Clerks, because when I was 22 years before I ever saw that movie I to ran my convince store just like that. Also totally relate to the crap customers you deal with in that setting.
E.T.
I am absolutely charmed by the characters, the story, the optimism, and the connection to the unknown.
One is not enough, and a lot of great movies where already named, still, some great movies are missing:
... from the top of my mind. :-P
Ratatouille.
Elysium
I re-watch from time to time to check where we're at.
Angel's Egg
War Games!
Matrix
Die Hard
By a pretty huge margin.
That. Movie. Is. Perfect.
Princess Bride.
Inconceivable!
Seven Samurai
Interstellar.
I've watched it so many times, yet I still ugly cry at least twice every time I do.
I’m not sure if you’re interested, but I believe they’re rereleasing it this weekend for theaters. At least in the US.
Update: they pushed it to December 6th
I first saw it in a completely empty theater as a teen. The visuals are obviously amazing, and I really liked the story, until the last bit - back then I was annoyed that they suddenly jumped from scientific accuracy towards feelings and emotions.
It took me a long time to properly understand the metaphor and message, but now I love it all the more!
Lots of great picks here! I could go with a dozen that have already been mentioned, but I will throw out Blade Runner. The look, the feel, the sound, the ideas... Rutger Hauer's classic monologue, Sean Young at peak compelling...
Brazil (1985)
Favorite is difficult and changes over time. But it's gonna be one of these:
Now I think The Pianist is the best movie of all time, which is a different thing, but that newer movie 1917 sure competes.
Have no idea why 1917 was less commented than Dunkirk. The former is a masterpiece and the latter is just bad
Were you born between '78 and '83?
Nope, quite a few years after, actually.
yellow submarine (1968?)
Withnail and I.
Don't threaten me with a dead fish!
Favorite good movie: Shawshank Redemption
Favorite bad movie: Hackers
It's still Office Space.
I've been wanting to rewatch. Nice.
Event Horizon. Hereditary/Midsommer may be close seconds.
Event Horizon does just the right amount of showing you the horrific monster style stuff while also leaning almost completely on the "people are the real monsters".
Midsommer is one of those ones I struggle to watch. I get super empathetic and start tweaking out.
Jupiter Ascending
Grammas boy
It's a tie between Goodfellas and The Big Lebowski.
This comment really ties the thread together, man.
Airplane!
Interstellar. I so sincerely regret not seeing it on the big screen.
I’m not sure if you live in the US, but they’re releasing it for theaters on December 6th. I missed out on it the first time too, so I’m making sure I’m there.
