I'm excited to do some thinking and give you a personalized list from these that you gave me.
Would you mind though retagging me on this tomorrow? I'm finding myself really busy with movie night today!

These are what I call perfect films.
There's many great films! Very good! But there's very few perfect films.
And for me a perfect film is a film that you can take people too and afterwards without effort conversation spontaneously commences. And even if you've seen the film a million times, someone else's perspective usually shines a while new light on that film for you, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
These films are usually by auteurs and they're usually surreal or have some heavy element of surreality to them.
But that's just my style.
So you see there's kind of 3 factors there.
There's many movies I absolutely love and would easily call a favorite. But it will only have 2 of the 3 and I never find myself calling it a perfect film.
But if you want a perfect film. Go watch Tarsem's the Fall. Go watch Mullholland Dr. Go watch 2001 a space Odyssey . Go watch Paprika by Satoshi Kon. Go watch Stalker by Tarkovsky. Go watch the Holy Mountain by Jodorowski.
You don't need to know what they mean. They will speak to you in some way.
And when you speak to others about what the film told you, that other person is going to tell you something completely different. And you will get a deeper understanding of the film, but be even more lost than you were before and the only way to fix that is to show more people and ask more people. 🤷🏽
