I’ll go first. For me, it’s Across The Spider-Verse. The excellent score and soundtrack is just a bonus.
Dune. While there’s no way to perfectly capture the magic of the intricate machinations of (Frank) Herbert’s universe, the movie gets about as close as anyone could, I think. The only thing in its league is Jackson’s LOTR trilogy, and I think Dune is at least as good if not slightly better. Can’t wait for the second (and hopefully third!) one!
I loved the movie, but I feel like they didn’t include enough Dr. Yueh. I also feel like they could have ended the movie a few scenes earlier.
This tread has been a moment of personal discovery. In trying to imagine what movie I’ve seen this month I realized I haven’t seen a movie yet this year - unless you count standup specials which live in the movie section of Plex. I’m like 80% sure the last movie I watched was the Bob’s Burgers Movie. What happened to me?!
I… have not seen any movies this month actually. Definitely want to check out Spiderman though and Asteroid City looks like it might be fun too.
Asteroid city looks awesome, let us know how it is of you catch it
Definitely Spiderverse. It was almost too fast moving at times, but fantastic story telling and, of course, art design.
The Mario movie was way better than I expected tbh
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I just shared it with my kids. But we’re godly seeing across the spiderverse tonight, so that might change.
This is my all-time favorite. One of my favorite memories of this movie was — when I showed it to a way less idealistic friend of mine, he felt so sad when the last of the memories is being removed. I did not expect him to do that let alone like the movie.
Definitely Across the spider verse, 9/10 best movie of the year so far, but can’t wait to watch Past Lives
Extraction 2, but there wasn’t much competition because I only saw 2 movies this month.

Edge of tomorrow. Really hoping for a sequel including Emily Blunt.
Isn’t it too late for a sequel?
Why? Top gun got a sequel after nearly forty years.
Across the Spidervetse was incredible
Ikr?!
man across the spiderverse is the only movie i’ve watched this month
Usually not my cup of tea, I watched an Indian movie, two of them actually: Bahubali and Bahubali 2. Yes, it’s cliché and cheesy but all in a very fun and spectacular way.
It’s basically life-action anime but with more musical and dancing bits.
The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). I knew nothing going in and just enjoyed. It was modern and thought-provoking about war and what we owe our veterans. The coolest part is that it asks the tough questions about a war that few of us question as being necessary (World War II).
Across the Spiderverse was absolutely amazing too but I expected that and it surpassed my expectations.
Upgrade. I freaking love that movie even for how dark it is.
Apocalypse Now. Watched it in an airplane so wasn’t as good of an experience as it should have been, but it was an incredible movie regardless. My favorite Vietnam movie definitely
