From an acting perspective, Scenes from a Marriage is particularly mind-blowing.

Fanny and AlexanderOther Ingmar Bergman
I watch Fanny and Alexander every year. There’s obviously some dark stuff in it, but it’s a great comfort movie to me.

La CiénagaOther Lucrecia Martel
La Ciénaga is beautiful and fun to watch because the world Martel builds is so realistic, it’s almost like you’re a fly on the wall spending time with this family in a country home in Argentina.

8½Other Federico Fellini
Maybe this is an unoriginal choice, but this film never gets old. Plus, I just spent five months in Italy, so the country is fresh on my mind. I shot a movie and season two of The White Lotus there, and I thought a lot about Fellini because, at times, we were somewhat close to Cinecittà. 8½ captures the magic and insanity of making movies—and there’s nothing I love more.

Mikey and NickyOther Elaine May
With Mikey and Nicky, I just love to imagine her directing these big guys and how much fun they must’ve had. It’s cool as shit.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.
The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.
A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.
What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:
Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
