I have two that flip for my favorite depending on my mood at any given time: “There Will Be Blood” and “Blade Runner 2049”. They are both kinda slow and require attention to really appreciate, so probably my favorite movie to turn my brain off and have fun is “Mad Max: Fury Road”.
Aliens.
Alien is good too but Aliens is damn near perfect for me.
Idk what the heck James Cameroon is doing now but, Avatar just didn’t land in the same way to me.
No one ever mentions this movie but my favorite movie is The Fountain, with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz.
It’s basically a love story set in three timelines, with absolutely amazing music, dark storytelling, and an unbelievably satisfying ending. A lot of it is left up to interpretation but it’s not overly complicated. Cemented me as a huge fan of Aronofsky even if he’s not always a pop culture favorite.
Oh brother, where art thou?
Man of constant sorrow. Nuff said
