│  Saw Donny Darko with the wife. It's an interesting movie: it
│  encourages us to doubt objectivity, reality, virtue, truth while
│  also encouraging the audience to sympathize with a psychotic vandal,
│  criminal, killer.
│  
│  20+ years after the fact, I'll say Donny Darko is not so "DEEP" or
│  world changing, especially relative to all the multiverse / timeline
│  hopping stuff that became so trendy since its release, but it's still
│  a fine movie to watch and enjoy for its general conceit...

│   Moon (2009) is a good one. Guy goes up to the moon and finds something
│   that he's not supposed to.

│   I remember Noroi: The Curse being pretty good. Weird mockumentary/found footage
│   kind of thing about this girl who's cursed by an ancient god or something, and
│   there's this tinfoil hat schizo guy that helps them get out of it.
│   They all die at the end, though

│     this one's a classic. I'm so glad it was shot in black and white. Not a
│     hipster, but black and white can be so kino. Don't you think
│     Dr Strangelove (1964) would be so worse in color?
│     
│     I saw the new Godzilla Minus One in color then later saw the B+W one.
│     that was somehow way better.

│   El Topo is a good one - a psychedelic Western released in 1970.
│   
│   It's about a gunslinger in a nameless desert searching for enlightenment. The
│   movie deals heavily in Western and Eastern spiritual symbolism and philosophy.
│   A lot of bizarre occurences and characters - the movie at parts is very surreal
│   and almost comedic and in others is dramatic or very violent.
│   
│   It's been watched by and has inspired a lot of creatives and in my opinion
│   should be watched at least once by anybody who says they enjoy cinema.
