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….

Taking my cue from mouse's list otherwise I'd be here all day reccing.
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya - craft wise, it might be the greatest animated film of all time. Tossup with Akira and The Lion King.
Sorcerer - a bunch of sweaty dudes transport unstable TNT in a big truck. When I think of cinema, I think of this.
While You Were Sleeping - I don't like Christmas movies but I watch this every year (and The Muppet Christmas Carol). God-tier romcom.
Children of Men - What can I say man. Grounded sci-fi that gives me chills and makes me cry every time.
Toy Story - Watched this over and over as a kid. First feature-length CG movie and it still hits.
A Hidden Life - Bring tissues.
The Pink Panther - This is a whole series of slapstick comedy films staring Peter Sellers. I love Steve Martin but his reboots ain't it.
Sound of My Voice - Indie film about infiltrating a cult. Formative for me.
The Hunger - David Bowie is a vampire. What else do you need to know?
Harakiri - Good place to start as any for samurai movies.
That was so hard.

I’ve never had a bad time

Not every idea is a good idea. But maybe a small part of it is, or maybe it can grow into one, or maybe it will lead to the next good idea, or maybe you just need to get all those lousy ideas out of the way so the good ones have room to breathe.
Or maybe it just feels good to write and this fixation on good vs bad ideas is the thing that’s in the way.

Recommending this for myself because I never do it but when I do it always helps me get what’s inside outside.
