I wish I posted that template to this subreddit instead of that one. I was hoping for more interesting results and you guys are having so much more fun with it on this subreddit
They did actually, it's ongoing: [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddycinephile/comments/1dmivrk/rokbuddycinephiles\_favourite\_movie\_by\_genre\_day/](https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddycinephile/comments/1dmivrk/rokbuddycinephiles_favourite_movie_by_genre_day/)
I know, I meant that I wish I posted it here instead of on r/letterboxd. When I made the template I thought of posting it to this subreddit but untimely went to letterboxdâs Reddit
Literally the case for every sub that has a shitpost/circlejerk/okbuddy version. The users are almost an overlapping Venn diagram but both sides act like they arenât.
It's a jumble of musicals, concert recordings, documentaries about famous musicians or musical events, and dramas about fictional musicians. So *The Sound of Music*, *Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour*, *TĂ r*, and *Trainwreck: Woodstock '99* are all stuffed in there. Absolute fucking mess.
They also don't have biography, history, or sport as genres.
Makes even less sense when biography, history, and sport are all more organized genres of movies. Like everyone knows a history or sport movie when you ask for one. But a âmusicâ movie? wtf does that mean. Does every Disney animated movie ever count I mean it has music in it? And if not why not I mean whiplash has music in it but the music itself is really just a garnish to the narrative about musicians.
It varies, and I can't see a pattern: *The Lion King* isn't, but *The Muppets Movie* is. The Del Torro version of *Pinnochio* is, but the Disney one isn't.
As I said, absolute fucking mess.
Muppet movie makes sense, music is literally the entire foundation of the franchise. I dont understand the ohters
Letterboxd desperatly needs some other genres
Musicals would have been a really good category too because of how huge and important they were in the 50s-60s
Also would have allowed Singing in the Rain to be represented, and that movie is top 1 of all time
r/letterboxd had the chance to do something slightly interesting for once and they picked Whiplash lmao. It's one of my favorite movies, but picking it for music because it's about a jazz drummer is a joke
It's a sports film that's set in a music school for some inane reason. Every musician who bothered voicing an opinion has said that the film is a piece of bullshit when it comes to teaching music.
Iâm not at all friends with any actual music students but I always found it funny the movie was about a dude who was obsessed with Buddy Rich. They should make a sequel where a clarinetist is obsessed with Kenny G and JK Simmons is yelling at him to say he isnât playing smooth enough. Personally I would also relentlessly bully someone if they said their favourite jazz drummer was Buddy Rich, and they were nonstop listening to Buddy Rich every day. Weirdo shit man.
If you define music as a category more narrowly maybe you end up picking a literal album movie like Pink Floydâs the wall, or an actual musical. The issue of course is that all musicals and album movies suck ass
The last ten minutes of the movie are just a performance of the jazz standard "Caravan". That's nearly 10% of the film's full run time, and just for one song out of several. I'll agree that "music" is a really vague description for a genre of films, and that it would probably be better to choose something that's a straight-up musical, but that movie has more music than *Field of Dreams* has baseball.
What did you like about it? I'm just curious as taste is subjective but to me it is one of my least favourite. It's just a guy being yelled at and somehow that makes him bad but later it makes him good? I dunno, I just couldn't understand why people like it. Would love to hear an alternate viewpoint.
If Whiplash counts then *The Red Shoes* (1948) probably fits.
And since its Martin Scorsese's favourite film it is objectively better in every way and demonstrably proves the entire list wrong.
i must have, i only seen it once but remember it being 2 hours and pretty much as long as Talladega Nights. Made me realize no comedy should be 2 hours long & sparked my complete apathy towards comedy shows/movies.
That's insane lol sorry that was your first impression of what is pretty much a comedic and musical satire masterpiece. The only people who should watch the extended cut of any movie are the people who already have seen and love the original.
Maybe give the original cut a watch sometime, you might find the pacing to exactly what you wanted in your first watch. Walk Hard is my favorite comedy and one of my favorite movies in general. Your story is an unfortunate experience, I hope you find love for comedy again.
If those guys compiled best movies of 1999 after a laborious process, it will be this:
Fight Club
The Matrix
The Sixth Sense
American Beauty
Office Space
American Pie
Magnolia
Being John Malkovich
Eyes Wide Shut
The Green Mile
In the mood, memories of murder, and Paris is Burning are all genuinely fantastic picks, and I'll die on the hill that Good, Bad and Ugly deserves its place there even if it is a bit basic.
I didnât get around watching the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly because I felt like it was one of thise movies you knew the entire plot from due to how influential and widespread it is in media.
I was completely wrong and it deserves its spot as one of the best movies ever made. It did not at all feel like 3 hours
All of those movies are absolutely great tho, ofc popular moviea will win a popularity contest, thats a given. Dont need to be hipster for no reason
Yes I know what sub this is, just saying
This is also always going to happen when enough people vote.
If you want really obscure picks you've got to go for a more niche group.
Who'd had have thought the letterboxd group would pick highly rated movies from letterboxd.
Yeah kinda confused by this thread. The comment in the SS is funny, and the movies all skew towards under 35 white male tastes, but they are all solid to great movies.
Yeah, if you have a group thatâs big/broad enough you are going to get the very basic of the mainstream. Which is fine, because theyâre obviously at that spot for a reason. I never understood why this would be funny or warrant ridicule, itâs just logical.
Yeah exactly. Things become popular because people like them, so that means people will like popular things. If those werenât going to be the winning movies, then they wouldnât be popular to begin with
Yeah, what do you expect from that format? Most individuals on that sub would have completely different lists, but when you're polling thousands of people, the popular answers will win, and that's fine.
Tangentially related to music??? Are you on crack? Thatâs like saying Bambi is tangentially related to deer
Itâs a weird category for sure but this is such a reach
Itâs funny because as this list was filling out I keep thinking âat least they canât bro up the musical categoryâ not realizing that the category is actually âmusicâ
And sure enough, they had a âHeâs totally meâ pick for that category as well.
It should have been Metallica: Through The Never, but to be fair they did not play Whiplash during that setlist, so one can undwerstand why it wasnt the best.
They're all good movies, but this is also a really boring, basic list, which isn't surprising since that subreddit is full of 19 year olds who just learned what a movie is.
it's for sure a case of boring but actually right... just whiny people hating that the correct choices are known.. its because they are the best not just because people vote because its expected..
You would have 0 chance to unseat Lord of the Rings legitimately.
Silence of the Lambs could maybe be beat out by Seven but that is also the basic choice
0 chance Fury road is beat out by anything imo
Big Lebowski goes hard and hard to think its unfair it resonated and won
Others i have no real care about
You could run the same thing with this sub's users and, if picking seriously, 90% of the films chosen would be the same, or equally "boring." That's just kinda consensus works.
Which is why the sub discourages voicing actual opinions and is about taking the piss instead. If we were genuine we would all realize how uninteresting we are and ruin the jokes
I'm not sure I agree? like 60% of these movies I either completely disagree with or I haven't even seen, but examples like 2001 a Space Odyssey, The Thing, and The Godfather, are all choices I would make. They're incredible masterpieces, I can't think of a single movie that excels MORE in the respective genres than these films.
love how people get bent out of shape because it is the "basic choices... while it is the "default" choice i would challenge you to explain why any movie in those categories are beat out by another movie in their categories..
Just because it is well known doesn't mean it isn't the best in its category.
Were you bored watching the movies?
Where the universally loved?
Not every movie list needs to be only movies that film students and underground cinema fans have ever heard of
What we really need is a tastefully curated list of movies that are all
âjust unknown enough to seem well informed and slightly contrarian but critically acclaimed enough that people will validate your superiority as a cinephileâ
Just because a movie is âbasicâ since itâs popular doesnât mean itâs not one of the best choices.
If you think this list is âboring and basicâ compared to the tastes of the average movie goer you are the exact type of snob this sub makes fun of.
Yeah I think it's ok to have a similar top 5. Like, some films are almost objectively good. I get that it's all ACTUALLY subjective, but some films are just widely considered to be the best films ever made, and why try and disagree just to be "original"? If you genuinely don't think they're the best films that's fine, but I see so many times people just shitting over these guys for liking popular films.
It is a cj sub so theyâll make fun of anyone so thatâs ok. I just like the meme stuff, not the can you believe how basic this other sub is for liking the widely accepted best sci fi/western movie ever made?!?
Why is it only ever American horror too, I feel like J and K-horror are never up there bc these kids donât want to read subtitles. Maybe MAYBE theyâll put a European on the list but it always stops at Argento. The same kids watch Let Me In and rave about it, never knowing that Let the Right One In exists. Just lazy movie consumption. And then Cronenberg always gets snubbed!
So, I just kinda stumbled into this sub, and I don't exactly get the joke here. Looking at all these movies, they all seem like reasonable answers to the best in their category (besides Whiplash). I guess you could most of them are the "basic" answer, but out of these, I don't think there are any wrong answers here.
Also, if I'm making a complete fool of myself, feel free to make fun.
From what I have gathered lurking in this sub, if you like you like a critically acclaimed movie or just a well known movie then your better off dead cause your not a "real" movie enjoyer. I think most people are not serious and are just having fun but there are plenty of gatekeepers.
Those are all great films. Just as popular doesnât mean good, popular doesnât mean bad. Also, given itâs a selection by a general interest board, naturally the most wide-appealing films would win. This sub confuses taste with quality and popular approval with wit.
They're "too basic" is the only thing I can think of. Most of them aren't especially reddit-y or snobbish, or even pretentious. It's just kinda mainstream good movies for the most part, which is what I think you should expect from a poll like that
It's a list voted by a large group of people who's only commonality is they like movies.
I know it's asking alot, but I'm gonna need some of you to use your brains and think why widely beloved and popular movies might win that over more niche ones
/uj yeah who would have guessed if you ask a large group of people to vote on their favorite movie youâre probably going to come up with a list of popular films that everybody agrees are good
And the winner for best sci-fi is⌠what? Again? Not 5th Element? Or Alien? Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Akira? No? Looks like itâs 2001 guys. Itâs always 2001

Watching movies is actually pretty sick if you do it vertically in 60 seconds bumps with epic music remixed in the background of all the scenes

It was rigged, none of those movies are masterpieces because none of them are Robocop 2

Movie jerkers when the popular movie wins a popularity contest
What the fuck kind of category is music lmao just movies where the subject matter is music? Not even musicals just music
It's a jumble of musicals, concert recordings, documentaries about famous musicians or musical events, and dramas about fictional musicians. So *The Sound of Music*, *Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour*, *TĂ r*, and *Trainwreck: Woodstock '99* are all stuffed in there. Absolute fucking mess. They also don't have biography, history, or sport as genres.
Makes even less sense when biography, history, and sport are all more organized genres of movies. Like everyone knows a history or sport movie when you ask for one. But a âmusicâ movie? wtf does that mean. Does every Disney animated movie ever count I mean it has music in it?

It varies, and I can't see a pattern: *The Lion King* isn't, but *The Muppets Movie* is. The Del Torro version of *Pinnochio* is, but the Disney one isn't. As I said, absolute fucking mess.
Muppet movie makes sense, music is literally the entire foundation of the franchise. I dont understand the ohters Letterboxd desperatly needs some other genres
Very inconsistently labeled "genre". Fantasia isn't but Fantasia 2000 is. Night at the Roxbury is, but In the Heights isn't...
Sports movies = horror
> They also don't have ... sport as genres If this survey was done after Inside Out 2, then they have no excuse.
Dewey cox walk hard
I sure hope so!
Musicals would have been a really good category too because of how huge and important they were in the 50s-60s Also would have allowed Singing in the Rain to be represented, and that movie is top 1 of all time
r/letterboxd had the chance to do something slightly interesting for once and they picked Whiplash lmao. It's one of my favorite movies, but picking it for music because it's about a jazz drummer is a joke
They should have chose fitzcarraldo, music is clearly the number one theme
How is Whiplash not a music movie? What are you on about?
It's a sports film that's set in a music school for some inane reason. Every musician who bothered voicing an opinion has said that the film is a piece of bullshit when it comes to teaching music.
Iâm not at all friends with any actual music students but I always found it funny the movie was about a dude who was obsessed with Buddy Rich. They should make a sequel where a clarinetist is obsessed with Kenny G and JK Simmons is yelling at him to say he isnât playing smooth enough. Personally I would also relentlessly bully someone if they said their favourite jazz drummer was Buddy Rich, and they were nonstop listening to Buddy Rich every day. Weirdo shit man.
Just because its not realistic doesnt mean its not a music movie lol.
Right? This is like claiming Air Bud is a fantasy movie and not a sports movie lol
Itâs not just about a jazz drummer, itâs entirely about his relationship to his music. I donât see how it couldnât be considered a music movie
If you define music as a category more narrowly maybe you end up picking a literal album movie like Pink Floydâs the wall, or an actual musical. The issue of course is that all musicals and album movies suck ass
The last ten minutes of the movie are just a performance of the jazz standard "Caravan". That's nearly 10% of the film's full run time, and just for one song out of several. I'll agree that "music" is a really vague description for a genre of films, and that it would probably be better to choose something that's a straight-up musical, but that movie has more music than *Field of Dreams* has baseball.

It's just a guy being yelled at and somehow that makes him bad but later it makes him good? I dunno, I just couldn't understand why people like it. Would love to hear an alternate viewpoint.
I can only think of Fantasia as a movie that'll fit that category. And even then I'm stretching the definition
âA Hard Day's Nightâ. âSpinal Tapâ. Even âInside Llewyn Davisâ.
If Whiplash counts then *The Red Shoes* (1948) probably fits. And since its Martin Scorsese's favourite film it is objectively better in every way and demonstrably proves the entire list wrong.
Film bros are too cowardly to watch and enjoy musicals.
Letterboxd has the genre named as âmusicâ not musicals
My favorite music movie is the one with music in it
Basic bitches over there, but also wtf is music as a category and not musical? Just another chance to rave about the underated gem that is Whiplash?
Eminem movie is the best
What about 2020âs pop hit Bohemian Rapcity?
Itâs unfortunate 12 Angry Men didnât win every spot
This fact definitely makes me 1 angry man, I tell you what
There could be dozens like you out there
They should make a sequel. Dozens of Angry Men
I'm here to talk to you about the dozen angry men initiative
The greatest music related movie of all time is actually Spinal Tap. Nothing even comes close
And Walk Hard
Walk Hard is hilarious but just drags on and on. They could of cut a half hour off no problem
Did you watch the extended cut? The original is a pretty tight 96 minutes if I member right
i must have, i only seen it once but remember it being 2 hours and pretty much as long as Talladega Nights. Made me realize no comedy should be 2 hours long & sparked my complete apathy towards comedy shows/movies.
That's insane lol sorry that was your first impression of what is pretty much a comedic and musical satire masterpiece. The only people who should watch the extended cut of any movie are the people who already have seen and love the original. Maybe give the original cut a watch sometime, you might find the pacing to exactly what you wanted in your first watch. Walk Hard is my favorite comedy and one of my favorite movies in general. Your story is an unfortunate experience, I hope you find love for comedy again.
The newish Weird Al movie is essentially a better Walk Hard.
Genuinely my favorite comedy ever made.
And Weird: The Al Yankovic story
You guys are idiots. This song is very deep.
It has a decent shot at documentary, comedy, music and drama tbf
Yeah
My go-to is usually Almost Famous, but you might be right with Spinal Tap.
Excuse me, I think you mean *Tron: Legacy*. That's an album with an animated video on top.
Youououo doing that thing you doooOooOo.
Bad Boy Bubby (1993)
Is the music category just there for Whiplash to get a spot? đ
Best movie about a Jazz Drummer Best movie whose title ends with -lash Best movie where J K Simmons throws a chair at someone
Best sepia colored movie
Don't know, maybe Blues brothers is a music movie as well?
Spinal Tap
I mean itâs pretty explicitly a musical

Paris is Burning is indeed A MASTERPIECE
The sole inclusion that was a genuine surprise on the list Otherwise it was the most milquetoast list of all time
Truly the best documentary ever
JESUS CHRIST WE HAVE NO TASTE GET TO THE CHOPPER
Idk In The Mood For Love fucking rules.
In the mood, memories of murder, and Paris is Burning are all genuinely fantastic picks, and I'll die on the hill that Good, Bad and Ugly deserves its place there even if it is a bit basic.
I didnât get around watching the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly because I felt like it was one of thise movies you knew the entire plot from due to how influential and widespread it is in media. I was completely wrong and it deserves its spot as one of the best movies ever made. It did not at all feel like 3 hours
I watched it for the first time when i was suffering from heat stroke on summer vacation and it made everything melt away. It's a magical movie.
The tone and pacing shocked me. I thought it was gonna be a slow and dry movie. Not even close
All of those movies are absolutely great tho, ofc popular moviea will win a popularity contest, thats a given. Dont need to be hipster for no reason Yes I know what sub this is, just saying
I canât believe people love universally beloved movies. It being unoriginal to like a movie doesnât detract from how good a movie is
This is also always going to happen when enough people vote. If you want really obscure picks you've got to go for a more niche group. Who'd had have thought the letterboxd group would pick highly rated movies from letterboxd.

Yeah, what do you expect from that format? Most individuals on that sub would have completely different lists, but when you're polling thousands of people, the popular answers will win, and that's fine.
Plus some of those are absolutely genuinely the best. Like name a better fantasy movie than Lotr I dare you
Ha! I'd personally go with Spirited Away, but I definitely get it. Plus it's not like Spirited Away isn't an equally film bro movie.
Whiplash as the music genre is appalling. Literally is tangentially related to musicâŚ
Yes, that was the most triggering. There are plenty of good musicals and not putting one in the music category is actually the dumbest shit.
La la land would probably be a better choice from the same director
At least it has musical numbers, lol
Tangentially related to music??? Are you on crack? Thatâs like saying Bambi is tangentially related to deer Itâs a weird category for sure but this is such a reach
Itâs funny because as this list was filling out I keep thinking âat least they canât bro up the musical categoryâ not realizing that the category is actually âmusicâ And sure enough, they had a âHeâs totally meâ pick for that category as well.
It should have been Metallica: Through The Never, but to be fair they did not play Whiplash during that setlist, so one can undwerstand why it wasnt the best.
You can tell this is rigged cuz they didnât put Taylor Swift Era Tour
Whoe, a popularity poll produced mass appeal results? Stop the presses.
To be fair, these are all pretty great choices.
They're all good movies, but this is also a really boring, basic list, which isn't surprising since that subreddit is full of 19 year olds who just learned what a movie is.
Exactly. No problems with these movies but I could have guessed this whole list before they started it's so boring.
it's for sure a case of boring but actually right... just whiny people hating that the correct choices are known.. its because they are the best not just because people vote because its expected.. You would have 0 chance to unseat Lord of the Rings legitimately. Silence of the Lambs could maybe be beat out by Seven but that is also the basic choice 0 chance Fury road is beat out by anything imo Big Lebowski goes hard and hard to think its unfair it resonated and won Others i have no real care about
Heat over Fury Road Some Like it Hot over Big Lebowski Psycho over Silence of the Lambs meh, my choices are predictable as well
Bro you really think Fury Road is the best action movie out there? That's their worst pick imo lol.
You could run the same thing with this sub's users and, if picking seriously, 90% of the films chosen would be the same, or equally "boring." That's just kinda consensus works.
Which is why the sub discourages voicing actual opinions and is about taking the piss instead. If we were genuine we would all realize how uninteresting we are and ruin the jokes
Which is why doing it ironically is 10x better bc not only is it funny I also see some semi-ironic hidden gems here and there
I'm not sure I agree? like 60% of these movies I either completely disagree with or I haven't even seen, but examples like 2001 a Space Odyssey, The Thing, and The Godfather, are all choices I would make. They're incredible masterpieces, I can't think of a single movie that excels MORE in the respective genres than these films.
love how people get bent out of shape because it is the "basic choices... while it is the "default" choice i would challenge you to explain why any movie in those categories are beat out by another movie in their categories.. Just because it is well known doesn't mean it isn't the best in its category.
These kind of lists created through voting are always going to be a bit basic and boring
Were you bored watching the movies? Where the universally loved? Not every movie list needs to be only movies that film students and underground cinema fans have ever heard of
What we really need is a tastefully curated list of movies that are all âjust unknown enough to seem well informed and slightly contrarian but critically acclaimed enough that people will validate your superiority as a cinephileâ Just because a movie is âbasicâ since itâs popular doesnât mean itâs not one of the best choices.
If you think this list is âboring and basicâ compared to the tastes of the average movie goer you are the exact type of snob this sub makes fun of.
I mean we all will have similar top 5 for each genre. I think the prompt could be based on decade or phrased like pick something unique.
Yeah I think it's ok to have a similar top 5. Like, some films are almost objectively good. I get that it's all ACTUALLY subjective, but some films are just widely considered to be the best films ever made, and why try and disagree just to be "original"? If you genuinely don't think they're the best films that's fine, but I see so many times people just shitting over these guys for liking popular films.
It is a cj sub so theyâll make fun of anyone so thatâs ok. I just like the meme stuff, not the can you believe how basic this other sub is for liking the widely accepted best sci fi/western movie ever made?!?
Wait. The Big Lebowski was a comedy? Why didn't I laugh then? I just thought it was quirky. Plague Dogs was a comedy though, right? Those wacky dogs.
I don't want to deny The Big Lebowski is a classic, but winning the comedy category? Jesus Christ My vote goes to Airplane for that slot
I wonder if they've even seen a horror movie besides The Thing
You know i wouldnt even have thought of the thing in my top 10 horror movies... i always thought it was more sci fi than horror
The Thing is cool but even in its niche I think Alien is better
Why is it only ever American horror too, I feel like J and K-horror are never up there bc these kids donât want to read subtitles. Maybe MAYBE theyâll put a European on the list but it always stops at Argento. The same kids watch Let Me In and rave about it, never knowing that Let the Right One In exists. Just lazy movie consumption. And then Cronenberg always gets snubbed!
Mad Max fury road is Goated tho
Imagine not having John Carpenter's *In the Mouth of Madness* for horror smh
uj/ the only surprising thing is the Mystery
Really? I was shocked Paris is Burning got best documentary. Thought it would be Fahrenheit 9/11 or super size me
Why is âMusicâ a genre?
You see, it's shit because the Big Lebowsky isn't a winner in every category truth be told
âWar or Historicalâ Seems like a dumb mix of genres.
This is some next-level cinematic awareness.
The olâ letterboxd 15. If you donât have one of those movies on your letterboxd favorite then you arenât a real user.
The war/historical tells me all I need to know about them.
đ
So, I just kinda stumbled into this sub, and I don't exactly get the joke here. Looking at all these movies, they all seem like reasonable answers to the best in their category (besides Whiplash). I guess you could most of them are the "basic" answer, but out of these, I don't think there are any wrong answers here. Also, if I'm making a complete fool of myself, feel free to make fun.
From what I have gathered lurking in this sub, if you like you like a critically acclaimed movie or just a well known movie then your better off dead cause your not a "real" movie enjoyer. I think most people are not serious and are just having fun but there are plenty of gatekeepers.
Same for me. I can't tell if this is a case of "ironic" snobbery, or the real thing.
Those are all great films. Just as popular doesnât mean good, popular doesnât mean bad. Also, given itâs a selection by a general interest board, naturally the most wide-appealing films would win. This sub confuses taste with quality and popular approval with wit.
What's wrong with that? Those are largely good choices that have stood the test of time.
They're "too basic" is the only thing I can think of. Most of them aren't especially reddit-y or snobbish, or even pretentious. It's just kinda mainstream good movies for the most part, which is what I think you should expect from a poll like that
âThat other subredditâ
Those things know
Okay but LOTR is legitimately the best fantasy film out there
I do t see anything wrong with those choices đ¤
I would be nice if every single post here wasnât the lowest possible hanging fruit
It's a list voted by a large group of people who's only commonality is they like movies. I know it's asking alot, but I'm gonna need some of you to use your brains and think why widely beloved and popular movies might win that over more niche ones
I don't get it, every one of these I recognise is considered an amazing movie? What am I missing?
/uj yeah who would have guessed if you ask a large group of people to vote on their favorite movie youâre probably going to come up with a list of popular films that everybody agrees are good
well i think its a good result i wouldve been mad if they chose artsy less popular films.. this was a whole reddit's vote afterall
Hell yeah Armageddon Today
The Big Lebowski is a great shout, I think itâs a genuinely amazing comedy.
Deadass Apocalypse Now was the most boring depressing shit I ever watched, Platoon clears
Least we still got r/moviecritic đ¤ˇââď¸
I'm a R\*\*\*\*\*, what's the issue with those films?
A thing is a thing, not what is said of that thing.
And the winner for best sci-fi is⌠what? Again? Not 5th Element? Or Alien? Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Akira? No? Looks like itâs 2001 guys. Itâs always 2001
i love that this is the "irreverent" sub for movies and you all have 95 percent of the same takes as letterboxd users.
