I’ll go first. For me, it’s Across The Spider-Verse. The excellent score and soundtrack is just a bonus.
Dune. While there’s no way to perfectly capture the magic of the intricate machinations of (Frank) Herbert’s universe, the movie gets about as close as anyone could, I think. The only thing in its league is Jackson’s LOTR trilogy, and I think Dune is at least as good if not slightly better. Can’t wait for the second (and hopefully third!) one!
I loved the movie, but I feel like they didn’t include enough Dr. Yueh. I also feel like they could have ended the movie a few scenes earlier.
Edge of tomorrow. Really hoping for a sequel including Emily Blunt.
Isn’t it too late for a sequel?
Why? Top gun got a sequel after nearly forty years.
This tread has been a moment of personal discovery. In trying to imagine what movie I’ve seen this month I realized I haven’t seen a movie yet this year - unless you count standup specials which live in the movie section of Plex. I’m like 80% sure the last movie I watched was the Bob’s Burgers Movie. What happened to me?!
Definitely Spiderverse. It was almost too fast moving at times, but fantastic story telling and, of course, art design.
Upgrade. I freaking love that movie even for how dark it is.
Hadn’t heard of this before so just watched the trailer, this is going on the watch list immediately, thanks!
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I just shared it with my kids. But we’re godly seeing across the spiderverse tonight, so that might change.
This is my all-time favorite. One of my favorite memories of this movie was — when I showed it to a way less idealistic friend of mine, he felt so sad when the last of the memories is being removed. I did not expect him to do that let alone like the movie.
We had our 19 year old nephew watch that this last weekend, a beautiful masterpiece still.
I… have not seen any movies this month actually. Definitely want to check out Spiderman though and Asteroid City looks like it might be fun too.
Asteroid city looks awesome, let us know how it is of you catch it
Emily the criminal was pretty decent. Good acting, the story is okay, but nothing special. Enjoyable. Then I watched Oh Lucy! With Josh Hartnet. That was a downer of a movie somehow. It’s about a japanese lady who is kinda unsatisfied with her life, tries to change things up, opens up a bit, but it’s not as successful as one expects. Not bad, rather weird movie!
Across the Spidervetse was incredible
Ikr?!
Definitely Across the spider verse, 9/10 best movie of the year so far, but can’t wait to watch Past Lives
I’d say The Covenant but BlackBerry was a close second
Do the final two episodes of Star Trek: TNG count? If so, that.
For a series with its ups and downs, they really nailed everything that’s great about Star Trek in the final two episodes with none of the lows. Relevant social commentary, intelligent dialog, an intriguing science fictional mystery, some action, and a superbly dramatic Picard! Not just Picard either. Almost everyone in the cast gets a chance to shine across the three time periods. Brent Spiner especially gets a nod for the subtle changes to old Data’s character.
I marathoned The Godfather trilogy a couple of weeks ago. 1 is still one of my favourite movies
Extraction 2, but there wasn’t much competition because I only saw 2 movies this month.

The Mario movie was way better than I expected tbh
