I haven't watched The Bicycle Thieves, but I should.
I like Rashimon -- watched it in a class -- but it's not among my favourite Kurosawa films. There's three kinds of films of his I like to watch the most: the fun samurai swashbucklers, the pinnacle of which is the often-imitated (from The Magnificent Seven to, yes, Marvel's Avengers) Seven Samurai; the sweeping and colorful tragedies, of whom the pinnacle is his adaptation of King Lear, Ran; and his somewhat one-of-a-kind film Dreams, which is about, well, his dreams. Come to think of it, I mean to rewatch Dreams, too: I caught it on tv as a kid and it's haunted me ever since.
Also: Jurassic Park is great, and I love that film. Jurassic World? Crap. Hated it when I watched it on the cinema xD really had no redeeming values, and its attempts to be "feminist" and "woke" are epitomized by that twitter classic, "Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss".
What "good" action it had was derivative of its actually-good predecessor and it stars Chris Twat. I really don't like that movie xD
The MCU is fine. And that's about it. It's fine. I liked Black Panther and Winter Soldier and, no joke, I cried at Endgame. Haven't really watched any of the movies past that.
