Finally someone mentioned Return to Oz! Would be on my top 4 too, such a underrated, creepy as hell movie
I have seen some clips that look dark and awesome. More appealing than Wizard of Oz.
**Pushes up glasses**
The Johnny B. Goode scene absolutely has a purpose in that story. It is a payoff to a setup in the first 10 minutes of the movie. When Marty auditions for the talent show, he is turned away for being “too darn loud” (Thanks Huey Lewis!) After this, Jennifer tells Marty not to care what other people think and to send his tape to the record label. (I love the 80s) But Marty replies, “I don’t think I could take that kind of rejection” ( ua-cam.com/video/eqwrUUAMrdY/v-deo.html) We then learn that his father struggled with that same fear of rejection in regards to people reading his science fiction stories. Something Marty never even knew about his father because, like Marty, he also struggles with putting himself out there. ( ua-cam.com/video/cZ7XXrRhXgI/v-deo.html )
Fast-forward to Enchantment Under the Sea. Marty has to face his fear of rejection by playing guitar to save himself from being erased. Once George kisses her after sticking up for himself, Marty is forever changed. Their love story is forever changed. Marty still has to change and learn something. This is when Marty plays Johnny B. Goode. We now show that he has conquered the struggle established before we ever saw a Time Machine. Marty plays that song for himself because that is the Journey he needs to overcome. The icing on the cake; George also learns this through Marty when he becomes an author of science fiction novels-the stories he would never share with anyone.

***Preparing for the comments to remind me to never speak up about something like this because I’m not sure that I can take that kind of internet rejection***
Yes. One of the best original scripts ever written for a movie. No wonder it was nominated for an Oscar because of it
a very fun list, can’t wait to watch The People’s Joker!!
brilliant selection!
So excited for her Nightmare On Elm Street movie to be made
Love how casual she is when talking about Mr. Skin.
@@joekerry741 She*, and you wonder why your comments were deleted...
@DarrenNguyen-pc4ir My comments were removed because people can't handle the truth
Nice. Interesting eclectic bunch of picks!
THIS A GOOD PIECE
hey letterboxd why don't you keep a closer eye on your comment section
thanks letterboxd ilu
Oh noes, did you cry in a fetal position for the entire day because you read something you disagree with?
@@dopecat4012Sounds like you’re projecting, my guy
Bruh who cares just grow thicker skin
These are great! Is there still no way for me to watch The People's Joker? I've known about it for years after it got pulled from that film festival, but I think it's had a resurgence lately in popularity?
if you live in the US, the tour dates are listed in the description, it's in theaters/coming soon right now!
Oh damn now that you mention it i do see some of that asylum opening from Return to Oz in your Arkham
I love her and I want to be her. More trans directors. ❤
@@itzbp9949 Do you want to be the kind of person who loves movies, the most empathetic art form, or do you want to be the kind who goes out of their way to try to hurt strangers? You can keep doing both, but it feels better to pick one.
@@joekerry741 You're more obsessed with pronouns than the trans community mate.
Why
@@OhmicFoamy It's called trolling. Of course they're seeking it out. Cinephiles (especially the Letterboxd kind) tend not to be bigoted Neanderthals.
@@OhmicFoamy They're obsessed with us. It's creepy.
David Lynch is a what ? 😅
Exactly my reaction. David Lynch likes women, thats been pretty clear
two wrongs dont make a right
Letterboxd why have you removed my comments? They was neither offensive or inappropriate, I see you like to silence the truth and free speech no longer exists
Realistically they probably were offensive and inappropriate
Free speech doesn't make you free of consequences. Bigotry is not tolerated here
@gavinhenderson7250 Well you'll never know seeing as they was removed. I honestly don't think they was offensive or inappropriate
@George_Nakhle How would you know either way if my comments was bigoted or not, When they are removed from a public platform
@George_Nakhle @gavinhenderson7250
Do either of you know what Autogynephilia is?
That's was my comments that was removed referenced
