i’ve been meaning to change my letterboxd top 4 for months but i only managed to do it within an hour of reblogging my old list
old version: annihilation, moonlight, spotlight, xanadu. purposeful one-word theme. i still love all these movies, but i haven’t watched annihilation in a while and most of them didn’t seem to fit my Current Identity TM, so it seemed like time to freshen things up
new version: velvet goldmine, nope, mad max fury road, ladyhawke. there’s no organized bit like the last one, but velvet goldmine is a good contender for single all-time favorite movie, nope is my favorite movie of the last five years, mad max is one of the best-crafted movies i’ve ever seen, and ladyhawke not only fits that “campy movies i was raised on” slot that xanadu fulfilled, but it’s shapeshifting fantasy with hot people and therefore is also gender.
