Speed Racer is a legit masterpiece

👍

Jupiter Ascending lacks oomph, and it always feels like it's trying to crib notes from more developed, non-cinematic works.

I cannot blame them. I could feel the film fundamentally change multiple people in the room permanently.

Speed Racer !

The Matrix is one of the greatest movies ever made. I think part of it was due to the fast approaching new millennium and belief in religion was declining. It may be a trans allegory, but at that time, it brought the idea of living in a simulation to the forefront. And RATM at the end!

For me, it's in a certain way part of the Matrix franchise Especeially with that easter egg in Resurrections' first trailer

I love Matrix but Cloud Atlas is one of my favorite movies ever

My comment was about sci-fi, but my question was about their works :)

Bound

The Matrix is one of my favorite comfort movies. I love it so much and it was so inspiring.

This is a bit niche but the Wachowskis wrote the intros to each issue of this back in 2004. The artist Geoff Darrow was a production designer on the Matrix movies and to a lesser extent Speed Racer.It was published by Burlyman Entertainment,a Wachoski company.

I only saw 5mins of the movie and then left😁

Cloud Atlas is one of those movies that I went to see while knowing every little about it and then when I left the theater I was still stuck in the movie for a while. I enjoyed the Matrix and Jupiter Ascending was fun but Cloud Atlas is the one that left the biggest impression on me

This one 💖

Speed Racer. It’s the rare thing that captures the original perfectly and still somehow improves on it.

It also features Weird Al Yankovic playing a fictionalized version of himself called Normal Al, in a relationship with a fictionalized version of Julia Sweeney.

I want to watch it again.

Cloud Atlas is my personal favourite, but Speed Racer may be the Sisters' best work. Whenever I teach the Matrix, I teach it as the critical bridge film between the Blockbuster 1990s and the CGI 2000s, and that's a huge technical/structural achievement.

I've enjoyed every Wachowski project I've seen, but some favourites would be The Matrix Quadrilogy (yes, all of them), Sense8 (wish there was more), and Speed Racer (like taking drugs in a roller coaster with a solid anti-capitalist message)

I was in love. I miss this show sooooo much. I need this connection.

I’d have to go with V for Vendetta. They were producers or executive producers, but you could definitely see their fingerprints all over that film.

Cloud Atlas is a masterpiece and I'll fight* anyone who says otherwise. *frown at, disapprovingly

Sense8 is one of my favorite shows ever

Speed Racer, without question. It's just too good. While it's not sci-fi, Bound is still #2 on the list, and you can see so much of what goes into The Matrix in there, from the camera choices, the music, to the presence of Joey Pants.

Gotta go with Speed Racer. So silly, over the top, so emotionally sincere. Exactly my kind of movie film.

We need more shows like it.

They are extremely underrated, Cloud Atlas is a masterpiece IMO

I don't think Cloud Atlas really works, but I SO admire the chutzpah it took to attempt to adapt that book. They did a far better job than most would have.

Speed Racer is criminally underappreciated. Also, even though they just wrote it and didn't direct, V for Vendetta is (while depressingly prescient) an absolute masterpiece of a film. I lowkey hate that it's imagery got hijacked by some of the worst types of people.

People really need to speak on Speed Racer with way more respect.

Sense8, co-created and co-run by JMS (of Babylon V and She-Ra fame) was epic

I just loved the colorful and over the top Speed Racer.

I really loved that movie. "Your world is a very small part of a very big business" Great soundtrack too. We got into trouble from the neighbours once for watching it too loud. We got a note under the door because we didn't hear them knock.

And I wish Sense8 had gotten more seasons.

I think the world of Jupiter could have used a lot of spinoff material. I think the universe has a lot of interesting concepts to explore, it’s a shame it flopped.
