Spaceballs, so you will know what the future holds.

You gotta watch Spaceballs or there isn't any context for the greatest movie of all time, Spaceballs II: The Search For More Money!

I always say everyone should see requiem for a dream, but no one should watch it. That film does more for stopping drug abuse than any government program ever did.

Bold of you to assume we'll be able to cooperate long enough to transport all of humanity off planet

They probably didn't. It's a single ship, not that big, and they only used one language on it.

Rubber. The movie about the tire who woke up and chose violence.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

That movie is really terrible.

Top Secret, by the same guys who did Naked Gun. I think it's somehow actually funnier on average than Naked Gun, even though that one's great, too.

Basically, I don't know if a human could watch it and not find it fucking amazingly funny. So dense with jokes, so creative with the execution, so many funny practical effects, you're constantly astounded that they created props and sets for such absurd humor, and it really works.

Since my movie taste is a bit of everything here is my colourful list:

  • Pans Labyrinth
  • Princess Mononoke
  • 12 Monkeys
  • Her
  • Parasite
  • Persepolis
  • The man from earth
[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

+1 for the man from Earth! Best long winded movie ever!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 21 hours ago

12 Monkeys was unexpectedly good! Not many films can tell a story in that manner and pull it off.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Children of Men is a madtapiece.

Everybody’s Everything. I knew nothing about Lil Peep and I absolutely loved the whole documentary.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Not really the most profound or insightful, but it's just a good fun film.

I've tried so hard to watch the film three times and always fell asleep. It's my bad for not starting it from where I left off but the intro is so good even if it's a bit slow-paced for me.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you like dark humor, In Bruges is absolutely outstanding.
