Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2c2t2v Mutant Mayhem, 2023 - ★★★

Thu, 22 May 2025 14:51:14 +1200

4v291o

Animated movie with origin story of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Animation work is frentic and innovative character design must be praised. The first half hour is very promising, with both cute and dark humour moments. Unfortunately, from the establishsment of the partnership of the foursome with April O'Neil on, the movie worsens a lot. Until the end there is a lot of silliness, terrible dialogues, and some pretty stupid ideas such as the way they adopted their names (with no relation to the Renaissance artists!). I began with good expectations but it turned out to be a serious disappointment.

Mighty Mouse in the Great Space Chase 282j2q 1982 - ★★★★

Wed, 21 May 2025 16:47:28 +1200

Charming and funny Filmation animated feature film where the most powerful mouse in the universe has a great space adventure in order to avoid the feline triumph of evil. Lovely and actually amusing. If there were a ranking of scientifically absurd sci-fi films, it would be a serious contender for reaching the top place, what is also funny.

Wed, 21 May 2025 15:11:16 +1200

The film has ups and downs, alternating between good (either comical or dramatic) moments and unfunny ones, between smart details and pure cheesy cliché, between good acting and silly scenes. On average, outcome is nice enough, besides being a well intentioned flick.

The Ugly Stepsister y1n3q 2025 - ★★★★

Tue, 20 May 2025 17:07:42 +1200

Norwegian (co-produced with Denmark, Romania, Poland and Sweden) unique faiytale movie. Unlike most adaptations of Cinderella fairytale, Emilie Blichfeldt's is mostly based in the brothers Grimm' version and not in Perrault's. While it is a dark humoured drama, it brings many elements of body horror and scatology, besides fantastic realism (not pure fantasy as recurrently in Cinderella tales). It deviates from Manichaeism, portraying Cinderella far from being a pure angel (despite being abused indeed, she does not have many moments of empathy), her father is ambitious, the prince is disgusting, and, well, the stepmother is as mean as always, but her daughters are much more nuanced than usual. Beneath all the dirtiness in the film, there is also an implicit critique towards patriarchy, with (besides many other scenes of misogyny) that ridiculous ball where girls offer themselves as if they were goods and aiming to marry a rich man as the goal of their lives. The arc of the leading character (who is not Cinderella, as you certainly noticed by the title) is a harsh and depressing drama, perfectly portrayed. Indeed, direction, cinematography, edition, makeup, acting, everything works well.

Mädchen können kein Fußball spielen 5am2n 2025 - ★★★★

Sat, 17 May 2025 16:47:00 +1200

Beautiful German documentary on women's football resistence against widespread prejudice in that country. With amazing footage and very nice interviews, the well made film shows how dire was decades-length macho mockery and prohibition against female footballers, and how resilient and skilled players could overcome them. It is beautiful to see those old or middle age women's testimonies about their experiences and feelings interwined with footage of those very players in historical moments of sport. It was also interesting that the movie shows both sides of , with the lack of following different paths but with a similar outcome: while in the Western side It was just the basic stupid sexism that expects women to be weak and stay in the kitchen, in the Eastern side there was no interest in boosting women's football because there would be no olympic medal and sports were viewed primarily as a propaganda vehicle. It is curious to see how , a country which would be so successful in women's football, imposed until so late many constraints to the girls who wanted to play. Against all the difficulties, they succeding providing many beautiful plays shown in the footage! Decades afterwards, stupid sexism against women's football is shamefully still strong nowadays, as everyone can always see by reading hate speech in the comments in social network.

Itaperuna Esporte Clube 171z5u A Águia do Noroeste, 2025 - ★★★★½

Fri, 16 May 2025 16:17:43 +1200

Excellent documentary about the rise and fall of a small team from a small tall in Rio de Janeiro state. The edition is nice, there is great game footage, and the interviews are fantastic, with hilarious testimonies. The documentary is very informative, with a very good research, and is extremely amusing too, not only for the nostalgy of Rio football in the 1980s and 1990s, but also because there are numerous remarkable anecdotes. I never noticed that there could have been an unimaginable rivalry between Itaperuna and Remo! By he way, I loved Porto Alegre's kit!

Viventes 2u2f6n 2024 - ★★★★

Fri, 16 May 2025 15:01:49 +1200

Social political surrealism with elements of fantastic comedy horror. There are three connected stories of people in vulnerable social and labour situations. There are funny moments, great surprises, innovative elements, and an important social critique. The fact that sometimes it is supernatural, and other times it is oneiric, did not work so well in my opinion, despite all three being good segments. I also missed a stronger link than the presence of the unemployed boy. The movie is nice, anyway.

Fri, 16 May 2025 14:18:13 +1200

I missed footage of the final match, only the town and fanbase were portrayed. Except for that, the documentary is well produced, but I considered it had a tepid outcome. The team seemed less interesting than I expected given its success coming from a tiny town, and the testimonies of the interviewees did not provide great stories either.

My Grandfather 2n235i Ice Champion - ★★★½

Fri, 16 May 2025 12:21:10 +1200

The documentary is about the director's grandfather who has been football player in Atlético Mineiro and "champion of ice" in an European tournée. Well, the first part of the title is well explored, and spectator does know about who was that man, and there are some funny moments (the former player's sister must be highlighted). However, there is almost nothing about the pioneer campaign of Atlético Mineiro in . Testimonies are more worried about crying for past defeats than about giving more information about the tournament that is mentioned in the club's anthem. Therefore, the title is misleading.

Alma e Corpo de uma Raça 6j4j6q 1938 - ★★★★

Thu, 15 May 2025 16:07:41 +1200

The film is a priceless audiovisual relic, which made me feel deeply moved. Off course it is far from a great narrative flick, but its footage and documentary elements not only have good quality (congrats for cinematographers Afrodisio Pereira de Castro and José Stamato, and camaraman Ruy Santos) but also have an outstanding importance for the history of Brazilian sport and for recording life in Rio de Janeiro in the 1930s. The plot is a romantic comedy with a love triangle story which is merged with the transition from amateur to professional football. There was also the transition from silent to sound cinema, and one of the drawbacks is precisely terrible acting (which turned to produce unintentional gags, besides the sometimes funny intended ones). The fact that a great part of the movie was shot outdoor, and not only inside the studio as was so common in the first half of XXth century, is one of the reasons the film is so precious despite its problems. Spectator sees Rio de Janeiro streets with few cars and crossed by tram rails. Besides that, there are several scenes of sports, mainly football but not only, and of players and athletes, mostly from Flamengo but also from Fluminense, including extremely famous and important ones. They do not appear in static photographs, but actually training, playing, talking in the changing room, and even singing and playing instruments (unfortunately, the sound of the latter scene is currently lost). Stars like “black diamond” Leônidas da Silva, “divine master” Domingos da Guia, and “black arrow” Jarbas appear in detail, among others who I could not identify. There is a match in Gávea Stadium when its structure was still being built (indeed, the movie was partially produced by Flamengo and its grossing was used to finance the building of the very stadium!). In that match scene it was possible to see Lagoon Rodrigo de Freitas very near the field, and it is very special because of a particular event which was remarkable: the lagoon used to be larger, before an artificial increase of the land area around it, and it was closer to the stadium; in a derby that Fluminense was winning, the thre-coloured players shoot the ball intentionally several times into the water in order to have the time advancing and then avoiding a reaction of Flamengo. Although it was a different match, the scene made it easy to understand how the famous Lagoon Fla-Flu happened! There is also in the movie a long and detailed scene of a match of the Fla-Flu derby, held in Laranjeiras Stadium (Fluminense’s), and it is possible to see it in various angles, including the box office. The movie also shows Flamengo’s old headquarters, a building that does not exist anymore, in Flamengo neighborhood (now Flamengo’s headquarters are placed in Gávea, where the aforementioned stadium is located). The historical movie also shows athletes of Flamengo from other sports, such as rowing, athletics (racing, jumping and throwing), swimming, and even wrestling! I am very grateful for Cinédia and Cinemateca Brasileira for restoring the movie, and for CineFOOT festival for screening it. I hope I will be able to watch it many times more, and notice more details and identify more past idols of Flamengo. By the way, it was originally released on Flamengo and Proclamation of the Republic anniversary, and had a special screening for president Getúlio Vargas and other authorities.

Eleven Tomorrows g731r Berlinale Meets Football, 2024 - ★★★½

Thu, 15 May 2025 12:18:55 +1200

German anthology movie with short films on varied sides of football. While they are not extraordinary, they are well produced and share the interesting approach of exploring each issue from inside. There are blind football, female teams with foreign players, a left-wing team in a town full of fascists, and so forth. Nice experience, I felt interested in following some of those teams.

I never knew that Puskás had lived and worked in Australia, and it is nice that there is a documentary about it. However, while the film has funny moments, on average it is a little tepid. There is perhaps too much detail about the matches, but relatively little about the ethnic context and other interesting issues. Anyway, one of the best things in the movie is how spectator could know a lot about Puskás's mood, personality, grimaces.

Mon, 12 May 2025 10:21:50 +1200

The film has good acting, art direction, cinematography, and is well produced. It is actually a nice film, but there is a problem in the script. Many things happen and are not well explained, the reasons for Rommell's mother (good performance for the actress) are not clear enough. The way Cabezón turns to be El Panzer is shown too much in a hurry. To resume, the good production deserved a tighter script.

Innovative Italian documentary in Spanish. Perhaps it would have been nicer if it brought more footage of inside the stadium and of those dark days. Anyway, the text is clever and strong, and innovation appears in the choice of who is the narrator, as spectator soon notices. FIFA never loses an opportunity to be in the wrong side, and the film is a homage to the victims of the coward coup lead by Pinochet.

Almir Pernambuquinho is an amazing character in Brazilian football, and a documentary about him is very welcome. There is some good footage and pictures, but I would like them to be much more. There are also nice stories and research, but information is a little disorganized and interviews did not always have a great outcome. I think that a more chronological narrative would work better.

The Best of Enemies 3qs9 2019 - ★★★★★

Fri, 9 May 2025 14:36:16 +1200

What a great film! It is simple, but deep, strong, and carefully developed throughout its length. The characters's arc is built coherently as they are forced to cohabitate the same space instead of isolating themselves from each other. Acting is very good for the entire casting, but the leading roles must be highlighted: Sam Rockwell has an amazing performance, so complex and convincing, and Taraji P. Henson also goes very well, with a strong presence. Script and direction (Robin Bissell's directorial debut!) are very effective in bringing to the big screen a very beautiful and remarkable story which actually happened in real life. The two last scenes are very moving and make sure that this is a very special movie.

Batman 3d3053 Gotham Knight, 2008 - ★★★½

Thu, 8 May 2025 16:59:47 +1200

US-Japanese-Korean animated anthology movie about Batman. The segments have very different tiles and are independent of each other (or loosely connected), but together they explore the iconic traits of the dark knight.
While the first episode, Have I Got a Story for You, has a very nice plot, playing on the Gotham knight's mystique, I seriously desliked its bizarre drawing style. (3 stars)
The second episode, Crossfire, has a much nicer animation, and there the debate about Batman is also in the core (not among skateboarders, as in previous segment, but between cop parterns), until the dark knight's action answers the question. (4 stars)
The third, Field Test, has a good animation in a very Japanese style, and some excellent dialogues (one by Bruce Wayne about the murder of an activist and another about a date, and other dialogue by Batman about mobsters' territories), but it is mostly sluggish and confusing. (3 stars )
The fourth, In Darnkess Dwells, has a very innovative animation, an expressionist one. Batman investigator and bat-gadgets are both explored in a neo-noir atmosphere, where the dark night fights two classic bat-villains. (4 stars)
The fifth, Working Through Pain, has a very nice concept, showing Batman in serious trouble interwined with past moments in Bruce Wayne's life in which he learned useful lessons about how to deal with such painful situations. (4 stars)
The last, Deadshot, consistent animation (which mixes styles but partially reminds painture) follows Batman facing the nicest batvillain in this movie, a quite charismatic one. (4 stars)

Universal Soldier 1z6r5x 1992 - ★★★★

Tue, 6 May 2025 16:13:41 +1200

Certainly one of the best movies with Jean-Claude Van Damme (I know it is not that much, but this is a compliment!). There are some plot holes in the middle, and clichés seem to multiply in the last moments of the film. However, it is still a very entertaining action sci-fi (and superhero, although never mentioned as that; and road movie, and horror sometimes) flick. There are both nice action and funny gags, and Ally Walker makes a good partner for the good-hearted universal soldier GR44. There is also a great rivalry and mouse-cat duel with vicious GR-13 (Lundgren's top character after Ivan Drago and - perhaps - He-Man?). I did enjoy this.

Adultery Brazilian Style bm3d 1969 - ★★★★

Mon, 5 May 2025 17:16:15 +1200

This antology movie is certainly the best made by Pedro Carlos Rovai. The first segment, The roof, is is a drama of a working class man who is cheated by his wife when he is in the factory. The story is very simples, but cinematography, art direction and acting (particularly Sérgio Hingst in the leading role) are really well done. Poor Zé…
The second segment, The signature, has an interesting contrast with the former. While the first portrayed the working class, this one portrays very rich people, but the issue of unfaithfulness is, offcourse, cross-class (and obviously not only amatter of cheating wives). The way the film explored more thoughts than dialogues was funny (and so was the yoga teacher, although he was completely unnecessary to the story. In the end, unfaithfulness was not the core of the segment, differently from the previous one.
The third and last segment, The recipe, portrays middle class. Interestingly, in all segments, although it is mentioned only in this one, the patriarchy is the norm, and only the husband has a job, and the woman stays at home (and is responsible for housework in the first and third segments; in the second there are obviously many employees to do it). The husband (Mário Benvenutti) wants his beautiful wife (played by Romenian actress Jacqueline Myrna) to say at home, and is a womanizer outside (all his colleagues in office have the same mood, but he is the worst). The scenes portraying his imagination are funny Well, perhaps his absence will not be felt as a problem in the neighborhood...

Lima Barreto ao Terceiro Dia p426l 2019 - ★★★½

Mon, 5 May 2025 14:44:27 +1200

I liked both the idea of representing two different moments of Lima Barreto's life, either separated or merged,and of portraying Policarpo Quaresma (and other characters from the novel, such as Ismênia, Adelaide, General Albernaz, and Felizardo). However, despite this narrative innovation in script, outcome is a little flat. The film also looks more like a theatre play, due a lot of overacting. The fact that different actors portray Lima Barreto in each moment is quite weird, given the fact that one happens when he was 30 years old (writing O triste fim de Policarpo Quaresma) and the other one when he was in a sanatorium for the last time (just 8 years afterwards!). Luís Miranda was 52 years old when playing 38 years old Lima Barreto (while Sidney Santiago Kuanza, the actor who played Lima Barreto when he was 30 years old, was actually 37 years old!). Besides that bizarre problem of casting and the irregular acting, pace also has ups and downs. The best moments are by far the ones in which Policarpo Quaresma interacts with Felizardo, very funny and smart ones (well... that is Lima Barreto himself!).

Monsieur Lazhar 6h2lw 2011 - ★★★★

Sun, 4 May 2025 17:47:59 +1200

Beautiful and sensitive movie, addressing many issues (from suicide to cultural differences, from education to politics for immigrnats...), with various deep and well built characters (children included). There are many windows which are opened and never closed, but there is no problem. They all compose the complexities of life in society, and the intereactions of individuals with so many experiences, expectations, trauma, wishes. Off course the arc of Bashir Lazhar is in the core, and perhaps that window was closed. However, how many more windows has he opened?

Joker 4194o Folie à Deux, 2024 - ★★★½

Sat, 3 May 2025 16:39:26 +1200

While I watched Joker: Folie à Deux, I thought that bad ratings were very unfair and were due people usually react badly to unusual narrative in cinema, and I was enjoying it. In the end, I still thought it is very underrated, but I also considered that many bad ratings could have been motivated by anger. Why? Because, although not a masterpiece as the first film, this movie was going pretty well, until it had one of the worst and most frustrating endings I have ever seen. If we could consider the movie only until a little before the last moments of the trial, it would deserve easily a four-star rating. The musical genre is a strange choice, for sure, but it did work, as both main characters are crazy and performatic. The dark visual of the film is beautiful and fits very well the dramatic plot. The scenes of situations imagined by Arthur are perhaps the best representation of the Joker ever. Charming letterings were nice and represented well the showbiz environment the Joker intended to enter. The animated opening scene was a great surprise and worked well as an abstract of the core issue of the movie. Lady Gaga worked well, as always, but it was Joaquin Phoenix who once more had a brilliant performance. His facial expressions, his baffling thinness, his body work... everything is striking. Harley Quinn was a well built character, and the initial apparent plot holes eventually proved not to exist. Dialogues are well written, in the ambiguous path crossing humor and drama. The trial was also very nice, with great moments, until everything went badly in its terrible completion and the incoherent sequence of events that followed it, leading to my serious disappointment. That was really a shame, and a pity. An awful joke.

Fri, 2 May 2025 16:32:41 +1200

A great sci-fi movie! Very smart, with extraordinary script, a good exploration of the borders between humans and machines, and possibly the best ending. Alicia Vikander is striking as the robot, Domhnall Gleeson has a deep performance in the leading role, and, above all, Oscar Isaac is wonderful playing his unpleasant role, who is responsible for making spectator always be unconforbable and uncertain about what is actually going on. Besides all that, art direction and visual effects are great.

Luiz Carlos Lacerda's documentary about the best Brazilian filmmaker ever, Nelson Pereira dos Santos, focused in how Rio de Janeiro is represented in his filmography, with good analysis by film critic Rodrigo Fonseca. Nelson is so amazing that just seeing few excerpts of his movies, particularly Rio Zona Norte and Rio 40 Graus, is enough to get emotional.

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 18:42:05 +1200

Very amusing Mickey Mouse musical short film in Middle Ages. The general plot is cliché and predictable, but the film is very charming due the specific details that are present along its eight minutes. Mickey is a minstrel who converts humself in a folk improvised cavalier in order to save princess Minnie from an undesirable wedding, imposed by her father the King of Kalapazoo, who is not a mouse! Interestingly, his rival and fiancé is Goofy, in a different version: he is not a friend of Mickey, but is prince of Poopapadoo, and his name (before being renamed in later and current version) is Dippy Dawg. I loved the fight, the armours, the guillotine, and the feast.

O Menino das Estrelas 5y1e70 2019 - ★★★

Sun, 27 Apr 2025 16:56:25 +1200

"Starboy", or "O menino das estrelas", has an interesting plot. It is a kind of Southern Brazilian "Carrie", but with mentions to the X-Men and to professor Charles Xavier (both in the name of the school and in the toy), but unfortunately it seem unfinished. There is a clear and serious situation of bullying, the mother is not attentive, the teacher starts to notice that the problem exists, the boy acquire energy powers caused by a comet but does not know how to control it, and... well, then the movie ends! Deffinitelly a further development would have been desirable, 23 minutes was not enough.

Little Nemo od67 1911 - ★★★★

Sat, 26 Apr 2025 18:17:09 +1200

In the partnership between pioneer directors and animators J. Stuart Blackton and Winsor McCay, we have here an early short film mixing good animation and live action, representing precisely the latter artist showing how it was possible to put the drawings into movement. It is a nice short film, particularly considering how old it is, but there are two sins that must be mentioned: first of all, there is a problem of pace, with repeated scenes and too much time spent in the opening debate; secondly but more important, there is indeed a racist representation in the drawing, even more evident in the poster. It worth being watched, anyway: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8qow7jTyoM

Very short but intending to adapt Shakespeare's play. Sets and costumes are very nice (despite those ridiculous boots), and the groups of actors together on screen make an impression (despite overacting). The film worsens each time Mark Anthony appears, but the scene with the ghost of Julius Caesar was quite nice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibaKnssWLfc

Stargate 6re2j 1994 - ★★★★

Sat, 26 Apr 2025 17:02:55 +1200

A fine sci-fi movie which is very representative to the 1990s, in both its aesthetics and plot. The first half is very amusing. I liked it much more than its further develpment in the second part,when there is less mystery and the plot solution is not the best according to my taste. Anyway, it is still a nice film. Curiously, Kurt Russel's character, who looks like a live action Guile from Street Fighter, becomes more interesting precisely when the movie advances. On the other hand, the best throughout the film is James Spader as the clumsy cientist, who looks like John Lennon! Viveca Lindfors, cute Mili Avital and Alexis Cruz have nice minor characters. The teleportings in the end are terribly confusing, but in general ending is the predictable one you wish to be confirmed and likes.

América Armada 3z1f1n 2018 - ★★★★

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 22:23:16 +1200

The documentary interwines the depiction of violence and resistence of activists and communities in Medellín, Colombia, Áquila, México, and Rio de Janeiro. In Mexican and Brazilian cases, the state itself is responsible for a significant part of the violence against the poor population. Differently from Colombian and Brazilian cases, in the case of Mexican state of Michoacán popular resistence evolved into communal police or popular militia. The film, with strong journalistic aesthetics and accelerated pace, does not impose a true parallel of the three cases, respecting their specific traits and emphasis. The three realities are equally tragic through their differences, and that is well presented in the movie, composing a of armed violence in Latin America (focusing its largest countries).

The Inheritance 5f2ai 1970 - ★★★★

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 16:33:28 +1200

Extremely interesting and innovative film by Ozualdo Candeias, who adapts Hamlet to Brazilian countryside in a nearly silent movie with inter-titles. Several key moments of Shakespeare's iconic play are adapted in very smart unusual ways, such as the monologue on life and death, the conspiration to murder the main character abroad, and, my favourite moment, the stage taunting the uncle while describing the prior killing scheme. The last part has elements of Western, what is recurrent in Candeias's filmography.

Lady Vaselina 1nf38 1990 - ★★★

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 18:30:02 +1200

It is much more theatre than cinema. The tree actors (future filmmaker Beto Brant among them) have good performances, but Ozualdo Candeias's choice to make the entire short film in close-upseave no space for additional body work, just facial expression and the dialogue by Tennessee Williams. Outcome is not bad, but certainly not remarkable either. More cinema perhaps could explore better the poor living conditions of those characters.

Trilogy of Terror s5j1h 1968 - ★★★

Mon, 21 Apr 2025 16:50:36 +1200

The film is a mess, with many problems, a bad circus beginning, and an even worse middle part inside the magician's boat. However, it does have its interesting moments, such as the nice and very well made cartoon-like car chase, and some gags such as the one with Padre Cícero and the two scenes in a row about clothes and horses. By the way, I was asking myself why the hell the magician was called "magician" if he did not cast a single magic spell (differently from the djinn). However, in the final part he seems to "" that and summons monsters!

The worst superhero movies 🦹🏼‍♂️🧜🏿‍♂️💀🦾 44685g

Wed, 29 Jan 2020 10:18:22 +1300

WARNING: some very popular movies are included in this list, as I strongly dislike the thin screenplays disguised behind visual effects in the formula followed ad nauseum by high-gross Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise (and, with less commercial success, by rival DC Comics). I agree with what Ridley Scott said much time afterwards: "Their scripts are not any fucking good. Why don’t the superhero movies have better stories? Sorry. I got off the rail, but I mean, c’mon. They’re mostly saved by special effects".
Films about supervillains - without superheroes or with them only as minor characters - have also been included in the list. Movies about characters from comic books and graphic novels which I do not consider as superhero movies have not (I liked some of these examples): Constantine, Sin City, Barb Wire, Flash Gordon, The Punisher (2004), Son of the Mask, Jonah Hex, and Andy Warhol's Batman Dracula, for example.
Many non superhero movies portray characters making impossible actions. Therefore, it is not always easy to define a superhero film. I tried to consider it as a movie in which at least one character has obviously superpowers (and uses them for good or for evil) or is a masked vigilante (necessarily disguised). There are here all the superhero movies I have watched and given as a rate 3 stars or less. In the very end of the list, there are two 'dishonorable mentions': 1) "Disaster movie", which could arguably be in the 1st place, but, in spite of showing Hancock, Iron Man, Hellboy, the Hulk, and Batman, I cannot consider it as a superhero movie, and 2) meaningless short spin-off "Groot's Pursuit". Unfortunately, many titles (mainly small budget and independent short films) are not in Letterboxd; therefore, a more encoming list of the worst superhero movies may be seen here: www.imdb.com/list/ls054387859/

Vice Versa k7120 Best body-swap film Showdown challenge

Wed, 17 Aug 2022 11:03:59 +1200

Explanation: "It’s a little-known fact that acting was invented for the body-swap/body-occupant genre, so break out great-granddad’s shoe-stitching machine, hot chicks—it’s time to get freaky. Whether you’re little or big, whether your name is Mona or Shola or Mack or Rita, this Showdown is for you. The rules: two living beings either swapping bodies or sharing the same body for a spell; one human embodying their older or younger self or someone else from the past or future; a brain or a face transplanted; a mind changed; a soul returned to a new vessel on Earth. Confused? It’s easy: cat to human, soul to cat, rich old lady to Steve Martin, Matthew Perry to Zac Efron. I am you, you are me."

Films about supervillains - without superheroes or with them only as minor characters - have also been incuded in the list. Movies about characters from comic books and graphic novels which I do not consider as superhero movies have not (even those I liked): Constantine, Sin City, Barb Wire, Flash Gordon, The Punisher (2004), Joker: Folie à Deux, Son of the Mask, Jonah Hex, and Andy Warhol's Batman Dracula, for example.

I tried to consider it as a movie in which at least one character has obviously superpowers (and uses them for good or for evil) or is a masked vigilante (necessarily disguised).

FLAMENGO 🔴⚫🔴🏴🚩 4p5q3l

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 20:34:04 +1300

The list includes not only films about sports, but also those which show how Flamengo is part of Brazilian culture.
I will add more films as I watch, hear about or . Films in which Flamengo appeared too little, as when an extra wears the jersey or when a poster can be seen once, for instance, have not been included.
P.S.: I've read that there is clearly a flag of Flamengo in the final fight in Grudge Match and a shield of Flamengo in a scene in Rio de Janeiro in The Incredible Hulk, but I don't it and don't know if it is highlighted enough to put them in this list.

Flamengo: A Century of ion
Alma e Corpo de uma Raça
Besides the story, the movie was produced in partnership with the club, and the grossing was used to finance the building of the Gávea Stadium! Priceless documentary scenes from late 1030s!
Satellites
A Turma do Maestro Junior
From Dreams to Tragedy: The Fire that Shook Brazilian Football
Essa Gostosa Brincadeira a Dois
Rio de Jano
O Samba é Meu Dom
In a line of him on his samba school, Império Serrano, Wilson das Neves says: "It is a vice as you cannot imagine. That is a vice. It is like Flamengo. Both are the same, those vices we get. A cannot lose it." ("Isso é uma cachaça, que você não imagina. Isto é uma cachaça. É igual ao Flamengo. É tudo igual: essas cachaças que a gente arruma. Não posso ficar sem ela."). Eventually, he added: “When I say ‘what a luck’, and God understands me, I mean: luck of being Brazilian, Carioca, Flamengo fan, member of Império Serrano, son of my parents, all this is a great luck.” (“O ‘ô, sorte’ que eu digo é um agradecimento, que Deus sabe o que estou dizendo: sorte de ser brasileiro, de ser carioca, de ser Flamengo, de ser Império Serrano, de ser filho de quem eu sou, isso tudo é sorte.”). Afterwards, he reveals that, like him, Garrincha was also a Flamengo fan, and not a fanatic of Botafogo, where he played in the pinnacle of his career.
As Granfinas e o Camelô
Zé Maria, the main character, is a fan of Flamengo and mentioned it several times: firstly. He tried not to be arrested by mentioning to the policemen that Flamengo was doing well; secondly, he described himself as Carioca and er of Flamengo; eventually, he "swore to Saint Zico" as a way to convince his girlfriend that he was telling the truth; in the end, he "swore to Saint Cantarelli" not to go to police station once more.
