    My favourite film has gotta be 1986 “Aliens”

    Some tension, some horror, some action.

    And Ripley was both pretty and a good asskicker of xenos.

    My favorite movie is the Matrix (the first one). Gutted by what they did in the sequels.

    Favorite genre is definitely Fantasy, love the world building in these movies.

    Big fan of long-form science fiction. Bladerunner 2049 is fantastic, as is Stalker by Tarkovsky.

    Tarkovsky in particular has brilliant works.

        Little known fact: all mattes are shot on first generation film. Kubrick would shoot the matte, put the film in storage, put it back in camera, then shoot the inside of the matte. It looks pristine to this day because there was no generation loss since there was only one generation even in the most effects heavy shots.
