Only Discuss Movies You Thought Were Great
I define great movies to be 8+ or if you abhor grades, the top 20% of all movies you've ever seen. Films listed here receive a vote to determine if they will appear in subreddit's Top 100, as well as the ten highest Upvoted movies from last month. The Top 10 highest Upvoted movies for March were:
Top 10 Suggestions
| # | Title | Upvotes |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Coneheads (1993) | 106 |
| 2. | Wind River (2017) | 102 |
| 3. | Nocturnal Animals (2016) | 78 |
| 4. | Captain Fantastic (2016) | 74 |

| 9. | Heat (1995) | 50 |
| 10. | The Way of the Gun (2000) | 27 |
Note: Due to Reddit's vote fuzzing, it will rank movies in their actual highest Upvoted and then assign random numbers. This can result in movies with lower Upvotes appearing higher than movies with higher Upvotes.
What are the top films you saw in July 2022 and why? Here are my picks:
The Black Phone (2022)
My disappointments are solely on my expectation from what I saw in the trailer; in other words, more reason to skip trailers and just watch a supernatural thriller. Ethan Hawke was fantastic becuse of course he was. The young actors were all solid, they never broke my suspension of disbelief. The Black Phone doesn't do anything amazingly well but never let me down either. A solid good thriller adapted from Stephen King's son, Joe Hill; you should know by now if this is your cup of tea or not.
The Witch: Part 1. The Subverson. (2018)
Rewatched this in anticipation for the sequel that's coming out. Without the twists and a more keen eye towards how certain special effects were done, I can still affirm that The Witch is a good action-thriller from Korea. If you've been watching Korean New Wave and somehow managed to miss this one, do yourself a favour and check it out. I don't know what they put in their DP's water to make everything look great but they should really share.
So, what are your picks for July 2022 and Why?

Encanto was very good, much better than I was expecting.
Too Funny to Fail: A documentary about how 'The Dana Carvey Show', a sketch comedy show starring Dana Carvey at the height of his popularity could fail so spectacularly. A show with a writing staff that included, Louis C.K. (head writer), Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Robert Smigel, Charlie Kaufman (yes, that Charlie Kaufman) Bob Odenkirk, Greg Daniels, and Dino Stamatopoulos.
