Thanks for the recs. A fair few on there that were not on my radar. Currently trying to curate a Letterboxed list for 1999 so will get some of these on there for sure!

I’m limiting myself to 10 to be sensible and these are subject to frequent and unpredictable change. Tried to do a range of genres and a few well beloved directors. I hope you find as much joy in cinema as I have!
Howls Moving Castle - when you say you’ve seen nothing, does this mean no ghibli? There’s a whole load of Studio Ghibli films that are amazing, this is my comfort Film.
Jennifer’s Body - essential bisexual cult cinema. never met a man who likes it, never met a woman who doesn’t
It Follows - possibly my favourite ever horror movie.
Four Lions - Probably my favourite comedy ever, very British, very brilliant
Arrival - one of only two times a film has given me the feeling of the sublime in the same way seeing the alps did.(the other one is The Green Knight, consider this a sneaky Rec for that too) Beautiful sci-fi.
The Virgin Suicides - Arguably Sofia Coppola’s best film.
The Big Lebowski - my favourite Coen Brother’s film (I have Maud tattooed on me). fun and hugely well loved.
Only Lovers Left Alive - Jim Jarmusch is a must watch director, this and Paterson are my faves. Tilda Swinton and TI’m Hiddleston play sexy vampires.
Ocean’s 11 - very vocal about my love for heist films, and this is the cream of the crop

I feel like I've been seeing the same 10 movies recommended online over and over again, so here's a few very random movies I've watched in the past few months. Not all of these movies are particularly incredible or the best movies ever made, many aren't even among my personal favorites... but they span decades and sub-genres and are perfect if you, like me, are interested in branching out and seeing what you like!
pls drop some of your random recs below!!! :)
(also, this is derived from a letterboxd list i have, so feel free to follow me on there or whateverrrrr)
Here they are in no particular order, with some general vibe-descriptors:
If you like ...
Gothic romance: The Crow (1994), streaming on Paramount+ The Hunger (1983), available to rent and sadly not streaming for free anywhere rn but is usually on Max around halloween!
Female friendships and minimal conflict: Linda Linda Linda, or リンダ リンダ リンダ (2005), on DailyMotion Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), available to rent
Something simply beautiful: The Fall (2006), on Mubi
'What the fuck?' Movies: Cool World (1992), available to rent Repo Man (1984), available to rent Tammy and the T-Rex (1994), free on Tubi, Roku, and Pluto TV
Something heartwarming in an unexpected way: Tokyo Godfathers (2003) dir. Satoshi Kon, on Amazon Prime, or free on Roku and Pluto TV
Gay Yearning: Maurice (1987) dir. James Ivory, free on Tubi
Hilarious Women: Shampoo (1975), available to rent Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003), available to rent Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), unfortunately a little hard to find online but there are ways... Postcards from the Edge (1990), free on Tubi Night is Short, Walk on Girl (2017), on Max
That's all I feel like for now lol. As you'll see on the letterboxd list I've got a few more so if ppl like this I'll post more! Pls share some of your own :))))
