Modern cinematic masterpieces, and I can't wait for more. I'm hoping modern audiences are inspired to raise their standards, because there is a lot of crap being made (it's always heartbreaking when an incredible book series gets a bad updated script that ruins the story).
These movies are so well-made, in pretty much every way, and I might actually end up doing full film reviews of them in the future.
Go watch them on as big of a screen as you can find.
