best waititi is still what we do in the shadows (but i am exceedingly biased because it is the most "local to me" humour imaginable. absolutely just the most nz film)

It's phenomenal. Great film in pretty much every way.

I also liked it a lot. Way better than the director's Thor movies.

This exactly. I'm sure our top 5 is different, but I'm happy to quote this and agree at it being a strong year and also our #6!

That person is the dullest tool in the shed. It is literally the opposite of that.

Jojo Rabbit is great, though it came out in the year Endgame did so it's not my number one of the year. And it is definitely not my favorite Taika Waititi movie. I got a lot more fun out of Thor Ragnarok and What We Do in the Shadows, and Hunt For the Wilderpeople is his best imo. It's a damn shame Love and Thunder was so meh.

Oh, and there was one thing that bothered me while watching Jojo Rabbit. Imaginary Hitler keeps trying to get the kid to smoke, though real Hitler was very anti-tobacco and ran a prominent campaign against smoking. So much so that Germans were, at least for a time, pretty resistant to modern smoking bans.

I didnt know that about hitler and smoking. But even knowing that, Im ok with thinking of a 10yo being so extremely impressionable with regards to smoking. Especially in this movie where the entire reason for imaginary hitler is the kids navet

In hindsight I don't know that I keep Endgame quite that high but I was very hyped at the time

Parasite is great, i forgot it came out that year. Lighthouse is on my list! Endgame is amazing for what it is culturally but Jojo Rabbit beats it out as a single movie imo. Ill check out the others

I mean, yeah, but it took me out of the movie a bit. The Nazis actually ran the first anti-tobacco campaign in history and if that kid was really living in that time he'd have been well aware of it. It's a minor gripe, but it really did mess with my suspension of disbelief.

Parasite and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood were the movies I was thinking of, but I forgot Knives Out came out that year. I guess I'd put Jojo Rabbit fourth then. Damn, what a year.

Waititi admitted he didn't do any research into Hitler since he thought he didn't deserve a historically accurate portrayal. Doesn't help Waititi is himself Jewish.

I remember I was thinking of watching it in 2022, but by the time I was ready it was no longer on Netflix so I just watched Wonder Woman instead. I did end up catching The Northman on TV at my brother's suggestion and really liked it though.
