When people gush about movies and call them a “visual feast…” this is the kind of movie they’re talking about.

Speaking of which, Everything Everywhere All At Once had several homages to Wong Kar-Wai films. And Everything etc. is a great, great film.

Nights of Cabiria | Rotten Tomatoes

The magnificent Giulietta Masina (Fellini's wife) plays an eternally optimistic Rome streetwalker with a heart of gold and a head of cotton candy in her husband's Oscar-winning masterpiece. This funny, poignant classic inspired the musical "Sweet Charity" and is a must-see for Fellini fans.

Great selections! But, for my money's worth, if I'm going Tom and Meg then I'm going You've Got Mail and Joe Versus the Volcano.

I've watched You've Got Mail three times the past month or two. Can't help myself. It may well be the best rom com ever made. I find something new. Some nuance each time. And...frankly, I cry each time. Just like a baby. Lol. It's about friendship. They're true friends. Forget about the romantic aspect.

It also amazes me how well it speaks to our current era, despite the old AOL "You've got mail!" after the long anticipation of static channeling through phone cable.

The novel on which this is based (by John Fowler) has become somewhat notorious for being cited by several serial killers as their inspiration — to the point that it is considered sort of The Turner Diaries for potential killers/kidnappers. I think the movie has been cited by a few as well.

Both were not bad, stylish and had their merits. But both were also wildly overrated.
