I would just like to start this out by saying I've seen 551 new-to-me films as of the writing of this, so narrowing down my favorite discoveries from such a large number was really hard. This is in chronological order of when I watched them in the year.
Punkrocking Diane Lane expressing female teenage angst in a post-feminist world. Hallelujah.
Possibly my favorite new-to-me movie of the entire year. It's a one crazy night film with fun-loving early-twenties ladies, who learn a thing or two about themselves while getting in and out of the kind of hijinks that can only happen in1980s Los Angeles.
Speaking of 1980s Los Angeles, I feel like no one has seen this gem but me. Part lipstick feminism, part Hollywood satire, 100% awesome.
Somehow hadn't seen this before. Boy was I missing out. Probably my favorite Tarantino film. Robert Forster <3
Burt. Freaking. Lancaster. This was the film I was most looking forward to during TCMFF this year and it wound up being my favorite as well.
Paulette Goddard and Fred MacMurray at their absolute best. Interesting entry on the post-war, coming home genre, but what happens when it's the wife that's coming home. Was lucky enough to see this at both TCMFF and Cinecon.
Joan Crawford is flawless.
See above.
I don't know how I hadn't seen this earlier. Touching and raw and beautiful.
Lili Taylor shoulda got an Oscar nomination for her stunning performance in this film.
Caught up on my Whit Stillman sad yuppies in love trilogy. Loved it.
80s hijinks romance meets ridiculous monster movie meets serial killer thriller. What else do you need?
Everything I love about the movies and music boiled down to a perfect 92 minutes.
A flawed, but brilliant epic masterpiece.
