Whatever I think of the current state of the franchise. The xenomorphs are the greatest movie monsters ever.

Day 17: A movie with the greatest villain
Watchmen is a... flawed movie. It doesn't capture the nuances of the graphic novel, but still I love it. Especially Ozymandias. He's an incredible villain; he does what he does for what he thinks is the betterment of mankind, but his methods are sociopathic. World peace at any cost.
But his speech is what seals it for me...
Rorschach: We can't let you do that...
Ozymandias: "Do that", Rorschach? Do you think I'd explain my master stroke to you, if there was even the slightest possibility that you could stop it? [Dramatic Pause] I triggered it thirty-five minutes ago.
Seeing the villain win in a mainstream blockbuster is so incredibly rare. It blew my mind. It's just too bad that the movie changed his ultimate weapon to tactical nuclear strikes, from what in the comic book is an inter-dimensional rain of mutant alien squids, crushing everyone and everything in their path

Day 18: A movie with your favorite ending
This one comes to mind. I'm almost certain I've mentioned this movie before, probably for this very question, but, I gotta say it again...
Being There (1979)

I don't know if it's my absolute favorite, but it's a damned good one.

Such a great movie. Christopher Lee is soo good in everything. Almost unique -- a cozy horror film.

Day 18: A movie with your favorite ending
I'm from America, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want happy endings. However...Beast is a fucked up little movie with a satisfying ending, at least as much as can be expected. It's open to interpretation apparently but I took it at face value
This was the first time I saw Jessie Buckley in anything and I've been slightly in love with her ever since.

It appears to be on Prime until the end of the month. I think I'll rewatch it, it's been a long time. Let me know what you think if you get around to watching

Day 18: A movie with your favorite ending
My favorite ending I used last time, and I am doing my best to not duplicate. And there are so many other options! Oh, this move has options...so many options...
So when this film was first made, it was a brilliant , beautiful, future noir. Then the studio looked it over and said " hey, you can't really tell that Harris Ford is the good guy. And it's confusing. Add a voice over. And why do we need this dream sequence with the unicorns? And the ending? No really happy enough. Fix that." So they added Ford doing the most lifeless voice over ever. Cut scenes. Then added a happy ending that involved Ford's character having an entire conversation with another character, off screen, that completely changes a big part of the story, but everyone apparently forgot about it until the end. And don't look to close at the ending scene or you will notice it looks a lot like an aerial shot from Kubrick's version of The Shining. The end.
Except not. It was a brilliant film, and Scott had the best eye in movies. So it was recut. And again. There are no less than five official cuts of this film, as well as the European broadcast version. Cut out are the "happy" ending and voiceover. And you get the original final shot: An origami unicorn, and the other Replicant hunter, Gaff's, final words. "Too bad she won't live. But then again, who does?" So much in one image and quote. It solidified to many the answer of whether Deckard was the last escaped Replicant, used to hunt the others. And it turned what sounded like a threat into an affirmation. Rachel has the short life of a Replicant, then she will die. But we all die. It is part of being human. Gaff could have killed them both, but he chose to let them have the time they had. It was an affirmation of life.
And a brilliant ending.

Day 18: Favourite ending — Usual Suspects. (But only the first time you see it. Every other subsequent viewing - and there will be many - is chasing that original high and mind-fuck.)
