Cinemaps: An Atlas of 35 Great Movies | Andrew DeGraff, A.D. Jameson
post image

I am usually a little behind on new releases, but having just finished “Late Night With The Devil“ I have now watched the 5 movies released this year that I have anticipated the most. Below is my ranking of the 5, all of which I enjoyed:
*Dune 2 (This was one of my most anticipated movies of the year. It lived up to my expectations in every way possible & occasionally I think that I might even like it more than the original.)
*Immaculate (CONT)

vivastory (Initially I thought that this would be a poor man's Rosemary's Baby. It's not. It's definitely a religious horror movie & not for the faint of heart, but nothing in it is gratuitous & it shows that horror is as adept at tackling social issues as other genres).
*Civil War (This is one of my least favorite Alex Garland movies, but I still loved how the focus of this was on the journalists & although I have heard complaints that it was too CONT
1w
vivastory vague regarding the politics involved, I can understand the reason why. I have been itching for a movie for a few years focusing on journalists & this movie scratched that itch)
*Monkey Man (I read an interview w/ Dev Patel saying that this was his most frustrating filmmaking experience. One thing that I appreciated about the movie was that it did not talk down to Western audiences, but the themes of religious extremists hijacking political CONT
1w
vivastory movements was def easy to understand. Dev Patel was a pleasure to watch as always.
*Late Night With The Devil (The streaming sensation of the year. I enjoyed this comedy/horror film that had a bit more horror than comedy in it. Not sure if it will make my best of the year list but what I found most interesting was that it showed that there is mileage left in the found footage film genre.)
*Sidenote: I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the (CONT)

vivastory excellent “Dream Scenario“ starring Nicholas Cage & Julianne Nicholson. This was released last year but I only recently watched it. In my mind this is one of the best A24 movies that I have recently seen. Loved it! 1w
TrishB My daughter was desperate to see Dune 2 and no one wanted to go. So she went on her own (first time- aged 22). It‘s now her new hobby. She thought it was amazing too. 1w
batsy I enjoyed Monkey Man, too. I felt like he learned something from how to frame certain shots from being in Slumdog Millionaire (the city scenes). It was like a mix of that and John Wick with Indian politics held up to scrutiny. 1w
vivastory @TrishB I love going to the movies with a friend but I also love going alone,, especially during the weekday. Glad that your daughter loved it! 1w
vivastory @batsy That's a good comparison! It's always nice to get movies with a bit of a different perspective here. We can definitely use more of it. 1w
JamieArc @TrishB I discovered going to movies alone at the age and loved it. I wish I did it more (and that my husband didn‘t want to tag along all the time 😂) 1w
TrishB @JamieArc it can be very liberating! 6d
Reggie Have you seen the Hell House LLCs? They released and new origins movie last Halloween that was found footage and holy shit that scared the crap out of me so much so that I had to turn it off and wait until the sun came out to finish it. Glad you liked Late Night. 5d
vivastory @Reggie I have seen the first 2 & enjoyed them. I hadn't heard anything about the most recent one but will def check it out after yr recommendation! 4d

I ended up with a score of 134/187. I used to be a big movie goer, at least once or twice a week. Then Covid came along, theaters shut down and I got out of the habit. Since 2020 I've seen two movies in the theater (the last Fantastic Beasts movie and Indiana Jones & The Dial of Destiny).

dabbe Not bad at all! I watched tons of movies in the 80s but have tapered off since then. Now I just want to rewatch beloved ones from the past. Thanks for playing! 🤩🤗😀 1w

Wow, reviewing this list of movies brought back so many memories! I did this challenge with my hubby since he has a better memory for these things than I do. 😅 We still watch some of these periodically & they never get old. Favourites in no particular order are Ferris Bueller‘s Day Off, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Die Hard (DEFINITELY a Christmas movie 😂), & Back to the Future. Thanks for putting this list together @dabbe ! #TLT #ThreeListThursday

dabbe You and your hubby kicked butt! Bravo! 🤩🤗😘 1w

UwannaPublishme Wow! You two are quite the movie buffs. I must check this out with Craig! 7d
PurpleyPumpkin @UwannaPublishme Honestly, this was a blast! Rob and I started dating in the late 80s and we were always going to movies! Or renting them on VHS. 😜 6d
UwannaPublishme Craig and I did the same! 😂 We met in 1990 and we each had quite a collection of VHS tapes. I hate to admit, we still have most of them! 😳📼 6d

I got 35% and had far more favorites than I expected! I don't generally think of myself as an 80s movies fan. I tagged “Beetlejuice“ because i watched it during a very depressed time of my life and it made me laugh so hard, I'll always be grateful for it.

I think I've watched all the movies on the list I want to watch.

dabbe Thanks for sharing! Do you have a favorite movie era? 🤩🤩🤩 1w
willaful @dabbe I'm all about the oldies, 30s,40s,50s. Though the animated children's movies of the 21st century have been fire! And mostly what I've watched for the last 20 years. 😂

(I remember having a free evening and going out to see “Her“ in the theater by myself and being stunned to see advertisements for movies for adults!)

dabbe I love the oldies, too! Especially film noir from the 1940s and the musicals of the 1950s. 🤩🤗😘 1w
willaful Musicals were my first love. 1w

Mehso-so

Full disclosure-I absolutely love the movie, so I may be biased. I‘m glad I finally read this, and though some things were the same as in the movie, there were also tons of differences. IMO, this was a bit boring! A rare instance where the movie adaptation was better. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@dabbe #ThreeListThursday #TLT I love the golden age of movies 🎥 and my favourite actresses are 1. Katherine Hepburn - Philadelphia Story ( with Carey Grant is a favourite). 2. Bette Davis - All About Eve or Dark Victory are my faves 3. Colette Colbert - It Happened One Night is my fave ( I love the part at the end when the horn blows and you know the Wall of Jericho is tumbling down

CarolynM ❤️ You‘ve named 3 of my favourite movies - All About Eve, It Happened One Night and Philadelphia Story. 3w

#tlt #threelistthursday Thanks @TheSpineView for the tag!

1) Ingrid Bergman (isn‘t Casablanca the best??)
2) Maggie Smith (ahhh, Downton Abbey)
3) Elizabeth Taylor (those violet eyes, I loved her in National Velvet; and my grandpa met her when he changed her tire when she had a flat in Marfa, Texas when she was filming Giant. She went on to bigger and better things and Grandpa did, too. He eventually became mayor of Marfa. 😊

TheBookHippie I agree Elizabeth Taylor!!! ♥️♥️ 3w
Susanita Ingrid Bergman is stunning in Casablanca! 3w
Leftcoastzen I long to visit Marfa! 3w
