Tokyo Story and In The Mood For Love are two movies near the top of that list that are big favorites of mine. I think Tokyo Story is a bit too slow for most people but ITMFL is more modern and stylish and is more palatable to modern tastes (its only 20 years old).

Go watch The Lives of Others please.
Yes. When I finally did see Bound, I was apoplectic.

I like Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool - mostly because theyâre anti-superhero superhero movies. Or Deadpool is. GoG is just cool and fun.
But I want Sci-Fi. I want action. Even horror. So bored with that 30-minute final battle scene vs. the big boss in every superhero movie.

Is it slow and plodding? Is there interiority and pathos?
How about comedy
Came up with some real suggestions.
The Crow (1994)
Special (2006)
Freaks (2018)
Synchronic (2019)
Freaks: Youâre One Of Us (2020)
Do you have any sci-fi suggestions? Preferably with some action and cool plot twists - Philip K Dick-style, and not so much ethereal navel-gazing stuff.
Always. You mean in general beyond niche superhero movies?
Screamers is a solid Philip K Dick movie.

Havenât seen Paycheck I donât think. I should just bite the bullet and do Scanner Darkly. It just looks weird.
Loved Minority Report and both Total Recalls. Loved the old and new Terminators. Alien is my favorite movie of all time (and criminal itâs not on a top 20 list imo). Love most Tom Cruise sci-fi movies - he seems to get all the good plots.

You should watch exactly two of them. The first is a horror masterpiece. In the second James Cameron basically invented an entire genre that other film and video game makers have been stealing from for decades. Theyâre quite different from each other and seeing one wonât give you much idea of what the other is like.

I assume the two are Alien and Aliens? Does order matter?
