I’m not a huge movie fan, but I want to broaden my horizons a bit. I’ll offer my list (that I’ve rewatched so many times I’m a bit tired of them):

  • Young Poisoner’s Handbook

  • Full Metal Jacket

  • Life of Brian

  • Holy Grail

  • Sunset Boulevard

  • Curse of the Golden Flower

  • The Nightingale

  • Downfall

  • Amadeus

  • Once Were Warriors

  • Dusk to Dawn

    Looking at these lists really makes me glad that I don’t share tastes with the average person at this point.

    • Citizen Kane

    • Paprika

    • Forrest Gump

    • Synecdoche, New York

    All that monty python shit tells me that I’m in curated reddit-land where white mediocrity rules.

      I dont think citizen kane is worth watching just as a movie today. It was a pioneer in its day but what was revolutionary then is just standard now.

      If you watch it now it’s just a realy old movie unless you are a film historian and know the context from which it was made.

        I watched it for the first time recently. It was enjoyable still. I don’t mind the glacial pace of old movies.

      I haven’t seen Synecdoche in ages. Such a good movie. Mentally I have it in a category with Schizopolis, Happiness, and Magnolia because I watched them all around the same time and are are very much not the usual stories told.

      Pleasantly surprised to see Paprika in someone’s list, no one i know has ever even heard of it. Such a good weird movie.
