since we’re in the second half of the year now, i wanted to take a minute to talk about the movies in the first half of the year that i can’t stop thinking about. here’s a list of the moments, shots, performances, and more that i can’t stop thinking about.
under a read more because long posts are long:
- the warmth and compassion that saint frances (2019) has for nearly every character to grace the screen - the last of sheila entering the “good boat movie imo” canon
Tumblr media
- the karate kid part two being a better movie than its predecessor - this iconic dress moment from follow the fleet:
Tumblr media
- "if i were a woman all of this would be acceptable" "if you were a woman, i would know how to compete with you" who would have thought that the columbo creators could destroy me twice in one lifetime with the amazing gay tv movie that certain summer (1972)  - patrick mcgoohan’s deliciously evil performance as iago johnny cousin in othello all night long (1962), a criminally underrated actor. also he openly just starts smoking a joint in the film and i died. - marlina the murderer in four acts is a film i can hardly describe using words. i’ll say two: watch it. - good news, guys, the 1935 version of magnificent obsession is just as good as the 50s one
Tumblr media
- william demarest’s constant pratfalling in the miracle of morgan creek - kiss me deadly, a completely incomprehensible film that is bookended with a truly ICONIC start and finish - the evils of bureaucracy as anchored by two incredible performances in quo vadis, aida? and dear comrades!

- paul muni showing just why he was a star in i am a fugitive from a chain gang! - these performances being fifty years apart and the exact same (in my mind):

-  the excellent premature ejaculation joke in la ronde. those fucking french. - angela lansbury eating the shit out of every single scene she’s in in the manchurian candidate - this behind the scenes photo of river of no return:
Tumblr media
(#me and my butch gf)
- the scenery-chewing contest that is glenn close and john malkovich in dangerous liaisons - holes in a striped shirt as a visual metaphor for corruption and decay in her man (1930) - in the heat of the night’s cinematography being based around sidney poitier’s skin color and creating some of the best photography of him, period.
Tumblr media
- charles grodin in midnight run and the great muppet caper single-handedly pulling me out of a severe depressive episode - carole landis being so beautiful in the technicolor moon over miami that i forgot every other person who was in the film
Tumblr media
- and lastly, the film of the year for me, a film that shows all the ways patriarchy grinds down and kills women. a film that shows why we need class consciousness between women. a film that is a laugh in the face of all men. if there’s one film you come away from this watching, i hope it is a question of silence.
