Favorite movies?

If you caught me in 2003 it would've been The Royal Tenenbaums. I still enjoy it but Wes Anderson has become TOO Wes Andersony and watching his movies now feels like I'm being held under overchlorinated pool water. He just can't help himself.

Today, probably Robocop. It's aged like wine over the years and is, by all metrics, a perfect movie.

Other movies that I have no problems with watching again and again ad nauseum:
* all Star Trek films (from TMP to Beyond... maybe not Nemesis and Into Darkness; yes, I prefer Star Trek V over those two)
* all Tron films (I don't care if Legacy and Ares flopped; I got two more Tron films than I ever expected to get)
* both Blade Runner films
* The Empire Strikes Back
* Airplane!
* Alien & Aliens

It's hard to choose a favorite because it all depends on the mood I'm in. Like, clearly I'm in a sci-fi mood right now.

Oh yeah, Isle of Dogs was pretty good. Moonrise Kingdom was also fairly refreshing.

Hardboiled & The Killer by John Woo

you really need to watch these films. Masculine femenin is brilliant piece of french new wave if you like that sort of films, Tokyo Drifter is probably the slickest Tokyo Noir film ever made (and the only time I'll ever allow whistling a tune as part of movie exposition), also all of Wong Kar Wai is absolute cinema.
Fair warning though, Fallen Angels is nothing like Chungking Express or In the mood for love (but in a good way). If you're in to romantic films, 100% recommend In the mood for love. Even the cinematography screams sensuality.
