Hoping to catch Beau Is Afraid as soon as I can locate a theater chair comfy enough to support my wiry carriage for three hours. I'm including his short The Strange Thing About the Johnsons. Feel free to include your own if the spirit moves, but at this point I feel confident enough voting for Hereditary as his best.

Only seen Hereditary and Midsommar, and neither held interest for long.

Loved Midsommar, no waffles (okay the effects when they're on 'shrooms are kinda weak).

Hereditary, especially THAT ONE MOMENT, really got me.

Looking forward to Beau is Afraid, I'm all in for a movie I've seen multiple critics describe as a three hour panic attack.

Beau is Afraid was fucking hilarious, I haven't laughed so hard in a theater in a while. I don't know if it's his best film but it's by far the one I've enjoyed most.

Liked hereditary and Midsommar was ok

I was getting excited to see Eddington, but lost some enthusiasm when I read it's really "both sides are crazy" the art flick. Not sure how psyched I am for two and a half hours of Joaquin Phoenix lead radical centrism. I'll probably stream it in six months.

Chapo had him on recently. Interesting guy. Seemed very grounded and “normal”. I need to see Beau is Afraid. I really enjoyed Hereditary and Midsommer. Exactly my kind of horror films. I struggle with a lot of horror because I dislike gore and cruelty. I really enjoy dread and world building.

Yeah, he's shockingly normal. Especially surprising in light of Beau which is batshit crazy.

I saw Midsommer and really liked it. Saw Hereditary and I thought it was...dumb. I don't know. Think I would feel differently if I saw Hereditary first. Haven't seen anything else but they are all on the list.

Did this used to be a poll and the option was removed?

Loved Hereditary and Midsommer. Not just for the plots, but for the scary images (ie, the scene with the ants in the former). I liked parts of Beau is Afraid, especially the early scenes of Phoenix in his apartment, terrified to go across the street. But then it just went on and on, and I almost was like, "is this thing over yet?" Overall, it was admirable, it wasn't an outright failure like, say, Babylon, by another director whose previous films I admired (Damien Chazelle).

Looking forward to seeing Eddington.
