I’m not super into films, so doing ten feels a bit daunting, but if I had a try, I guess:
(Alphabethically)
- Akira (1988)
- Alice in Wonderland (1915)
- Angel’s Egg (1985)
- Blade Runner (1982)
- The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
- Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)
- Labyrinth (1986)
- The Life Aquatic (2005)
- Night on the Galactic Railroad (1985)
- Resan till Melonia (1989)
Half of this list feels desperate. I like films you can hang out in, but it doesn’t seem like people wanna make those.

Fallen Angels was one of my honorables!
(I deleted this and then posted it again.)

It’s great! Tbh any wong kar wai film could have took that spot—I almost included Happy Together instead
This was a surprisingly hard exercise! I keep thinking about other movies that I also love, in particular Sadko (1953) that’s probably one of the most hauntingly beautiful movies I’ve ever seen. I might have to revisit my list to see if there are any that I like slightly less than it because dang it deserves to make my top 10!
There are also tons of movies that are fun to watch but that aren’t actually great or even good.

I just did it off the cuff because I knew if I thought too hard I’d never post anything. I do see some things in here that I wish I had picked already but that’s the way it goes

I’m surprised that it doesn’t get talked about more on here but maybe because it’s the most “mainstream” of the “wacky” movies? I also debated between suspiria for this one. both came out in 1977!

Won’t make my list (I think), but The Rock is fantastic.

Are you saying Escape from New York is a western? Because if you are, this is now my opinion as well
