[ MOVIES ]

During my challenging childhood, movies served as my primary means of escapism. The first films I remember loving were Rocky IV, both Ghostbusters, and Commando. My passion for action and sci-fi cinema grew exponentially throughout the 1990s. However, by the mid-2000s, my interest waned, largely due to the proliferation of unnecessary remakes and the advent of comic book movies, particularly the rise of Marvel trash. Some of the films below are masterpieces, while others are objectively bad. Regardless of their quality, all of them were important to me growing up and will appear on the list.

Fight Club

Fight Club is my all-time favorite movie and will likely always be. No other film has resonated with me like this one, capturing feelings of being raised by a woman, abandoned by a father, lost in life, and harboring a desire to burn it all down with a "fuck society, fuck everyone, and fuck you" attitude. It speaks to the need to retake control of your life outside the consumerist and capitalistic straitjacket society imposes. Beyond its themes, I'm in love with the film's look—its cinematography, colors, and overall visual style. Fight Club is a perfect movie that defined my generation and me, serving as an eye-opener to the gross society we live in.

Ghostbusters

If it weren't for Fight Club's existential meaning to me, Ghostbusters would be my favorite movie. Often described as "lightning in a bottle," I totally agree with this sentiment. It is perfect in every way—the actors are amazing, the story is awesome, and the music and special effects were incredible for its time. For me, it's more than just a great film; it's comfort. Around 1990, when I was stressed and anxious about going back to school on Monday morning, watching Ghostbusters every Sunday afternoon after a hot bath was my soothing ritual. As a result, it's probably the movie I've watched most in my life, and no matter how many times I see it, it never loses its shine and charm. It's also a time capsule, capturing the nostalgic vibe of the early eighties with its music, fashion, and even disco influences. It might be the movie that makes me the most nostalgic.
