Inspired by The AV Club article "What does your favorite movie for every year since you were born say about you?", I made my list of my favorite films for every year since I was born.

These are favorites which is not always what I would consider to be the "best" film of a particular year (although some are). These are the films that I enjoy seeing again whether they made me laugh, thrilled and surprised me, warmed my heart, or if they have a strong connection with memories of my husband.

All the horror and horror-ish movies I watched in October 2023.

"Oh...she's ambitious."

So maybe I went a little overboard this year, but the second ever CubAvenger Shocktoberfest—a meticulously planned event involving spreadsheets, time calculators, and more than a few streaming services and video sources—was a resounding success. A majority of these were first time watches.

Early Cronenberg, early Stephen King adaptations, Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet Of Curiosities, giallo out the wazoo, animal attacks, sci-fi horror, hauntings, psychic disturbances, disturbed psychics, Polanski's Apartment Isolation Trilogy, three excellent Mike Flanagan series, all ten Saw movies, the first four of Romero's Living Dead movies, a Final Destination series watch, two Halloween trilogies, some amazing horror comedies, and the inexplicable Lovecraftian horror of The Paul Lynde Halloween Special.

Best of the first time watches:

LEGIT GOOD:
Alone
Oxygen (though, spoilers, not really a horror movie)
Torso
Saw X (still in shock that this was good)
The Blackening
Brooklyn 45
Perfect Blue
Dawn Of The Dead (1978)
The Haunting Of Hill House
The Haunting Of Bly Manor
The Fall Of The House Of Usher

CAMP/SO BAD THEY'RE GOOD/WTF AM I WATCHING:
StageFright
Uninvited
Ma (*cue "September"*)
The Visitor
Pieces ("Bastaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard!")
Black Roses
Night Of The Demons
The Paul Lynde Halloween Special

And what I'm calling the "How's Your Head" trilogy (iykyk):
Death Drop Gorgeous
Brain Damage
Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark

All the horror and horror-ish movies I watched in October 2022.

A full Halloween series run (with the exception of a movie that allegedly exists that retcons the perfect ending of H20 and allegedly involves a hip hop artist using martial arts in an undignified fashion on Mr. Myers), giallo classics, gore classics, completion of my 80s/90s Hitchcockian thriller run (only some included here based on blood/gore levels and intent), some 70s and 80s classics I had never seen, and the rather incredible run of competent to exceptional horror movies from this year.

Some real highs and some real lows.

The best for me have one or more of the following:
-strong stories
-well-executed twists
-good/great performances
-well-orchestrated suspense sequences
-well-written believable characters to root for
-laughs to go along with the scares
-absurdity or camp

Not a gorehound, but well-executed gore in service of any of the above gets a .

Best of the newly discovered:
Cronenberg's The Fly
Blood And Black Lace
Dario Argento's Opera
Barbarian
Ken Russell's The Devils
1974's Black Christmas (this has been remade twice in the last 10 years?! smh)
Demons and Demons 2
The Descent

GenZ horror comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies
The Changeling
The new Halloween trilogy (the whole thing ultimately worked for me)
The Marti Noxon-penned remake of Fright Night

In honor of Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (our cat's favorite movie ever) taking the #1 spot on the most recent Sight & Sound poll of the greatest films of all time, our cat, Jaina, would like for me to reveal that she voted and here's the rest of her ballot.

She is chief executive officer of Feline Film Forum and head critic at the Chicago Cat Critics Circle. She is an avid TCM watcher and regular viewer of MUBI, The Criterion Channel, and the films on her daddies' impeccably curated Plex server.

In her spare time, she enjoys naps, boxes, chattering at birds, eating, and keeping her human on a schedule.

  • Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles

    Peak observational cinema. I, too, carefully observe a widowed parent with cleaning rituals go about their day. Never seen a more accurate representation. Except for the end part.

  • Twin Peaks: The Return

    My daddy watched this in two 9-hour sittings and his lap was available the whole time with no interruptions.

  • Kedi

    Gotta rep my home town and my people!

  • Born Free

    Though I will never know the joys of motherhood—or freedom—I live vicariously through Elsa. Her humans were good people.

  • La Dolce Vita

    I want Anita Ekberg to pick me up, snuggle me, and let me ride on her head.

  • Bringing Up Baby

    Baby is AMAZING in the titular role. Also, this movie makes my daddy very happy which is a rarity these days.

  • Inside Llewyn Davis

    Ulysses is a KING! Oscar Isaac, if you're reading this, I'd love to go on tour with you sometime!

  • A Street Cat Named Bob

    RIP Bob. You were my internet husband for years, and I still miss you. 😿

  • That Darn Cat!

    The height of sixties feline sophistication. DC is an absolute LEGEND who also starred in The Incredible Journey which narrowly missed my top ten.

  • Gay Purr-ee

    Queen Judy plays a Turkish Angora. I'm a Turkish Angora. She loved gay men. I love gay men. She was visually stunning. I'm visually stunning. You see why I love this?

Movies I've Watched Since My Husband Died 3z682v https://letterboxd.conexionsite.com/cubavenger/list/movies-ive-watched-since-my-husband-died/ letterboxd-list-16150426 Wed, 20 Jan 2021 09:12:23 +1300 <![CDATA[

[Originally written October 2020 with some updates]

He was my Movie Buddy For Life.

And now he's gone.

How do you do anything when your everything dies?

Reactions are muted. Nothing feels exciting. Only the most emotional of films directly connected to this recent experience connect and then it's just a stream of tears and memories.

At first, I tried "controlled burns" (deliberate tearjerkers to release emotion), but I'm burning just fine on my own every day thank you very much.

I can't bring myself to watch any of our favorites. Even if the world wasn't going through a pandemic, I don't know if I'd be able to revisit the theaters we used to frequent every week for our Movie Date Sunday. [UPDATE: Our favorite theater closed in February 2021, so I couldn't even relive those memories if I wanted to.]

In a way it's a relief. There's a built-in excuse for why I'm not going out. But if the world gets through the pandemic and safely returns to some sense of pre-pandemic normalcy, I don't know if I'm prepared for the emotional tsunami that awaits me at our favorite spots.

For now, I guess I will catalogue films without ratings unless it's something I've seen before. If something makes me smile, I'll give it a like. If it's total shit, I might break out for a bit and release some of the anger in a scathing review. But overall, I'm not the best judge of anything right now. Things I used to love are devoid of joy, a reminder of what once was that will never be again.

Despite everything, I still believe in love. I hope that everyone with a good heart will find someone who connects with them the way he and I connected. While it's happening, it's the most extraordinary feeling I've ever experienced. Even knowing how things turned out, I'd still go through it all again just to feel that connection. At least I'd know, for however brief a time, that I was not alone in the world.

Cub Avenger's Top 100 Films 3m2d27 https://letterboxd.conexionsite.com/cubavenger/list/cub-avengers-top-100-films/ letterboxd-list-515958 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 00:38:01 +1300 <![CDATA[

In order to make my list of Top 100 films, a film had to be at least 20 years old before I could really consider it one of the greatest of all time. Hype of the moment can often lead to movies being wildly praised in their day and seen as inconsequential or just plain bad years later.

These are the 100 films that have stood the test of time for me.

NOTE: I considered the Three Colours Trilogy as a single entry even though it is not possible to have just one listing for it on this list. The 3 films which make up the Three Colours Trilogy were directed by the same director, written by the same writers, and share an overarching theme. Because of this, I believe they should be counted as one whole experience in much the same way Kieslowski's Dekalog miniseries is. The entry for Three Colours: Red is a placeholder for the Three Colours Trilogy.

I would have put the entire original Star Wars trilogy on here as a single entry, but, even though they tell one continuing story (unlike the Three Colours Trilogy), each film in the original Star Wars trilogy was directed by a different director and each film has a different aesthetic and feel to it. Because of this, the Star Wars films are separated, although Return Of The Jedi did not make this list.

Most Overrated Films Of 2014 5w6x1y https://letterboxd.conexionsite.com/cubavenger/list/most-overrated-films-of-2014/ letterboxd-list-522072 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 15:52:33 +1300 <![CDATA[

2014 seemed to be a banner year for critical acclaim of absolutely terrible movies. Whether it was movies relying on gimmicks to mask an insufficient or incoherent script, movies that talked very loud and had either nothing to say or something utterly repellant to say, or movies that lacked that certain spark to really make them click, these were the movies of 2014 that had me begging for it all to stop.
