- DirectorDaniel KwanDaniel ScheinertStarsPaul DanoDaniel RadcliffeMary Elizabeth WinsteadA hopeless man stranded on a deserted island befriends a dead body, and together they go on a surreal journey to get home.This love story between a person and himself always makes me feel at peace when things are out of control.
- DirectorJim JarmuschStarsAdam DriverGolshifteh FarahaniNellieA quiet observation of the triumphs and defeats of daily life, along with the poetry evident in its smallest details.Being a big Jim Jarmusch fan this is the one film, i love the most amongst his movies. It's one of the most beautiful and quiet movies I've ever seen, I just can re-watch it over and over again. It is indeed one of the best movies I have ever seen.
- DirectorJean-Pierre MelvilleStarsAlain DelonFrançois PérierNathalie DelonAfter professional hitman Jef Costello is seen by witnesses his efforts to provide himself an alibi drive him further into a corner.I love movies where loneliness is shown in a really beautiful way, and this one is just a poem about loneliness and isolation.
- DirectorDenis VilleneuveStarsAmy AdamsJeremy RennerForest WhitakerA linguist works with the military to communicate with alien lifeforms after twelve mysterious spacecraft appear around the world.Probably the best movie ever made related with Aliens, If there ever would be a time where Aliens came to earth, after seeing this movie they wouldn't think we're that stupid after all.
- DirectorKenneth LonerganStarsCasey AffleckMichelle WilliamsKyle ChandlerA depressed uncle is asked to take care of his teenage nephew after the boy's father dies.One of the best dramas I've ever seen, which I can't describe my admiration of it with words. The police station scene alone is just a masterpiece.
- DirectorSpike JonzeStarsJoaquin PhoenixAmy AdamsScarlett JohanssonIn a near future, a lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with an operating system designed to meet his every need.This one is of those movies that I really feel close with since I spend a lot of my times alone, it might not be exactly how I feel but I still very much enjoy the movie's take on loneliness and modern life.
- DirectorStephen ChboskyStarsLogan LermanEmma WatsonEzra MillerCharlie, a 15-year-old introvert, enters high school and is nervous about his new life. When he befriends his seniors, he learns to cope with his friend's suicide and his tumultuous past.This one is a must in a Wallflower's "Best Movies List".
- DirectorJordan Vogt-RobertsStarsNick RobinsonGabriel BassoMoises AriasThree teenage friends, in the ultimate act of independence, decide to spend their summer building a house in the woods and living off the land.There are some movies that you just enjoy, no matter how much you watch it you still enjoy it, this is one of them movies for me and I feel like Biaggio has a real big part in making this movie enjoyable for me in every re-watch.
- DirectorMarc WebbStarsZooey DeschanelJoseph Gordon-LevittGeoffrey ArendAfter being dumped by the girl he believes to be his soulmate, hopeless romantic Tom Hansen reflects on their relationship to try and figure out where things went wrong and how he can win her back.This is one of the best movies made about love (notice how I didn't say "love story" since it's not one) Joseph Gordon is one of my absolute favorite actors, who really knows what projects to do and this one is just one of the best ones which i can watch and watch again.
- DirectorJohn CarneyStarsGlen HansardMarkéta IrglováHugh WalshA modern-day musical about a busker and an immigrant and their eventful week in Dublin, as they write, rehearse and record songs that tell their love story.This is again one of those movies that I have probably watched over 50 times, and every time the songs get better. I don't even know how that's possible.
- DirectorDamien ChazelleStarsMiles TellerJ.K. SimmonsMelissa BenoistA promising young drummer enrolls at a cut-throat music conservatory where his dreams of greatness are mentored by an instructor who will stop at nothing to realize a student's potential.Every time J.K Simmons entered the scene I was nervous that he was going to get out of the screen and slap the hell out of me.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppWinona RyderDianne WiestThe solitary life of an artificial man - who was incompletely constructed and has scissors for hands - is upended when he is taken in by a suburban family.This has to be the most innocent love story I have ever seen, and I have an unconditional love for it. And no one else could play Edward better than Johnny Depp.
- DirectorJohn Michael McDonaghStarsBrendan GleesonChris O'DowdKelly ReillyAfter he is threatened during a confession, a good-natured priest must battle the dark forces closing in around him.This one I just can't describe with words, if I attempted to, I would probably go on for hours. It's just a damn masterpiece, with one of the greatest openings of cinema.
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsJesse EisenbergAndrew GarfieldJustin TimberlakeAs Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg creates the social networking site that would become known as Facebook, he is sued by the twins who claimed he stole their idea and by the co-founder who was later squeezed out of the business.Who the hell can make a thriller out of a movie about Facebook? Oh right, Fincher.
- DirectorYorgos LanthimosStarsColin FarrellRachel WeiszJessica BardenIn a dystopian near future, according to the laws of The City, single people are taken to The Hotel, where they are obliged to find a romantic partner in 45 days or they're transformed into beasts and sent off into The Woods.Even hearing the name of this movie gives me the chill, everything about it is masterfull. And Lanthimos' next film is just as good.
- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsEthan HawkeJulie DelpyAndrea EckertA young man and woman meet on a train in Europe, and wind up spending one evening together in Vienna. Unfortunately, both know that this will probably be their only night together.This one is a representative of the whole trilogy, there has never been a greater trilogy in cinema (yes even better than Nolan's Batman trilogy, in my mind) It delivers a realistic and yet beautiful picture of love. What Linklater does in all of his films, just showing you how things are in real world, and how beautiful it is too.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioEmily MortimerMark RuffaloTeddy Daniels and Chuck Aule, two US marshals, are sent to an asylum on a remote island in order to investigate the disappearance of a patient, where Teddy uncovers a shocking truth about the place.I've got a great amount of love for Thriller/Mysteries, and this one just nails the Genre.
- DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsJennifer LawrenceJavier BardemEd HarrisA couple's relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence.*mother! is the new Space Odyssey.
- DirectorGaspar NoéStarsNathaniel BrownPaz de la HuertaCyril RoyAn American drug dealer living in Tokyo is betrayed by his best friend and killed in a drug deal. His soul, observing the repercussions of his death, seeks resurrection.One of the greatest cinematic experiences you could ask for. Oh, and it even works better if you're high.
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsMorgan FreemanBrad PittKevin SpaceyTwo detectives, a rookie and a veteran, hunt a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his motives.How can you be a Mystery fan and not love Se7en, the scene with John Doe in the police station still gives me the chills when I watch it.
- DirectorAsghar FarhadiStarsShahab HosseiniTaraneh AlidoostiMaral BaniadamWhile Ranaa and Emad, a married couple, are participating in a production of "Death of a Salesman," she is assaulted in their new home, which leaves him determined to find the perpetrator over his wife's traumatized objections.This movie is one those movies that I can understand everything that the characters are feeling because the writing is so good. and that last scene is just a character study on a whole another level.
- DirectorBilly WilderStarsJack LemmonShirley MacLaineFred MacMurrayA Manhattan insurance clerk tries to rise in his company by letting its executives use his apartment for trysts, but complications and a romance of his own ensue.The movie where if the ending was otherwise I would never watch a Billy Wilder movie again. That's how you do happy endings.
- DirectorWes AndersonStarsRalph FiennesF. Murray AbrahamMathieu AmalricA writer encounters the owner of an aging high-class hotel, who tells him of his early years serving as a lobby boy in the hotel's glorious years under an exceptional concierge.This list would not be complete without a Wes Anderson movie. I wanted to choose The Darjeeling Limited but figured this one would do more justice.
- DirectorJim JarmuschStarsTilda SwintonTom HiddlestonMia WasikowskaA depressed musician reunites with his lover. However, their romance, which has already endured several centuries, is disrupted by the arrival of her uncontrollable younger sister.My second favorite film of Jim Jarmusch.
- DirectorPeter WeirStarsJim CarreyEd HarrisLaura LinneyAn insurance salesman discovers his whole life is actually a reality TV show.This one is one of the most important movies about identity and self-awareness, something that all humans deal with in their lifetime.
