Also watched The Babysitter and The Babysitter: Killer Queen, which were great. I love clever, funny horror. I watched Velvet Buzzsaw after those but it fell flat.
Misbehaviour with Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Keira Knightley about feminists protesting the 1970 Miss World beauty pageant was one I really liked. There's a scene at the end where the actors look right into the cameras and the cameras flips to show the real women the actors portrayed now, 50 years later. I liked that a lot.
Oh, also Hysteria about the invention of the first vibrator, which was mostly fiction but fun. Hugh Dancy is just really easy to watch.

i saw nope and really enjoyed it. i have a lifelong [Spoiler (click to open)]chimp phobia and had no idea there was a chimp in this movie lmfaooooo. holy shit, that flashback scene when they show the attack from the kid's perspective - that was the most terrified i've been in a movie theatre since under the skin lmao, the only other movie i've seen that made me tear up from sheer terror. it was an incredible scene, that fistbump will haunt me. and besides that, i liked that it was a fun and simple plot that still gave you a lot to chew on analytically if you want to. i'm excited to watch it again, i think it will definitely hold up better than us did for me.
i also saw natural born killers for the first time bc i wanted more juliette lewis in my ( ... )
