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
It is truly an underrated classic! The only complaint I have about it is the presence of Wahlberg, but even he aced his role if I’m being totally honest. The entire cast utterly slays it, really. And that’s not even getting into the stellar themes, writing, and transcendental message! Easily one of my favorites of its genre and era
It’s a case of having to separate the artist from the art, for me. David O. Russell is also not a very nice person but I don’t let it ruin the movie for me; it’s so good.
