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
Flow - if you like cats and beautiful animation.
Dave Made A Maze - is a fun watch with good writing.
Death Of Stalin - will be funny to you if you like British comedy.
Prospect - interesting scifi with Pedro Pascal (who I mistook for Nathan Fillion till I looked the cast up, lmao)
Triangle - well done time travel fuckery
Arq - more time travel fuckery
Primer - yet more time travel fuckery
Edit: pretty sure the title of the post has changed, or I somehow just didn’t notice it fully before? Idk, none of the movies I’ve listed are ‘must watch’ they’re just fun watches. I don’t think any film is really a must watch.
Triangle is great, just watch it without googling it.
Dave Made a Maze! I forgot about that gem
Gah, I’ve tried to sit down and watch Flow on like 3 occasions. The lack of dialogue is a dealbreaker for my wife and kids. I got about halfway through it once and really enjoyed it!
Watch it alone at some point.
The lack of dialogue was one of the best things about Flow for me, after the cat, so much was ‘said’ without ever needing words and the acting of all the animals was captivatingly well done.
That’s the plan! I’m just never alone! Part of the problem is that I want to watch it all in one sitting, which is extra difficult.
Ngl, that sounds exhausting to never have time to yourself.
I usually stay up and read books late at night or game. Just not usually movies.
Edit: Young kids in sports just suck up a significant amount of time.
