The Thing (1982)

with Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, Keith David

The relentless paranoia, visceral body horror, and still-amazing-fourty-years-later practical effects add up to a fantastic movie that does not allow you even a minute to catch your breath.

Arrival (2016)

with Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker

Arrival presents one of the most expertly crafted science-fiction movies I've ever seen, using outstanding cinematography, a flawless score, and breathtaking creature design to tell a story about humanity that unexpectedly brought me to tears at the end.
