Luis Bunuel: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972).
Hilarious. Bunuel "told a reporter at Newsweek that his favorite characters in the film were the cockroaches" (Wikipedia).

Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds (2009). An alternative history in which Jewish-American soldiers mimic Nazis by torturing and killing them indiscriminately.

Frances Ha by Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig (2012)
a beautiful film, which among many other admirable things, such as its scintillating dialogue, is a tribute to the French New Wave.

Joker (2019). Missed it in the theaters. Streamed a short sample. Will catch it after Jan 7 when I buy the DVD. Pretty unrelenting so far. Taxi Driver without Cybill and Jodie to compensate.

Viewed The House of Mirth (2000) 2 more times, just to absorb Wharton's riveting dialogue before reading her long book.

Little Women (2019)
Splendid. Loved it. Now I must read the book.
Two New Yorker reviews helped explain for me what director Greta Gerwig was up to.

1917 (2019) by Sam Mendes.
A cinematic tour de force. If I had to make the case that the movies are the great art form of our time, this would be one of the flicks I would show.
In wide release right now. Won't be available on DVD and Blu-ray till March 24.

Re: What movies are you watching today?
Rewatching 2 excellent guilty-pleasure action/adventure flicks:
Mission Impossible V: Rogue Nation
Mission Impossible VI: Fallout
Love both. The opera sequence in Rogue Nation (Turandot in Vienna) is a cinematic tour de force.
