I watched a total of three movies last year and two of them sucked. I don’t think I’ve seen a movie so far this year, and I’m looking for suggestions. What’s a movie that you really love?

Wolfwalkers
My favorite movie (The Big Lebowski) has already been mentioned so here are some movies ive really enjoyed:
There Will Be Blood
Project Hail Mary
Love and Monsters
Downsizing (Matt Damon)
O Brother Where Art Thou
Three Amigos
The Orphanage (Del Toro)
Rosemary’s Baby (disclaimer: This is a Roman Polanski film, and if you’re unwilling to separate art from the artist, feel free to skip it and more power to you)
Shaun of the Dead
Dr Strangelove
North by Northwest
The Death of Stalin is hands down my favorite movie. I have seen it about once every 6 months give or take since covid.
3 Days of The Condor.
It’s a 70’s paranoid thriller with Robert Redford, just an awesome film.
What you think about the Road?
I’m not familiar with it at all, is it a fun watch?
If you think sleeping a bed of hot coals is fun, so is this movie.
It is very very dark and, many people say it is realistic in some aspects.
If you don’t include Clint Eastwood: Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Spirited Away, My Cousin Vinny.
If you include Clint Eastwood: The Good the bad the ugly, just a few more dollars, the man with no name and gran Torino.
TV shows: Star Trek: TNG, House MD (specifically season 4), Gilmore Girls.
I can’t stress enough how good season 4 of house is.
Lord of the Rings trilogy, John Wick, Spiderman 1, 2, 3 and the ones with Andrew Garfield. Train to Busan, Shutter Island, Sixth Sense, Back to the Future, Terminator: Judgement Day, The Dark Knight, Joker, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocal, Pirates of the Caribbean, Now you see me films
Not movie, but shows: Breaking Bad, Barry, Bojack Horseman, The Walking Dead (up until around season 5), Lost (up until season 3)
Ikiru and High and low by Akira Kurosawa.
I have a lot of different favorites but the ones I’ve been thinking about watching lately are “Polyester” and “A Serious Man”. I really like both of those.
I used to always automatically answer Apocalypse Now for this question. I’m not sure anymore, but it’s still a great movie.
Don’t watch the director’s cut. It’s longer and adds nothing of value.
The Korean version of hellboy was pretty good if you’re in the mood for a mindfucking.
Off the top of my head (after scanning the thread):
- About Time
- Looper
- Nightcrawler
- Dark Knight trilogy
- Your Name (Kimi no Na Wa)
- Suzume
Did you also not like Weathering With You?
Yeah I liked it, all of Shinkai’s work is beautiful! I found I enjoyed it less than Your Name or Suzume Suzume though, as it didn’t hit me the same way in terms of the writing.
Definitely agree that it is the weakest of the three.
My favorite three movies are Toy Story 3 (for nostalgia reasons), Spirited away and City of god.
I’m willing to concede that Toy Story 3 isn’t that good but the other 2 are amazing movies IMO.
Wreck it Ralph is made with such a love for (classic) gaming and in general being a really good animated movie I love it.
Also The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! Is great and can be rewatched endlessly.
Then again, Idiocracy. Getting less and less funny and more scary as we come closer to that future.
Idiocracy is my favorite accidental documentary.
moves my top is the lotr trilogy for series its firefly. still.
