I’m not a huge movie fan, but I want to broaden my horizons a bit. I’ll offer my list (that I’ve rewatched so many times I’m a bit tired of them):

  • Young Poisoner’s Handbook

  • Full Metal Jacket

  • Life of Brian

  • Holy Grail

  • Sunset Boulevard

  • Curse of the Golden Flower

  • The Nightingale

  • Downfall

  • Amadeus

  • Once Were Warriors

  • Dusk to Dawn

    Ones I have not seen in other comments, although you probably have enough at this point:

    • The Fifth Element - Yes I know the director is a sexual predator, it’s still really really good. One of the most creative movies ever made
    • Run Lola Run - Surreal modern-style impossible narrative movie from way before movies really did that, also very well done
    • O Brother Where Art Thou - Damn, we’re in a tight spot
    • Schindler’s List - Warning, very very very heavy obviously, but there is a reason it won all the awards
    • Conan the Barbarian - You may or may not like B movies, but if you like “Sword and Sandal” B movies, this one is the king
    • The Sting - Absolutely top-notch gangster movie from before your parents were born
    • Office Space - If you have ever worked a crappy tech job this movie will become your spirit animal in time of need

    I’ve also heard great things about “Highlander.” Don’t watch the sequels.

    There are also miniseries. “Stranger Things” season 1, “Chernobyl,” and “Game of Thrones” up until about season 5. Yeah, it’s a shame they never made any more after that, but you can just let it be. You’ll know roughly when. If the three female assassins from Dorne come on the screen, you went too far, just turn it off immediately and be sure to take a shower right away.
