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.

    Edit: All the people with low standards get upset when called out.

        “How dare he call out my low standards!? Doesn’t he realize we’re only allowed to approve of people’s taste, that way nobody is critical about what they waste their money on!? Now let’s watch Frozen!”

      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 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.
