I think in 2026 I want to at least watch one movie a week... I often just read books and don't watch anything, I swear I said this last year too but maybe next year I'll do it. I can't even name a single movie I've watched this year, I sometimes put something on in the background but end up doing other stuff

as a Scottish person, seeing Susan Boyle repping it makes me want to see it lol

I haven't seen many new movies this year, but The Ballad of Wallis Island is easily my pick for #1 of 2025. Funny but with a definite heart. Sucks you right in from the very start and does not let go. Lots of excellent lines that you just want to commit to memory to whip out at any appropriate moment à la Dumb & Dumber or Pulp Fiction.
Last year's fav film was Perfect Days, if that gives any indication of my taste.

Wake up dead man and one battle after another are magnificent.

Then just rewatch the wedding scene @Jett129 that alone is worth it. People often think about the Russian roulette, but the portrayal of this poor, squalid life in 1960s Pennsylvania is even more impressive. Like when the survivors come together at the end to sing "God Bless America."

It’s over, OBAA movie of the year.

@endo
I love the scene with the French colonialists in the extended version. The meal is such a surreal juxtaposition in an already surreal movie, -
@ARNC great recommendation. Terri Hooley is a legend in Ireland and The Undertones one of my favourite bands of that era. I’m seeing them again on their UK tour this year.
