SOPHIE’S CHOICE (1982)

Meryl Streep’s all-timer of a performance can’t make me ever want to watch this movie again.

In which we learn that it’s possible to be nostalgic about something yet not remember it as perfect.

The ultimate feel-good movie, or harrowing exercise in existential angst? Possibly both.

A lightish drama about interracial marriage that came out the same year it became legal nationwide. But is it a good movie?

The earliest extant movie from a Black director, I found myself getting into it as more than homework.

It earned an X-rating for its “homosexual frame of reference,” but I mostly found unrelentingly depressing.

The biggest hit of its day has a supreme technical achievement slung over a story that feels to me like middling Bible fanfic.

James Dean’s most famous role, in the movie that kind of invented being a teenager.

A movie about a couple on the run after a crime spree. Seen that one before? Not like this.

Scorsese’s “masterpiece” about a boxer whose life falls apart because of his toxic masculinity.
