animated movies i think everyone should watch at least once in their life

1) into/ across the spiderverse

so beautiful. amazing story, full of emotion and color. very cool mixed animation style, combining 2D and 3D. insane use of color theory, and full of detail and depth. 11/10.

(netflix)

2) isle of dogs

another beautiful movie, obvs because it’s wes anderson. stop-motion. very emotional and funny at the same time. i legit cried.

(disney plus)

3) coraline

amazing movie. absolutely chilling. the mix of analog horror and horrific implications are amazing. another stopmotion.

(amazon prime, but i think you have to rent it)

4) puss in boots: the last wish

listen. you don’t have to watch any other puss in boots movies to like this one. you don’t even need to like puss in boots. another 2D and 3D animation mix, and it’s gorgeous. hilarious, and very, very good depictions of a lot of things (no spoilers). plenty of adult jokes packed in, too.

(netflix)

5) the house

honestly horrifying. three different storylines. very unclear ending and uncomfy all the way through. absolutely recommend, especially if you like don’t hug me, i’m scared. implications and deeper meaning in everything.

(netflix)

6) the how to train your dragon franchise

some of my favorite movies of all time, and my intro to fandom culture lol. gorgeous, hilarious, emotionally charged. look at that background art.

(peacock)

feel free to add on!

Hello! I adore your blog, thank you so much for all the posts you have done! I’m a visual learner so I was wondering if you can recommend me some films or tv shows that have powerful role women or femme fatale main characters? For example, I love watching the Addams Family because Morticia gives me that vibes too, but I want to watch more than just one movie. Thank you, darling! ❤️

Hi love! I would say the protagonists in the following movies:

Gilda/The Lady from Shanghai

Fatal Attraction

The Last Seduction/Dangerous Liaisons

Basic Instinct

Body Heat

Double Indemnity

Hope this helps xx

I’ve only seen about 75% of these films personally. And yes, I know this list is very Westernized – I’m working on it.

YEAH I’LL SAY IT

…

I don’t think there’s enough fanfiction for the princess bride, if you haven’t seen it, go watch. If you like action/romance/adventure/comedy movies go watch. You like hot actors in period clothing? Go watch.

Movie recommendations that are similar to the outsiders? 🤔

Hmmmm... Not really similar to the Outsiders but I watched 'Gone With the Wind' last night and had to think of the Outsiders a lot. Maybe 'West Side Story' is one to recommend that picks up a similar topic but it is a musical.

youtube

American Graffiti (Haven't watched that in a while but great soundtrack and plays in the 60s)

youtube

And I know there's a movie to 'that was then, this is now' which basically plays in the same area as the Outsiders but a year or so later but I haven't watched the movie yet or finished the book so I don't know if it's similar or to recommend. I'll add to the list if I remember something else! =)

(Grease and Grease 2... also musicals and entirely different story, but has Greasers! XD)

Dead Poet’s Society

John Keating changes a group of boys lives when he starts teaching English at their school - Dalton Academy. In a pursuit of teaching the boys to be free thinkers and to live their lives to the fullest, he causes them to reignite an old group he was in when he was at Dalton Academy: The Dead Poet's Society.

However, on the way she gets pulled into an exhilarating adventure, filled with just the right amount of mystery.

Kill Your Darlings

The Imitation Game

Based on true events, The Imitation Game is a wonderfully acted and beautifully directed film that tells the life story of Alan Turing - the man who invented the machine that cracked the Enigma code during World War II.

Educating Rita

However, when Rita (Susan) decides that isn't enough for her, she enrolls in a college, in pursuit of knowledge, leaving the mundane life she led behind her, and entering the world of academia.

Little Women

Little Women relates the story of the March sisters (Amy, Jo, Meg and Beth) - four young women each with different passions and different ideas of how they wish to live life, as they pass from childhood to adulthood.

So next week I’m gonna have a lot of free time to myself, and one thing I am known for is the lack of movies I’ve seen

I would love some movie recs! I really like horror but I’m pretty open to any movies besides war movies and super hero movies, just not my thing

Let me know if you have any I should watch! I should have access to most if not all streaming platforms

Fourth movie recc list for pride month~ time for some japanese cinema~

I think this section has the most tonally diverse offering. Take your pick, but these are my favourites.

+DOUBLE MINTS (Dir. Eiji Uchida, 2017. 100 minutes)

Double Mints follows two ex-classmates (and enemies. and now accomplices, technically) as a phone call throws both of their lives into a nosedive. Cue burying dead bodies together and beating each other up, romantically, of course. This movie is A Lot. If you’re looking for “good gay rep” or whatever, this is not it. In a word, this movie feels very Grimy. It covers dark themes and destructive obsession and control, but if that’s as up your alley as it is mine then this movie is a Good Time. Visually it isn’t as explosive as some others on this list but it definitely has its moments. This is an adaptation from a manga, written by the same woman that wrote Doukyuusei (which is an Insane tonal shift from this series, and I for one commend her range). Warnings for extreme violence of every kind. Happy ending (I’m using the word loosely).

ALTERNATE CHOICES

+HIS (Dir. Rikiyama Imaizumi, 2020. 127 minutes)

Aaaaah, this movie. Most definitely the movie that falls closest to what people picture when someone says “a movie About Gay People”, but it’s one of the good ones. Adults being adults and trying to navigate their lives and trying not to hurt each other or their children along the way. The ending feels like a warm hug.

+CHERRY MAGIC (Live action adaptation, 2020. 12 episodes)

Please don't be put off by the full title lol. Office romance with a magic twist. Cute. Cute Cute Cute. Sugary sweet cute, and kind of warm milk compared to other stuff on this list, but I think it’s good that we get to have shows that are just cutesy romance along with the serious stuff too. Like seriously. So cute. I DO wish we’d gotten a kiss at least, though. Very much a happy ending.

HONORABLE MENTIONS-

+TO EACH HIS OWN (Dir. Izuru Narushima, 2017. 117minutes)

Again, kind of cheating as this movie doesn’t explicitly touch on lgbtq+ themes, but like The Vibes are there. It’s just a weird, delightful, quiet little movie. It just feels so Hopeful. It’s my list and i’m putting it here. One of my all-time favourites.

ANIMATED

A special section as I CANNOT move on without mentioning these two-

Oniisama e (1991)/ Kaze To Ki No Uta (1987)

Originally written by Riyoko Ikeda and Keiko Takemiya respectively, these are THE shining stars among the year 24 group mangas (and later animated series) in my opinion. Boarding school drama is synonymous with 90s shoujo and boy is there A Lot to unpack in terms of sexuality and gender in both of these pieces. They are products of their time and there’s certain aspects that I imagine wouldn’t fly in today’s era, but they’re fantastic pieces of art that have touched me deeply and are ingrained in my personality forever lol. Thematically, Kaze To Ki No Uta is a little bit heavier but both will leave you with a very very deep feeling of sadness in their own unique way. I won’t even start on the animation style, there is NOTHING better than 90’s shoujo. So sparkly. So many roses and tears. Honorable mention is Rose of Versailles (1979), however i’ve never finished it in full so i cant really put it on here.

Hey hope you're well. Do you have any book recs with female characters reinventing themselves, or coming back stronger? Something along those lines, ifykwim.

Also movie recs, if you can.

Have a good day.

Hi love!

Books that come to mind:

Untamed by Glennon Doyle

City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert

The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

Educated by Tara Westover

Wild by Cheryl Strayed

Movies that come to mind:

The Devil Wears Prada (also a book but I just love Meryl Streep in the movie too much to not recommend this one!)

Legally Blonde (another classic everyone should be able to reference off-hand!)

The First Wives Club

P.S. I Love You

Easy A

Bridesmaids

** Firefly Lane is a great Netflix show in a similar genre

Hope this helps xx
