- The Human Condition, vol. 3 (the whole trilogy should be seen in order, but this part is peak)
- Come and See
- Ikiru
- My Dinner with Andre
These movies are so good they are life-affirming. They fill me with a will to change and to live beautifully. All are politically conscious, to varying degrees, too. I really think anyone would get something out of watching them
I read the summary for The Human Condition 3 and it sounds depressing as hell
I hope you didn't spoil yourself with a full summary
It's definitely bleak but the protagonist is an inspiring comrade and he finds purpose in his circumstances
Underrated Ghibli film, good picks overall
Have you seen Nausicäa? That 1 and Mononoke are my favorites. Miyazaki is at his best when he centers environmentalism
I haven't seen Nausicaa yet. Mononoke is good but a bit too RETVRN-y for my tastes
It definitely criticizes industrial civilization as a whole but I think the portrayal is more focused on unsustainability than technology itself being bad.
- ShowThis is peak cinema!! Paddington 2, City of God, Perfect Blue, and Shottas
oooh I gotta rewatch City of God soon
watches Paddington 2 for the 5th time
Apparently there’s a new paddington movie, i haven’t heard anything about it but i hope it’s good

- Stalker: untouchable masterpiece of cinema
- 3 Iron: understated film about shared connection between social outcasts
- Seventh Continent: probably the most depressing film ever made but also one of the most beautiful
- Rosemary's Baby: a couple try desperately to have a baby, then equally desperately not to
3 iron is so good, it blew my mind how powerful and evocative a movie could be with barely any dialogue.
Synecdoche New York, Happiness of the Katakuris, An Elephant Sitting Still, Drag Me to Hell

The Motorcycle Diaries made me cry multiple times when I saw it, it's absolutely fenomenal.
Howl's Moving Castle is just one of the most magical experiences I've ever had. I love this move to death 🥺
I'm rethinking spider man, but I remember being utterly impressed with it on an artistic level.
And well, Utena I can't do justice, it's just incredible after watching the anime.

I dont think these are my absolute favourites, I have a lot of four and a half stars and admittedly I haven't watched a lot of the "classics"
You're the first person I've seen online to talk about Brick! Best modern noir film I've seen.
