Yay for another Arrival appreciation.What about The Blues Brothers' car chase though??

Assuming you concentrate very hard for the first three viewings, anyway.
Primer - I enjoyed it after a fashion but it left me with a feeling that I was either stupid and unworthy of its brilliance, or it was just an interesting tale but poorly told. Frankly, in retrospect, I suspect if a film needs three viewings to make sense, it isn't "clever", it's incoherent. Incidentally, an interesting timetravel film I enjoyed is "Timecrimes" - a Spanish effort.
In Primer's defence, I think it makes you work for it. There are plenty of twisty films you watch and think differently the second time you watch them, but the majority are those are of the "omg, why didn't I spot that" one twist wonder ilk, like the sixth sense. Primer is much harder to fully figure out, but I don't think that's a bad thing.
Hold on, are you saying Spy Kids is superior to From Dusk Till Dawn?
I'm a bit behind as it's 5 years old, but saw Drive last night...one of those films you regret it ending as so good Went straight into my top ten films ever.
We watched Moonlight on Sunday afternoon, ahead of the Oscars debacle. Exactly the kind of film making I love (just like the books I love too, in fact): rooted in the everyday, full of detail, resisting sensationalism or neat endings/messages. Beautiful to watch as well. A worthy winner.
best new film I've seen since Rouge One.
