The best movies i have seen in my life for me personally were probably:

• Sharknado (all of them) because of their absurdity. It’s something to laugh at, and they do not aspire to be anything else, which is something we all need from time to time, while it is seldom provided. Honorable mention for anything Monty Python.
• Nolan’s Batman movies, because they capture the atmosphere Batman Movies deserve perfectly (I am not a fan of his later stuff tho. Dunkirk was fine but somewhat boring for a film that should embody tension, Tenet is a fucking mess regardless of how often you watch it. Things like “The Prestige” are somewhat of a foreshadowing of his ability to create suspension and drama. They should really take away a bunch of tools from him to get better results - he fails when working without restrictions, he seems to get lost in the detail. Probably why I like the Batman movies so much - there he is confined to a preexisting world where he can’t just do whatever his mind produces.) The Joker first movie also hit that same mark.
• Akira. This thing has formed my relationship to messy and gory anime, and i would never have it any other way.
• Braindead and Event Horizon. The same thing for horror and splatter movies.

The best series:

• Battlestar Galactica remake: The soundtrack alone is something to die for, and both the story and the acting are top-notch, surpassing their source material. I’ve been an Olmos fan ever since. Great stuff!
• Cyberpunk: Edgerunners: I was an old-school Shadowrun RPG player back in the 90’s (Hermetic Mage all the way btw), and this anime really hit all of the targets. The crumbling society with normal people trying to life their lives in it, and the people being pushed to the edges and their resulting attempts to break the cycle they are caught in are fully shown here. Can’t wait for the second season.
• Breaking Bad: not so much for the series itself, although both acting and story are fine (i tried watching it a second time, but it’s just not the same), but for the portrayal of how health issues ranging from cancer, getting hurt on the job (Hank), psychiatric problems like kleptomania or drug addiction can cause common people to spiral out in the US (while the whole premise is moot in most of the developed world with socialized health care and available mental health professionals (this needs improvement even here)), and how people who want to get out are caught up in this mess without any real options to escape (outside of Walt rigging up an M60 in his car trunk)
• Death Note: Such an intelligent series. I love it to death (although the last few episodes can’t keep up the pace).
