dont need politics in it tbh
Children of Men is phenomenal and an absolute masterpiece, but a bit serious and dark. If you want something a bit more lighthearted, I would suggest Dr. Strangelove which is just absurdist af
Children of Men is one of my favourite movies. It's themes and commentary is still relevant, and it's shot beautifully.
dr strangelove is amazing especially for an american cold war movie. i haven’t seen children of men but i’ve seen cuarons film y tu mama tambien and it fucking destroyed me. highly recommend
if you have netflix i just watched the platform and it was very very good. only if you don't mind subtitles though, the audio is in spanish. and it doesn't say it out loud but it has very obvious political undertones that you will understand almost immediately.
also on netflix, marriage story is really good it has the dude who plays kylo ren and scarlett johansson in it. it's about this couple getting a divorce and it made me cry.
not on netflix but one of my favorite movies of the last decade is arrival. it's about aliens and shit and that's all you need to know going into it, it's best going into it blind. it has some "china bad" shit in it but i can get over that pretty easily.
The platform SLAPPED, I love movies like that

OP I dunno if you're into getting fucking depressed but one of my favourite movies is the 1985 Soviet film "Come and See". It's kinda esoteric, but it's a real important film and will most likely fuck up your day.
Green Room for a thriller with neo-nazis in Washington. Calibre for a thriller with backcountry Scotts.
midsommar is better than hereditary imo but you can see the growth of the director from one to the next. both are excellent
Knives Out is a really good mystery movie. It's pretty funny too.
honestly could need something funny. yesterday i laughed my ass off watching superbad that shit was good
Have you seen Wet Hot American Summer? It's pretty funny and kind of has Superbad-ish vibes
If you're looking for a war drama, The Wind That Shakes The Barley is incredible. It follows two (fictional) brothers through the Irish War of Independence and the subsequent Irish Civil War.
2008's Che. It's an epic biopic about the Commandante during and after the revolution. It's really good.
My partner and I absolutely loved The Long Shot! Hilarious movie.
