So, you're wondering where to put your hat

My name is David. This site is what you'd get if you asked a friend who's really into cinema what to watch tonight. Sometimes serious, sometimes silly, sometimes a little pretentious.

This isn't every movie ever made

There are plenty of places to find those. This is a curated list, built from my own movie and film watching. It's meant to feel a little exclusive without being snobby: if it's here, I think it's worth your evening. My hope is you'll learn to trust it.

Movies vs Films

Everything gets rated twice, out of 50 each way.

Movie

Makes you stuff your face with popcorn and go Mmm.

Popcorn · Rewatchability · Universality · Wit · Spectacle

Film

Makes you stroke your chin and go Mmm!

Plot · Characters · Craft · Timelessness · Legacy

A few rare things score high on both. That's allowed, and it's why picking "Film" doesn't mean homework.

Tell me I'm wrong

I'm open to suggestions and always game for a movie discussion. Drop me a line, or suggest something I've missed.
