  • Bacurau (2019): A small town in Brazil has enough to deal with and when the regional Mayor visits, he is obviously only there for the votes. Then things go from bad to worse and we get to see Udo Kier do his villain thing! Low budget action-y movie, but possibly worth watching for the non-standard setting and community.
  • Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked The World (2017): If you have any interest in modern music, this is a must-watch documentary about Native Americans' influence on rock and roll.
  • Blue Is the Warmest Colour (2013): Young woman unexpectedly finds herself attracted to another woman. Hot sex ensues, but relationships are about more than that, as this movie details. If you don't like French movies in general, be warned: this is a very French movie.
  • Bros (2022): Will two gay men do more than hook up? Do they even want to? Billy Eichner runs a verbal stream of consciousness about most everything his character encounters in this light romcom. Not great, but not horrible.
  • Fire Island (2022): Gay men vacation and deal with their issues. More comedy than romantic, and an overall better film than Bros.
  • The Nightingale (2018): The film hammers viewers with justification for what drives our heroes to get justice. Too many trigger warnings to count. Good enough film, but there are less bombastic versions of similar stories, so if the opening horrors are going to be too much, maybe watch The Piano or Rabbit Proof Fence instead.
  • Dave Made a Maze (2017): Interesting concept, but skippable. Silly fun, though.
  • The Liberation of L.B. Jones (1970):This is not a good movie, but it tries. This was famed director William Wyler's (Jezebel, Mrs. Miniver, Ben Hur) attempt to deal with racism in the U.S., but its reviews were bad enough that he opted to retire rather than continue directing movies. Trigger alert: bad guy shoots and kills friendly dog.
  • A Patch of Blue (1965): Blind white girl with horrid home life falls for a kind stranger. Alas, the stranger is a black man, and such things are scandalous at that time. Excellent film.
  • You, the Living (2007): 2nd of trilogy that I'd forgotten to finish. I liked it so much I went straight into the third.
  • A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (2014): 3rd in trilogy, but I was a bit disappointed having just watched the lighter 2nd.
