Estonian’s have made some really gorgeous movies and almost nobody knows about it. I wanted to tell you how underrated it is, but it’s actually rated very well, it’s more that it’s under-represented. The Temptation of St Tony (2009) and November (2017) are two gems and two very good starting points.

What is your favorite movie that everyone overlooks or doesn't know?
Mine is definitely Snowpierce (2013) by Bong Joog-ho. The idea that people get stuck on a train and are helplessly oppressed by their luckier fellow passengers. I like the atmosphere of the film and the performances by everyone, but especially Chris Evans, who showed he can be something other than Captain America. The progression from dark and dirty tail to interesting and perfect front of the train, the culture of the train, the revolution and the amazing action sequences. I could talk about this movie all day. I feel like the fact that a lot of people are just glossing over this makes me like the film even more.
I'm curious what your hidden gems are :P

I Lost My Body (2019) directed by Jérémy Clapin. A quote from the director about this film that I really love is " what the hand touches is felt through the sound". There is something about the way that this film approaches fantasy and surrealism that makes it one of one.
Wall-E (2008) directed by Andrew Stanton. Old but classic, and still relevant with its themes around environmentalism and community.
The Holiday (2006) directed by Nancy Meyers. I watch this even when its not Christmas, and there is just something so satisfying about it. Has one of my favourite soundtracks of all time.
Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. This movie kind of changed my life, when I make art I feel like in some of it you can see that this film has influenced me, and maybe it will do the same for you.
Neria (1991) directed by Godwin Mawuru. Its one of my country's (Zimbabwe) most well known films. Its story follows a woman who falls victim to the greed of her brother in law that wrongs her and her children. It has strong socioeconomic commentary and is hotly debated today. Its also a film that is came out long before I was born so I cannot emphasize its impact enough.

PIETINIA KRONIKAS!!!!!
a film that lights up the dark tunnel of Lithuanian cinema— a brilliant coming-of-age story set in the post-Soviet era, where everything feels new, nothing is guaranteed, and tomorrow shines brighter than ever
it has an amazing soundtrack that radiates ’90s nostalgia. the cinematography is actually insane and the character arcs are inspiring
it’s quippy, entertaining, intense, and intriguing—but most of all, it‘s real. for anyone interested in the Soviet or post-Soviet era of European history, this is a must see film
tbh i think it‘s fantastic for anyone, so pls watch it!!!! highly recommend!!!!

Any man, any task. I’m sure there are other ways to strengthen your relationships with men but this is the easiest I’ve found and my method also gets a task done.
Ask your dad to build shelves, ask some guy on your street to mow your lawn, ask your friend to collect a parcel for you, ask your brother to hang a picture frame. So many tasks get done and so many men feel needed and appreciated. Could offer them a beer to make it transactional but it’s almost never necessary.
