#17 War
I have rarely enjoyed myself so much at a movie, and I may watch it every day.
#16 Tenet
At one point I just started laughing hysterically at my own confusion, “Why are they going to Oslo?” I howled, “And how is there 45 minutes left of this movie?”
#15 Stop Making Sense
Don’t wait until you don’t feel well, watch it now, it is everything.
#14 The Mystery of the 13th Guest
I ended up choosing The Mystery of the 13th Guest on TCM because, all together now, it is only an hour long!
