Ah thanks I was waiting for someone to put ‘le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain’.
Arrival
Blade Runner
Oh one more. Contagion. Made years and years before covid - pretty spot on tho.
I find it inconceivable that no one has mentioned ‘The Princess Bride’ yet.
That word… I think it means exactly what you think it means.
Last time a similar question was asked, I responded with Perfect Blue, The End of Evangelion, and Love & Pop.
So this time, I’m going to suggest Sans Soleil.
Flight of the Phoenix, the original B&W one from the 50s
Fantastically atmospheric, you can feel the tension all the way through the film
The Edukators!
American History X
Once were warriors
The Pianist
5th Element.
The super weapon that sleeps half the movie.
…didnt realise this till I head it on The Film ReRoll podcast.
The main characters are never aware of each other.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
This movie is the epitome of #mood for me. I love almost every scene as a standalone artwork. Must’ve watched it 20 times.
Did you like science of sleep? Similar vibes. Eternal sunshine is my favorite though.
I did a uni paper on it! I don’t like it as much, it’s a little too whimsical in comparison, but Gondry has a style that just settles my bones.
I loved this movie and if I was to read a summary I would think it’s boring as hell. But it’s not. It’s on my Made Me Cry list, has an amazing female main character and a solid romance that is not cliche, and I typically cringe at movies with too much romance. This one is good. I +1 your recommendation.

Hell yeah that’s my favorite movie ever
