For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It's such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There's just that extra something in that movie

What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?

John Carpenter's: The Thing. I have seen this movie well over 50 times in my life, and I will probably watch it 50 more before I die.

For beauty: Barry Lyndon (1975)

I don't know if it is my all time favorite but I can watch The Maltese Falcon on repeat

Garden State. Not because it does anything particularly great but simply because it's themes and insights to the world were spot fucking on where I was in my life when I first saw it.

Second hand lions!

It's a comfort movie for me

Heat (1995)

Such a great cast, good sound track and heists!

My all time favorite movie is Castle in the Sky

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Difficult to choose but my top 3 is The Human Condition, Memories of Murder and Gattaca.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

My favorite always changes. Right now, it's Hideaki Anno's The End of Evangelion.

I also really like Chris Marker's Sans Soleil and Ishmael Bernal's Himala.

Network (1976) is practically perfect in every way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I was 17 when this movie came out. Very popular among my circle of friends and is quoted often. However, the movie isn't quite as innocent when you're 45. I still call it my favorite movie, it is, but not in a weird pedo way.

Beautiful Girls (1996)

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. Just love everything about it.

Kimi no na wa (your name). That Anime was great to watch and can recommend it wholeheartedly*. I think if your in the teens or in the 20s the movie hits you harder. I am almost 40 hehe *spelling
