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

    I always recommend the Hitchcock movies from his middle era. My favorites:

    • Lifeboat
    • Rebecca
    • Strangers on a Train
    • Dial M for Murder
    • Rope
    • Rear Window
    • The Man Who Knew Too Much
    • North By NorthWest
    • Vertigo
    • Psycho

    Rear Window is my all-time favorite movie. It’s a perfect film, where every shot and line means something. Grace Kelly’s appearance is the most beautiful that any woman has ever been, in any film. The rest are all 10 out of 10s.

    And look for Hitchcock’s famous cameos in every movie, always close to the beginning, and usually amusing.
