Director James Gunn Reveals His Favorite Film of 2019 is PARASITE and It's a Must See!

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn recently had the opportunity to attend a special screening of Bong Joon-ho’s latest film Parasite. After he saw it, he took to social media to reveal that it is his favorite film of 2019. He said:

Thanks to Bong Joon-ho and his team for the special screening of #Parasite (@parasitemovie). Bong Joon-ho is one of the filmmakers I admire the most - Mother is perhaps my favorite film of the millennium so far, The Host is right up there with it, and now Parasite is definitely my favorite film of 2019. Sad and hilarious and horrifying and beautiful - sometimes within a single 24 frames of film. Everyone we watched it with loved it, especially me and @pom.klementieff and the shadow of @jenniferlholland, pictured here. It’s in theaters all over the world right now so please go see it!

I recently had the opportunity to see Parasite and it’s easily one of my favorite movies of the year as well. This is such an incredibly made, meticulous, and haunting film. It kind of blew my mind by how great it was.

The trailer for the film doesn’t give you much, the movie actually ended up being a completely different film than I thought it would be, and I love that! The trailer does a good job at setting up the story, but the actual movie takes the audience on an unpredictable and unexpected twisted path of greatness.

If you haven’t seen Parasite yet, go see it! Put it at the top of your list! You won’t be sorry. If you have seen the movie, tell us what you thought!

Act like you own the place. #Parasite is in US Theaters October 11. Bong Joon Ho brings his singular mastery home to Korea in this pitch-black modern fairytale. Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street smarts but not much else.
