And Reddit was RIGHT! I can’t get that movie out of my head. It was so good I had to watch the 4-hour explanation video on YouTube explaining how deep the movie really is, and I loved that too.Not gonna lie, it will be one of my favorite movies forever. Nothing could top this in my mind.”–Tinkerer0fTerror

5. Midsommar

6. Midnight in Paris

“Comfy, nostalgic, romantic and full of surprises.”–Otherwise_Horror_183

7. Sorry To Bother You
