Here are my top 5 favorite movies:
1. Modern Times – It was groundbreaking in its depiction of industrialization and the replacement of manpower by machinery, which is still relevant today. Personally, it resonates because I relate to stories where everything goes wrong but the character just smiles and keeps going.
2. Ikiru – I actually think this might be the best film ever made. It’s about what makes life worth living. A man finds out he’s dying and tries to enjoy his remaining time, only to discover that helping others brings him fulfillment. It’s deeply inspiring.
3. It’s Such a Beautiful Day – An experimental animated film that follows a character losing his memory. I didn’t expect a stick-figure movie to hit that hard emotionally. It’s powerful and surprisingly profound.
4. Before Sunset (and the whole Before trilogy) – I group them as one film, but Before Sunset is my favorite. These films feel like a Rorschach test—you relate to different ones at different stages in life. The dialogue is just so meaningful.
5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind – Probably the most well-known of my picks. It’s such a creative and emotional movie. It really hits when you’re going through a breakup and makes you appreciate the memories rather than wishing to erase them. But it also shows how we can be doomed to repeat mistakes.

I like "Hector and the Search for Happiness." It's fun and adventurous and really heart warming. It's well-acted too.
I also think the 2000s had some really awesome lighthearted but thoughtful and interesting movies with things like Little Miss Sunshine and Scott Pilgrim. On the sillier side, maybe Zombieland and Superbad?

Finally figured out my DnD class!
Happy to learn that my DnD class is barbarian! I like the idea of being right in the middle of the action so I'm excited to try out this class. What class did you get?
