The way this works is that you post a review of the best film you watched this week. It doesn't have to be a new release, just any film you have seen over the last seven days that you feel is worth talking about. Here are some rules.
1. Check to see if your favourite film of last week has been posted already.
2. Please post your favourite film of last week.
3. NO TV SHOWS!
4. ALWAYS use spoiler tags. Report any comments that spoil recent / little-known films (e.g. A Quiet Place, Avengers: Infinity War) without using the spoiler tag. Seriously, not everyone has seen Infinity War yet - don't be that person who ruins the film for someone else.
5. Comments that only contain the title of the film will be removed!
Here are some great comments from last week's thread:

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior - I thought that I was an expert on this film. I had copied it on VHS way back in the day (mid '80s), and had seen it many times. The great quotes this movie gave me as a kid! I just watched the bluray and, OMG, the detail and lush world that is created in that movie blew me away (again)! What an amazing precursor to the latest movie; purely in the same vein, unlike the 3rd movie. It was great to see such a progression and growth as a story and a film series. The bluray let me see stuff I hadn't before, such as Lord Humungus' pulsing veins in the back of his scraggly haired head. What a ride this movie is! Plus, it was weird to see all of the gory details since I had only had a version I copied of of tv. Back to the latest movie, it was great to see how Miller was able to confidently do away with a lot of the voice over narrative introduction and just let the viewer jump in. I wonder how much of that leaned on the prior films, because I feel that the second Mad Max film could have skipped that stuff and it would be pretty clear to the viewer that shit went south and gas is now gold. Love it!

Dancer in the Dark (2000), by Lars Von Trier - I had seen this movie a long time ago, when I was in high school. For some reason it came back to my mind a few days ago, and decided to watch it again, as I barely remembered anything about it. It's incredibly heartbreaking, and also very weird at times. The musical numbers happen when you least expect them, but I guess that's what you get when someone like Von Trier is behind the camera. It's an anti-musical, actually, with really messed-up songs, dealing with really messed-up stuff. Also, Björk's performance is impressive. She really embraced her role. There's not much I can say, honestly, as it wouldn't do it any justice. It's something you just have to see. In the end, it's not a movie for everyone. From the themes it deals with, to the way it is made/presented, it's definitely difficult to watch, but I wouldn't have it any other way, honestly. A brutal film.

Have fun and play nice!
