Might be a dead heat. Both brilliant and pertinent films that genuinely deserved their lavish praise. Not sure I could watch the latter again though, it's unbelievably stressful. Both outstanding films. Invisible Man is a taut thriller, but I'd give the nod to Parasite for being such an interesting blend of genres where you never knew what was going to happen next. I've seen it 4 times and it's still fascinating. Quote

Mr_Danger Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 Yeah, Invisible Man was excellent and felt like a fresh take on something well trodden but Parasite was unlike anything else I’ve seen. It’s rare something feels so fresh and original. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted December 21, 2020 Members Posted December 21, 2020 Parasite was a complete and utter "reset" film for cinema. Probably the best film of the last 20 years* *Arbitrary span based on nothing in particular. Quote

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 21, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 21, 2020 Green Room I really shouldn't have left it so long to rewatch this. One of the best thrillers of the last decade. Imogen Poots should be doing more roles like this, and what a gem Anton Yelchin was, he's so missed. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 22, 2020 Moderators Posted December 22, 2020 I loved the film overall but Patrick Stewart was a bit too cartoony for me. Quote

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted December 22, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 22, 2020 I love Green Room but feel that because the first half is so insanely tense the second half feels a bit flat because it's just impossible to keep that level of tension going. Additionally when my favourite characters started to die I just started to lose my attachment to it. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 23, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 23, 2020 The Midnight Sky (Netflix) The bad reviews are not wrong. A compilation of clips from numerous other better sci-fi films. George Clooney needs to stop directing. Felicity Jones and David Oyelowo exempt from criticism. Just an entirely pointless endeavour.
