Ah thanks I was waiting for someone to put ‘le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain’.
Arrival
Oh one more. Contagion. Made years and years before covid - pretty spot on tho.
I find it inconceivable that no one has mentioned ‘The Princess Bride’ yet.
That word… I think it means exactly what you think it means.
The Edukators!
Last time a similar question was asked, I responded with Perfect Blue, The End of Evangelion, and Love & Pop.
So this time, I’m going to suggest Sans Soleil.
Flight of the Phoenix, the original B&W one from the 50s
Fantastically atmospheric, you can feel the tension all the way through the film
American History X
Once were warriors
The Pianist
Scott pilgrim vs the world
Hell yeah that’s my favorite movie ever
5th Element.
The super weapon that sleeps half the movie.
…didnt realise this till I head it on The Film ReRoll podcast.
The main characters are never aware of each other.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
This movie is the epitome of #mood for me. I love almost every scene as a standalone artwork. Must’ve watched it 20 times.
Did you like science of sleep? Similar vibes. Eternal sunshine is my favorite though.
I did a uni paper on it! I don’t like it as much, it’s a little too whimsical in comparison, but Gondry has a style that just settles my bones.
I loved this movie and if I was to read a summary I would think it’s boring as hell. But it’s not. It’s on my Made Me Cry list, has an amazing female main character and a solid romance that is not cliche, and I typically cringe at movies with too much romance. This one is good. I +1 your recommendation.
