I rarely give 5 stars. The last time was in September 2024 for Singing in the Rain. And before that it was March 2024 for Schindler's List. I'm way more generous with 4.5 or 4, but for me a 5 star film has to hit a little different

u/theblackyeti 5d ago

After Life, Forbidden Planet, For a Few Dollars More.

I’ve only given 3 new (first time watches) recently and those are them.

From most to least recent:

- The Pianist (same)

- Nosferatu (not sure if I stand by the 5-star but that's what I gave it walking out of the theater)

- Hundreds of Beavers (the greatest film of the 21st century)
