- DirectorJim JarmuschStarsAdam DriverGolshifteh FarahaniNellieA quiet observation of the triumphs and defeats of daily life, along with the poetry evident in its smallest details.These first three movies are all decently long and don't really have any cohesive plot lol but I think just kind of pull you in with the characters and how they frame kind of mundane situations
- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsJason LondonWiley WigginsMatthew McConaugheyThe adventures of high school and junior high students on the last day of school in May 1976.again, not much plot but pretty funny and the origin of Matthew Mcconaughey's "alright, alright, alright"
- DirectorAndrea ArnoldStarsSasha LaneShia LaBeoufRiley KeoughA teenage girl with nothing to lose joins a traveling magazine sales crew, and gets caught up in a whirlwind of hard partying, law bending and young love as she criss-crosses the Midwest with a band of misfits.Suuuuper interesting and beautiful movie. Shia Labeouf is insane but also really good. Also a lot of the actors in the movie (including the lead actress) had never acted before and the director kind of just met them on the street and put them in the movie which is awesome
- 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.Wes Anderson is so fun and his movies are so cool visually and have really cool colors and fun absurd situations so this and Moonrise Kingdom will definitely be a good time
- DirectorWes AndersonStarsJared GilmanKara HaywardBruce WillisTwo 12-year-olds, who live on an island, fall in love with each other and elope into the wilderness. While people set out on a search mission, a violent storm approaching them catches their attention.Same fun style as Grand Budapest even though its a different kind of vibe. Kind of fun/childhood adventure vibes
- 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.My fav Tim Burton movie
- DirectorGillian RobespierreStarsJenny SlateJake LacyGaby HoffmannA twenty-something comedienne's unplanned pregnancy forces her to confront the realities of independent womanhood for the first time.The funniest movie about a pretty serious topic i've ever seen
- DirectorJames MangoldStarsWinona RyderAngelina JolieClea DuVallA directionless teenager, Susanna, is rushed to Claymoore, a mental institution, after a supposed suicide attempt. There, she befriends a group of troubled women who deeply influence her life.If I had to chose just one movie I would recommend it would probably be this one. It can be a little intense at times but its just so well written and directed and acted and is such an interesting story and is based on a book and is just wow so good
- DirectorJulie TaymorStarsSalma HayekAlfred MolinaGeoffrey RushA biography of artist Frida Kahlo, who channeled the pain of a crippling injury and her tempestuous marriage into her work.Really cool mixing of the film/visual art genres and also pretty honest about Frida's politics and stuff
- DirectorRick FamuyiwaStarsShameik MooreTony RevoloriKiersey ClemonsLife changes for Malcolm, a geek who's surviving life in a tough neighborhood, after a chance invitation to an underground party leads him and his friends into a Los Angeles adventure.Suuuch a good soundtrack and overall the title pretty much speaks for itself
- DirectorJon FavreauStarsJon FavreauRobert Downey Jr.Scarlett JohanssonA head chef quits his restaurant job and buys a food truck in an effort to reclaim his creative promise, while piecing back together his estranged family.Great feel good movie. Maybe watch after Lion or Girl, Interrupted haha
- DirectorEdgar WrightStarsMichael CeraMary Elizabeth WinsteadKieran CulkinIn a magically realistic version of Toronto, a young man must defeat his new girlfriend's seven evil exes one by one in order to win her heart.Fun and comic book-y with really cool graphics
- DirectorGarth DavisStarsDev PatelNicole KidmanRooney MaraA five-year-old Indian boy is adopted by an Australian couple after getting lost hundreds of kilometers from home. 25 years later, he sets out to find his lost family.You will definitely cry but its worth it and Dev Patel is a gift from god.
- DirectorOlivier NakacheÉric ToledanoStarsFrançois CluzetOmar SyAnne Le NyAfter he becomes a quadriplegic from a paragliding accident, an aristocrat hires a young man from the projects to be his caregiver.A ~French~ movie so there will be subtitles but its hilarious and I feel like you forget about the subtitles pretty quickly because you’re laughing so much. One of the best feel good movies in my opinion
- DirectorRichard CurtisStarsDomhnall GleesonRachel McAdamsBill NighyAt the age of 21, Tim discovers he can travel in time and change what happens and has happened in his own life. His decision to make his world a better place by getting a girlfriend turns out not to be as easy as you might think.You may also cry a little but this movie is so good and pure and funny 10/10 would recommend the crying will probably be a happy cry
- DirectorTaika WaititiStarsSam NeillJulian DennisonRima Te WiataA national manhunt is ordered for a rebellious kid and his foster uncle who go missing in the wild New Zealand bush.Just hilarious wow
