We're gonna get a lot of the more standard "Perfect movies" so I'm going to stick with some of the ones that may not be "perfect movies" but I found personally always enjoy
Ex Machina - Fucks with your mind through the entire movie, and leaves you bewildered at the end
Ocean's 11, the Clooney version personally, I watch this regularly and is my favorite heist movie
Seeking a friend for the end of the world - Tears, but it's a movie that's worth a watch - but I can never rewatch it.
The Whale - just last year, another amazing movie that has to be watched, but you will probably never be able to rewatch it.
The Theory of Everything - Personally this movie is what started me out from "Movies are cool action things I go with friends to see" to "Maybe movies can evoke emotions that I didn't know I could fully appreciate", and for those here who have seen me comment on movies before, this is where Felicity Jones became my favorite actress. You forget your watching a movie, and she became Jane Hawking in it, and it's the first movie I legit cried to. It hurt me deep. Eddie Redmayne did a wonderful job, fully embodying Steven as well, to the point that again you forget you are watching a movie.
And one more because what the hell
None of these would I nominate as best movie of all time, I just went through my list of most watched movies and these stuck out
I saw Oppenheimer in theaters and spent the entire time going: "this is just imitation game but everyone sucks and instead of saving millions of lives and being punished by your government for it... The man kills millions of people and then gets awarded for it..."
I definitely need to rewatch it.
