Young Frankenstein Labyrinth Last Unicorn Reservoir Dogs The Crow Hard Boiled

[–] unknown@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago

Seconding Young Frankenstein! It's still one of the funniest films I've ever watched.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago
  • Rubber
  • Fantastic Planet
  • Willy Wonka
  • Heavy Metal
[–] TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

Rush is probably one of the best motorsports movies out there, definitely better than whatever the fuck the F1 movie was trying to be.

Also try Ford Vs Ferrari that one's good too.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Brazil
Wings of Desire
Blade Runner: Original Theatrical Cut

Others too obvious to mention... see the rest of the thread.

[–] memfree@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wings of Desire (and Wim Wenders in general) is AMAZING, but it requires a... sort of quiet solitude such as a theater where the length and pacing won't lead to distractions. I love that movie and the rest of the set.

Please give this most amazing movie a look: Stay. Very mind bending and great acting by Ryan gosling, Ewan Mcgregor, Naomi Watts.

[–] FritzApollo@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

I will give it a look!

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Damn, I haven't watched 99% of these in the comments, I think I might be too picky about what to watch.

[–] insaneinthemembrane@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or you're younger than the posters, lots of these are quite old.

I love Ahmir Khan's movies so any of those are great. Didn't really like Dangal Dangal but that's just me

I'll recommend Letterboxd for this: amazing lists and reviews of movies so you'll always know what to watch next :) I really love tracking the movies I've watched too. It has a free plan btw

(is there a non commercial version of Letterboxd, does anyone know?)
