    One is not enough, and a lot of great movies where already named, still, some great movies are missing:

    • Heat (Michael Mann) Every single time I see it, it is brilliant and I discover something new
    • Jin Roh (The original animation movie), awesome atmosphere and only after the 2nd viewing one can really appreciate it
    • Near Dark (1987) Why the hell did nobody ever produce something like this ever again?
    • Miami Vice (Michael Mann), ‘Style over substance’, in a great way, although I have the shaky camera
    • Seven Samurai
    • Casablanca
    • Strange Days
    • Point Break
    • XXX (Nobody understood that it was a parody back in the days :-P)
    • What we do in the shadows
    • Brazil
    • Rocky
    • Eternal Sunshine …
    • The city of lost children
    • Leon the professional
    • Dolls
    • The Killer (The original of course)
    • The last unicorn
    • Dark City
    • The thing
    • The Lost Boys
    • Spirited Away
    • Donnie Darko
    • Rashomon
    • Brother (2000)
    • Parasite
    • Hatsukoi (First Love)

    … from the top of my mind. :-P

    It’s a tie between The Motorcycle Diaries and Howl’s Moving Castle.

    The first I found extremely touching, the second is just incredibly magical and charming.

      I first saw it in a completely empty theater as a teen. The visuals are obviously amazing, and I really liked the story, until the last bit - back then I was annoyed that they suddenly jumped from scientific accuracy towards feelings and emotions.

      It took me a long time to properly understand the metaphor and message, but now I love it all the more!

    Lots of great picks here! I could go with a dozen that have already been mentioned, but I will throw out Blade Runner. The look, the feel, the sound, the ideas… Rutger Hauer’s classic monologue, Sean Young at peak compelling…

    Favorite is difficult and changes over time. But it’s gonna be one of these:

    • The Big Lebowski
    • Monty Python and the Holy Grail
    • Clerks
    • Tron
    • Airplane!
    • Die Hard
    • Escape From New York

    Now I think The Pianist is the best movie of all time, which is a different thing, but that newer movie 1917 sure competes.
