Hey lovely people, Does anyone have any good movie recommendations? I'm open to all genres and i have a lot of free time so i dont really have nothing better to do.
Games recommendations work too!

God Told Me To (1972) is a pretty gritty 70s crime thriller that resonates with Homestuck in places.
If you have not seen Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, then change that immediately. Genuinely the funniest movie conceivable and super ahead of its time
Also, The People's Joker. A queer reimagining of Batman lore that's very off the wall, extremely vulnerable, and fucking hilarious. It may not be everyone's cup of tea (the mish-mash of low-budget visual styles is something you'll either ride or die for), but my rule of thumb when recommending it is "If you think you'll like it, you will."
Gorgo is pretty good
If two girls were on the moon how long would it take for them to kiss?
my number one movie recommendation would be Contact (1997) which john egbert has a poster of on his wall and then it never comes up again (i also have the poster). other movies i love are Ex Machina (2015), The Truman Show (1998), Hackers (1995) and Spy Kids 3D: Game Over (2003). basically i like movies that explore technology/science/media and their impact on society in some way
problem sleuth is transgender
my first rec is always gonna be do the right thing, maybe the most energetic film i've ever seen, not to mention among the most resonant (when it hurts, it HURTS). spike lee's filmography in general has a lot of hits, even among his newer work (da 5 bloods is the only american vietnam war movie ive seen that even tries to give a shit abt vietnamese people).
any of chantal akerman's early films is worth a watch too, especially if you're a lesbian with mental illness or complicated feelings about your mother.
FEMALE HOMOSEXUAL DETECTED.
serious rec: The thief and the cobbler is a MARVEL of animation expretise and pretty much just showing off what richard williams (the creator) is capable of
funny rec: Free birds is free on youtube if youre ever bored ig

FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. My favorite movie of all time. 2 severely morally questionable people speedrun every drug known 2 man in Vegas in search of the American dream. its just. so good. seen it 30 times. in fact I watched it last night. peak.
The wind of life and air from above smells of death
Angels sing of the end
There's nothing you say and nothing you try can change time
Human race prepares to die
electric dreams (1984) is pretty baller

If your in a "stupid but fun" movie mood then I would totally recommend Freaked, Chopping Mall, Night of the Creeps, or Weekend at Bernie's
seconding @ozuzo! the fall (2006) is an amazing film + best experienced on the big screen!!!
i enjoy saying hi! please say hi, too, if you'd like.
the fall is pretty good despite what it did to me.
Ridley Scott is one of my favorite directors, Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982) are basically classics and has aged ridiculously well.
Mulholland Drive (2001) is a perfect movie for me but it contains violence, nudity, extremely mature topics, and horror bits but nonetheless is written and shot amazingly. The cinematography is the best David Lynch has ever done.
If you like weird arthouse stuff I recommend Tie Xi Qu (2002), it's a 9-hour long movie of a guy with a cheap camera filming various parts of a declining Chinese industrial city as the economic policies start shifting from rigid communism to more free markets. It has a very thick smog-filled apocalyptic dystopian atmosphere that you never get tired of. It follows the lives of teens living in a soon-to-be-demolished neighborhood, a father-and son scrapping duo, and the workers of a failing steel factory. It's far more interesting than it sounds.
