The Third Man (1949) if I had to pick just one. It is cinematic poetry from start to end.
Hot Rod. I have watched it 25+ times and I laugh my ass off every time.
Cinema Paradiso.
My favourite is Withnail and I. I haven't seen Snatch in quite some time though. I will watch it now, I think
Moulin Rouge. Captures a lot of the cinematography you see in Snatch, and it's a musical. Great story, great writing, and great performances curtain to curtain.
While i haven‘t seen a lot of movies in my life, mine would be schindler‘s list. Just a masterpiece.
- It's a Wonderful Life
- The Day the Earth Stood Still
- Roman Holiday
Blood Diner, because it's actually about a trans man who helps his dead uncle become his living aunt. It's easy to lose track of the fact that this is a movie about two transitions in the chaos of the ancient blood cult, vegan diner that serves human meat, wrestling with Jimmy Hitler, and all that, but it's all in there. Blood Diner was decades ahead of its time. I watch it a few times a year. Watch it as a double feature with Frankenhooker and pretend they're modern experimental indie movies. Frankenhooker is a feminist masterpiece.
Second hand lions!
It's a comfort movie for me
