Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Cringed while watching Episode VII, but I liked this
I'll be brief. This installment is good enough for me to be wanting to see again The Force Awakens in the future (already an achievement by itself).
I thought Episode VII had been written by a ten-years old on some of his most uninspired days (and still think), but the plot advance in this and the (partially-)filled gaps manage to make the previous movie - if not agreeable - at least bearable.
Don't be mistaken, there will still be those scenes in The Last Jedi that make you go "pff" (not many, to be honest, or not as many as they've accustomed us to), but the (good) twists and the feeling of "awesomeness" that some of the scenes provide might be said to make this a nice entry in the Star Wars saga.
I warn you, don't be spoilered or you'll be doomed.
Perhaps there's nothing really unexpectable here, but it's in the execution and in the details that any presumed quality resides.
Princes et princesses (2000)
Surprisingly original
When you watch an animation you usually don't expect such a thing as "Princes et Princesses". Basically this movie is a collection of tiny animations (six in total) whose plots align to those of ancient tales. So we're presented with several "topoi" (mainly involving princes and princesses), as well as cultural settings (ancient Egypt and Japan to name two). In the end, it is just like a transposition/adaption of good stories written in the past, all packed in one robust animation.
The overall idea being good, drawings look simple but original, and you may even say that a new style of making animations began with the assembling of this movie.
This is also going to be a great view for your kids, in case you have any.
