I’m not a huge movie fan, but I want to broaden my horizons a bit. I’ll offer my list (that I’ve rewatched so many times I’m a bit tired of them):
-
Young Poisoner’s Handbook
-
Full Metal Jacket
-
Life of Brian
-
Holy Grail
-
Sunset Boulevard
-
Curse of the Golden Flower
-
The Nightingale
-
Downfall
-
Amadeus
-
Once Were Warriors
-
Dusk to Dawn
Pacific Rim. They never made any sequels though, so don’t bother looking.
There is one with John Boyega portraying the son of the Marshal so based maybe 10 years or so after the original. Not quite up there with the first film but still fun, basically “Pacific Rim: Team Kids”
Did @chunes@lemmy.world stutter? They never made any sequals.
Maybe this will help you understand what’s going on here https://xkcd.com/566/

- Joe vs the Volcano
- The Princess Bride
- Monty Python and the holy grail
- Inception
- the matrix
- UHF
- Knives Out
- Groundhog Day
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- Various Studio Ghibli movies (spirited away, Howl’s Moving Castle, etc.)
(I’m definitely forgetting some)
UHF is underrated as hell. I really liked Knives Out as well. Groundhog Day is a fucking classic.

The last unicorn
Snatch
And watching Napoleon Dynamite with a 10-12 year old is HILARIOUS.
I’d recommend asking this over at !moviesuggestions@lemmy.world.
As for my answer:
- The Departed
- Parasite
- Django Unchained
- The Princess Bride
- Arrival
- The Intouchables
- Ben-Hur (1959 version)
- Fargo
- Amadeus
- Little Miss Sunshine
- The Matrix
There are more, but that’s a solid selection IMO.
Geez everyone’s got a list! I got just one movie I watch over and over.
FIGHT CLUB
I cant talk about it.
I liked the Fight Club soundtrack. Movie was pretty good too.
Goodfellas
-Boondock saints
Brazil
Wings of Desire
Blade Runner: Original Theatrical CutOthers too obvious to mention… see the rest of the thread.
Wings of Desire (and Wim Wenders in general) is AMAZING, but it requires a… sort of quiet solitude such as a theater where the length and pacing won’t lead to distractions. I love that movie and the rest of the set.
It’s an amazing film, which makes the sequel, Faraway, So Close even more bizarre… it’s the polar opposite.
I always recommend the Hitchcock movies from his middle era. My favorites:
- Lifeboat
- Rebecca
- Strangers on a Train
- Dial M for Murder
- Rope
- Rear Window
- The Man Who Knew Too Much
- North By NorthWest
- Vertigo
- Psycho
Rear Window is my all-time favorite movie. It’s a perfect film, where every shot and line means something. Grace Kelly’s appearance is the most beautiful that any woman has ever been, in any film. The rest are all 10 out of 10s.
And look for Hitchcock’s famous cameos in every movie, always close to the beginning, and usually amusing.
