The Emperor’s New Groove (REWATCH) - Entertaining and very funny, one of the closest things Disney made to capturing that anarchic Looney Tunes energy. I sometimes wish we'd gotten to see the serious epic they had planned originally before they ended up making this, but I love this anyway
Midnight in Paris - Excellent, one of Allen's best, magical yet grounded, I liked the conclusion that the film reaches about nostalgia and golden ages
The Mask of Zorro (REWATCH) - A modern classic, riveting and romantic with the epic feel of the best older action-adventure swordplay films and great chemistry between Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. I watched this a lot when I was younger but hadn't seen it in over 10 years and I'm glad I revisited it it holds up extremely well
The Beatles “A Hard Day’s Night” (REWATCH) - A fun, energetic comedy starring the fab four and also the grandad from Steptoe and Son, I don't know how this would play to someone who really really hates the Beatles but as someone who likes their music but isn't a fanatical devotee, and is aware of their rather checkered personal lives/history, I do think it's a charming, enjoyable film and I can see how it would have been refreshing when it came out as it was a fairly new style of cinema back then. I also enjoyed the moments that satirize the trendsetting aspect of popular culture, made me think of Josie and the Pussycats
50/50 - I'll admit I somewhat dragged my heels on watching this one in case it was either not very good or so unbearably depressing it would cause my mental health to decline for an extended period buuuut... it's actually good and not too depressing. Because my diabetes puts me at an elevated risk of cancer, I sometimes worry about getting it, but this film helped me with that a bit, and I think helped me grow my empathy and compassion. I liked how it was more raw and realistic than a lot of Hollywood films and I will likely rewatch it at some point
I'm also still watching the 2011 Hunter X Hunter series English dubbed, just started the Greed Island arc
