Network (1976). Quite possibly the best movie ever made.

Salรฒ, or the 120 Days of Sodom
Squids these days...
Grave of the fireflies.
Definitely watch it.
Definitely donโt rewatch it. Once is enough for a lifetime.
Saw it, thought it was a great movie, and like you will never watch it again
Saving Private Ryan
โEarn it.โ
What a movie.

Escape From L.A. 1996 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o6SWofbYD90&pp=ygURRXNjYXBlIEZyb20gTC5BLi4%3D No Escape 1994 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dCeAks---3A&pp=ygUOTm8gRXNjYXBlIDE5OTQ%3D
my personal favorite is Kiki's Delivery Service, as it's a film that doesn't have common Disney/Western tropes of trauma or horrible things happening. the main character has a loving family, she is strong willed, sticks to her convictions and is honest/empathetic/kind. there's action and conflict in a non violent way and the characters are sane. while I don't have kids, it's also appropriate for children and has lessons that are valuable for all ages.
the animation is beautiful to boot and the story is fun. I honestly think it's an example of a perfect film.
Many Studio Ghibli movies, Fight Club, Tropic Thunder. Used to watch the first and second Godfather movies but good lord they're long.
Well, I never refuse watching Pitch Perfect and The Dictator (by Sasha Baron Cohen). I'm sorry to lower the standard ๐
Don't be sorry. Love what you love.

A Bronx Tale
A father becomes worried when a local gangster befriends his son in the Bronx in the 1960s. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106489/
i've only seen reservoir dogs once but i feel like i need to rewatch it just to gain greater understanding of the whole situation. those are my favourite type of rewatch experiences.
Aftersun
For comedies โRat Raceโ and โWhite chicksโ always make me laugh.
Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, World's End.
For me - Hot Fuzz particularly. We periodically watch it with friends and play a drinking game (e.g. drink every time someone says "The Greater Good", every time you see a swan, every time the do an action thing that Nick Frost has earlier asked "did you ever...").
Fish Story. Weird movie about an obscure punk song that saves the world.
Glad you put a link. For some reason my brain thought of the film "shark tale" and I was like "hol up.."
Any that you enjoy the first time.
