The Virgin Suicides for me. I bought it last week and haven’t been able to work up the gumption to watch it yet. Maybe tonight.

    I, Daniel Blake

    When I say ‘favourite’, I mean it’s the most compelling, devastating, truthful movie I’ve ever seen that I was transfixed by for it’s entire duration, and never want to see again.

    I’ve been on job seeker’s allowance. I’ve suffered the indignity of the weekly visits to the job centre to be sneered at for not applying for an adequate number of jobs, of for not just accepting the first shitty delivery jobs on the list. But I was lucky enough to be healthy. I can’t imagine having to deal with all that shit while also being sick.

    Happiness (1998) is extremely dark and very funny at the same time

    The War Zone (1999) is relentlessly bleak and uncomfortable

    La la land. Not the whole movie but the scene at the end always makes me emotional. It reminds of my ex, who I spent almost 10 years with. What if our relationship worked out?

    The Art of Racing in the Rain (and also the book). No matter how many times I watch it, I’m going to cry every time

    Battle Royale (original Japanese version). The plot and development is horrifying in its own right, and after it ends and the credits rolled, the class picture is shown. It’s absolutely gutting (I bawled - I have never cried after a psychological horror film before or since this movie).
