movies i think about

the jerk (1979)

really that one scene in particular. absolute pure movie magic. i was so worried this movie was going to be extremely problematic. i'm sure there are legitimate arguments for its problematicity but i really think it held up. the song has been stuck in my head more than any song in my entire life

columbus (2017)

la la land (2016)
