It’s still Office Space.
Fury Road.
My previous best film was Mad Max 2.
Airplane!
The Mummy (1999)
Interstellar. I so sincerely regret not seeing it on the big screen.
Once I ignored the ridiculous conclusion that “love is the key” I also loved this film.
It was a very intense experience in the cinema. Some sequences -docking, waves, tesseract…- were absolutely spectacular
The scene where he read the poem was really memorable for me. I found out afterwards it’s a well-known poem irl, but I’ll probably always associate it with that movie. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.
Velocipastor.
It is a goddamn masterpiece and the perfect movie for all occasions.
Jurassic Park hands down.
yea me too. Saw it very young and it stuck with me
I got to see it opening weekend with my mom and stepdad who took me to see it because I wasn’t 13 yet but was absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs to a more academic extent than your average 9 year old even has any business being. The box office had a giant hand sculpted pterodactyl in a nest on top of it which was one of the coolest things ever.
You should also definitely read the books, there is a much stronger emphasis on how capitalism makes everything shittier and endangers workers and compromises scientific integrity, which makes it especially shameful that toward the end of his life Crichton turned into a fuckin climate change denying right wing crank.
I’ll consider reading the books then. I wish I had seen it in the cinema but I must have been 4 or 5 when it released so I may have been a bit young. Although I did watch it on vhs at home like one year later, so…

Awww, yeah. I saw this in the theater on acid. Was amazing.
Interstellar is the first one that comes to mind.
The Lord of the Rings
Withnail and I. Ludicrously quotable.
The Big Lebowski
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, followed by Life of Brian.
it’s hard to pick, but i really like Possessor (2020), it’s a cool dystopian science fiction horror-ish movie that scratches a lot of my itches
i also rate some of the Andy Kaufman movies really high, like Synechdoche, New York (2008) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
most of my favourite movies are just mindfucks about identity or memory, because that’s the flavour of my mental illnesses, lol
