I started this month with a ferocious early cinema marathon and I wasn't even realizing I was approaching my 3500th entry on Letterboxd. My favorites so far are A Nightmare, Snowball Fight and The Flying Train. George Melies is probably my favorite director regarding 1890-1900s cinema. He was a genius.
The Kingdom of the Fairies is truly stylish and stunning, especially the underwater scene. I loved the use of colors. One year later A Trip to the Moon but already an incredible variety of sets.

House of 1000 Corpses 2003
Year of 1000 Films
I can't believe I did it! I'd like to thank the pandemic and rising unemployment and decline for this achievement. No way I'll make it again.
This was a crazy, wild and badass one. It reminded me a little of TCSM2. -
Eddie Murphy: Delirious 1983
Iconic and so alive! 37 years ago but it feels like another world.
I hope to feel alive in 2021, cause 2020 was a constant stand-by. -

Under the Skin 2013
Less fucked up and absurd than I expected, probably because I watched Inland Empire for the first time just a month ago. Under the Skin is a reverse and sci-fi The Brown Bunny. It's not that deep but very stylish, a film for the big screen and definitely a visual masterpiece. From a certain perspective, the plot is all about different men reacting to Scarlett Johansson's beauty. Men like hopeless mindless pigs, à la Ms .45. Actually it's more about…

One from the Heart 1981
New instant Coppola #1 favorite, this is beautiful to tears.
One from the Heart is a dreamy and eye-candy love story filled with a wonderful score, neon lights and Fellini-esque magic. More than once I couldn't believe this film was real, some scenes really look like they were shot from another world. It's such a pity this was then a flop and now a forgotten beauty. This came out after The Godfather(s) and Apocalypse Now, it was a hot take but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's stylish and lovely like few others.
