The Fault in Our Stars 2014
it’s absolutely impossible for me to be impartial about this movie because tfios pretty much defined the entirety of my adolescence and also made me wanna be a writer so know that i am rating with my heart instead of my head and please respect that ❤️

Civil War 2024
haven’t actually rewatched this yet, but i slept on it and read a lot of great writing and woke up pretty pro-civil war (the movie not the conflict itself fyi).
