Mine is Lost Highway. It's one of the most amazing pieces of media I've ever experienced. It's dark, surreal, and I still don't know what it's about for sure. I have my own interpretation, as do many others. Who's right? We'll never know. The film is a fucking trip. I highly recommend.

Sunshine. It's one of the only non fiction cosmic horror films I know of. That experience of awe and insignificance at the sovereignty of the sun moved me. And recently I got to experience it first hand just like in the film, and for the half second I comprehended the size of sun it was.. terrifying.

The movie has it's faults, but it's one of only a few films that put us in our place.

Sunshine definitely wasn't non-fiction lol
