Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite is a masterful film in every aspect. See also:

The Lighthouse Pulp Fiction

-Boondock saints

I found a few missing!

I personally loved Sunshine. if you are into Scifi; it’s not Interstellar, but it’s great in it’s own right.

Then there are movies that are so bad that they come out on top, the Sharknado series fill that spot for me.

I’m also a big fan of The Machinist, seeing what actors do to their bodies opened my eyes to the dedication they show.

A movie that was so full of suspense for me that I couldn’t watch it to the end in one sitting was The Hunt (2012), a Danish film about Mass Hysteria in a small village after someone gets falsely accused of child molestation.

All other movies that I can recommend are already mentioned in the other lists, and I’ve saved this whole thread for the huge amount of movies I’m still missing.

I am not sure if its exactly what you are lookomg for by some random movie recs. Some of these may not be great but are just movies I enjoy for one reason or another.

This list is in no particular order. And it’s admittedly all over the place in time and genre. Feel free to use it as a grab bag rather than a checklist.

I’m saving this thread to make a watch list, but I’ll add a comedy I haven’t seen mentioned: The Blues Brothers

• Chinatown
• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
• Alien
• Wrath of Khan (Director’s Cut)

And probably a thousand more I’m not thinking of off the top of my head.

1. Airplane
2. Shawshank Redemption
3. Shrek
4. Secretary
5. Dead Poets Society
6. Bo Burnham: Inside

I’m more into just about anything animated, so my list is absolutely biased against most any live action film:

• Prince of Egypt ( Pixar’s last good film before they started flying off a cliff, in my opinion )

• An American Tail ( Fivek Goes West as well, but the first one is definitely better )

• The Land Before Time ( specifically movies 1 & 5 since they’re my favorites of the overdone franchise )

• Secret of NIMH

I can’t think of any others off the top of my head that aren’t your standard 1970s animated Robin Hood ( the dosney one ) or Zootopia, but I can’t say I’d put them up there despite how much I adore those movies.
