  Submarine rewatch nervousyoungsam · 8 Sep 2026 ★★★★

  i can’t remember the last time i watched this and it’s honestly probably been 10 years. still such a great coming of age film. and what an amazing soundtrack.

  River of Grass claire · 7 Sep 2026 ★★★★½

  the nineties were full of lovers-on-the-run movies and this is the only one i've seen that pauses to challenge the whole thing. strong Wanda vibes.

  Tremors rewatch ben · 7 Sep 2026 ★★★★½

  What the hell's in those things, Burt?
  A few household chemicals in the proper proportions.
  Always a good time.

  Close-Up Izzy · 6 Sep 2026 ★★★½

  This reminds me of one of my architecture professors who used to sit outside of Frank Gehrys Santa Monica house for a few hours in her car when she was doing her Ph.D at UCLA. She ended up taking us all on a field trip to Frank Gehrys house and we stood outside his house as well.

  I Want Your Sex ben · 6 Sep 2026 ★★★

  How do you know all of this?
  Because I’ve been in therapy since I was six.
  Olivia Wilde rocks the fuck out of that haircut.

• 
  Forbidden Fruits Emily b · 6 Sep 2026 ★★★

  Something terminally ill with this movie couldn’t tell if all the Reese’s pumpkins I ate were blocking my ability to comprehend dialogue but I could never get a grasp on the cadence and cutting of every conversation in this movie excuse me what was that. Victoria pedretti’s ass…

  Jaws Andres · 5 Sep 2026 ★★★★

  There should be a Columbo episode where Columbo investigates the very convenient death of Quint.🔒 contains spoilerstap to reveal

• 
  Love on the Run ben · 5 Sep 2026 ★★★½

  Antoine Doinel loves being a fuccboi to beautiful women. Too many flashbacks to the previous films in this one. I liked it initially, but it felt like playing a greatest hits.

• 
  Short Stay claire · 4 Sep 2026 ★★★★

  really well paced and engaging for how quiet and minimal the film is. lots of room to breathe and be present.

  Desperate Teenage Lovedolls Izzy · 4 Sep 2026 ★★★½
