Close, 2022: 10/10. A steady, gentle flow of tears throughout this entire movie. Most of the time because my heart was breaking, and some of the time because it was so beautiful. If you struggle with chronic guilt and shame, be careful with this one.
Problemista, 2024: 100000/10 Had a deep, cathartic sob starting about 4/5ths of the way through the movie and lasted through the credits. Cried so hard Jose had to carry me out the theater. Cried because it reminded me what it means to be human, how it feels to have a dream, and how difficult it can be to exist in the world.
Am I Okay?, 2024: 5/10. I really really wanted to like this one. Going into it knowing it was a coming out/coming of age I expected to cry, but I only felt a little teary during a montage of Dakota Johnson’s character “coming into herself,” and that might have only been because she’s so skinny and bangs look so good on her.
The Holdovers, 2023: 8/10. Loved. Cried every time Da’Vine Joy Randolph did anything. What a performance. To be fair, I watched the Oscars and her acceptance speech before seeing this one and wept like she was my own daughter (I was so proud of her and all her hard work,) so that may have influenced my experience of the movie. Overall, a thoughtful exploration of people in pain. Definitely some misty moments.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre — and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background — come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isn’t exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater
From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and it’s even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once
sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.
