I would add Sixth Sense to the list. It was a phenomenon at the time and definitely blew my mind the first time I saw it.

It's a different genre, but The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) has a lot to take in.
One of my favourite movies, and incredibly funny when it wants to be.

Man In Bruges was a great film. I found it funny all the way through. I loved Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleason in there, they work so well together. Definitely something I can watch again anytime and get a lot of enjoyment.

My thought is that "Fight Club" is missing in that list.

A Scanner Darkly (2006) an underrated surreal masterpiece. The rotoscope has aged beautifully, cast is next to none. Solid list by the way.

As cool as skyfall was they should have stayed in my opinion was this version of the character for at least one film before turning into the suited clean cut professional. The broken, work in progress brute in the government agency was so compelling and made for a great film
Used to watch this all the time when I was a younger teenager

Sneaky Pete is one of my favorites on amazon.
Premise (from wikipedia):
Sneaky Pete follows Marius, a con man who gets out of prison only to find himself hunted by the vicious gangster he once robbed. With nowhere else to turn, Marius takes cover from his past by assuming the identity of his cellmate, Pete and then "reunites" with Pete's estranged family — who have no reason to suspect he is not their long-lost loved one.

Correction. You are wrong.
The reason we even have anything resembling rights, standard of living etc is because people voice their disapproval. Tolerance is not benevolent.

I would argue Skyfall is the best. From start to finish it is the quintessential Bond film. Both my top two, however.

They also use different cameras than they used too, it’s why the original Jurassic park is so much better. Wide lenses allowed them to capture the sheer size of the dinos compared to the humans, modern films you’ll see close ups only involve the Dinos face. Hence Jurassic world feeling flat with no gravitas.

I want a free pass to smash every single phone that gets used to make a picture during a cool moment, and a ass whooping if the flash is used.

Reply to Did anyone see Nope (2022) and now has an irrational fear of clouds? Because same. by OrdinaryAd5522
There was a story on tape I listened to as a wee kid. About 8 years old. About a little girl who loved looking at the clouds.
Then, one day, she looked up and noticed a face in the clouds. She thought it was just the shape but noticed that the longer she looked at it, the more real of a shape it seemed to get.
When she was going to school, she glanced up out of nervousness and noticed that the cloud was bad and now it was watching her. It had nestled between two other clouds, and she could see the stormy gray eyes watching her every movement, and worse of all, it had a very defined face now...
As the week went on, the sky grew darker and cloudier until one day she was at school and saw the face, no longer hiding partially, staring hungrily at her. She paniced and screamed and screamed. Her teachers could not calm her down, so her parents were called to pick her up.
As they drove home, a thick fog rolled through the town. She kept begging for her parents to stop driving and get inside, anywhere, but they thought she was being hysterical...
Then, out of the fog came the face. Its cloudy teeth parting as the car drove closer. She screamed as the sound of crunching metal and breaking glass defeaning her...
She woke up two days later in the hospital. She had been pulled out of the wreakage of their car, which was found wrapped around a tree. Doctors blamed the fog but were puzzled... puzzled by the fact her parents were nowhere to be found...
But she knew the truth...
The episode on this cassette ends with her looking outside to see a single cloud in the blue sky...and she could see that face, ill defined...staring at her... and licking its lips...
That made me terrified of clouds.
The short story Cloud Cover from the book The Walking Trees and Other Scary Stories by Roberta Simpson. It is on audio for digital download now.

Great film, yeah it's before she started to go for that old 40's femme fatale look she does so well. She was perfectly cast as she looked like she would have fitted in with Nouvelle Vague film scene. She definitely left her mark in that film.
