26, i think) FACE/OFF (1997, film)
this movie somehow manages to balance batshit insanity and genuinely well done emotional beats like it's fucking nothing and then some, and god is it so damn good. one of the best AAA action movies i've ever seen

32) Do the Right Thing (1989, film)
the most beautiful part about this movie honestly is how it manages to be like this blend between a hangout movie and a drama about racial tensions and the climax has everyone coming together to fight a greater evil. fuck the police man

i like a lot of the themes this movie presents and a lot of them are done well but it could def. benefit from a longer runtime and a deeper dive into the whole artificial intelligence angle outside of "one is a wife and the other wants murder"

this movie had so many chances to be interesting and super wild but instead it mostly decides to be a nu metal remake of the texas chainsaw massacre before, yknow, the ACTUAL nu metal remake to the texas chainsaw massacre. conflicted

honestly way better than i remember. the human drama is surprisingly well done and i appreciate it taking on the "what if this really happened" side of things rather than endless monster fights, even if the last 20 minutes ruled. solid stuff
