Captain Marval was an air force recruitment ad. Disney uses the reactions of chuds as a shield for their conservative, bland trash.

this is uh so fucking real

like no matter what “liberalesque” narrative gets shoehorned in, even if it’s fought for tooth and nail and someone somewhere meant it, there’s always a wider picture to take in

Rapidly running out of space.

(Not pictured is the massive Bergman boxset)
 
My physical media (movies, at least) are currently stashed in my computer desk. The bottom five containers are all Criterions, and each one has between 23-26 movies. Also the World of Wong Kar Wai and Three Colours box sets are on the top behind the Steelbooks.

I…am going to have to make some hard choices.

Also, seeing your shelf I’m kind of tempted to put them in spine order.
 
The only Criterions I have are Ivan's Childhood, STALKER and Blood Simple. The first two were blind purchases based on their reputation and knowing a bit about them. I ... still haven't watched STALKER. Ivan's Childhood was very good though! And Blood Simple is of course fantastic.

Everything Is Peachy With Jack Black: Actor-Singer on Hit ‘Super Mario Bros.’ Song, ‘School of Rock’ Turning 20, Taylor Swift and AI

"Peaches," which the Grammy winner co-wrote and performs in the film, has become a viral hit — though Black admits the rock ballad almost never happened.

Okay, string of consciousness coming right up! Here you go:

Soviet film

Chinese film

Fantasy films

Films in a series

Documentaries

Historical

Preferably recent films, but I don't mind this too much.

Animated

Anime

Donghua

3D-animated

Fighting

Fighting/kung fu but also with fantasy elements.

Good or extensive world-building (well, for a film or whatever).

Based on books.

War movie (not just World War II or anything).

War involving politics as well.

Shakespeare

Indie films, maybe?

19th century war movie.

Good aesthetic style that's original to the film.

Something stealthy, maybe?

Good fight scenes (think: the end of the 1970s Macbeth film)

medieval war (again, like Macbeth)

Marxism

labor unions

social history

anti-capitalist?

anti-monarchy

anti-feudal

Vietnamese film

Cuban film

best set-pieces

good lore

Films that have "real-life lore" to it; as in, an "interesting backstory" to the making of the film and how it eventually was made.

Films that inspired other films or other media, books, etc.

Cinematography, cinematography, cinematography. Good cinematography like what you saw in the Soviet Union is a must.

Cinematographic techniques and set-pieces that I'm sure to have not seen before.

"Obscure" films, I guess; hell, give me films that you haven't seen, but are interesting based on the description so I can maybe explore them myself.

American Civil War setting.

World War I setting.

Korean War setting.

Japanese film

Films hated initially, but are actually pretty good.

Films that spawned off their own series (like, a TV series that probably has nothing to do with the original film, but that I tend to love anyway).

Good endings, more or less.

Bittersweet endings are good too.

Civil Rights movement setting.

Obscure history setting.

Stuff that's also kinda educational (that also explains things well, at least a little).

Hell, even edu-tainment is fine, like how Doctor Who was originally.

Something that captures the spirit of A Song of Ice and Fire well (and not Game of Thrones).

Something with the same tone as the very first Assassin's Creed video game (and not Assassin's Creed II, which has a tone that's more upbeat and a lot less philosophical and pondering).

Mexican film

Nicaraguan film

Chilean film

A film that uses an obscure aesthetic style, if not its own.

Humor films are fine.

Mexican Revolution setting.

Docu-dramas

No cape-shit, ig, unless it's really, really good.

Good Autistic representation (but that's a tall order so maybe don't worry about it too much).

Good trans representation (also a tall order, I suppose, but it never hurts to try).

Space adventure

Anti-fascism

Anti-Nazi

Maybe another Disney film? Haven't watched those in a long while except Lightyear.

Something campy and kinda ridiculous (think: the Dynasty Warriors film... which I haven't seen yet, but I will probably just grab my meat-buns and get on with it at this point).

When finding a Chinese film, please don't make it yet another Hong Kong film recommendation (but, like, you can still recommend them, but also films from the Mainland too).

"Recent history" is fine, but "War on Terror" shit and stuff like it bores me to tears; for example, there's a lot that can be said about American Sniper... but it was also a very one-note film, nothing much was said, nothing interesting really happened, etc.

Indigenous film is also something I'm interested in.

Films on the 1960s/1970s/1980s (I mean regarding the leftist movements of the day).

Disability representation is good in general and I'm there for it.

I don't mind "anti-family" elements, that is, elements of a story where one's family isn't the point and there's even some rebeling against, well, one's family to begin with. I felt this was done badly in, say, The Last Jedi (so I don't think I really care about how it was retconed in The Rise of Skywalker, though both were certainly bad films). Really, I like "proletarian" shit where the working-class guy is sort-of the hero. I don't mind them being "special" in their own way, but I like it when he doesn't have any prestige unless it's earned.

Good music is always, err, good in my book.

Ambient music is also acceptable; I like atmospheric music in general too.

Different biomes are good. Not just green or foresty settings, if you catch my drift.

When I said "fantasy" originally, I had in mind "High Fantasy" film, but I doubt I'll find many... and what fantasy there is, it's generally "political" or "low fantasy."

I do not at all mind lots of special effects being used; I even like it. I don't mind it being "everywhere" like some people complain about.

Likable main characters; I hated The Illusionist's main character 'cause I felt that he was too... err, perfect? Not sure why myself. I think it's because the antagonists were made too... not evil, but too "unlikable." They were obviously trying to make you hate them... and I hated that. I don't mind hating an antagonist... I just don't like being led by the nose into hating them, if you catch my drift.

Pirate films are nice, but again, I doubt I'll find many. But nautical films? My cup of tea.

I don't mind "grey" antagonists with understandable motives or even with "sad backstories" but it's not a requirement; I just don't want to be "forced" into hating the antagonist. It is enough that the antagonist is the antagonist and a foil to the main character or main characters; you don't have to make me hate them. Let me decide to hate them or not to hate them. I may dislike them, but whether you want me to be "reviled" by them should be up to me. Don't bonk me over the head into hating them.

I do like a protagonist doing something good out of the kindness of his or her heart and not because they're ultimately compelled to do so. Someone that kinda volunteers to do something, you know?

This may seem funny to you, but I like protagonists that are honestly pretty affable and easy to like, though it's not a requirement. Just an upstanding person, I guess.

I love ensemble casts, but it's fine if you recommend me films that don't have that.

No over-acting. Nothing too intense in terms of acting, if it can be avoided. Hell, I'm Autistic and noise can fucking scare me, for example.

In general, melodrama is something I like to avoid... but then again, there has been a lot of film that I've enjoyed that can be considered, well, melodramatic. I mean, I really liked Joker in spite of some issues but it certainly did play up Arthur's plight, in my honest opinion.

Other films I liked so you have an idea of what I, uhh, like would be:

The Batman (that is, the recent film; hell, I liked it more than The Dark Knight)

Lightyear

Come and See (but damn, I wouldn't watch it again or anything!)

Russian Ark (this one is "obscure" to Western audiences and I don't know if any of you have heard of it, but it really... set an impression on me and I loved it; I doubt I'll see anything like it ever again)

Mongol (it had problems, but for some reason, I enjoyed it immensely; it just felt easy to watch, you know?)

Examples of stuff I hate:

Game of Thrones (okay, not a movie, but I've hated it since the beginning of season 2, and it's everything I want to avoid in a film)

The Force Awakens

Whale

October Skies

Forest Gump

Oh yeah, and you can recommend me TV shows, but I'm not sure if you're allowed to do so in this thread so I'll probably ask somewhere else.

Note: The above is NOT a check-list; you don't have to follow it to the T; hell, just getting 2 or 3 of these points right would probably mean I'll enjoy the movie... or even just striking one of these points.

You can get one point right, but otherwise, get another point wrong, and I'll still like the film; honestly, use your intuition in this case.

Thanks in advance, y'all!
 
Rewatched Barbie now that you can rent it for cheap. Still really enjoyed it! You don’t need me to tell you about this movie lol. Come over to my Mojo Dojo Casa House if you need more impressions.

Watched Beau is Afraid for the first time. Ari Aster still batting 1.000 with me. Birthday Boy will haunt my dreams forever. Tons of memorable performances here; the stretch of the film where Beau is taken in by a family after an accident is…wow. I understand why this movie underperformed; it’s a hard “sell” in the sense that’s it’s not an identifiable genre and does not conform to any traditional plot structure. But all that is what makes the movie good, of course! If you find yourself in the mood for three hours of absurdity, I’d recommend it.

there's a lot here but based on several of these I think you'd appreciate Bi Gan's films Kaili Blues or Long Day's Journey Into Night! thematically dense Chinese films that take heavy inspiration from e.g. Tarkovsky, with extremely impressive, attention-grabbing, beautiful cinematography.
the latter is available free on Kanopy (if your library gives you access) and both are available to rent for a few bucks on Apple TV, YouTube, etc.

Yes, yes!

For queer and trans documentaries I really liked Shakedown a few years back (a decade following performers at a lesbian strip club in LA), and Kokomo City has been making waves recently (haven’t seen it yet though, sorry).

Also to hit a few keywords in that list, I’ll always recommend Welcome to Dongmakgol, a whimsical “Ghibli irl” story set in an isolated village that’s sheltering soldiers as the Korean war encroaches. Music by Hisaishi.
