Fracture 

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

Whiplash which you've obviously seen based on that username but I Tonya is a great female perspective on a classic tortured artist story that often gets ignored

Lady Bird was an incredibly frustrating watch but so beautifully captured being a teenage girl in suburbia wanting to move to a big city and grappling with a difficult relationship with her mother

 

Not my favorite but arguably a cinematic masterpiece. Commodus to me was by far the best performance (Joaquin is insanely talented).

 

Taylor Sheridan's "New American West' trilogy - Sicario, Hell or High Water, Wind River - have become some of my favorites. Their gritty realism is hard to find nowadays. I grew up on the Harry Potter series and they will always have a place in my heart. Also a huge fan of Ronin and The French Connection.

 

Wind River has one of the most infuriating scenes in cinematic history

 

I can always rewatch the following movies:

Shawshank Redemption
Tommy Boy
Goodfellas
Godfather
Good Will Hunting
The Dark Knight
The Departed
American Pie
Any Avengers Movie
Mrs. Doubtfire

 

Not necessarily in order:

1. Inception
2. Wind River
3. Ex Machina
4. The Departed
5. Beautiful Boy
6. Inglorious Bastards
7. OUATIH
8. Arrival
9. Good Will Hunting
10. Good Fellas

Honorable mentions:
1. The Town
2. Drive
3. Prisoners
4. Blade runner 2049
5. Se7en
6. Incendies

 

Interesting note, after reading the screenplay for prisoners several years before it was made (the ending to original screenplay is even more awesome than the movie), I spent a summer writing my own screenplay since I was so inspired and it placed top 10% in the Nichols fellowship. Top 5% actually get an agent, so I was so close lol.

But so many people have never seen or heard of prisoners.

To me, it’s of the best dark thrillers out there.

 

If you like prisoners you’ll like Incendies, one of Denis Villeneuve’s lesser known films.

The Room

The important thing is never to let oneself be guided by the opinion of one's contemporaries; to continue steadfastly on one's way without letting oneself be either defeated by failure or diverted by applause.
