Such a heartbreaking story.
Spoiler for :
That's definitely one way to read the ending. The other way is that he wasn't crazy after all. It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but I remember it wasn't just a storm. It was a storm that mirrored exactly what he had foreseen.

Intense, twisted, disturbing, disgusting, and yet, a completely brilliant movie.

I think I Saw the DEvil is tight and all but so very very far from even being close to the best Horror/Thriller/Drama I've ever seen. That might just be because it's so basic and straightforward.

I think I'll just watch the original again instead.
It's been well over 4 years since I saw it.

So, like, can we all agree that Beauty and the Beast is the best Disney movie?

Haven't seen it. But no, I'm pretty sure it's the Lion King.

I wanna hit you tbh. I love the Lion King, love it hard, once of my favorite movies ever, but tbh I think I'd still put Beauty and the Beast just over it. The settings, Lumiere and Cogsworth, the gothic art design, a romantic storyline which actually works and doesn't feel rushed and/or pointless and is easily the OTP of Disney, a soundtrack which is at least as good, and... well Belle just does things to me. But seriously if you haven't seen Beauty and the Beast then you simply can't consider yourself a fan of the Disney Renaissance any more than you can if you haven't seen The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, or the Lion King. Those four movies and all four movies are simply required watching for any Disney fan. **** Sleeping Beauty, go and ****ing watch Beauty and the Beast right ****ing now. Like, srsly right the **** now and don't sleep till you have.

Considering it's 3:47 in the night here, I don't think I can watch any movie and not fall asleep in the middle of it. But yeah, I've seen three out of four of those "Disney Renaissance" movies you mentioned, and I probably like all of them fairly well. It's been ages since I've seen any of them.

I'd like to watch Beauty and the Beast, but honestly, the 50's classics have a stronger pull on me right now. I think Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty are the two I would most like to watch at this point.

I'll just say that after Beauty and the Beast that Aladdin introduced a more modern sensibility and humor with the performances of Robin Williams and Gilbert Gottfried that all subsequent Disney movies have tried to ape that have killed the timelessness of Disney. I love Aladdin and The Lion King, but Beauty and the Beast was really the last Disney movie that truly felt like a timeless story while still reaching the heights of the modern Disney story. It's wondrous and beautiful.

Seriously go rewatch Aladdin and tell me that the Genie still holds up the same as he did when you were a kid. As much nostalgia as I have for the Genie he was kind of the original sin for modern Disney.
