I strted using Letterboxd this year for my movie list (well, still using LJ as wlel) and I love it. If you think that'd help with you keeping the list up and such, do tell (and drop me your preferred email) and I can give you an invite.

As for rec... give me a genre and I'll rec you movies!
But first: The Fall, always recommend that. Oh and Hero by Zhang Yimou (think the original title is Ying Xiong). It's Chinese and one of the most gorgeous movies I've watched (then The Fall came a long, which is also one of the most gorgeous movies ever made)

That site looks really awesome! Thank you so very much. My email is tabetha.hicks@gmail.com

Far as genres go I tend to like indie, drama, rom-com, historical. But really if the plot grabs me I'll try just about anything.

Invitation has bene sent!

Oh it's always so hard to rec things. I don't know what to pick!
But let's try.

Last year I was very happily surprised by You Instead (also known as tonight You're Mine). I got it due to one of the actors and thought I wouldn' like it, ended up loving it. It's a romantic indie, I suppose romantic drama comedy? I dunno. Filmed during a music festival and over 4 days. A bit different form your regular romcoms.

As for other romantic movies some of my favourites are Shelter, Imagine Me & You, Life As We Know It, Touch of Pink (I'd think the last one would be indie too... also I just realised 1, 2 and 4 are all gay. Yep.) Oh, and Stardust. That really was my go to movie for a while, for those days I felt really icky (like when I was sick).

As for historical I really recommend Hua Mulan. It's Chinese, and based on the legend of Mulan. Nothing like the Disney movie. More what you'd expect it to be if it was reals. She's a soldier, so it's basically war war death death paaaaain. I think I've never cried as much ( ... )
