For my own reference (since I was asked in class recently), in no particular order:
- Before Sunrise (and its sequels Before Sunset and Before Midnight)
- Hable con Ella (in English, Talk to Her)
- Twin Falls Idaho
- The Rock (even if it’s super mainstream, there’s something about it that I really love—maybe it’s Sean Connery?)
- Good bye, Lenin!
- Say Anything
- Zombadings!
- Battle Royale
- The Departed (yes, even more than the movie it’s based on, Infernal Affairs)
- The Conversation
Honorable mention (aka movies I used to say were my favorites, but now I am not too sure anymore): Finding Nemo, Seven, Run Lola Run, Inception, The Shawshank Redemption, Gravity (undecided)
