10 Most Wildly Entertaining Movies that are Great to Watch Alone – Maimovie
2021-06-28
The Cannes Film Festival is just around the corner (July 6 to 17), but Maimovie isn’t all that excited about it. While these celebrations of film—Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Oscars—are exciting to watch and provide solid recommendations for what movies to watch, these decisions and awards are based on the aesthetic standards of an oligarchy of few select men. That is not very democratic. Far from it.
Like its name, Cannes is supposed to be celebration—a festival—of film: the art of it, the craft, the content and creativity and effort that goes into this modern medium. But often unmentioned in these festivities are the kinds of expectations and thresholds Cannes—and other film festivals—set on the notion of film. Implicitly, through their selections, choices, decisions, and commentaries, festivals and awards like the Palme d’Or and Grand Prix dictate what movies are supposed to be like, and what movies should aim to do. For example, they claim that movies should be avant-garde and revolutionary, but also not too out there (and for Cannes, it is preferrable that the French language be the main language of dialogue).
But that’s not really the case for everyone; in fact, the general public might prefer completely different genres, or have widely varied expectations. It’s not really fair for these highbrow festivals to dictate what movies are good (and not as good). Maimovie understands this inherent inequality in the filmmaking industry and believes that the film-watching experience should be a democratic process. And this starts, right here, with our Keytalk AI, which trawls through millions of reviews, ratings, and comments on the web and provides its users with custom-made, detailed recommendations—free of the bias and snobbery of film festivals.
But in case you did want to brush up on your “Cannes Award Winner” movies (especially ones that are “truly magnificent” to watch) Maimovie does offer a category just for that. After all, they are good movies—there’s no denying that. Unlike the actual festival, however, our rankings are based on your taste; we also offer a wide selection of People’s Taste Awards, judged by the public. So, enjoy these Cannes award-winning films, ranked by you, just for you, powered by Maimovie’s Keytalk AI.
