Wings of Desire (and Wim Wenders in general) is AMAZING, but it requires a... sort of quiet solitude such as a theater where the length and pacing won't lead to distractions. I love that movie and the rest of the set.
It's an amazing film, which makes the sequel, Faraway, So Close even more bizarre... it's the polar opposite.

Please give this most amazing movie a look: Stay. Very mind bending and great acting by Ryan gosling, Ewan Mcgregor, Naomi Watts.

Damn, I haven't watched 99% of these in the comments, I think I might be too picky about what to watch.

There's a lot of movies I really like. But I believe these to be my all time favorites:
Master and Commander
Rogue One
Tron: Legacy
Arrival
Tron has an amazing soundtrack.
The wicker man (1973)
Shaun of the dead
The Shawshank redemption
The thing
Shaun of the Dead is so good! I can't believe I missed it from my list. Pretty much anything by Edgar Wright is amazing, I even enjoyed Midnight In Soho, which was his weird Giallo horror tribute.
Yeah I need to get round to watching midnight in Soho lol
I'm more into just about anything animated, so my list is absolutely biased against most any live action film:
• Prince of Egypt ( Pixar's last good film before they started flying off a cliff, in my opinion )
• An American Tail ( Fivek Goes West as well, but the first one is definitely better )
• The Land Before Time ( specifically movies 1 & 5 since they're my favorites of the overdone franchise )
• Secret of NIMH
I can't think of any others off the top of my head that aren't your standard 1970s animated Robin Hood ( the dosney one ) or Zootopia, but I can't say I'd put them up there despite how much I adore those movies.
Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite is a masterful film in every aspect. See also:
