The Apartment
I'm sixty five years late to the party, but I knew within the first five minutes that this was going to be a five star experience. What a perfectly cynical dark comedy, but with such sweet performances from Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. The sexual politics are terrible and depressingly still relevant, and I couldn't believe that a 60's office party could feel as debauched as Wolf of Wall Street. Every performance and line of dialog in this movie is perfect, and I can't recommend it highly enough.
Thanks so much to the many fine folks from the 70mm Discord who've recommended this movie to me over the years: @Top5Bananas, @yo_ev, and @ericrost. I'm an idiot for waiting this long, but I'm so happy to have finally seen this classic.
