Mad Max: Fury Road and practically every film JJ Abrams has ever made including The Force Awakens.
Mad Max: Fury Road was edited by Margaret Sixel, who is married to George Miller and who he begged to edit the film because he said that if a man edited it, would be a totally different movie and not one he wanted to make.
Maryann Brandon and Mary Jo Markey edited The Force Awakens. Maryann Brandon has worked on almost all of the shows and films Abrams has worked on and Mary Jo Markey is also a frequent collaborator.
Thelma Colbert Schoonmaker has edited all of Martin Scorcese’s films since Raging Bull and worked with him for around 40 years.
Sally Menke edited all of Quentin Tarantino’s films until her tragic death in 2010.
Julia Bloch is an editor gaining attention for her work on Blue Ruin and Green Room.
about 40% of Hollywood editors are women. when discussing how these women are underrepresented, you need to give their names.
The eternally underappreciated Marcia Lucas is why Star Wars is a franchise at all. Her work made A New Hope as good as it is.
i’ve been asked this a lot: what horror movies would you recommend to people who try to stay away from the genre in general, for whatever reason? some people don’t enjoy being scared, some people find horror too unrealistic and outlandish, and some people don’t enjoy the repetitive tropes that are admittedly often present in horror films.
that being said, when i do give people recommendations for horror movies to dip their toe into, they’re often the same ones, or very similar ones. so i’ve gathered them here today, in case my horror loving followers have any friends who ask them the same questions, but aren’t sure of how to answer.

Also, if you don’t like jumpscares, try watching John Carpenter’s The Thing.
I don’t think there’s any in the whole movie, and it’s a masterpiece of suspense and really amazing practical effects.
I don’t like horror movies and I love like, half the movies on this list.
honestly monty python and the holy grail is just a dnd session w/ really uncooperative players and a dm who worked really hard on a campaign but gave up halfway through
