My kid was recently in a production of the Lion King and doodled an alternate version.
The happy flying baby an early contender for my favorite comic panel of 2026.

Recommendation #7: Crossfire (1947)
Yes, the commercial for the 90's board game is now playing in my head.
Anyway, this is an interesting little noir that is very clearly trying to tackle homophobia while staying within the bounds of the Hayes Code.

Recommendation #6: To Be or Not to Be (1942)
I can't emphasize enough how inexplicable it is to me that this movie was made when it was made, that it somehow works, and that it and holds up 80+ years later.
Not officially streaming for free anywhere but is available on Youtube and the like.

Recommendation #5: Peking Opera Blues (1986)
A very fun collision of genres and that has a lot on its mind, terrific action set pieces, and deeply silly antics.
This is free on Tubi, the best streaming service!

Recommendation #4: Supermarket Women (1996).
This isn't officially streaming anywhere else, but poke around on Youtube et al...
I was originally going to just recommend Tampopo, but I don't need to deal with the phone call I'd get after the egg kiss scene. Plus, this movie is so fun.

Recommendation #3: Terror of Mechagodzila (1974)
This is free on Tubi, but probably best viewed on a scratchy VHS tape of questionable provenance.

First up: In the Mood for Love (2001)
I watched this for free on Kanopy, which you should definitely add to your streaming rotation if you have a library card and/or work in academia.

I spearheaded dinner for thirty…
2 Turkeys (dry brined of course)
Stuffing
Green bean casserole
Sweet potato casserole
Tons of gravy
Cranberry sauce
Mashed potatoes
Squash for some reason
Dutch apple pie
(Plus a few things I didn’t make)
All from scratch
An unconscionable amount of butter

One of my favorite things about doing photography is how my favorite photos are almost always completely accidental.
