Kipper (1997)

My parents would put this on for me every day basically as soon as I was born. It mesmerized me despite almost nothing happening-- I think it trained my tolerance for long films.

The Princess Bride (1987)

hclifford25 — 2025-01-18 00:25:55 UTC

I've seen this countless times, it was my first fantasy film and is such a timeless piece of comedy and romance.

TÁR (2022)

hclifford25 — 2025-01-18 21:10:53 UTC

The film that made me want to dive headfirst into film as a whole; such an immaculate study of character and precision by Todd Field. I can only hope one day I'll make something this good.

Black Swan (2012)

hclifford25 — 2025-01-18 21:14:04 UTC

One of the first films that made me think about it for many nights. A pinnacle of psychological horror and prefaced my future love of the genre.

The Birdcage (1996)

hclifford25 — 2025-01-18 21:17:05 UTC

My parent's favorite film, and one they showed me when I was probably too young to see. A celebration of culture that fills me with joy every time I watch.

Persona (1966)

hclifford25 — 2025-01-18 21:24:04 UTC

My first Bergman film and one that will undeniably remain in my subconscious forever. A mastery of contrast and pacing.

Lost In Translation (2003)

hclifford25 — 2025-01-18 21:29:39 UTC

SOFIA COPPOLA'S BEST FILM!!!!! Does an incredible job of encapsulating the isolation and simultaneous fascination of traveling alone. Scarlett Johansson delivers an incredible performance at 17.

Ex Machina (2015)

hclifford25 — 2025-01-18 21:34:15 UTC

Refined the suspense of Black Swan while leaning into more sci-fi. Chefs kiss. Beautiful example of dynamic settings.

Call Me By Your Name (2017)

hclifford25 — 2025-01-18 21:39:23 UTC

One of the first times I felt truly seen on screen. Watching this in sixth grade definitely ruined me but Guadagnino is so tender in his work it was worth it.

Sharp Objects (2018)

hclifford25 — 2025-01-18 21:49:41 UTC

Amy Adams we will get you that Emmy one day. Such an insane portrayal of Americana and plot-twist ending that makes you feel like you've been shot straight to the heart.

Y Tu Mamá También (2001)

hclifford25 — 2025-01-18 22:00:45 UTC

Disregards precision and allows you to sink into the summer. I wish I could reach through the screen and allow myself to fall into this film. A masterclass in love and atmosphere.

Infinity Pool (2023)

hclifford25 — 2025-01-18 22:29:22 UTC

A dive into the grotesque; Cronenberg carries on his father's legacy well and does it with FUN! Alexander Skarsgård's entire presence is unsettling.

La Pianiste (2001)

hclifford25 — 2025-01-19 02:58:12 UTC

Isabelle Huppert is captivating beyond belief, and her performance is incomparable. A fantastic character that will never leave my mind.

Parts Unknown (2012)

hclifford25 — 2025-01-20 05:32:35 UTC

I would always watch this with my parents while eating dinner, and I would credit Bourdain for expanding my personal perception of other cultures and customs. A master of his work, RIP.
