    The prince of egypt. I’m not even religious, but the musics, the story and the visuals stayed in my heart. I will also say:

    -Léon / the professionnal

    -Interstellar (i am basic)

    -Nausicaä and the valley of wind

    -Inside out, wall-E and Up

    and a ton of others…

    E.T.

    I am absolutely charmed by the characters, the story, the optimism, and the connection to the unknown.

    I’ve got a three-way tie and I’ve never been able to promote any one:

    The NeverEnding Story
    Wall•E
    Watchmen

    I consider Watchmen one of the most perfect movies ever made.

    Clerks, because when I was 22 years before I ever saw that movie I to ran my convince store just like that. Also totally relate to the crap customers you deal with in that setting.

    One is not enough, and a lot of great movies where already named, still, some great movies are missing:

    • Heat (Michael Mann) Every single time I see it, it is brilliant and I discover something new
    • Jin Roh (The original animation movie), awesome atmosphere and only after the 2nd viewing one can really appreciate it
    • Near Dark (1987) Why the hell did nobody ever produce something like this ever again?
    • Miami Vice (Michael Mann), ‘Style over substance’, in a great way, although I have the shaky camera
    • Seven Samurai
    • Casablanca
    • Strange Days
    • Point Break
    • XXX (Nobody understood that it was a parody back in the days :-P)
    • What we do in the shadows
    • Brazil
    • Rocky
    • Eternal Sunshine …
    • The city of lost children
    • Leon the professional
    • Dolls
    • The Killer (The original of course)
    • The last unicorn
    • Dark City
    • The thing
    • The Lost Boys
    • Spirited Away
    • Donnie Darko
    • Rashomon
    • Brother (2000)
    • Parasite
    • Hatsukoi (First Love)

    … from the top of my mind. :-P

      My pick too. The docking scene is fantastic, and the slingshot around Gargantua always gets me.

      I first saw it in a completely empty theater as a teen. The visuals are obviously amazing, and I really liked the story, until the last bit - back then I was annoyed that they suddenly jumped from scientific accuracy towards feelings and emotions.

      It took me a long time to properly understand the metaphor and message, but now I love it all the more!

          Nothing that happened in the movie could have been successful without love, it allowed humanity to do what shouldn’t have been possible.

          To start off, I believe there was a very narrow path that led to humanities survival - kinda like that Doctor Strange scene in Infinity War. Had things happened differently (Cooper wasn’t the pilot, they didn’t go to the ice planet, Cooper didn’t sacrifice himself) humanity would have been doomed, and all those things happened due to love.

          And only love is what allowed Cooper and his daughter to actually bridge time and space, because if she didn’t love him so much, she wouldn’t have attempted to decode the gravitational messages - she wouldn’t have believed this to be possible. But she did believe in him, and she did believe that he would still be out there and trying to save them.

          None of the things they attempted would have worked without love, and none of them would have meant anything without love. In the end, the story is all about human connections driving us to attempt the impossible, and that’s a lot more powerful than some scientific MacGuffin could ever be.

        That stupid love shit they shoehorned in was sickening. But, Hollywood must always sit in every chair at the table. I’m sure that was the suits insistence and not the writers.
