I look at govt pushback against anti-Nazi films in Made by History
Show PostI don't even play fucking video games but eat shit, dude. People are allowed to have hobbies ffs
Show PostInstant nominee: The Matrix. Personal fave: Grosse Pointe Blank.
Show PostGreat list. Some great opening scenes I’d offer: Citizen Kane (silent title card, then “No Trespassing”) A Matter of Life and Death (“This is the universe. Big, isn’t it?”) Kiss Me Deadly (bare feet running on the highway) La Dolce Vita (Jesus over Rome) The Spy Who Loved Me (Union flag parachute)
