Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton: This is Stones Throw Records (2013) - 80/100 - A documentary charting the history of Peanut Butter Wolf's record label. Ridiculously good soundtrack (by Madlib) as would be expected. It's really well paced and edited from interviews with a great range of contributors.
Raising Arizona (1987) - 95/100 - Cracking performances all round. Wonderfully realised world. Witty dialogue mixed with visual jokes. An absolute delight.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) - 70/100 - Guy Ritchie makes a war romp. Much better than I was expecting. Ritchie is relatively restrained - it's not trying to be clever and doesn't take itself seriously. Great charisma in the cast and you can tell they were all having fun with it. It's utterly ridiculous, but fun and didn't feel like it's 120min runtime.
Sherlock Holmes in New York (1976) - 65/100 - Objectively average made for TV movie with Roger Moore in the lead, Patrick Macnee as Watson, and John Huston as Moriarty. The story is OK, and it plods along whilst never being particularly exciting. But it's peak Roger being Roger and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it (on the sofa, ill).

I enjoyed the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare also. The crazy thing being how much of it is based on a true story also... Albeit it sounds like there was much less bloodshed!!!

The Worst Person in the World
This film sort of resonated with me. I've been through periods of my not committing to things, perhaps not hurting people to the extent of the main character. I'm not entirely sure it was deserving of all the critical acclaim, I think sometimes these awards are banded around too much, when there are films is overall depth and complexity, but it's just a good film about someone who can't decide what they want out of life.
