[titleleaf]

in honor of the strike what are your top 3 decades for film and your top 6 movies from each of them? (I sent this ask to a couple of people but i thought it would be fun to hear multiple answers!)

first of all: ty for sending me this, I am drinking my little soda pop and doing my laundry and contemplating these

second of all shout-out to everyone who's striking rn, there's lots of ways people can tangibly help on a local level but for the SAG/WGA strike Mashable (of all places??? seldom do I contemplate Mashable) has a great round-up of petitions, social media toolkits, and funds to support artists, r.i.p. to people going "ugh but this will delay my tv show :(" but please be normal

THIRDLY ooooo boy none of these will be a surprise to you specifically but hi everybody
