeous, beautifully shot with a great cast and a solid story.
    I really liked "The Power of the Dog" even though I also don't particularly like westerns. And since I also love "The Sisters Brothers" I would definitely recommend you give it a watch if you haven't.

    I'm new to your channel and I was watching every second of this video hoping "no way home" does not get mentioned. Glad to say I'm not disappointed. I enjoyed 50% of that movie and the other 50% I hope I could forget. Nothing wrong with movies like that, but to garner so much praise and popularity for the average movie that it was... kinda offends me as other good movies deserve more.

    Still haven't seen many of the films on your list yet, but 'Pig' definitely had one of my absolute favorite scenes of the year in it (I'm putting it at #2 right now), and that's the dinner scene that Cage cooks for Alex Wolf's father. That scene floored me. I still put 'Dune' in my #1 film slot because it was masterful filmmaking at every level by every department. Part Two can't get here soon enough. I want to see 'The Green Knight' again for the cinematography alone, and also because I now have a better grasp on the story, and I loved 'C'mon C'mon' so much, too. Gotta try to catch up on so many others I missed still.

Hopefully this "Alley" will also form a strong cult following and be re-evaluated as years go by.

    Awesome!! I just discovered this channel nice work, I still gotta watch Pig, but I tend to like Nic Cage unrestrained when he's pretty wacked out LOL such as Matchstick Men, Leaving Las Vegas , Face Off, Raising Arizona etc... Anyways I appreciate your intelligent reviews on films keep em coming thanks!!!

    Green Knight is my favorite of the year as well. Watched it thrice now. Most beautiful and lively movie of the year. Teaches a great lesson of valor, honesty within oneself and how to be a better person in general. Dev patel is great in the movie but Ralph Ineson as The Green Knight steals every scene. His voice is eerily good.

    Omg I love C'Mon C'Mon, it's such a relaxing film to see.
    Also, have you seen Lamb? If there's one rare Cannes festival film I want people to watch, it's this one. Perfect cinematography in the Icelandic field and very twisted story with suspense from beginning to end.

    Haha The Last Duel! I heard that Ridley Scott Company asked to visit a medieval castle near my town. They called the standard of the Office of Tours and Visits, and they asked: do you have an airstrip around here? Well, my boss said...it's a little town, you should find one if you drive 50km to come here. They came and took a look at it. Unfortunately, they did not retain the castle for the movie! :(
