Favorite good movie: Shawshank Redemption
Favorite bad movie: Hackers
Event Horizon. Hereditary/Midsommer may be close seconds.
Event Horizon does just the right amount of showing you the horrific monster style stuff while also leaning almost completely on the "people are the real monsters".
Being John Malkovich
the story is just so out there and it's excellently acted and directed. chef's kiss
2001: A Space Odyssey
One of my favorites that I don't often see mentioned is Upgrade. It's very nearly perfect as a near-future cyberpunk dystopia.
Strictly Ballroom
Ratatouille.
I love old movies. Here are 15 great ones. Watch these and you will love old movies too! Most are available on internet archive. I could probably add another 85 to this list.
Edit: bonus movie
No one ever mentions this movie but my favorite movie is The Fountain, with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz.
It's basically a love story set in three timelines, with absolutely amazing music, dark storytelling, and an unbelievably satisfying ending. A lot of it is left up to interpretation but it's not overly complicated. Cemented me as a huge fan of Aronofsky even if he's not always a pop culture favorite.
My absolute favorite that I rewatch constantly is Supertroopers. If I only had 1 movie to be able to rewatch forever, it would be that one
The movie that is constantly being re-watched, and I guess has become my happy place in the last 10 years, is The Martian
If you like that, you should read the book or listen to the audiobook.
Literally can't choose ONE. Have to be Babel, Y tú mamá tambien, Roma, and Cars (yes pixar). Even putting those out there, I feel mad not including the petrified forest, taxi driver, or Wall-E
I was about to start Roma last night but didn’t. I should watch that tonight.
Waking Life
E.T.
I am absolutely charmed by the characters, the story, the optimism, and the connection to the unknown.
It's a tie between The Motorcycle Diaries and Howl's Moving Castle.
The first I found extremely touching, the second is just incredibly magical and charming.
Cinema Paradiso
Honorable mentions for Galaxy Quest and Heist.
