Brazil
Cowboy Bebop
Control
Melancholia
The Thin Red Line
Y Tu Mama Tambien
Amores Perros
Abre Los Ojos

I'd like to add a few nobody has posted yet (I think):

20s
* Nosferatu (Murnau), 1922 -- unauthorised adaptation of Stoker's Dracula,

30s
* City Light (Chaplin), 1931

40s
* Citizen Kane (Welles), 1941 -- probably not up to the level of others on the list technically (he was in his mid 20s i believe) but very insightful and still relevant today
* Casablanca (Curtiz), 1942

50s
* Twelve angry men, 1957 -- I really enjoyed this one
* Some like it hot (Wilder), 1959

60s
* 8 1/2 (Fellini), 1963 -- a masterpiece to me
* Dr. Strangelove (Kubrik), 1964
* The good, the bad, and the ugly (Leone), 1968

70s
* Apocalypse now (Coppola), 1979

80s
* Once upon a time in America (Leone), 1984

90s
* Pulp fiction (Tarantino), 1994
* The usual suspects (Singer), 1995

00s
* Memento (Nolan), 2000

Pardon the questionable mid-90s soundtrack.


Probably one my all-time favorites. I remember one night way back in high school, I picked this up on a whim from the local video store and sat on the couch with my mouth hanging open and my mind blown all over the place. First time I think I ever really wanted to write something. Now I spend 80-90% of my waking/non-job life writing. Definitely not my biggest influence but it was the first and goddamn if I'm not inspired every time I watch it. Otomo you genius

Still really good. Possibly relevant to the average Style Forumite: More philosophy-related stuff; not the greatest, but still kind of fun to watch:

since I was asked about the recipe for the palak paneer,
here's a video I had made with the old camera
I used to have -- a 3 pixel fuji compact

[VIDEO][/VIDEO]

• 4 cups of fresh finely chopped spinach
• 1/3 lb paneer
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon chopped ginger (or 1 tsp ginger/garlic paste)
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
• Pinch of asafetida (hing) -- smells gross but is good for digestive track
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/3 cup milk

basically, cube the paneer into 1/2 " pieces. since it's store-bought, a trick to keep them chewy and soft is to microwave for 30 sec in some water.
then you toss them in the pan with some oil to make golden color, and immediately drop into some cold water and set aside.

then you make the tomato puree by tossing them in the blender with the ginger, coriander, turmeric, chilli

heat up some oil (grape seed oil works fine), add one cumin seed to see if the oil is hot it will sizzle. toss in the rest of seeds and the asafetida, then pour in the puree. let it reduce in volume to about half, ~ 3 min

add the spinach and cover pan, let it sit on medium for ~10 min. then add the milk (can use heavy cream but come on now we trying to fit in our clothes son) let it sit for another 5 min

add the paneer cubes and gently fold it into the mix

serve with some hot roti or naan

i made a mango lassi here too -- cut a mango flesh, add milk, yogurt, cardamom seeds, sugar, blend, pour, enjoy.​

Yes, I love this recipe, the ingredients look like a lot but once you have it down it's very simple and easy.

Also, you can substitute frozen peas for the chopped spinach to make mutter paneer. Just don't use the mint flavoured peas.
