Best movies of the last few years?


Cobweb (2023) I rewatched this to see if it was good as I remember, and it was. I think the fact that it stars Lizzy Caplan already puts it ahead of the average scary thriller.
It definitely doesn't follow the standard plot you would expect. I was pretty surprised.

I keep trying to have my dad watch The whale and he keeps saying he will watch it. I’m about to ask for my DVD back. I’m not sure Aronofsky is for him anyways..

reply

Honestly, it doesn't even feel like an Aronofsky movie. He doesn't really make movies based on plays like this. Just don't tell him there is a naked Brendan Fraser shower scene.

reply

I told him that he will need to get through the first scene and then he should be good for a nice viewing.

reply

I will give this movie a try
