The German version (Stromberg) is, but I don't like the American one. Incompatible humour, really... I don't remember any funny US series that I actually found funny.

Edit: Thought about it for a bit, Scrubs was funny as hell. So there was at least one.

I must admit that your tastes are on the bro-side of favorites. But I'd be a liar if I said I didn't like The Boondock Saints and Interstellar. The Boondock Saints is a guilty pleasure movie for me though - it has a reputation for being adopted by a particular type of person.

I was 8 years old when I first saw the film and it scared me so much it left in me a permanent fear of aliens and once I got older I grew to love the film and aliens in general.

Tbh the battle on the hill is enough to make it a great film for me because it involves the ultimate dilemma: which child do you save?

It's a choice no parent should ever have to make and the entire scene in general shows how hopeless it was against the Tripods.

A long time ago, there used to be a really, really good film analysis breakdown of this very idea on YouTube. I can't remember the guy, but he locked up all his film analysis behind paywalls years ago. I remember the Big Lebowski one being so well put together, and in the end, it's really hard to argue that the film has anything other than a deeply feminist viewpoint.

  1. Dead Man: A film by Jim Jarmusch starring Johnny Depp and Gary Farmer and an all-star cast. Beautiful acid western about friendship in harsh circumstances. Wonderful original soundtrack by Neil Young.

  2. The Fall: A film by Tarsem. This films story isn't necessarily amazing, but this is a love letter to classic cinema. It has a plot about classic cinema, and it uses all classic techniques to achieve the effects. Tarsem famously went out of their way to ensure there wasn't any CGI in this film. It's one of the most vividly colorful and visually stunning films I have ever seen.

  3. Dreams: A film by Akira Kurosawa. A montage of short films inspired by dreams experienced by filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. In partnership with Lucasfilm. Almost as visually stunning as The Fall but much more cohesive stories for being inspired by dreams. Come for "The Peach Orchard," and stay for "Village of the Watermills."

  4. Brazil: A film by Terry Gilliam starring Jonathan Pryce, Robert DeNiro, Kim Greist and Michael Palin. A treatise on dreams in a totalitarian society. The only cut worth watching is the Directors Cut. The film was famously butchered by the studios to give it a "happy ending" because the original was considered too bleak.

  5. Sneakers: A film by Phil Alden Robinson starring Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, River Phoenix, and Ben Kingsley. One of the only films that ever presented a semi-realistic portrayal of hacking. Good plot, good pacing, and arguably prescient considerations.

I actually sat down a coworker years ago and did this. It was surprisingly easy once I realized something - I'll sit down and watch a lot of movies on TV, but there are a few I refuse to. Too many commercials and edits just make me furious... those are my favorites. Getting down to 10 was hard enough, so top 5 are in no order. Some changed how I thought about things, some just entertained me for years:

The Matrix

Interstellar

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Fight Club

Schindler's List

And because it was so hard, here are a few more that just as easily could be top 5:

Silence of the Lambs, Inception, V for Vendetta, OG Star Wars trilogy, Indiana Jones trilogy, Kung Pow, Blair Witch Project

Leto's performance is genuinely captivating and the storytelling is top-tier. The film strikes a perfect balance between deep emotional resonance and stunning visuals. It's not just a superhero movie, it's a profound exploration of the human condition. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for more than just escapism.

I like how this quote from Clerks sums up the star wars debate:

"Empire" had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets.

Top rated because of the story (all), acting (all), music (except for 2), number of awesome quotes (3 and 4) and all in all just being amazing.

Also, since I saw someone mention it, I'd like to add that the worst movie of all time is imho 2001 A Space Odyssey. On IMDb I don't rate movies lower than 2 stars because I have 1 exclusively reserved for 2001 ASO. Watching it has been the most boring experience of my life, which btw is saying a LOT. Punishment in hell probably shifted to eternally watching this movie, with sinners wishing to go back to when they were physically tortured. I cannot stress enough how much I dislike this movie. You can be absolute sure that my top 5 is nothing like that.

2001 is divisive. I love that movie, but I know so many people that find it insufferably slow.

I think it's just too "spacious" for lack of a better term. It only presents the bare minimum in plot and focuses almost entirely on the cinematography. But just think about it in the context of 1968. This was during the height of the space race, and the film explores the core concept: what is the destiny of humanity and where did we come from? It's so fucking massive in scope that the only way to do it justice is to just give the viewer space to digest.

As such it asks a lot from the viewer to fill in the gaps and use the film as more of a meditation than a passive viewing experience.

There is so many great ones. These ones come first to my mind:

-The Godfather (yes, the first one) -Blade Runner -Blade Runner 2049 -Scarface -V for Vendetta

Some of these are not fully rewatchable for me. Like, Blade Runner, if i watch it, i just dont feel like watching it again for a few months. But that does not mean its not of my favorites.
