Too lazy to keep scrolling but I havenβt yet seen mentions of Lilo & Stitch (the best movie Disney ever made) and Dark City (the directorβs cut and if you havenβt seen it donβt spoil it, just watch it).
β¦and now Iβm seeing a bit of a tone difference between them
Superbad
The list of these films is short. To be exact, its probably only "Blow" (I think its from the year 2000). Its the story of one of the biggest cocaine smugglers in the US (his name was George Young). I can definitely recommend it.
- Blade Runner
- Any Mad Max movie
- Alien
- Aliens

I've also seen some films multiple times due to having kids, but I can only think of Toy Story now.
