I was fortunate to catch a 70mm matinee at the BFI Southbank surrounded by a full house of completely silent British pensioners. I can’t remember the last time I felt so at peace.
As a married man, that handjob reunion scene was terrifying: her rubbing it out while telling him she is with him everywhere he goes. Then a single tear falls down his cheek. Fucking brutal but so funny.
Appreciate your take on this film and solidifying it in my to watch list.
Not included in your list but a worthy mention is Lawrence of Arabia. I sat for a screening and was awestruck by its ability to show the complexities of a character in a situation which is honestly still fucked to this day.
Fellow Brutalist Boy lets fucking go

Yeah watching a 3.5 hour film at 11am with 5 other people was peak quiet luxury lol
I could have watched another 3.5 hours of just wide shots of the Carrera mines.
One of the few highlights of the film, the mine shots, mesmerising.

There was def a lot of spicy tuna hand rolls over 3.5 hrs
When was the last time you watched Belly son? That sound track is sleeper classic. Nore Sometimes….
Although Mel Gibson's accent bore no relation to a Scotsman, the other characters were Scots, not Irishmen!
I'm speaking specifically of the Mad Irish Character in Braveheart played by David O'Hara who is Scottish in real life.
Thank goodness! I thought we were watching two different movies!
