    A bunch of other people have mentioned Ghibli movies and since I’m in the middle of a binge through every Ghibli movie I think I’ll recommend one that I hadn’t seen before a few days ago: Only Yesterday or Omoide Poroporo.
    It’s Isao Takahata, not Miyazaki, but it’s easily my favorite Ghibli movie and one of my favorite movies of all time. It feels so real and relatable, the whole movie is essentially a really slow-paced series of flashbacks to the main character’s 10-year-old self and every detail is so well-thought-out and interesting.
    Very worth watching, although I’ll mention as a disclaimer that all the friends I was watching it with thought it was super pointless and boring.

    Secretary (2002)

    Think what you want, this movie has layers of depth to it. Every time I watch it I feel like I learn something new about a character and why they are the way they are.

    I know the franchise has been on shaky ground lately, but I really think everyone should watch the Infinity Saga, in order, at least once. 23 movies that tell one vast over-arching story, featuring some of the best god-damn superhero casting ever seen.

    Krull is one that stays in all my libraries. It’s so obscure yet has names like Liam Neeson, Robbie Coltrane, and David Battley. It was my dad’s favorite movie.
