it's such a beautiful day
Perfect animated film Makes me feel things
I have pretty thoroughly stopped caring about movies.
The only movie in the last 15 years I've wanted to sit down and just watch. By myself, not as a thing to do with friends or family, not as something to have sound in the house while I do something else, to sit down with a bowl of popcorn and a beer and WATCH, was Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. So we'll go with that I guess.
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 most watched movies:
Jurassic Park
The Firm
The Verdict
Children of Men
Arrival
Lord of the Rings
But you know all of those already. Here's one you probably haven't seen: Love me some stage play adapted to movie. Doubt (2008)
Oh brother, where art thou?
Man of constant sorrow. Nuff said
This movie is a masterpiece. I've seen it more times than I'd like to admit.
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
"...all nimbly bimbly...?"
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
Overall favorite: Shawshank Redemption
Watched the most times: Notting Hill and Coming to America
One of my favorites that I don't often see mentioned is Upgrade. It's very nearly perfect as a near-future cyberpunk dystopia.
It sounds a lot like Limitless
Not at all actually. Limitless is a liberal wet dream and upgrade is a hardcore dig at unregulated tech
that's exactly what I feared, and actually refreshing to hear - I'll check it out!
The Bagdad CafΓ©. It's not exciting, or romantic, or tragic, or even that funny. But it's beautiful. God I love that film. It seriously has some of the best acting, directing, and writing I've ever witnessed. Second would probably be Casablanca/Lawrence of Arabia/Pulp Fiction/Eight and a Half/......
Edit: also black cat white cat Edit: Pane e Tulipani Edit: Buster Keaton's The Cameraman
The prince of egypt. I'm not even religious, but the musics, the story and the visuals stayed in my heart. I will also say:
-LΓ©on / the professionnal
-Interstellar (i am basic)
-NausicaΓ€ and the valley of wind
-Inside out, wall-E and Up
and a ton of others...
I'm a fan of most of the movies listed, but didn't notice anyone mention one of my favorites, Moneyball. Don't let the baseball fool you. I don't even like baseball. To me it's not about baseball, it's about trying to succeed in a flawed system.
