Are these movies some of my all-time favorites now? I'm not sure I've enjoyed any other movies more in the last ten years. I find myself reflecting on that -- "enjoy." I don't really enjoy a lot of these movies I watch. I enjoyed Harry Potter, and I'd enjoy it again, mindlessly or attentively. It's fun and interesting. Most movies are neither, precious few are both. Harry Potter is one of the few movies since college that has felt personal to me. Like part of me. I guess it helps I watched it with someone, and rewatched it with them. Made a night of it each time. Nevertheless, there's really something substantial about how much better the Harry Potter movies are, certainly better for me, than almost everything else I'm seeing. And I don't even have the nostalgia factor.
Harry Potter and Dune were some of my better cinematic experiences in recent years. L'Avventura, Breathless, Aguirre,... those were some of my worst. I guess I'm not an art film goer anymore??
