   FLAWLESS (1999) Dir. Joel Schumacher

   My rating: 5/5 stars (It’s rare for me to dislike late 90s films— even when they’re kinda bad).

   MALLRATS (1995) Dir. Kevin Smith

   My rating: 4.5/5 stars but I think it’s a personal 5/5 stars now. Big Cellphone took our shopping malls and we have suffered as a result! Or something.

   SINGLES (1992) Dir. Cameron Crowe

   My rating: 3/3 stars. It’s a fine movie but nothing to write home about, and likely more enjoyable when watched with friends. Some characters were boring and it was difficult to engage in their storylines. However, I do love the film for what it intended to do.

   CECIL B. DEMENTED (2000) Dir. John Waters

   My rating: 5/5 stars. I’ll admit I’ve had my issues with John Waters where cinematic ethics are concerned but I absolutely adore his sense of humor and eye for trashy couture. This is the newest addition to my Letterboxd top 4— BONES & ALL has been dethroned!
