Ah thanks I was waiting for someone to put ‘le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain’.
I always say everyone should see requiem for a dream, but no one should watch it. That film does more for stopping drug abuse than any government program ever did.

Wall-e
It's our future if we don't fix shit.
Bold of you to assume we'll be able to cooperate long enough to transport all of humanity off planet
They probably didn't. It's a single ship, not that big, and they only used one language on it.

Apocalypto
The Hunger Games
Top Secret, by the same guys who did Naked Gun. I think it's somehow actually funnier on average than Naked Gun, even though that one's great, too.
Basically, I don't know if a human could watch it and not find it fucking amazingly funny. So dense with jokes, so creative with the execution, so many funny practical effects, you're constantly astounded that they created props and sets for such absurd humor, and it really works.

Since my movie taste is a bit of everything here is my colourful list:
- Pans Labyrinth
- Princess Mononoke
- 12 Monkeys
- Her
- Parasite
- Persepolis
- The man from earth
12 Monkeys was unexpectedly good! Not many films can tell a story in that manner and pull it off.
Blade Runner
Flight of the Phoenix, the original B&W one from the 50s
Fantastically atmospheric, you can feel the tension all the way through the film
Brazil. Should be mandatory after 9/11.
Children of Men is a madtapiece.
Everybody’s Everything. I knew nothing about Lil Peep and I absolutely loved the whole documentary.
To Kill A Mockingbird
And read the book.
Threads. Especially should be mandatory for politicians. To date one of the most accurate portrayals of nuclear war. It is not an uplifting movie.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Not really the most profound or insightful, but it's just a good fun film.

The Pianist
2001: A Space Odyssey
I've tried so hard to watch the film three times and always fell asleep. It's my bad for not starting it from where I left off but the intro is so good even if it's a bit slow-paced for me.
Evil Dead 2
Last time a similar question was asked, I responded with Perfect Blue, The End of Evangelion, and Love & Pop.
So this time, I'm going to suggest Sans Soleil.
Some great ones were already mentioned. I'll add Life Is Beautiful (1997).

"It's a wonderful Life". I'm not religious but the message of the movie is very straight forward, and very important. Be a good person, always try to help others, have integrity, and try to make meaningful connections with people. You also don't have to have a long list of accomplishments to have a meaningful life, as long you positively affect others, you've done good.
It's a wonderful life used to be my favorite movie to watch around Christmas time, to remind myself of whats important in life, but now I've added:
The movie "About Time". Slow down. Savor, and enjoy life. Most days I forget about the message of that movie, but I try to remind myself every now and then. It hits especially hard now as my father passed away at 80 last year.
