1 like = 1 movie or TV show I have loved at some point in my life, and I will try to avoid the more obvious ones (Tree of Life, Eternal Sunshine, etc.)
Into the Wild
I’ve cried during/after maybe three movies I can remember and this is one. It was late and I was alone and identified completely with this adventurous anti-bourgeois literature lover. I had no idea it was a true story until the credits, which my tears rolled with

Boyhood
I bawled after this one, too. It just brought up so much from my own boyhood and adolescence and captured the fleetingness of time and the wonder of little moments

Wild
This film was actually a significant part of the reason I became obsessed with the idea of thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail and then did it in 2015. It also helped me along the way, remembering how Cheryl Strayed had no idea what she was doing and still walked onward

Delicacy
I don’t know, man, I really liked this movie that got very little attention. It’s just a nice movie

The Killing
Love this show. Not quite Broadchurch, but the mood, the atmosphere, the rapport between the two main characters—it’s great

Sorry to Bother You
Unbelievably inventive, keeps escalating in unexpected ways, politically brilliant, a wild ride

Me & You & Everyone We Know
This movie is so unapologetically itself. It’s funny and moving and captures that era when the internet was a weird new world
(GIF not from movie, but it is the creator and lead actor, Miranda July)

Freaks & Geeks
This show made me laugh and root for the characters and just enjoy being immersed in the beautiful misery of high school

Only Yesterday
I haven’t seen a lot of anime. This film stood out for its tenderness and quiet beauty. Plus I tend to like movies that play with memory

My Brilliant Friend
My background is so different from this 1950s small-town Italian girl’s, but I found myself relating deeply to her discovery (and creation) of an intellectual life in school, in books, in the ambitions of a writer

The Lobster
I didn’t know movies could be like this. It’s funny in a way I hadn’t quite experienced before, and perfectly true to its dark, weird vision

Juno
The music, the snappy dialogue, the whole aesthetic! I was so obsessed with this movie I friended Ellen Page and Michael Cera on Facebook (before they were too big to accept friend requests) and watched them joke wall-to-wall about who would get more friend requests

Dead Poets Society
Feeling self-conscious about this choice but I definitely loved the movie for a period of my life. It’s, like, contagiously enthusiastic about poetry and the humanities and, like, I appreciate that
