I’m not a huge movie fan, but I want to broaden my horizons a bit. I’ll offer my list (that I’ve rewatched so many times I’m a bit tired of them):

  • Young Poisoner’s Handbook

  • Full Metal Jacket

  • Life of Brian

  • Holy Grail

  • Sunset Boulevard

  • Curse of the Golden Flower

  • The Nightingale

  • Downfall

  • Amadeus

  • Once Were Warriors

  • Dusk to Dawn

      Thanks. Haven’t come across this one before. It’s on prime for anyone interested.

      Will add this to the watchlist.

      Edit: Watched it just now as it’s short and the house is quiet. I wouldn’t have it on my must see list but it was enjoyable

          Haha. Sorry! I mean I really did enjoy it. But “must watch” is a high standard.

          I faced similar with Aliens (my favourite movie of all time) with my 15 year old. I deliberately didn’t watch it for nearly 10 years to wait on the 4k release. Got gifted a Blu-ray player between my wife and eldest son for Christmas, had a big “Aliens night” when the disc arrived and she called it “mid” 😭

          I appreciated the recommendation of something slightly obscure enough to watch it straight after your comment though for what it’s worth.
