WARNING: spoilers below

Jenny the Donkey's Death
the need for Subtitles
The dismembered hand

Now I'm not sure what to do about The Banshees of Inisherin.

I'll keep it on my list for now, but I'll drop it down a bit because I have so many movies to watch that I probably won't get through all of them anyway. So if I have time for it, I might watch it.

But I'm still willing to listen to anyone who may have any other opinions about it.

The Lost City sounds like my kind of movie. It's near the top of my watchlist.

I have Everything Everywhere All at Once on my DVR already because I recorded it before the MoFo Awards thread was posted. The only thing I knew about it at the time was that it was getting great reviews. I haven't decided whether or not I'll watch it yet, but I haven't deleted it from my DVR yet either.

Yeah, Hubby decided to skip Morbius because he heard it was terrible, so I won't be watching it.

But he wants to see The Munsters, so that's still a possibility if we get to it soon.

I don't know much about The Sea Beast except that it's animated, and Karl Urban is listed in the credits, so I'm basically going into it blind, but I'm glad to hear that you liked it. That gives me high hopes for it.

I've been a Spielberg fan since his early days, so I would watch The Fabelmans even if it had gotten bad reviews, but the majority of the reviews I've heard have been good, so I'm looking forward to this movie.

I liked Knives Out, but I didn't love it, so I don't have high expectations for Glass Onion, but my curiosity makes me want to see it anyway.

I don't think I've heard of Apollo 10 1/2, but I added it to my watchlist. Thanks for the recommendations.

The Fabelmans, Thirteen Lives, and Marcel the Shell are all great choices.

I'd also recommend Apollo 10 1/2 and Rosaline.

I might also recommend The Wonder. It's about a nurse watching a girl who refuses to eat. There is one fairly brief scene in which someone attempts to force feed her, but I don't think it's too difficult or depressing a watch.

Missed that Apollo been recommended a couple times, but now it's been recommended a few times.

I haven't heard of Rosaline or The Wonder, but I just took a quick look at the synopsis for each of them.

Rosaline sounds like it could be my kind of movie, but I'm not sure about The Wonder. I'm hit or miss with depressing movies, so it could go either way, but I added both movies to my list.

Apollo 10 1/2 sounds interesting too.

The Wonder is very much an "it's your call" kind of suggestion. I just watched it for the second time, so it's on my mind.
