Parasite - Saw it 6 times in theaters and it’s honestly a perfect movie in my opinion
Evil Dead 2 - I love Sam Raimi and the combo of horror and slapstick that I think a lot of people might find immature but also those people are no fun
Sorry To Bother You - This is a truly underrated gem in my opinion. Not for everyone but it has such a distinct style and comedy and I really love it. Warning for Armie Hammer jumpscare
Psycho - a classic to show the masses I’m a true cinephile. But for real amazing movie, and especially as a designer I love a good Saul Bass intro

Mine have stayed consistent for about 4 years now. I will show American psycho to everyone I know and gauge their reaction. Do they feel like this is a good representation of their life? Dp they focus on the sex and horror? Do they get the time period and jokes? Do they want to be Patrick Bateman? All very important questions.
Inglorious bastards is the most enjoyable movie you could watch. A serious of tense conversations that end in almost everyone dying and most of them are nazis. Absolutely perfect.
Under the silver lake is a weird one. I love the movie for what it’s trying to do and don’t fault it for not succeeding. I watch it every year around this period, just before the summer heatwave. It is an essential LA summer, conspiracy noir movie that has more good ideas than expectation. It still represents me perfectly.
Hot Fuzz is a new entry on the list, I’ve seen it a long time ago and loved it but just recently rewatched it and realized it’s everything I love. People going on with a system that doesn’t really serve them, petty small town politics, taking your life too seriously, fucking up and it not really mattering, the importance of friendship and tearing everything down. Absolutely lovely.

The Wicker Man (1973) - my favorite movie ever. folk horror masterpiece. so beautiful visually, and such a rich text with so much to interpret and analyze its just one of those movies you think about for the rest of your life.
Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010) - unfortunately this movie has gotten a bad reputation so people make assumptions when you admit to liking it but I love this movie. I think its an insanely fun movie to watch, I love how it’s done with the fun comic book/retro video game style, and at its core is a beautiful story about love, change, and growth.
Hereditary (2018) - I actually haven’t seen this movie in a long time but I really love the story, I think it’s a haunting family tragedy that transitions into expertly-done horror. I love the occult elements and the symbolism and I’m badly due for a rewatch just for the richness and complexity of it all
Goodfellas (1990) - my favorite mob movie ever. Scorsese’s masterpiece. like many of Scorsese’s movies, it’s about a guy hubristically ruining his own life, but its so beautifully shot and written and is so rightfully a staple of the genre.

I’ve been trying to watch Spike Lee’s “Girl 6“ for literal years and I finally got to watch it on this website. They’ve got a ton of rare, out of print, or otherwise hard to find movies available online.
