Hi for the game( any genre) 🤦🏽🙅🏽✨💋🌃🤔😌❤️‍🔥❤️

Hi! Thank you!! These were so fun to think about!

Facepalm emoji - Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018). One of my fave films of recent years tbh, I think it's wildly underrated. A drama about a failing author who starts forging and selling letters from far more famous authors for money only to start getting off on her own grift, Melissa McCarthy is at her absolute best. It's just really, really good.

Nope emoji - Possession (1981). A cult classic horror having a bit of a resurgence lately, Possession tells the story of a young married couple who may or may not be in control of their bodies anymore. Then it gets - - really weird, haha.

Sparkle emoji - A Star is Born (1954). By far the best version of this story as it's probably the only one that successfully balances the two leads, particularly her ascent and his descent. Plus Judy Garland is magic personified in this one.

Smooch emoji - Double Indemnity (1944). Movies wish they had what Double Indemnity had - sexy, sharp, and totally thrilling, this is a movie about seduction, deception and murder. What's not to love?

Cityscape emoji - Tokyo Story (1953). An elderly couple travel from their village to Tokyo to visit their daughter in law after losing their son / her husband in WWII. Every time I watch this, I really discover something new to love about it. It's a gentle film, but one that feels soaked in grief, love and tenderness, and perfectly captures what it is to live in the aftermath of tragedy.

Thinking emoji - The Act of Killing (2012). Not to be watched lightly, this documentary is about the genocide in Indonesia in 1965-1966. Not only that, it tries to understand the mentality of those who did it by asking them to re-create their actions through short films. It's a harrowing insight into propaganda engines, corruption, gang warfare and what I can only really describe as evil, and a viewing experience like no other.

Relieved/Content emoji - A Little Princess (1995). I wasn't entirely sure about this one, but ended up interpretting it as a comfort movie, and I was just talking to Megan about A Little Princess yesterday, so it sprung immediately to mind. I love this movie, and it's approach to girlhood, imagination and found family is really special.

Heart emoji - In the Mood for Love (2000). This movie is e v e r y t h i n g to me. The story of two people who discover their spouses are having an affair and decide to try and have an affair of their own has no right being this deeply romantic, and Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung are simply everything. Plus the score is to die for.

Fire emoji - The Heiress (1949). I almost swapped this with In the Mood for Love, as the former is definitely sexier, but then again, The Heiress isn't really a love story, rather it's a film about self-worth, so for that alone I figure it deserved the fire emoji. Olivia de Havilland is one of my favourite actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age, and this is a perfect example as to why. She's perfect, and this movie is timeless.

Send me an emoji + a genre and I'll send you a movie rec
