Mine is Lost Highway. It’s one of the most amazing pieces of media I’ve ever experienced. It’s dark, surreal, and I still don’t know what it’s about for sure. I have my own interpretation, as do many others. Who’s right? We’ll never know. The film is a fucking trip. I highly recommend.

    Back to the Future. It’s both an amazing time capsule of the era and somehow also timeless. All the actors absolutely nail it and it’s just super fun to watch. I never get tired of it.

    My favorite movie is The Favorite. The humour is just right for me.

    Gotta be The Matrix (1999). It blew my mind with the action when I saw it as a teenager, it continued blowing my mind with the philosophical and existential ideas when I started understanding those as an adult, and now it’s the ultimate comfort watch for me.

    The two sequels have a special place in my heart too.

    Eurotrip. My friends watched it like 8 times. It’s not rated as great movie, but the jokes are really good, makes fun of stereotypes, every scene is a meme. Maybe I’m biased, but its a fun movie

    Lord of the Rings. It has all my heart desires. Great shots of nature, camaraderie, action, feels, swords, a message, charge of the Rohirrim… I could go on. It’s a masterpiece.

    You may say it’s cheating, that’s three movies - well to that I say the books are also actually one book split into three. They shot all the movies together as well. Besides, I only ever watch them all or not at all so… one big movie as far as I’m concerned.

    Gut reaction. Fear and Loathing. Just a perfect movie. It is pretty faithful to the book, Depp gives an amazing performance so close to the real Hunter it is spooky and the whole thing is just perfect in every way.

      Depp was actually really good friends with Thompson and lived with hunter for a few years before the filming of the movie so he was kinda the perfect person to cast.

    I can’t decide, but what immediately comes to mind that hasn’t been said is “Everything everywhere all at once” and “Interstellar”.

    Gut reaction?

    “Big Trouble In Little China.”

    I know there are better movies, but this is my favorite. Magic and gangsters, a dimwit hero, cheesy dialog, really good fight scenes, and a really hot actress.

    Every time I watch it I feel like I’m 14 again.

    “Rubber” - It’s a (french?) movie about a car wheel that suddenly becomes aware of its own existence. It then starts rolling around, and somehow it has the ability to KILL telepathically. It starts small with squirrles or rats exploding, but at some point even the military needs to intervene.

    I like trash :)

    Boondock Saints for me. Watched it obsessively for a solid semester in college, and it helped shape my views on capital punishment, especially with the “person on the street” interviews at the end
