What are some movies that are still amazing, even if you watch it now? Think movies that don't have sexist or similarly awful jokes that have aged poorly, with special effects that are still wonderful, and characters you can still relate with. Movies old and new are equally awesome :D

    I watched Matawan for the first time a few months ago. Absolutely incredible film, and based on real events.

    Silence might be Scorsese's best film and I feel like it doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Highly recommend The King of Comedy as another massively underrated Scorsese film. Holds up very well.

    Also, Parasite is great, but I think Memories of Murder is Bong Joon Ho's best movie.
