Just watched this movie (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) and it was soul filling with lovely, quiet performances and emotion. Been trying to devour more about it and this interview helped expand the concepts.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet (director of Amélie!) has a new sci-fi movie coming out in February on Netflix. It looks colorful and fun. 

Each year Rob Weychert schedules new-to-him horror movies for each day of the month. On this year's list is Magic with Anthony Hopkins that both terrified me as a child and inspired me to get a ventriloquist doll.

Writers, readers and filmmakers create a list of favorite movies. Some gems and some I've yet to see. If I had to pick one to add to the list today I would say "About Time"

Wow. Pretty amazing throwback to analogue. / via Coudal

I love Khoi's thoughtful bite-sized insights to movies.

With the passing of Christopher Plummer I'm asking friends if they'd ever seen Beginners. It's such a very good movie, and the descriptions of it fail to capture what the movie is really about. (A little bit of everything.)

I've been revisiting favorite movies. This car always stuck with me.

This thread is gold if you've ever looked at the array of streaming options and had no idea where to start. I love folks sharing their favorites.

I saw the movie Popeye at age 9. (I thought it was magical back then.) I always thought it would be fun to go to the place it was filmed. I guess you still can? / via @ADuralde

Stream Classic Cinema, Indie Film and Top Documentaries, with your library card. (Sadly CIncinnati's public library doesn't seem to be a part of the system)

I've seen two of these (Spiderverse and I, Tonya, both of which were excellent). Putting these other 5 on the list (though some were already there).

Adding to my mental queue to watch this movie.

Jessica Jones makes these up every year and shares a printable PDF for your Oscar party. Or heck, you could just print one for yourself.

10 bucks a month, see as many movies as you want (in 2D) in theaters in your area. Just did a search and every theater I go to is listed. I don't know the catch. There has to be a catch.

Fascinating cinematography

This looks delightful

What a bizarre and intriguing trailer

Clips of movies that inspired their posters

Ha!

I think this movie is really quite endearing and very good. Best watched without reading too much about it or watching a trailer. If you like sweet love stories with a bit of a twist, rent it. (Sadly not streaming anywhere at the moment)

Dream job. Awesome results (just saw the movie, v. enjoyable). /via Kottke

Search Netflix, Hulu, Google Play, iTunes, and more, for movies to stream instantly, rent, and buy. / via DaringFireball

I not only appreciate the sentiments, but this plea is animated awesomely.

That's all.

Without VFX, Iron Man 2 is the story of two men, with soft spots on their heads, getting into trouble in their pajamas.

I quite love Dave White's movie reviews, and even though this list is set up as a slideshow, it can't take away from some fine film selections that got overlooked by the Oscars.

I always enjoy Austin's lists. There are many on here I hope to see. (And I recommend Bernie whenever I get a chance)

I thought this movie was awesome, and I've been saving this link to delve into at some point. Turns out, it's _really_ meaty. I'm saving it for later. / via daring fireball

Included in this list? A Crackling Yule Log Fireplace if you're into that sort of thing. (I am)

ESPN Films and Grantland's first in a series of videos about sports and sport figures. This makes me want to visit Vegas and shake Pete's hand. / via DaringFireball

Just saw "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" and Naz's insights sum up my feelings better than I could. A fine and beautiful film.

In my opinion, this is the best site out there that doesn't have a mobile version or app. Oh, it'd benefit from such things, but for now? It's just nice to have a place to note the movies one watches without junk yelling at you to buy something or feel like a tool.

A lovely print showcasing each film with a simple icon. Dig it. / via LaughingSquid

Interesting find from Cameron Moll. I'm intrigued more by Peter Jackson's new movie as well as understanding better why fewer frames feel more film-like.

V. clever use of long-exposure to capture WiFi networks

Speaking of which (and not on the list) - I need to stop surfing so I can catch Fantastic Mr. Fox on the big screen while I still can!

Loved the hand dancing.

Spanning the career of George Lucas

I thought they looked non-digital in spots. I liked 'em, along with the whole darn movie!

Some PIxar mixed in there brightens my spirits.

Grabs and insight of titles from movies (via Khoi / Subtraction)

Over 1400 movies. Looks be be a web only player. Interesting though. Wish I could take these on the road (via fresharrival)

Interview on Wired. Touches on Kubrick, Pink Floyd, and Christmas on Mars (to read)

Not the movie. I'm very much digging when Roger Ebert mixes the screen with thoughts on the world at large. In this case, he examines a the Bette Davis stamp.

Filing this away to watch later. This, our favorite soap at home. (via Draplin)

A movie I don't know much about, but I trust Greg Storey that the art direction is lovely. I'll watch these clips after some news absorption tonight. (as seen on airbagindustries)

Paintings by Kirk Demarais as part of the Crazy 4 Cult show (via PCL LinkDump)

I sure did like this movie growing up, yet somehow I don't stock canned food and guns in the house.

Big-screen adaptation to be a "hybrid" - mixing CG with live action. Much like the bang up Alvin and the Chipmunks with David Cross

A nice photoset that gives a glimpse of the process (thx Rachel)

To watch later, when I have some time

I saw Horton last weekend and teared up with love for it. I saw it as "Respecting the rights of others regardless of their physical stature or societal position." (and more) via flux-rad

I quite liked this quote from the trailer: "I've been waiting for so long to finally admit to myself that I'm amazing." Good stuff for girls or boys. Rock indeed. (thanks Amy, I hope we can get a screening in the area too!)

The full one. (via towleroad)
