Anyway. I have a ton of favourite films, but the ones listed here are my absolute faves (as of 2019). They're all so incredible, some of them extremely underrated (at least I think so, lol) and I hope you'll give one or two of them a watch and end up loving them as much as I do!
1: Miss Sloane.
So, so underrated. Chastain deserved an Oscar.
I will never stop recommending this movie. It should have won multiple Oscars, and I'm still so furious and so bewildered that it didn't. With a gripping plot that will leave you speechless with shock - not least at its magnificently tragic end - and with a quiet, powerful, and heart-rending performance by Amy Adams, it's easily deserving of accolades.
I'm not even a sci-fi fan, but I was captivated by this movie.
P.S.
Be warned: that ending hits hard.
I finally got round to seeing this movie a few weeks ago and OH MY WORD WHY DIDN'T I WATCH IT SOONER. I thought Marvel's films were good, but this - this masterpiece by Christopher Nolan - is on level all by itself. The cast, the writing, the characters, the action, the production.....everything is flawlessly executed.
I have actually seen the third Batman film in the trilogy (watched it years ago and why I watched that one first who knows) and hated it (it was so so so so long and Anne Hathaway was terrible). But this movie - this movie is Batman.
Please can Bale and Nolan come back.
In my opinion, this is the best Jane Austen film adaption. I love Winslet and Thompson's Sense & Sensibility, but Paltrow's Emma is on another level. It wraps you in a fluffy cocoon of humour, love, and irresistible characters, and takes you on a spellbinding journey. I laughed out loud - I fell in love. It's a beautiful film, perfect for when you need something light and heartwarming.
I'm on....rewatch #5, I think?
2: Arrival.

3: Batman Begins.

4: Emma.

5: Fracture.
This was the thriller that got me loving thriller films. It is utterly gripping, with a spectacular plot and mystery and shot full of twists you'll never see coming.
Gosling and Hopkins are superb, too. I've re-watched the film at least three times.
