    What is a king without his kingdom?
    This guy is an absolute freak along with the entertainment director who is obsessed with making Willy Wonka analogies and listens to the soundtrack from Shrek the musical.

    Wildwood Lainey Green · 24 Oct 2026 ★★★★
    *Jake Gyllenhaal voice*: “This world we live in today is a pretty Wild wood too.”
    You probably could’ve cut twenty percent of the storylines out of this but god if it’s not gorgeous, and at the end of the day I did cry. Travis Knight 100% our most ethical nepo baby.

  • Good Morning
    Good Morning Wilmer Flores · 23 Oct 2026 ★★★★
    The universal language of farts exceeding 50% of the film’s dialogue is likely what excluded this from being nominated for best international full feature during the 1960 Academy Awards.

    The first 5-10 min is among my favorite openings in any film. Ray Winstone almost getting crushed by the boulder and then saying he has the bends from being underwater in a six foot swimming pool is comedic genius.
    Second Sight cooked with the 4K restoration capturing Winstone in his budgie smuggler in all its glory.

    If your average American conservative Christian gets their hands on this they’ll likely say “heck yeah brother, let me have the freedoms to slap my kid a bit and not be gay,” but they won’t be sitting through a 2.5 hour film that involves reading subtitles.

Taste Matches

Each other’s closest match in the club.

How matches work

At least 20 films both people have rated. Agreement is the share of those films rated within half a star. We choose the highest unrounded agreement rate, then the larger shared sample. Exact ties remain joint closest matches. Only mutual pairs appear, once each. Rewatches do not add extra votes; this is rating agreement, not a personality score.
