E.T.
I am absolutely charmed by the characters, the story, the optimism, and the connection to the unknown.

One is not enough, and a lot of great movies where already named, still, some great movies are missing:
- Heat (Michael Mann) Every single time I see it, it is brilliant and I discover something new
- Jin Roh (The original animation movie), awesome atmosphere and only after the 2nd viewing one can really appreciate it
- Near Dark (1987) Why the hell did nobody ever produce something like this ever again?
- Miami Vice (Michael Mann), ‘Style over substance’, in a great way, although I have the shaky camera
- Seven Samurai
- Casablanca
- Strange Days
- Point Break
- XXX (Nobody understood that it was a parody back in the days :-P)
- What we do in the shadows
- Brazil
- Rocky
- Eternal Sunshine …
- The city of lost children
- Leon the professional
- Dolls
- The Killer (The original of course)
- The last unicorn
- Dark City
- The thing
- The Lost Boys
- Spirited Away
- Donnie Darko
- Rashomon
- Brother (2000)
- Parasite
- Hatsukoi (First Love)
… from the top of my mind. :-P

I re-watch from time to time to check where we’re at.

Lots of great picks here! I could go with a dozen that have already been mentioned, but I will throw out Blade Runner. The look, the feel, the sound, the ideas… Rutger Hauer’s classic monologue, Sean Young at peak compelling…

Interstellar.
I’ve watched it so many times, yet I still ugly cry at least twice every time I do.

My pick too. The docking scene is fantastic, and the slingshot around Gargantua always gets me.

Brazil (1985)
- callouscomic ( @callouscomic@lemm.ee ) English10•18 hours ago
Favorite is difficult and changes over time. But it’s gonna be one of these:
- The Big Lebowski
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- Clerks
- Tron
- Airplane!
- Die Hard
- Escape From New York
Now I think The Pianist is the best movie of all time, which is a different thing, but that newer movie 1917 sure competes.

Have no idea why 1917 was less commented than Dunkirk. The former is a masterpiece and the latter is just bad
