Movies and TV that stuck. No star ratings, no rankings — just picks.
The Penguin Lessons · dir. Cattaneo · 2024
Steve Coogan rescues an oiled penguin in Argentina and smuggles him into a boys' boarding school — gentle and a little sad, the kind of film that sneaks up on you.
Palm Springs · dir. Barbakow · 2020
A time-loop rom-com with actual stakes — Samberg and Milioti stranded in the same desert wedding forever, discovering that forever might be okay.
Margin Call · dir. Chandor · 2011
One night, one building, the whole machine coming apart — the best chamber drama about the 2008 crisis, and nobody even raises their voice.
Berlin Calling · dir. Stöhr · 2008
Kalkbrenner plays himself burning out in slow motion — the film is fine, but 'Sky and Sand' alone justifies the runtime.
Layer Cake · dir. Vaughn · 2004
The film that handed Daniel Craig the Bond audition — sharp, merciless London crime where everyone is exactly two bad decisions from losing everything.
La meglio gioventù · dir. Giordana · 2003
Six hours, forty years, two brothers — somehow it feels too short. The kind of film that makes you want to call your family.
π · dir. Aronofsky · 1998
Aronofsky's debut — a paranoid mathematician convinced he's found the number behind everything, shot in grainy black-and-white before anyone knew who he was.
Totò, Peppino e la malafemmina · dir. Mastrocinque · 1956
Totò and Peppino in fur coats, lost in Milan, dictating a threatening letter in an Italian they don't quite speak — one scene, seventy years of quoting it.
→ in the queue: always something.
