    The prince of egypt. I’m not even religious, but the musics, the story and the visuals stayed in my heart. I will also say:

    -Léon / the professionnal

    -Interstellar (i am basic)

    -Nausicaä and the valley of wind

    -Inside out, wall-E and Up

    and a ton of others…

    I’ve got a three-way tie and I’ve never been able to promote any one:

    The NeverEnding Story
    Wall•E
    Watchmen

    I consider Watchmen one of the most perfect movies ever made.

      People often hate on the watchmen, i love it. The worst part about it that it has a graphic novel that is way better.

        Ultimate or Director’s. I don’t mind the extra Black Ship comics scenes but I also recognize they really don’t add much of value. But I enjoy them.

          I pulled up the ultimate cut a while back because I wanted to watch the movie, but I didn’t look at the timestamp before I started. I really like it, as a more thought-provoking, and loyal adaptation of the comic, but it seemed like it was running a bit long until I realized it was getting light outside again.

            Heh. Well, yeah you have to be in the mood to watch a very long film but I think it’s worth the experience. It’s not a movie you just sort of watch while folding laundry; it’s immersive and it is legendary and deserves your undivided attention.

    One is not enough, and a lot of great movies where already named, still, some great movies are missing:

    • Heat (Michael Mann) Every single time I see it, it is brilliant and I discover something new
    • Jin Roh (The original animation movie), awesome atmosphere and only after the 2nd viewing one can really appreciate it
    • Near Dark (1987) Why the hell did nobody ever produce something like this ever again?
    • Miami Vice (Michael Mann), ‘Style over substance’, in a great way, although I have the shaky camera
    • Seven Samurai
    • Casablanca
    • Strange Days
    • Point Break
    • XXX (Nobody understood that it was a parody back in the days :-P)
    • What we do in the shadows
    • Brazil
    • Rocky
    • Eternal Sunshine …
    • The city of lost children
    • Leon the professional
    • Dolls
    • The Killer (The original of course)
    • The last unicorn
    • Dark City
    • The thing
    • The Lost Boys
    • Spirited Away
    • Donnie Darko
    • Rashomon
    • Brother (2000)
    • Parasite
    • Hatsukoi (First Love)

    … from the top of my mind. :-P

    One of my favorites that I don’t often see mentioned is Upgrade. It’s very nearly perfect as a near-future cyberpunk dystopia.

    No one ever mentions this movie but my favorite movie is The Fountain, with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz.

    It’s basically a love story set in three timelines, with absolutely amazing music, dark storytelling, and an unbelievably satisfying ending. A lot of it is left up to interpretation but it’s not overly complicated. Cemented me as a huge fan of Aronofsky even if he’s not always a pop culture favorite.

      I love so many of these, I’m gonna have to download the rest that I haven’t seen.

      All about Eve, Witness for the prosecution, maltese falcon, and now voyager, rear window, these are some of the best movies ever made.

    My absolute favorite that I rewatch constantly is Supertroopers. If I only had 1 movie to be able to rewatch forever, it would be that one

    Aliens.

    Alien is good too but Aliens is damn near perfect for me.

    Idk what the heck James Cameroon is doing now but, Avatar just didn’t land in the same way to me.

    I’m a fan of most of the movies listed, but didn’t notice anyone mention one of my favorites, Moneyball. Don’t let the baseball fool you. I don’t even like baseball. To me it’s not about baseball, it’s about trying to succeed in a flawed system.
