These movies are so good they are life-affirming. They fill me with a will to change and to live beautifully. All are politically conscious, to varying degrees, too. I really think anyone would get something out of watching them
I read the summary for The Human Condition 3 and it sounds depressing as hell
I hope you didn't spoil yourself with a full summary
It's definitely bleak but the protagonist is an inspiring comrade and he finds purpose in his circumstances
This is peak cinema!!
Paddington 2, City of God, Perfect Blue, and Shottas
oooh I gotta rewatch City of God soon
watches Paddington 2 for the 5th time
Apparently there’s a new paddington movie, i haven’t heard anything about it but i hope it’s good
Synecdoche New York, Happiness of the Katakuris, An Elephant Sitting Still, Drag Me to Hell
What a list!
Due Date, Neighbors, Dirty Grandpa, T*d
3 iron is so good, it blew my mind how powerful and evocative a movie could be with barely any dialogue.
The Motorcycle Diaries made me cry multiple times when I saw it, it's absolutely fenomenal.
Howl's Moving Castle is just one of the most magical experiences I've ever had. I love this move to death 🥺
I'm rethinking spider man, but I remember being utterly impressed with it on an artistic level.
And well, Utena I can't do justice, it's just incredible after watching the anime.
Mulholland Drive, Matrix Reloaded (I will defend this pick to the death btw), Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Mad Max Fury Road
Jurassic Park, Mulholland Drive, Brick, Threads
You're the first person I've seen online to talk about Brick! Best modern noir film I've seen.
Blade Runner 2049
Everything Everywhere All at Once
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Hot Fuzz
Mad Max Fury Road
Serial Mom
Infernal Affairs
T2 Trainspotting
I dont think these are my absolute favourites, I have a lot of four and a half stars and admittedly I haven't watched a lot of the "classics"
