items These are the films that didn’t just entertain me — they stayed in my mind, twisted my thoughts, or quietly broke something inside me. Some mess with reality, others hit deep with emotion or truth. Every one of them left an impact I couldn’t ignore.

1980-2000
My favorite because the atmosphere is insane. It’s not just horror — it’s about losing your mind slowly, and every scene feels like a nightmare.
The Shining (1980)
My favorite because it shows the horror of history but also real humanity. It’s painful, beautiful, and makes you think deeply about what one person can do.
Schindler's List (1993)
My favorite because it’s so powerful without being loud. It’s about hope, friendship, and freedom — and it just makes you feel something real.
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
My favorite because it feels like a dream. The way it shows loneliness and love in a big city is so soft and poetic, I didn’t want it to end.
Chungking Express (1994)
My favorite because it’s stylish and sad at the same time. Everyone’s trying to connect but failing, and somehow that feels really honest.
Fallen Angels (1995)
My favorite because it’s smart, mysterious, and the ending completely flips everything. You think you know what’s going on — until you realize you had no idea.
The Usual Suspects (1995)
My favorite because it dives deep into obsession and forbidden love in a way that’s disturbing but fascinating. It’s uncomfortable, but that’s what makes it unforgettable.
Lolita (1997)
My favorite because it’s a smart way of showing how power can destroy even the best ideas. It’s short but hits really hard.
Animal Farm (TV Movie 1999)
My favorite because the whole movie feels haunted, but not just by ghosts — by emotions too. The twist blew my mind, and when you rewatch it, everything makes sense in a whole new way.
The Sixth Sense (1999)
2000-present
My favorite because it’s creepy, confusing, and emotional — all at once. It makes you question time, fate, and whether anything really matters.
Donnie Darko (2001)
My favorite because it’s a quiet kind of survival. It’s not just war — it’s about holding onto your humanity when the world is falling apart.
The Pianist (2002)
My favorite because it’s dark, emotional, and completely wild. The revenge story is brutal, and that twist? I still think about it.
Oldboy (2003)
My favorite because it messes with your head. Nothing is what it seems, and the twist completely changed how I saw everything that came before.
Identity (2003)
My favorite because it’s not just a movie, it’s a whole message. Rich vs poor, comedy and horror, everything mixed perfectly — I’ve never seen anything like it.
Parasite (2019)
My favorite because it dives deep into obsession and forbidden love in a way that’s disturbing but fascinating. It’s uncomfortable, but that’s what makes it unforgettable.
Fractured (2019)
