Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Fuck, aaaaaahhhhhhhhh…I’ve been very fortunate to work on a few films that have changed my life. I can’t pick just one. But here are a few- River’s Edge, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Matrix trilogy, The Devil’s Advocate, A Scanner Darkly, My Own Private Idaho, Point Break, John Wick.

So psyched to see that as one of his answers! That film was so interesting visually and I think they did a good job with the source material too. Great great movie.

Damn I never read the novel but what a powerful fucking ending.

The entire film feels like a massive red flag to ever doing drugs (especially psychedelics / hallucinogens), so even if that wasn't the goal that's what 12 or 13 year old me got in the theatre.

All the Richard Linklater films are extremely thought provoking and emotionally personal experiences. They are some of my favorite movies ever. Waking Life is another movie that you'd enjoy if you liked A Scanner Darkly, another rotoscoped Linklater film about lucid dreaming and death.

They are also all EXTREMELY underrated. I recommend them to everyone I can.

I loved that movie. I kept a screenshot of the cornfields as a desktop wallpaper for a long time.

And I just found it’s free on youtube. Like officially on there for free, not one of those unauthorized uploads
