Notes: Not all of the films on this non-exhaustive list are entirely “about” the lives of their respective writers to a tee. I cannot vouch for the accuracy or quality of all of these movies. I’ve only seen about 75% of these films personally. And yes, I know this list is very Westernized – I’m working on it.

hello!! you probably won't see this, but that's what i told myself when i submitted a question under the name "gerry's oedipus complex" and you read it in the q&a episode anyway, so i guess i should get my hopes up a little. i just wanted to ask what your absolute favorite films are, since i think you have cool taste and i always need movie recs. thanks!

Always happy to give film recs, so my current top five (in no particular order):

The Thing (1982)

Absolute stone-cold classic. Arguably the best horror film ever made. Great monster, great effects, great Kurt Russell. Sorted.

Dark City (1998)

I wouldn't call this a "forgotten classic", exactly, but I don't see this super stylish sci-fi noir talked about enough. The vibes are astounding, though make sure you watch the director's cut (or mute the first 45 seconds) or there's a voiceover up top that gives away the big twist!

The Raid (2011)

A good martial arts movie, in my opinion, should have you graaaaduallly leaning forward in your seat as the fight gains momentum, then suddenly something really gnarly happens and you leap back going "Ooof!" That's this movie. Also heavily features my favourite punchman, Yayan Ruhain, doing some absolutely brutal punches.

Ravenous (1999)

Absolutely bonkers cannibal western with good scares, weird jokes, and Robert Carlyle's bum. If you're a fan of homoerotic fights to the death, the climax of this movie is for you.

RoboCop (1987)

Hyper-violent (and hyper-fun) satire of corporate capitalism and police militarisation, but more importantly: remember when RoboCop shot that dude in the dick?
