Good question!
  I think I'm unique in some ways and hopelessly ordinary in others . . . but as to which ways are the majority, I'd have a hard time saying

1980's The Changeling is an undeservedly under-rated and often overlooked masterpiece of a ghost story.

If ever you are weighted down by the ugliness of life, listen to Claude Debussy's Clair de lune, and know there's also redemptive beauty in this world.

Anora (2024)

I expected this to be part rom-com switching over into gangster action. In fact it is much more interesting and weird combination of social commentary and screwball comedy. Performances are excellent all around and the humour is wonderfully deadpan.

It does take a while to get going. If you have a narrative movie, there is a central question, and the plot is propelled by your characters making decisions that will affect the answer to that question. Here you are well half an hour in before any such decision is taken. This is a problem I have with many contemporary movies. (not all, in One Battle After Another, for instance, the action starts right off the bat).

I never knew there were so many Russians in the New York area.
