Grave of the fireflies.

Definitely watch it.

Definitely donโ€™t rewatch it. Once is enough for a lifetime.

[โ€“] black_ram@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Saw it, thought it was a great movie, and like you will never watch it again

my personal favorite is Kiki's Delivery Service, as it's a film that doesn't have common Disney/Western tropes of trauma or horrible things happening. the main character has a loving family, she is strong willed, sticks to her convictions and is honest/empathetic/kind. there's action and conflict in a non violent way and the characters are sane. while I don't have kids, it's also appropriate for children and has lessons that are valuable for all ages.

the animation is beautiful to boot and the story is fun. I honestly think it's an example of a perfect film.

Saving Private Ryan

โ€œEarn it.โ€

What a movie.

[โ€“] charonn0@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Network (1976). Quite possibly the best movie ever made.

Well, I never refuse watching Pitch Perfect and The Dictator (by Sasha Baron Cohen). I'm sorry to lower the standard ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] donslaught@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Don't be sorry. Love what you love.

A Bronx Tale

A father becomes worried when a local gangster befriends his son in the Bronx in the 1960s. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106489/

Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, World's End.

[โ€“] lotanis@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

For me - Hot Fuzz particularly. We periodically watch it with friends and play a drinking game (e.g. drink every time someone says "The Greater Good", every time you see a swan, every time the do an action thing that Nick Frost has earlier asked "did you ever...").

Aliens: Special Edition

Any that you enjoy the first time.

Fish Story. Weird movie about an obscure punk song that saves the world.

Glad you put a link. For some reason my brain thought of the film "shark tale" and I was like "hol up.."

[โ€“] CarlosCheddar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

For comedies โ€œRat Raceโ€ and โ€œWhite chicksโ€ always make me laugh.

[โ€“] HowlsSophie@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Many Studio Ghibli movies, Fight Club, Tropic Thunder. Used to watch the first and second Godfather movies but good lord they're long.
