Hoping you get to see Godzilla Minus One someday! Contracting issues have made it difficult to get out there to many countries, but once it hits streaming, I'd love to see your thoughts on it. It could be an oscar contender for best Foreign Film except for the fact Japan has already nominated something else :( But maybe they'll nominate another!

If you’ll forgive me the long message, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for your content over the years, I’ve watched you since the first video as like stories of old, you’ve given me, a disillusioned guy with a film studies degree renewed appreciation for the art of reading media, and delving deeply in a world, where I often get laughed at for overthinking the themes, motifs and specifics of production that affect the outcome and how people read film And by extension how we philosophies about what we consume. This was one of the most thoughtful lists of films that I have ever come across, and it’s only fitting that it came from you I truly look forward to what you have planned in the coming year and beyond. Even though neither of us has any idea of who the other person is, I at least know that there is a kindred spirit who loves doing this, sharing these ideas, and talking about the things that impact us, as much as I do. Congratulations on your recent marriage, enjoy your honeymoon, and I wish you all the best! Happy holidays, unknown friend

Went in blind on The Holdovers for a last-minute date night where we just picked the movie based on whatever fit after our busy work day and I can't even express how much it blew me away with how emotional I felt. My heart was aching for all 3 main characters in different ways and just the way the movie conveys the critical need for human connection to change and grow really was just so powerful, all packaged in a warm, familiar "Dead Poets Society" tone and feeling. So happy it hit yours and others top 10 of the year!

Yes, The Holdovers is a movie that has also "stayed with me" for days and days after viewing. Superb pitch-perfect performances, and I love how everything doesn't tie up neatly in a bow Hollywood-style. The film feels like a slice of real life. Will be shocked if Giamatti isn't nominated for best actor. While Cillian Murphy is the obvious (deserved) front runner for Best Actor Oscar, I wouldn't be mad if dark horse Giamatti walked away with the prize. He crafted an extremely memorable character.

@@goldenfire5 We feel the final scene of “The Quiet Girl” so deeply because of the way the director, Colm Bairéad, holds the characters’ emotions in check up until that moment of the film. When Cáit and the Kinsellas are having their last breakfast together at the farm that morning, the heartache hanging over the scene is almost palpable. But Seán and Eibhlín only exchange glances with each other over Cáit’s head and make small talk about whether the potatoes are cooked or not. They refuse to acknowledge openly what Cáit must be feeling, for they’re struggling with their own internal defences as they anticipate the grief they’ll feel once she’s gone from their lives. Before we know it, Cáit, Seán, and Eibhlín are getting into the car and driving down the laneway to take Cáit home. We feel a lump in our throat as Cáit looks silently out the rear window of the car at the happiness she’s leaving behind. Later on, Cáit tells Seán and Eibhlín the story of how her father lost one of their heifers in a gambling bet, and how her mother didn’t speak to him for a month. It’s a reminder of the toxic family life waiting for Cáit at home. Finally, we arrive at our destination. Cáit’s mother, Mary, seems happier to see her cousin Eibhlín and Seán than she does her own daughter. Nevertheless, we hope that when the group sits down together around the kitchen table over a cup of tea, there will be an opening to discuss the possibility of Cáit having further visits with the Kinsellas. This hope is dashed, however, when Cáit’s father, Dan, arrives home in a truculent mood, fresh from having had “a liquid supper”, as he calls it. Sensing Dan wants them gone, Seán tells Eibhlín it’s time to hit the road. We can see that Cáit is heartsick now that her last few minutes with Seán and Eibhlín are ticking away. Outside in the yard, Eibhlín and Seán each give Cáit an affectionate but brief arm’s length goodbye. Then they’re in their car and driving down the laneway. Our emotions well up to the breaking point as we see Cáit watching the Kinsellas drive away. Surely, we think, this can’t be how the story ends. Then Cáit seizes the initiative to burst through the emotional constraints that have kept her and the Kinsellas from saying how they truly feel about each other. She runs off down the lane after the Kinsellas’ car, hoping to catch them before they leave, while memories of the past summer with Seán and Eibhlín flash through her mind. She leaps into Seán’s arms, calling him “Daddy”, and again, more softly, “Daddy”, leaving us with mingled feelings of relief and sorrow, but not without a touch of hope. “She says no more than she needs to say,” Seán once said of Cáit. With her economy of speech, Cáit has chosen to call Seán by the one word that sums up everything she thinks and feels about him, of what she holds their relationship to be, along with all the implications and consequences for both of them, now and into the future, flowing from her sudden, loving declaration.

I really couldn't connect with Oppenheimer, but your description of your first versus repeat viewings is the exact motivation I needed to give it a second shot. Thanks for that.

Oppenheimer is the first film by Nolan that I felt that I didn't HAVE to "read", to use your expression, and thus was a richer, more fulfilling experience for me than his previous work. I really enjoy your content. Thank you. Enjoy your honeymoon!

I wasn't even 4 minutes into your video before I was like "Yup I'm subscribing!". I really loved this. It's not just that I really like your list of movies, it's also your delivery and explanation of why they were just great films. I feel like the culture I live in has overwhelmingly given up on good story telling, but this is for sure an inspiring reminder that there are still amazing storytellers out there. Also, CONGRATS on your honeymoon. I hope you had a wonderful trip.

Thank you for your views on those movies. Your kind and soft demeanor always makes me a better person for a little while anyways. Two or three films I don’t know yet and will check out soon as possible. I would like to recommend two films I have seen by pure luck this year: RODEO by Lola Quivoron and EN PLEIN FEU by Quentin Reynaud

Please oh please do a video on Godzilla Minus one! It's low budget and international success really represents something special happening in Cinema and in the Godzilla franchise. What a beautiful story as well! Definitely material there.

Thanks for this. 2023 proved that people want more than just superhero movies. This summer was dominated by two movies that had nothing to do with Marvel or DC.

Great list, and absolutely agreed about THE KILLER. I would add that it's incredibly refreshing to see a film that is neither a puzzle to be cracked nor a statement to be recieved, but rather something that, in chewing on what it might mean, allows me to discover my own feelings.

I felt that way about The Boy and the Heron. People were pointing out technical flaws, but I don't think the movie was trying to present itself with a firm structure. It was just creating scenes to evoke emotions and say something.

@@rawfoodphilosophy7061 it probably won’t help you like the movie much better, but the gag is that it’s about a guy who imagines he’s a special genius, but who is actually an everyday dumbass; pretty good at his job, but not really great, constantly making excuses for his actions without really understanding what motivates him.. He has loads of advice, philosophical quotes, and so-called rules…all of which he fails to follow, and spends most of his time cleaning up after his own mistakes, while judging everyone around him harshly - like, say, most all of us do on social media. The movie is a comedy about the stories we tell ourselves about our lives vs the objective reality. We all like imagine we’re special outsiders, but we’re really one of the many - like anyone. That’s my take. But like I said, if it doesn’t work for you, all good. There are a lot of great KZread breakdowns of it, though, and who knows, if you see it again, maybe it will strike you funny.

Thank you ! I have seen so many movies in movie theaters this year which brought me so much joy. I cannot wait to hear about the movies that created an impression. Thank you so much for your beautiful channel, and congratulations to both of you on the wedding and honeymoon.

Very poetic and thoughtful as always. As I haven't seen even half of these your words seem like a mystery only to be revealed when I watch the movies myself, and I can't wait to do so. Great stuff!

I really appreciate the way you talk about these movies such a gentle approach. You make me want to check out movies that I might miss otherwise thank you for the time and effort that it takes to produce this video

I loved Anatomy of a Fall. Stays with you for days.

Some things I found great about The Killer were the ways the killer improvised for his goals. The recycling bin scene is great, but as was discarding the rifle parts, and finally his haphazard and comical entry into the gym and client suite. It's extremely insular to his perspective making teasing out his motivations difficult; the girlfriend relationship and motivation felt a bit hollow but that seems deliberate - it isn't so much love or human connection he is concerned with and moreso annoyance at his personal life and free time being intruded upon. No grand sweeping romantic ending or displays of affection, dude just wants to chill on the patio

A Godzilla movie, as with any giant monster movie, can indeed be an important drama for how overwhelming destruction can influence the human condition. Thank you very much, Tom. Enjoy your honeymoon and Christmas. 🎄

Eight mountains blew me away, thank you.. I could relate to the story at many aspects and there's so much good about it that I don't have enough space here to actually talk about it haha, thank you so much.

Amazing to see The Killer being appreciated. Edit: he didn’t come out on top. Tilda’s role was supposed to be one of the most important ones. Her speech about deliberately being oblivious to the inevitable terrible death ahead of people who have such a “job” as they do is supposed to reflect the anguish that awaits him. There’s even a subtle clock sound in the end, as “your time is coming”. Reminds me of that amazing Shakespeare’s quote used in Westworld “these violent delights have violent ends”.

Thank you Tom for your time and effort that these things take to ruminate, research, film and edit.

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is a young adult novel by Judy Blume that I remember hearing about when I was in high school in the early seventies. I'm glad to hear that someone managed to make a good adaptation of it.

I'm excited about your upcoming project. I recently watched The Story of Film by Mark Cousins. While I loved it, I kept thinking "I wish Tom van der Linden would make something like this."
