Romcoms
feelgood romantic comedies, made to ease your mind.
A feelgood film, that follows the storyline of Amelie and her mischievous ways to bring happiness, joy and love into others' lives. This movie is inspiring, light, and most of all gorgeous. Hands down one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen....
Amélie (2001) - IMDb
queer love and no deaths. An amazing film, that tells a wonderful love story between two sapphic girls in a conversion camp. Tastfully brings light to a very scary and heavy situation and way of thinking. Lovely movie. I strongly recommend watching i...
But I'm a Cheerleader (1999)
A classic romcom, but there is a reason why it has become one! It perfectly embodies both teen love, rapid coming-of-age, and the friend-to-lovers trope. No tears and all smiles & laughs.
13 Going on 30 (2004)
Another sapphic love story. Finding your true self later in life can be hard, but it's especially hard when you are already in love with someone else. This is one of the most important queer movies, because it shows a story where there is no true vil...
Imagine Me & You (2005) - IMDb
Horror
best horror films coming from a girl who does not like jumpscares.
Gave me night terrors, but in the most beautiful way. This film gives you all the scares and beauty all at once. No unnecessary jump scares, with a compact and full storyline and truly breathtaking imagery. Amazing.
Hereditary (2018)
Impactful psychological horror film. It covers subjects of racism, classism and systematic oppression. Great movie, that makes you scared in a different way than other horror movies.
Get Out (2017) - IMDb
Great movie if you want the horror movie feeling, but don't want to be scared. Classical horror with a great storyline and no jump scares. An easy watch.
Rosemary's Baby (1968) - IMDb
a little bit disturbing movie based in a sence of belonging. the movie is so so so very gorgeous and has such cool hidden visual easter eggs. A very satisfying watch. I call this film “Hereditary's” less scary but equally as gorgeous sister.
Midsommar (2019)
Musicals
if someone says “i don't like musicals” they just haven't seen these ones.
Lovely storyline, stacked cast, great songs and all that jazz. The film is set in a women's prison and tells the story of passionate ladies and jazz. crazy good.
Chicago (2002) - IMDb
musical that made my childhood. A cute coming-of-age movie about love, friendship and dreams set in a high school.Truly wonderful movie; just ignore that all of the high schoolers are about 30 years old.
Grease (film)
Fighting racism through song and dance & genderbent celebrities. This might look like another teen empty-brain movie, but it is way more than that. Wanting to be seen on the TV vs wanting to be heard and seen as a human being. Teenagers fight aga...
Hairspray (2007)
Inspiring like nothing else. The movie will make you fall into madness and get dance fever. such cleaver story telling and wonderful creative decisions.
The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) - IMDb
Thrillers
Horrific movie; it was hard to decide if I should put this here or in the horror category. Heartwrenching, dark movie about addiction and dreams. Hard to watch it more than once, but it sure is a must-watch.
Requiem for a Dream (2000) - IMDb
Another classic. Great movie and an easy watch.
The Silence of the Lambs (1991) - IMDb
Favourite Tarantino movie. Fun story, good picture and a truly amazing soundtrack. I have a growing conspiracy theory that two of the main characters are in a secret relationship, but you must guess which two.
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Cartoons
Fusion animation with the most lovable characters ever. Cute, smart, feel-good documentary about a little shel, his day-to-day life, grief, hope and the adventure of finding a missing part of what makes you you.
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2021) - IMDb
Funniest, most devastatingly beautiful and hard-hitting animation I've watched. Lovely stop-motion animation about an unusual friendship and unusual lives.
Mary and Max (2009)
Comedies
Social commentary documentary, but make it way too funny. This is a great movie if you need to lighten your mood about the state our world is in right now.
The Yes Men Fix the World (2009) - IMDb
The movie that has become a cult classic. Jokes that get better every time you rewatch it, fun, thrilling, interesting characters, and it is just a fun, happy watch.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) - IMDb
