The unofficial Chazelle Obsession Trilogy is one for the record books. Whiplash and La La Land are my 3rd and 4th favorite films of all time, and I can't believe I've taken so long to continue through Damien Chazelle's filmography. The only thing that has sent my brain scrambling MORE than watching Babylon has been trying to think of what I'm going to say ABOUT Babylon.

Haven't seen this in over a year, so I wanted to revisit. Didn't that Bob Dylan is at the end, this would actually make for a great double feature with A Complete Unknown.

The theme song came on while I was driving home from work today, and I immediately thought,

Going to start marking off some more of Park Chan Wook's filmograpy soon. But it's Oldboy, man. Maybe I'll just watch this 10 more times before getting to the rest.
The other film I'm watching tonight is a big one.... My most anticipated Japanese film.

This is probably the scariest non-horror film I've ever seen.
Watching Oldboy and Cure back to back has to make for the most horrifying non-horror film double feature you could possibly watch. How to people execute their ideas this well on screen?
I love Good Will Hunting endlessly, but I just found the best film of 1997.
