Bigger list than usual. Part of that is me missing last week's thread, and part is because our family got together for late Easter and watched some movies together. So some of them wouldn't be my normal picks, and my score is more about how much I enjoyed watching them more so than an objective rating of the movie. But with that being said, does anybody want to talk about:
Fight Club (1999): ★☆☆ (rewatch)
I enjoyed this less on a rewatch. Knowing the secrets changes the vibe of the whole movie and it just didn't sit right with me.
To Catch A Thief (1955): ★★☆
Jesus Revolution (2023): ★★☆
Field of Dreams (1989): ★★★ (rewatch)
Jack Jack Attack (short) (2005): ★★★ (rewatch)
We also watched the director's commentary for this. They talked about how this was rewritten so that all of Jack Jack's stunts were things real kids couldn't imitate by themselves.
Flow (2024): ★★★ (rewatch)
My parents talked less than usual during this movie; they were locked in. Surprisingly, their cat didn't react at all to any of the animal noises.
That Thing You Do (1996): ★★☆
The Silence of the Lambs (1990): ★★★ (rewatch)
Chicago (2002): ★☆☆
For a best picture winner, I was disappointed. It was more sleaze than style, which is doubly bad since it was made by Miramax. And then the plot was simple and had no real surprises.
