What are your top 5 first-time watches in July 2022? Let me know!
1.The Shape of Water (2017)Call me crazy but this is my fav BP winner of the 2010´s
2.Silence (2016)
3.Nope (2022)
4.Elle (2016)
5.The Prince and the Showgirl (1957)Marilyn Monroe is my new favorite actor
I recommend you watch Prey(2022) Cineflect, it brings a unique cinematography to the action sci fi format and I’d like to see your thoughts on it
@@michaelgonzalez8552 I've seen it and will be talking about it in my August video :)
@@marcor7044 I would never call you crazy, but I might think it ;)
I actually don't think I've seen a single Marilyn Monroe film...
@@cineflect Looks like you got content for your vid of ehat you watched in September 2022 then :) I recommend starting with either Gentlemen Prefer Blondes or Some Like it Hot
First time i see this kind of round-ups, hope you do more! I'm adding mad god to my list.
You’re in for a singular viewing experience with MAD GOD. Let me know what you think! I started doing these “everything I watched” videos last month and plan on doing them every month going forward :)
Mine For July are:
1. Mirror (1975)
2. Cold War (2018)
3. The Father (2021)
4. The Irishman (2019)
5. Under the Skin (2013)/Top Gun Maverick (2022)
Mine for August currently are:
1. American Beauty (1999)
2. The silence of the Lambs (1991)
3. Apocalypse Now (1979)
4. The Shining (1980)
5. Paris, Texas (1984)
Whoa, your July was impressive, but your August is top tier! These are first time watches?! You must be having a revelatory summer!
Mad God was a beautiful thing to behold if you're a fan of old school effects that Tippett is known for. Not much of a real story other than vague intimations of a plot, just sort of a carnival ride through a fallen world cursed by its creator. Obviously it's lacking ingredients that other contributors to the creation of a film would bring, but there's no reason to hold it to that standard since it was only ever a personal passion project. A lot like Johan Johannsen's 'Last and First Men' being what you'd expect to see out of the guy who is usually just responsible for composing musical arrangements.
And I think Nope is my favorite movie monster ever. I still can't get out of my head how shockingly terrified I was during some of those scenes. It really reminded me of those tripods in war of the worlds who were spraying red mist all over that the people assumed was just processed human victims. I really enjoyed that movie but not for the script reasons that a lot of people were trying to sell the movie on. I was kind of ambivalent on the whole story about 'spectacle'. The more important thematic line in the movie to me was the one about 'you can't tame a predator you can only come to an agreement with one'. That's such a profound piece of natural philosophy that rings true.
Also I think the shoe at the beginning was Peele telling people 'don't over think it; weird shit just happens and we just have to accept that'. As if to tell the audience not to try to look too hard for meaning. That YOU will probably see what you see and interpret it your own way just like OJ and Jupe did.
Here's mine:
Top 5 First-Time Watches:
5. This Is the Life (2008) - A documentary directed by Ava Duvernay that I didn't know I needed. Really opened my mind to The Good Life emcees, something I had no idea existed.
4. Fritz the Cat (1972) - I have been wanting to see more of Ralph Bakshi's filmography because of me being a huge advocate for animation. Out of all of his films that I watched in July, this one is probably my favorite. Yes, it doesn't have much of a narrative, but I found myself invested in the existential aspects of Fritz's character.
3. Whiplash (2014) - A gripping film that never lets go and leaves you with a challenging and somber note. So glad I finally watched this.
2. RRR (2022) - An incredibly packed film that exceeded my expectations and has now piqued my interest in looking into Tollywood and Bollywood cinema.
1. The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) - Wes Anderson can do no wrong. This is right behind Fantastic Mr. Fox as my favorite of his filmography
Best Rewatch:
The Secret of NIMH (1982) - An absolute animation classic by Don Bluth. I now feel confident to list this as one of my personal favorites.
Best Show/Series:
When They See Us (2019) - A harrowing but necessary miniseries chronicling the lives of the Central Park 5.
Best Short Film:
Champ (2022) - A brief, but great, underrated, short film about a self-blaming victim of assault seeking vengeance. The final shot is super impactful no thanks to Eva Noblezada's lingered performance.
Best Comedy Special:
n/a - I don't really watch comedy specials often, but I guess I'll use this time to say Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel is great.
Worst Movie:
Heavy Traffic (1973) - I think I just need to watch this one again to really understand it. So far it is the weakest of Ralph Bakshi's films that I have seen so far in my opinion.
RRR! Yay, join me on my adventure through Indian cinema :)
I need to see more Bakshi myself and I've seriously considered bringing FRITZ THE CAT into the Cult House. You've given me several things to add to my watchlist. Agreed about ROTHANIEL, best special of the year so far.
TUMBAD Finest art of Cinematography!!!!
Excited to see that one. It's high on my watchlist: letterboxd.com/thejslewis/list/indian-cinema-watchlist/
UPDATE: Good Luck to You, Leo Grand is now eligible for the Oscars: variety.com/2022/awards/news/emma-thompson-oscars-good-luck-leo-grande-eligible-1235339526/
I loved Persuasion. And I actually watched one that you watched. I also enjoyed The Rescue.
Good to know I'm not the only one who liked it! THE RESCUE was one of my favorite docs from last year.
Incantation looks like a great found footage horror film , I always like Taiwanese horror film, will definitely check that out!
It's definitely one of the best in recent years.
Some good indian movie suggestions.

Thanks for all the recs! These are all on my watchlist: letterboxd.com/thejslewis/list/indian-cinema-watchlist/
@@cineflect Oh wow. I just saw the list. Most of them are very good movies. I small suggestion you've added Drishyam 1 in Hindi remake and dirshyam 2 malayalam. It is better to see both in original malayalam instead of remake.
Hello Cineflect I'm here for recommending you two Indian Movies which I'm pretty sure that after watching them you will also say:- Yaah! Indian's also have good sense of humor the fact is that either they all are underrated or people just ignored them and those movies are:-
1. Jaathi Ratnalu
2. Ludo
Thanks for the recommendations! I've added both to my watchlist: letterboxd.com/thejslewis/list/indian-cinema-watchlist/
I also finished out my month with Marcel! I watched Top Gun Mav when it came back to imax at the beginning of the month. (It actually finished right at midnight when july 4th hit HAHA Perfect timing) I Also saw Thor. It wasn't bad but wasn't to good imo. I watched CODA and Cha Cha Real smooth which were both nice surprises! I rewatched alot of film also but then for TV I watched all of Severence and Ted Lasso which were both amazing! I also watched a series on Apple TV called Mr. Corman which stars Joseph Gorden Levitt. He also directs. It wasn't too great. Overall a fun month!
Also I don't know if your much of a star wars fan but did you see they are re releasing Rogue One in IMAX on the 26th. Along with Exclusive footage of the new Andor series! OH and tonight I am seeing E.T. in IMAX. I have heard its even more amazing than it already is so I am excited!
That’s a solid crop. I love SEVERANCE and TED LASSO as well.
@@jonah.mcminn I do consider myself a STAR WARS fan and really liked ROGUE ONE. Thanks for the head’s up, I just might try to see that!
@@cineflect it’s really exciting to me. Greig Fraser’s cinematography is just perfect 😅
@@cineflect severance’s finale was an insane cliff hanger
first time watches :
1.Whiplash
2.Prisoners
3.Mad Max: fury road
4.Django Unchained
5.Oldboy
I'm a fan of all those films and wish I could experience each of them for the first time again.
Hello there Cineflect I liked your RRR and KGF review and they were awesome but I'm surprised how you didn't heard about the biggest cinematic revolution of INDIA i.e.
Brahmāstra: Part One - Shiva It's going to release on 9th September, directed by Ayaan Mukherjee. You may get shocked by the fact that this guy is making this film from 2013. Film is creating it's own Cinematic Universe Called Astraverse. You should watch out it's trailer first, then I'm sure there will be nothing that you don't get about it.
Thanks, Hunkai! I am aware of BRAHMASTRA and included it on a poll of the most anticipated blockbusters of the fall: ruclips.net/user/postUgkxXAlt8zF6HPyAUdoS5lM3TNQs1KvIDv9d
I plan to see it in theaters next month and cover it on the channel!
@@cineflect I'm humbled and grateful. Thank you very much, I will be waiting for your review on it.
I spent the first half of July enamored with Bloodborne, so I didn't watch as much as I would have liked. Therefore I have only three First-Time watches I actually liked (the first one I absolutely fell in love with):
1. TREASURE PLANET (2002)
2. DARK HABITS (1983)
3. OUTRAGE (2010)
The worst movie I watched in July was THE WILD (2006), definitely the bottom of the barrel regarding what came out of Disney's feature length animation department over the years. They really saved themselves by acquiring PIXAR.
That's fair, ELDEN RING stole a lot of my film-watching time this year. I don't think I've ever heard of THE WILD. How do I not know this movie exists?
Give Garuda gamana vrishabha vahana(ggvv) a watch. It's an interesting take on modern day take on Indian mythology. If you know a little about Vishnu, Shiva and Bhrama you will enjoy the way they have been represented. Even if you don't know about these Indian gods it's still a good gangster flick
Thanks for the rec! It's on my watchlist: letterboxd.com/thejslewis/list/indian-cinema-watchlist/
I've honestly forgotten most of Mad God already and I saw it less than a week ago.
Well, there goes that guarantee of mine 😣
I for one am still thinking about it everyday.
As seemingly you are vary big fan of mythological and horror movies, waiting for you to take a close look at TUMBAD its a tale of greed like no other and curse it will bring on both gods and humans alike
This movie is also close to me as it depicts my native marathi culture
You should watch better call saul
Oh, I am! Huge fan of BREAKING BAD and BETTER CALL SAUL, psyched for the finale tonight. I will be talking about it in my August video.
@@cineflect ah okay, excited for your video on it
With regard to Indian movies. Now "Sita Ramam"- movie is running in theatres all over world. May be you can check that out if it is near you. Its a love story. Visuals are good which should be seen in big screen.
Original (telugu language) Dubbed into (Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi) - Even dubbing was very good.
Generally i am not a fan of love films but this is very good. If you get a chance check it out in theatres near you.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look to be playing anywhere near me at the moment. I've added it to my watchlist in any case: letterboxd.com/thejslewis/list/indian-cinema-watchlist/
@@cineflect Thanks for the response.
Mine one
5: now you see me 2👍
4: fantastic beast👏
3: conjuring 🥉
2: the edge of tomorrow 🥈

These movies are masterpiece and some of my favorite
I can recommend you more if you wish 🙏
Thanks for the recommendations. I couldn't find HARA PHERI and PHIR HARA PHERI on Letterboxd. Maybe they have different titles? Both PUSHPA and TUMBBAD are high on my watchlist: letterboxd.com/thejslewis/list/indian-cinema-watchlist/
@@cineflect Lol it's hera pheri and mate, I'd suggest you to not watch Hera pheri 1 and 2, they are purely purely indian comedies :)
@@cineflect your watchlist is well made
@@RohanKumaar Huh, that's good to know. I'd still be interested to see what it's like, but it won't go high on my watchlist. I went to add it and there were several HERA PHERI to choose from, so I'm already overwhelmed ;)
@@smg2088 Thanks to you and many others! :D
Cineflect You should Also Try Bollywood Movie named Andhadhun.
Thanks for the rec! It's on my watchlist: letterboxd.com/thejslewis/list/indian-cinema-watchlist/
Top 5 first-time watches: Anaconda, Antwone Fisher, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, Nope, Sweetheart.
Top rewatch: Get Out.
Worst: Hocus Pocus.
Haha, poor HOCUS POCUS. Prepping for the sequel? Happy to see MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS and NOPE crack your list as well.
Hey have you checked Bauhbali? It’s directed by rajamouli.
It's at the top of my watchlist: letterboxd.com/thejslewis/list/indian-cinema-watchlist/
13:10-13:28 Well still better than The Jesus Rolls... i think?
Love yout videos.
I overall disagree about "what is a woman".
And I highly recommend reading jane austen! She's great.
And i gotta say, bill burr is a comedian i never liked. You should check out jerrod carmichael if you haven't before.
Thank you so much! I like Jerrod Carmichael, ROTHANIEL is my favorite stand-up (sit-down?) special of the year so far and ON THE COUNT OF THREE was a really promising debut. Which Jane Austen do you recommend starting with?
@@cineflect I've only read pride and prejudice so far. I love it and i think it's a great start. It's fun to read and i see myself reading it again in the future, which is something I can't say about every book.
I would also recommend having the soundtrack for the movie in the background while reading. It will enhance your reading experience so much!
@@1OldPacman Which movie? The Joe Wright one?
@@cineflect yup. I played this in a loop while reading ruclips.net/video/IYKf2MyQfWM/видео.html
I can’t for the life of me, understand the love for Marcel. I felt like I wasted my time
Oh, really? I’m sorry to hear that. Alas, nothing is for everyone.
PLEASE PLEASE WATCH PADMAVAT AS WELL!!
You missed RRR.... Please check. There is nothing best than this...
Trust me, I haven't missed RRR. It's my favorite film of the year so far. I've seen it twice and have covered it twice on the channel :)
What is a women🤔
Hmm...
@Cineflect ,watch Upendra movies
