Thank you for everything, Maggie.

💔You'll be deeply missed.💔

When I read news of her passing a few moments ago, the first word out of my mouth was “NO.” And I didn’t expect this to affect me so.

We lost another great. Rest well, Professor.

Rest in peace, Dame Maggie Smith

R.I.P. Dame Maggie 😞😭💔💖🕊️✨

The very definition of fierce. I LOVED her in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Please go seek and watch. It's the movie she won an Oscar for (in 1970...).

film stuff

thank you Kylie @portlandwithyou for the tag!

Rules: Post 9 of your favorite films you saw for the first time in 2024 that aren't new (2023/2024) but are new to you, and tag 9 others to do the same.

yay, 2024 was the first year i can actually do this with since i watched quite a bunch of stuff!

in no particular order:

dog day afternoon (1975) — flawless

reservoir dogs (1992) — flawed and absolutely, deeply lovely, hilarious, suspenseful and moving

the cook, the thief, his wife and her lover (1989) — spectacular in the literal sence, a hard to enjoy but haunting hit to the gut. pivots around an absolutely phenomenal rendition of miserere

gilda (1946) — beautiful, rich and chilling. impeccably cast. in the words of greg davies, powerful homoeroticism, i really enjoyed it. also i'm gay and, well, rita hayworth

the prime of miss jean brodie (1969) — uncomfortable and unsubtle. maggie smith is astonishing

made in britain (1982) — bleak and captivating and very visually distinct, made me want to go through alan clarke's whole filmography

funny games (2007) — clever and to the point. the first ~25 minutes in particular are so excruciating they took a few tries to get through

rosencrantz & guildenstern are dead (1990) — wonderfully engaging and a smooth ride, eminently rewatchable

snowtown (2011) — sharp, revolting and gorgeous in arkapaw's precise fashion

you can clearly see a tendency in this list haha but let me go on record saying every tim roth movie on here i enjoyed for a whole list of other things than just his performances

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie from 1969 shows what a powerhouse Maggie Smith has always been. Rest in Peace, Dame.
