Grave of the fireflies.

Definitely watch it.

Definitely donโ€™t rewatch it. Once is enough for a lifetime.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Saw it, thought it was a great movie, and like you will never watch it again

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Network (1976). Quite possibly the best movie ever made.

my personal favorite is Kiki's Delivery Service, as it's a film that doesn't have common Disney/Western tropes of trauma or horrible things happening. the main character has a loving family, she is strong willed, sticks to her convictions and is honest/empathetic/kind. there's action and conflict in a non violent way and the characters are sane. while I don't have kids, it's also appropriate for children and has lessons that are valuable for all ages.

the animation is beautiful to boot and the story is fun. I honestly think it's an example of a perfect film.

For comedies โ€œRat Raceโ€ and โ€œWhite chicksโ€ always make me laugh.

Fish Story. Weird movie about an obscure punk song that saves the world.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Glad you put a link. For some reason my brain thought of the film "shark tale" and I was like "hol up.."

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Any that you enjoy the first time.

Well, I never refuse watching Pitch Perfect and The Dictator (by Sasha Baron Cohen). I'm sorry to lower the standard ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Don't be sorry. Love what you love.

A Bronx Tale

Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, World's End.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

For me - Hot Fuzz particularly. We periodically watch it with friends and play a drinking game (e.g. drink every time someone says "The Greater Good", every time you see a swan, every time the do an action thing that Nick Frost has earlier asked "did you ever...").
