2001: A Space Odyssey 1968
I have never more blown away by a movie before. 2001: A Space Odyssey is a psychedelic experience of visual story telling. The sharp vibrant colors, the selective lighting, the spinning sets, the meticulous camera work are so hypnotic. Kubrick uses all these tools submerge the audience into the ambiguous narrative.

Chungking Express 1994
I love the setup here: The quirky individual voiceovers and jump from perspective to perspective.The film was pretty clever and charming at the same time.

It's Such a Beautiful Day 2012
Simple animation and a thoughtful meditation on existentialism. Who woulda thought it would be a great combo? I feel like this is a must-have experience. Watching this film makes you think about your own life: childhood, parents, distant relatives, friends, time wasted, and your own mortality. I think we all want to have meaningful lives, but we gotta live one day at a time. I definitely wanna revisit this film in a year and see where I'm at

It's ironic this was directed by a guy named Story, considering it was the worst aspect of the film.
