the baptism sequence at the end of the godfather obv

This would be in my top five for sure.

Also in my top five but don’t watch if you haven’t seen it.

When the dialogue fades away and you can just see everyone around them starting to listen
 :sob:

Ok this was too good an excuse to waste some time.

My top five in no particular order.

I dunno, I think I like the Italian restaurant scene even better.

Did you see Ambulance? Felt like the two-hour blockbuster version of this scene imo.

Enough greatest scenes of all time being posted that there should almost certainly be a Xmas draft

Nope, but planning on it soon!

I forgot what an absolute banger The Retreat is. It is another home rental gone wrong that also has excellent LGBTQ2S+ representation.

The Retreat is a 2021 Canadian slasher film, directed by Pat Mills. The film stars Tommie-Amber Pirie and Sarah Allen as Renee and Valerie, a lesbian couple who book a weekend trip to a cabin in the woods, only to be abducted and tortured by a mysterious figure who livestreams gruesome killings of gay people on the Internet for profit.

The film was directly inspired by a desire to subvert the “bury your gays” and “dead lesbian syndrome” tropes common in horror fiction, by telling a story in which queer characters are placed in a conventional horror film scenario but successfully use their wits to survive and fight back.

One critic referred to it as the lesbian Get Out.

You need to watch One Cut of the Dead. Don’t read any reviews or see any previews.

Appreciate you. Just like the end of Don’t Look Up. The most important part is the last three seconds of footage after the credits.

I’m listening to a best of 2022 movies podcast, and one of the movies they talked about was a horror movie called Speak No Evil. I am super behind on movies of all types, and horror isn’t a category that I’m drawn to that much, so I figured I’d just check out the plot.

Spoilers, obviously. WTF

Have any of you seen this? Is it as wild as it sounds?

I think I posted about this earlier, it’s extremely good, very disturbing to watch.
