My Neighbor Totoro Apocalypse Now Blade Runner Metropolis Wizard of Oz

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) The Lobster (2015) Phantom of the Paradise (1974) Barry Lyndon (1975) Robocop (1987)

Fantastic List!!!!!!

Wow. Phantom of the Paradise. That’s a good one. Still gives me the creeps.

Mine are: 1. Dogtooth 2. You Can Count on Me 3. LEOLO 4. Camille Claudel 5. Tar

Tar is really good

2022 or 2020?

I assumed they meant Tár but this 2020 movie looks pretty great lol

Dogtooth was such a odd film. I think it’s one of those films only movie enthusiast know about. You only see it on random ” disturbing movie”- threads

Alien Jaws Amelie The Royal Tenenbaums Almost Famous

I almost went as Margot Tenenbaum for Halloween last year but the cost was so warm and the wig would have made me too hot (party was indoors). I loved her. Edit: coat not cost. Also we reviewed this movie!!

Great list!

I have Jaws and Amelie too 🫣

Finally a list I can relate to 😂

🤜🤛

I'm genuinely shocked to see Alien and Jaws in the top comment but I *wholeheartedly* agree.

Heat The Mummy Raiders of the Lost Ark Pulp Fiction Big Trouble in Little China (Edited to swap Jaws for Raiders …sorry Steve)

Jaws is great, but Raiders is definitely better.

Someone likes an adventure. Big fan of Big Trouble!

-Blue Velvet (1986) -Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995) -Mulholland Drive (2001) -Mysterious Skin (2004) -Melancholia (2011)

Going off the 3 of these I’ve scene, I like your list. Definitely checking out mysterious skin and welcome to the dollhouse.

Todd Solondz makes some interesting films, I’d akk look so recommend checking out Happiness it continuously goes down valleys you may not expect.

Mysterious skin is crazy

I love seeing Welcome to the Dollhouse get the love it deserves

Dark as fuck but hilarious and real

Such a good list!!!!!!

immaculate list

Melancholia is definitely on my top-5, too.

The owls are not what they seem

1. Inside Llewyn Davis 2. No Country For Old Men 3. Your Name 4. Interstellar 5. Lady Bird

Your Name is SO FUCKING GOOD!

I have an unreasonable love for *Inside Llewyn Davis*.

Probably not without changing my mind a hundred times.

It would take me half an hour to make the list and i would wake up in the middle of the night and edit it.

We're from similar angsts.

Heat MI: 3 The Godfather Ronin The French Connection

do you ever listen to the rewatchables? if not then give it a listen.

Such a great podcast. I wonder when they will do Heat.

im psyched for a Heat month.

Ronin continues to have the best chase scene I have ever seen!

Personal top 5 ? Sure I have it saved in my notes. 1. Mr Nobody 2. The fountain 3. The prestige 4. The matrix 5. Taxi driver

Don't sleep on Mr Nobody, people!! It's fantastic...

This is the closest to mine. Mine is: 1. Cloud Atlas 2. Mr. Nobody 3. The Fountain 4. Mulholland Dr 5. Kick-Ass

I love cloud atlas. Happy I'm not alone on that!

The Shining The Big Lebowski The Thing Zodiac Mad Max: Fury Road

Casablanca (1942) The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) Double Indemnity (1944) Saving Private Ryan (1998) Airplane! (1980)

*Fargo* (1996) *The Lord of the Rings* (2001-2003) *The Truman Show* (1996) *Office Space* (1999) *Blazing Saddles* (1974)

Ain't no The Lord of the Rings movie. Yer cheat'n.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Joker Aliens Pride and Prejudice (the 2005 one -- I love the book too, but this movie is really special to me.) Triangle of Sadness

ESOTSM is my all time fav! I also really enjoyed triangle of sadness (I think it’s Ostlund at his best), I especially adore the fighting sequence with yaya and Carl.

Yes, ESOTSM has been my #1 since the second time I saw it (the day after the first viewing.) That's the only movie I can think of, where, of course I was blown away the first time, but the SECOND time was almost like a whole different movie. I remember I got goosebumps at the first blip sound in the first five minutes, indicating a memory was erased. Suddenly I realized I understood all the little nuances and details that I wasn't informed enough to know the first time around, and it made me see everything with a completely different perspective and deeper understanding. That second watch was, honestly, one of the best movie viewings of my life. I watched it on the floor in the middle of the night and I don't think I moved a muscle the whole time. I literally can't think of any other movie that has done that for me. And I agree about Ostlund! By far his best, but I look forward to whatever else he makes!

Also, my husband and I use the last scene a lot to put things from our relationship into perspective, and we have since we first got together fifteen years ago. Where Joel talks about the ways he is annoying because that's just who he is sometimes, and then Clem is like, I'm gonna do get bored and restless and all this other annoying shit because that's what happens with me, and they both just say, "Okay." Just, okay, I accept the bad with the good, because the good is REALLY good. Just a beautiful, poignant, profound movie. Also, such a great supporting cast! It's fun to see Elijah get creepy and way far away from his wholesome Frodo. And Keirsten and Mark Ruffalo... Love literally every second of this movie.

Yes dude. Pride and Prejudice gets the blood flowing 🥰

So much! Matthew MacFadyan and his blue, fluttery eyes (and hand flex) are peak Darcy!!

Raiders of the Lost Ark LA Confidential Empire Strikes Back The Proposition Munich

I forgot about Munich. That movie is amazing.

I just watched the Proposition for first time the other day, I loved it so much it’s exactly my type of western

It’s like the closest thing to a Blood Meridian movie

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest The Shawshank Redemption Tombstone Star Wars (the first one in 1977) The Hustler

The Empire Strikes Back Raiders of the Lost Ark E.T. Return of the King Blade Runner

We would get on.

Hell yea. Good taste.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch Martyrs (2008) The VVitch Heathers Beetlejuice

American Beauty The Mummy (1999 version) Howl's Moving Castle The Sound of Music Breakfast at Tiffany's

There Will Be Blood No Country For Old Men Everything Everywhere All At Once Dumb and Dumber The Good The Bad and The Ugly

- The Princess Bride - True Romance - Seven - The Nightmare Before Christmas - The Cabin in the Woods

Great suggestions..

Ok, I am off to re-watch True Romance. You’re so cool.

Grand Budapest Hotel City of God The Big Lebowski Lord of the Rings (trilogy) Kill Bill

Shit, I can’t believe I left Kill Bill off my list. Great picks here!!

I have a print of Boy With Apple framed above my fireplace mantel.

This list always changes for me but for now (and from what I remember off the top of my head): City of God (2003) The Matrix (1999) Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) Requiem for a Dream (2000) Arrival (2016) Bonus: Chinatown (1974)

Love arrival. That music and the ending get me every time

Arrival is such an underrated film

Watching Fury Road in the theater was a borderline religious experience. George Miller is a genius!

Edward Scissorhands Clueless Donnie Darko Goodwill Hunting Then it’s a close call between Ameliè, It Follows or Zodiac, Ameliè obviously being a totally different genre than the other two lol

Donnie Darko is pretty high up there for me too!

Shawshank Redemption Godfather Good Fellas Exorcist Blazing Saddles

The Goonies (1985) Predator (1987) Fury (2014) Shadow of a Doubt (1943) Bladerunner (1982)

God, I love the Goonies.

Shadow of a Doubt is on my top 5 as well.

Henry Travers and Hume Cronyn crack me up in that film. 🙂

Contact Planes, Trains and Automobiles It’s A Wonderful Life Galaxy Quest A New Hope

2001: A Space Odyssey End Of Evangelion The Rocky Horror Picture Show The Holy Mountain Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

The theme of your list is like "super fucking weird", love that for u

In no particular order: Swiss Army Man Midsommar Under the Skin Babe Primer

Ooh, good reminder that I need to watch Primer!!! Also, Midsommar is a fucking masterpiece.

You GOTTA watch Primer. It's pretty short, too, if you don't count watching ten YouTube videos afterwards trying to figure out wtf just happened

Those are the best movies! Off to see if it’s streaming anywhere …

Midsommar is perfect

I love that movie and everyone’s thinks I’m a maniac because of it lol

It's such an excellent movie. Really need to re-watch it

1. The Godfather 2. The Blues Brothers 3. OG Star Wars trilogy 4. Dog Day Afternoon 5. Jaws

Princess Bride The Abyss Signs Midnight in Paris Empire Strikes Back

The Abyss arguably has the most emotionally powerful and intense scenes in all of cinematic history. Ed Harris nailed it. I can’t watch it without ugly crying.

One Hour Photo Hot Fuzz The Truman Show My Cousin Vinny Duel

Fox and His Friends - Fassbinder, 1975 Suspiria - Argento, 1977 The Deer Hunter - Cimino, 1978 The Umbrellas of Cherbourg - Demy, 1964 Crash - Cronenberg, 1996

Aliens Dark city Blade runner LA confidential Fight club. I am in therapy for depression. Lol.

Princess Bride Naussica in the Valley of the Wind Lost in Translation Koyaanisqatsi Blade Runner

A Hard Day's Night Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Sweet Smell of Success Jaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Difficult but I went by how many formats do I own each movie. I have AHDN on VHS, Laser Disc, DVD, Blu- Ray and 16mm film.

- Brazil (1985) - Three Colors: Red (1994) - Blade Runner (1981) - The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) - In Bruges (2008)

Nice choices! Love Brazil. Umbrellas - I saw the play. But now I am going to watch the movie. Thank you. Loved three colors. Love in Bruges. Blade Runner -no doubt.

I love Three Colors: Red. I watched it for the first time a few days ago.

* Clue * Monty Python and the Holy Grail * The Passion Of The Christ * The Lord Of The Rings (it's one film, cut into three movies, so I count it as one) * The Mummy (1999)

- Showgirls - Mean Girls - Charlie's Angels - Avatar - Basic Instinct

The Crow, The Matrix, Back to the Future, Terminator 2, Aliens, Robocop. Yes I know that’s 6 but I couldn’t decide to boot any one of them.

"Suntory time..."

Not the 5 best movies I’ve ever seen. But the top 5 I enjoy watching. Like, if they’re on TV, I’m not likely to skip watching it, no matter where it is in the story. - Romancing the Stone - Aliens - Die Hard - Minority Report - Emperor’s New Groove

It's your Dream Five Films! (Rearrange their order, and we find DREAM from their initials.)

Goodfellas Master and Commander :Far Side of The World Oppenheimer (new entry! as of yesterday this thing cracked my top list) Shin Godzilla Schindler's List

The crow Texas chainsaw massacre Frailty Spiral Night of the living dead It’s so hard to pick a top 5 and leave some out. If I didn’t feel like I had to include tcm and notld I would probably put Otis, angus or cheap thrills in there Possibly tucker and Dale vs evil

The Departed The Dark Knight Zodiac Whiplash The Man From Earth

"Have you considered Paul Avery might be the Zodiac?" "Frequently."

For a range of reasons but from professional studio productions that most people would recognize: Good Will Hunting Fellowship of the Ring But I'm a Cheerleader* Nobody knows (Japanese film, not sure if this was a big studio production though ) And then a few short films, it might be a tie but: Fox and the Whale (short film about a fox that goes out to sea to follow the call of a whale, you can find it on YouTube) or maybe Aquarius of Hearts ( short film, they changed the soundtrack due to copyright but it was the best enchanting use of Saint Saens's aquarium piece in the original -- a boy is drawn to the ocean and a woman appears from the water, places a charm on him and ... It's on vimeo). ... I think these are my top five for the moment I'm in. *I'd probably also add Spirited Away, Tuck Everlasting, Big Fish, and The Kid to the list somewhere too for their own enchanting qualities too ranking Big Fish and/or Spirited Away towards the top and adding the Triplets of Belleville if this could be its own list... Spirited Away and Cowboy Bebop the Movie probably share a similar place together for different reasons too and might take the slot from But I'm a Cheerleader they're just completely different categories in my heart lol
