Pulp Fiction. Also, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. And Snatch. Also... aw man, there's so many...
Favorite good movie: Shawshank Redemption
Favorite bad movie: Hackers
E.T.
I am absolutely charmed by the characters, the story, the optimism, and the connection to the unknown.
Literally can't choose ONE. Have to be Babel, Y tú mamá tambien, Roma, and Cars (yes pixar). Even putting those out there, I feel mad not including the petrified forest, taxi driver, or Wall-E
I was about to start Roma last night but didn’t. I should watch that tonight.
Strictly Ballroom
No one ever mentions this movie but my favorite movie is The Fountain, with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz.
It's basically a love story set in three timelines, with absolutely amazing music, dark storytelling, and an unbelievably satisfying ending. A lot of it is left up to interpretation but it's not overly complicated. Cemented me as a huge fan of Aronofsky even if he's not always a pop culture favorite.

My absolute favorite that I rewatch constantly is Supertroopers. If I only had 1 movie to be able to rewatch forever, it would be that one
Ratatouille.
Cinema Paradiso
Honorable mentions for Galaxy Quest and Heist.
Buckaroo Banzai will forever live near the top of my list...
One older one: Disneys Atlantis A newer one: Ready Player One
Waking Life
Frozen II
Clerks, because when I was 22 years before I ever saw that movie I to ran my convince store just like that. Also totally relate to the crap customers you deal with in that setting.
