My answer to this question changes a lot, but for now I'm gonna say Heathers
To Kill A Mockingbird
And read the book.
Some great ones were already mentioned. I'll add Life Is Beautiful (1997).
This is generally what I recommend. I’d also suggest going into it as blind as possible simply knowing that it’s a half comedy, half historical drama. It gets pretty heavy at times, more than most comedies. One of my favorite movies ever.
I saw it not even knowing that much and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Great film.
Children of Men (2006)
The Great Beauty (2013)
Amelie (2001)
Oldboy (2003)
Ah thanks I was waiting for someone to put ‘le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain’.
Predestination [2014]
Threads. Especially should be mandatory for politicians. To date one of the most accurate portrayals of nuclear war. It is not an uplifting movie.
No one's said Network (1976) yet. It's so prescient it's kind of scary.
Dead Alive
Army of Darkness
Alien
Aliens
Because fuck you: Watcher in the Woods
Enemy Mine (1985)
Blade Runner
The Man Who Knew Too Little
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
The Hunger Games
Pincess Mononoke and/or Metropolis 2001
