gotta say whoever did the casting for the man who shot liberty valance made a funny as hell decision to set jimmy stewart and john wayne of all people as romantic rivals. they've got this poor woman choosing between two guys with competing brands of complete and total sexlessness. all the carnal energy in this movie is coming from lee marvin mostly and also from lee van cleef with his weird, overly angular facial hair

top 5 movies that you had to watch for uni

5. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance by John Ford (written by James Warner Bellah and Willis Goldbeck, based on a book by Dorothy M. Johnson): MY HUSBAND JAMES STEWART is in this movie. i watched it with hater friends who hated it but don't take their word for it please. if you like westerns but shy away from the violence you will like this movie (and probably already know it). imo it showcases an alternative side of masculinity in a genre that so often focuses on one single side. beautiful friendship between men. thematically extremely well done.

4. Sunset Boulevard by Billy Wilder (written by Wilder, Charles Brackett and D. M. Marshman Jr.): absolute classic, the atmosphere is perfect, the story is sooooo good, the characters are so well written and memorable. an iconic movie!!!

3. The Graduate by Mike Nichols (written by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry): Yeah i'm a sucker for a loser. again i watched this movie with my sister and we were both fighting for our lives cause whenever mrs robinson was on screen my sister would just say "milf." and whenever ben was on screen i would go heart eyes. again the soundtrack is noteworthy cause it's at the same time incredibly good (simon and garfunkel) and also absurd. awesome movie with one of my favourite endings of all time

2. THE MISSION (/Cheung Fo) by Johnnie To (written by Yau Nai-Hoi): This movie made me and my sister (who hates "serious" movies and subtitles) loose our shit. fr we were treating it like a drag race finale. vibes aside the movie is technically immaculate, looks amazing, hits impeccable emotional beats, plus the score goes INSANE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp0KiMQ9ock link to the iconic theme)

The Philadelphia Story by George Cukor (written by Donald Ogden Stewart): MY HUSBAND JAMES STEWART is in this movie also. polycule movie of all time. a cukor classic. heavy hitters stewart grant and hepburn. meta relationship to katherine hepburn's real reputation in hollywood (if you want me to explain message me lmao). what can i say it's a perfect movie. and it's aabria iyengar's favourite movie!!!! enough said.
