I’m limiting myself to 10 to be sensible and these are subject to frequent and unpredictable change. Tried to do a range of genres and a few well beloved directors. I hope you find as much joy in cinema as I have! Howls Moving Castle - when you say you’ve seen nothing, does this mean no ghibli? There’s a whole load of Studio Ghibli films that are amazing, this is my comfort Film. Jennifer’s Body - essential bisexual cult cinema. never met a man who likes it, never met a woman who doesn’t It Follows - possibly my favourite ever horror movie. Four Lions - Probably my favourite comedy ever, very British, very brilliant Arrival - one of only two times a film has given me the feeling of the sublime in the same way seeing the alps did.(the other one is The Green Knight, consider this a sneaky Rec for that too) Beautiful sci-fi. The Virgin Suicides - Arguably Sofia Coppola’s best film. The Big Lebowski - my favourite Coen Brother’s film (I have Maud tattooed on me). fun and hugely well loved. Only Lovers Left Alive - Jim Jarmusch is a must watch director, this and Paterson are my faves. Tilda Swinton and TI’m Hiddleston play sexy vampires. Ocean’s 11 - very vocal about my love for heist films, and this is the cream of the crop

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.

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….

I feel like I've been seeing the same 10 movies recommended online over and over again, so here's a few very random movies I've watched in the past few months. Not all of these movies are particularly incredible or the best movies ever made, many aren't even among my personal favorites... but they span decades and sub-genres and are perfect if you, like me, are interested in branching out and seeing what you like! pls drop some of your random recs below!!! :) (also, this is derived from a letterboxd list i have, so feel free to follow me on there or whateverrrrr) Here they are in no particular order, with some general vibe-descriptors: If you like ...
