          I'll recommend Letterboxd for this: amazing lists and reviews of movies so you'll always know what to watch next 🙂
          I really love tracking the movies I've watched too. It has a free plan btw

          (is there a non commercial version of Letterboxd, does anyone know?)

              • LOTR extended editions.
              • Terminator 1, 2, and Salvation (Yeah, those are my guilty pleasures. You can skip the 3rd and ignore the ones after Salvation, imho).
              • The Usual Suspects.
              • Zoolander.
              • Inglorious Basterds.

              Memento is shockingly left off most lists. Idk why it isn’t remembered as one of the best films of its decade.

                  Flow - if you like cats and beautiful animation.

                  Dave Made A Maze - is a fun watch with good writing.

                  Death Of Stalin - will be funny to you if you like British comedy.

                  Prospect - interesting scifi with Pedro Pascal (who I mistook for Nathan Fillion till I looked the cast up, lmao)

                  Triangle - well done time travel fuckery

                  Arq - more time travel fuckery

                  Primer - yet more time travel fuckery

                  Edit: pretty sure the title of the post has changed, or I somehow just didn't notice it fully before? Idk, none of the movies I've listed are 'must watch' they're just fun watches. I don't think any film is really a must watch.

                            Gah, I’ve tried to sit down and watch Flow on like 3 occasions. The lack of dialogue is a dealbreaker for my wife and kids. I got about halfway through it once and really enjoyed it!

                                I’d add Saving Private Ryan to the list.

                                The opening sequence is just abhorrent and showcases the reality of war far better than any other war movie I have seen.

                                  Gah, I’ve tried to sit down and watch Flow on like 3 occasions. The lack of dialogue is a dealbreaker for my wife and kids. I got about halfway through it once and really enjoyed it!

                                  Watch it alone at some point.

                                  The lack of dialogue was one of the best things about Flow for me, after the cat, so much was 'said' without ever needing words and the acting of all the animals was captivatingly well done.

                                    That’s the plan! I’m just never alone! Part of the problem is that I want to watch it all in one sitting, which is extra difficult.

                                      I'm not a huge movie fan, but I want to broaden my horizons a bit. I'll offer my list (that I've rewatched so many times I'm a bit tired of them):
