I wanna know what truly is your favorite film. I'm not asking you what's a good film. Don't give me answers that's going to try and make you look good like some obscure shit. I want genuine answers. What is a film that you emotionally felt connected to? Could be Frozen, could be anything, just type it down here. No bad answers.

Pic related, either of the two.

>>70342399
I think you're being a bit pretentious yourself tbph, OP. If you truly want non-pretentious answers I'd think the only genuine ones would be the ones like you implied. Frozen. A kids movie. Here's mine.

Impossible to answer. It's like asking for a favourite song. There are too many. They all bring out different emotions when I see them.

My guess is OP is not old enough to appreciate this and only want to see things in black and white. Not trying to be a dick. I used to be like that too.

Probably this film:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_Condition_%28film_series%29

Before I saw it, I thought it WAS an "art-film." It's not. It's a straightforward and brutal war-film, done from the perspective of military occupation forces facing utter ruin.

Das Boot is up there, too, and has similar themes.

Pic related. I have probably watched it more than any other film in my life. It is what I consider a perfect movie. Not perfect in that everyone likes it. But perfect in that it doesn't fail at any one thing. All categories of filmmaking are executed perfectly. I also love supernatural horror and it gets me every time.

This.
It got a mixed reception and most people generally forgot about it, but the atmosphere, the soundtrack, the performances, I love almost everything about this movie.

I like love stories that don't have some forced hurdles or anything, just a story about a guy who loves a girl more than anything and the loss he feels when she dies is very well portrayed by Jackman

The Spanish scenes felt somewhat out of place, but I don't mind them.

Holy shit, this right here.

I'll admit that it has a ton of flaws, but to me it'll always be a favorite.

The first time I saw it, it hit me hard. I fucking bawled my eyes out. I still watch it every now and then.

Regardless of how anyone feels about the movie, it has the best Clint Mansell Soundtrack and the visuals are fucking gorgeous.
