My most watched movies:
Jurassic Park
The Firm
The Verdict
Children of Men
Arrival
Lord of the Rings

But you know all of those already. Here's one you probably haven't seen: Love me some stage play adapted to movie. Doubt (2008)

If you like legal dramas, presumed innocent (the movie with harrison ford) is really good also.

Waking Life

It's a tie between The Motorcycle Diaries and Howl's Moving Castle.

The first I found extremely touching, the second is just incredibly magical and charming.

E.T.

I am absolutely charmed by the characters, the story, the optimism, and the connection to the unknown.

V for vendetta

Clerks, because when I was 22 years before I ever saw that movie I to ran my convince store just like that. Also totally relate to the crap customers you deal with in that setting.

Lots of great picks here! I could go with a dozen that have already been mentioned, but I will throw out Blade Runner. The look, the feel, the sound, the ideas... Rutger Hauer's classic monologue, Sean Young at peak compelling...

[–] TheColonel@reddthat.com 2 points 8 months ago

Die Hard

By a pretty huge margin.

That. Movie. Is. Perfect.

[–] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

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.
