not listed in an official ranking bc that is like choosing a favorite child
1. Stuck in Love (melancholy and has an absolutely stacked cast)
2. The Royal Tenenbaums (actually same note as above lol and no one is cooler than Margot Tenenbaum)
3. The Bling Ring (soundtrack is insane and I love movies about rich kids getting into trouble)
4. The Women (I LOVE this movie and find it so comforting)
5. Jennifer’s Body (this movie covers camp, horror and teenage angst in the most amazing way and has the best soundtrack ever)

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

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
(this has been my favorite movie since I first watched it at 14 and I really doubt it will ever change. I just popped in the dvd to watch the director/writer commentary and other special features yesterday.)
Zola.
(I’ve seen Janicza Bravo do Q&As about Zola live twice which is probably two more times that the average person.)
Springbreakers.
Fallen Angels.
Ingrid Goes West.
The Royal Tenenbaums.
68 Kill.
Poor Things.
(I did not see enough movies last year, but I saw this one which is great because it was made for me specifically)
Are you sensing a theme in these films….
