  • Noises Off! (rec'd by Rtizy)
  • My Favorite Year (also rec'd by Rtizy)
  • Wall-E (Mel says best Pixar Ever)(He's changed that assessment to Up, I believe)(Also, I need to see Wall-E again because the first time was at Sor's at a Very Late Hour and I dozed through parts)(did this! saw it at the beach w/W the summer of 2013)(And again in Nov of 2014 with B&Z! I think no matter how many times I watch it, I will always squee, "Waaaaall-eeeeeeeeee". Always.)
  • Gattaca (Sorcy kinda reccomends this one. It's not life changingly amazing, but it was pretty fun.)(I will never think about my loose hairs in the same way again!)
  • Up (Sad & Sweet, Cute & Funny, but Wall-E is still my favorite Pixar)
  • Inside Out (I rather liked it, but still like Wall-E best)
  • Kubo and the Two Strings
