Cinephile (15/15): 15 Movies That Changed My Life — Natetheworld natetheworld.squarespace.com/natetheworld...

In the end, “Megadoc” is a captivating documentary. It did not make me like “Megalopolis” anymore. Instead, it broke my heart. Making movies is hard. It involves thousands of attempts at solving complex practical and artistic challenges. That any movie gets made is a miracle.

One of the absolute highlights of my time spent in Los Angeles was an evening spent with Rob Reiner. I could have spent the rest of my life listening to him talk about movies, television, and politics.

This is an annual reminder to my fellow writers, critics, and creators. You don't need to create Worst of the Year lists. Instead, spend your energy celebrating art and human creativity. We can and should be a force for good.

In 2025, I had a monster year (for me) in between the covers. With a few weeks to go, I have read 32 books so far this year. These 13 books will help me get 2026 started. If you've read any of them, please let me know your thoughts.
