Just name the movies you think everyone should have seen at least once in their lifetime. Go!
Idiocracy. It was funny when it came out. Now it hurts.
That might explain why I didn’t like it too much. I saw it last year, it probably hits too close to home :/
I can’t believe no one has said Tucker and Dale vs Evil yet. It’s best if you watch it without knowing anything about it beforehand.

Shoutout for mentioning Brick. Modern noir masterpiece I never see mentioned online. Great, eclectic list overall!
I fucking love In the Loop, but it took me a few viewings to understand what the hell was going on. I should watch it again.
The TV show was really good too, but the movie captures the absurdity so well.
Movie was more accessible, Thick of It series was blacker, crueller humour
Because I haven’t seen it mentioned:
They Live
I grew up with Duke Nukem and later found a lot of his quotes were from that movie.
The Road, so people should know what to expect in a decade or so.
I haven’t seen it posted here yet so I’d like to add one of my favorites, Big Fish.
Secretary (2002)
Think what you want, this movie has layers of depth to it. Every time I watch it I feel like I learn something new about a character and why they are the way they are.
A bunch of other people have mentioned Ghibli movies and since I’m in the middle of a binge through every Ghibli movie I think I’ll recommend one that I hadn’t seen before a few days ago: Only Yesterday or Omoide Poroporo.
It’s Isao Takahata, not Miyazaki, but it’s easily my favorite Ghibli movie and one of my favorite movies of all time. It feels so real and relatable, the whole movie is essentially a really slow-paced series of flashbacks to the main character’s 10-year-old self and every detail is so well-thought-out and interesting.
Very worth watching, although I’ll mention as a disclaimer that all the friends I was watching it with thought it was super pointless and boring.The Princess Bride
That’s inconceivable!
