I would move EO and Saint Omer to the top of your list. EO is a very good film, not perfect, but worthy of the 15 film international shot list if not the top 5 (in my opinion). Saint Omer is a masterpiece, and along with Aftersun and Tar and Everything Everywhere All at Once and All the Beauty and the Bloodshed among the best films of the year, in my opinion.

Thanks for that tip Michael. I have tried twice to see EO but I have had a few challenges. Both are definitely at the top. The list was in alphabetical order.

Goodnight Oppy is a love letter to long-term collaboration that helps us see from new perspectives--remind you of anything else? You’ll love it.

And yes--a sort of golden age of content + our own limited time; it’s a human problem I’m glad to have.

I don't know whether you've seen The Wonder, but it's so overlooked in everyone's consciousness, at least the everyone to whom I've spoken. Such a great, haunting film. And yeah, the sheer number of movies I must must see right now is staggering.

Yes, I really liked it.. I think if it had come out in theaters exclusively and perhaps at a different time of year, it would have worked much better. It requires a little patience and focus, and totally earns that, but that's harder to deliver in a home environment.
