Haven’t witnessed another director describe emotion in a more creative/profound way.
2046 is my favorite, and he’s created a whole universe through multiple movies that share recurring characters and similar themes.
Eyes Wide Shut // Stanley Kubrick
Apocalypse Now // Francis Ford Coppola
Cries & Whispers // Ingmar Bergman
Chinatown // Roman Polanski

My love for this man’s filmmaking is so profound it could bring me to tears.
Garlic Is As Good As Ten Mothers (1980) gave me more validation than I knew a film could. So much so I made my family sit down and watch it recently. My brother promptly ordered me the books mentioned in the doc. Feeling seen is never overrated.
Special mention to Innocents Abroad (1991) and Always for Pleasure (1978).
