Babylon. Everybody hated it, I loved everything about it. The excess, the color, the sprawling epic, the acting, the music. Underrated, underappreciated masterpiece, there will be a re-appraisal at some point.

Babylon is easily one of my top 3 of all time. It was a ride from start to finish.

Exactly, I don't understand why more people don't love it. Mostly because they haven't seen it, probably.

I did catch the NBA using the party music to promote the draft one year. I was like "What is that music, it sounds familiar...," then I realized it was from the party scene at the beginning of Babylon.

The music honestly sold the movie in and of itself. The party scene music ("Voodoo Mama") is just a straight up banger!
