- primer, 2004
- tightly elaborate and unglamorous low-budget time travel brainteaser
- perhaps less of a movie and more of a logic puzzle, but one of the most fascinating and rewarding logic puzzles i've seen
- "and the sound... isn't the sound different, on the inside? it's, it's like it's singing. i guess you can't hear it on the outside. i had this dream in there."
- the fall, 2006
- visually astounding dreampiece
- "you always stop at the same part, when it's very beautiful."
- my neighbor totoro, 1988
- please watch this
- simple, gentle, and enchanting
- i'm sure all of miyazaki's films belong on this list, but i chose this one for its softness and its personal significance
- 3 idiots, 2009
- i don't know if i have ever been filled with such sheer joy as i felt when i finished this movie
- brazil, 1985
- a bit of a haunting and bizarre sort of bureaucracy nightmare
- wasn't too into it the first time through, but i had to watch it several times for a paper and eventually fell in love
- one of my favorite movie endings of all time
- infernal affairs, 2002
- powerful and turbulent hong kong crime thriller
- i have not watched the departed (the american adaptation) and may or may not do so eventually, but from what i hear, the two differ such that whichever you watch first will probably be the one you like more
- the conversation, 1974
- okay when i first heard the title of this film i assumed it was going to be something like my dinner with andre, a two-hour-long conversation, but it absolutely was nothing like that at all
