I’m not a huge movie fan, but I want to broaden my horizons a bit. I’ll offer my list (that I’ve rewatched so many times I’m a bit tired of them):

  • Young Poisoner’s Handbook

  • Full Metal Jacket

  • Life of Brian

  • Holy Grail

  • Sunset Boulevard

  • Curse of the Golden Flower

  • The Nightingale

  • Downfall

  • Amadeus

  • Once Were Warriors

  • Dusk to Dawn

    The only reason I watched Sunset Boulevard was because I read a theory someone had that the Metallica song The Memory Remains was written about it. So I watched it out of curiosity and it fits. I didn’t notice any “plot points” because the overall theme and pathos of the movie gripped me. I agree that the woman who played Norma did a frighteningly good job. I might add some more to my list soon. I didn’t realise so many people would reply so I just did it off the top of my head.
