The Swordsman of All Swordsmen 

That feeling in your gut which tells you that there’s something out there you should look for and make your own, is what the power represents

Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian. 

"His Girl Friday" set the bar for romcoms and gave us a feminist heroine before feminism was cool.

Poor Black characters are usually surrounded by crime and violence, while poor White characters are portrayed as noble and hard-working.

Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion is a fan-favorite, as are some of the more science fiction angled movies like 28 Days Later or World War Z. I recently watched the 1995 Wolfgang Peterson-directed movie, Outbreak for the first time, which is currently available on Netflix.
