I’m not a huge movie fan, but I want to broaden my horizons a bit. I’ll offer my list (that I’ve rewatched so many times I’m a bit tired of them):
-
Young Poisoner’s Handbook
-
Full Metal Jacket
-
Life of Brian
-
Holy Grail
-
Sunset Boulevard
-
Curse of the Golden Flower
-
The Nightingale
-
Downfall
-
Amadeus
-
Once Were Warriors
-
Dusk to Dawn


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.
It’s an amazing film, which makes the sequel, Faraway, So Close even more bizarre… it’s the polar opposite.
