hbo movies

Essential melancholy for people who'd love to bedew in sadness, full of contemplation as we then witness these characters at their crossroads. Moody, brutal and brooding but not entirely devoid of wonder.

Movies that are equivalent to dream-pop, shoegaze music - They possess an ethereal emptiness…

Rotten Tomatoes - Best of year

Moveis that have had a IMAX release. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_released_in_IMAX
Updated with movies released up to and including 2022-12

Complete movies of the great directors. Starting with Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers.

The 21st Century's Most Acclaimed Films list serves as a companion to the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? 1,000 Greatest Films of all time list which, - by its nature - tends to have very few films from the 21st century in it. The 21st Century's Most Acclaimed Films list attempts to highlight and honour this century's most critically revered films and act as a sort of 'resting bay' for many great films that are likely to be included in the 1,000 Greatest Films list sooner or later.
