Default If you could only recommend ONE movie

What would it be? I'm going to recommend one that you guys probably don't know (better than telling you to watch The Matrix).

Im Juli



A German movie with a big heart. I usually compare them with movies like Garden State and Amélie. I guess it's a romantic and funny road movie.
Daniël, a German math teacher travels to Turkey because the girl Juli made him accidentily believe he'll find his true love there. Before he's out of town, guess which hitchhiker he picks up. Juli.

Try it (don't forget the English subs)!

I'd have to say Lost in Translation.

For anyone who's been in a different country, a different culture and felt left out, either because of not knowing the language or not being able to fit in.

I've been in both, at the same time. Really captures the emotion.

12 Angry Men

A classic movie that takes place almost entirely within the space of one room. It'll make you appreciate the actors and writing of years past. Plus, the themes are still very much applicable to this day. Check it out.

A classic.

I was a fan of this movie.
It has everything you could ask for.
Even a little detective work.

Also To Kill a Mockingbird.

As for the one movie I could recommend, I am going to think about this because honestly off the back it would be TDK but such a cliche answer for me.

Hmm, if it was a case that somebody had never seen a film before I might go with 2001: A Space Odyssey.

If you've seen a lot of films, you've probably already seen 2001 so I would recommend something like Scarlett Street, a classic you may not have seen.
