<p>A very rough list of eccentric cerebral films - films that are consisted of many wonderful imaginative ideas and creations, that came directly from the vision of the psyche. Sometimes they don't make a lick of sense but they are powerful enough to suck you into their hypnotic and chaotic world(s). This list will be updated constantly.</p><p>Suggestions welcome</p>
<p>mix of essentials, classics, obscure miscellany, popular hits, and absolute garbage</p>
<p>Watchlist off the beaten path.</p>
<p>Urban environments such as train stations, airports, parking garages. Blurry imagery usually involving humans. Teal, white, and marine blue. Usually soundtracked by electronic music, trip hop and downtempo in particular. Peak period was 1996-2002 but some examples can be found shortly before and after that time frame.</p><p>Suggestions welcome</p>
Where Style Makes Substance Meaningless
<p>Films where their style fills the screen so absolutely, substance is but an afterthought.</p><p>Only added some that I've seen, leave suggestions below!</p>
<p>all types, all lengths, all countries</p><p><br /><br /></p><p>❣⇢ If anyone wants to share their work or a piece that is not on the list, you can write it in the comments, I will try to add it as soon as possible! ᵔᴗᵔ</p>

<p>The top 250 of the highest rated Anime TV Miniseries on Letterboxd based on the user's average rating. <br />Not allowed: Anime films, shorts and OVAs that are extensions of other shows.</p>
<p>my anime list of films, series and shorts that i’ve seen or are in my watchlist</p>
Top 100 Best-Rated Japanese Animated films from the Anime News Network
<p>I've picked out all the films (anything that was not an anime series, TV or otherwise, but including shorts) I could see from the Anime News Networks Top 1000 Best Rated series list. I take the info from ANN simply because they have the most total ratings on the Internet, and their well-established user base. I excluded a bunch of movies that continued in long chains from TV series.</p><p>Data updated July 2024</p><p>Those interested can compare the ANN rankings to the <a href="https://boxd.it/1FLkY" rel="nofollow">Letterboxd Top 100 Anime list.</a></p>
<p>collection of animation from one minute to a hundred+ and bound together only by their medium. personal watchlist + animation that’s worth a watch</p>
<p>You can watch these films today, free on Youtube. These are only films I rated highly, so you know they're good. Links are in the notes.</p>
Psychedelic Films Compilation
<p>Psychedelic definition: of or noting a mental state characterized by a profound sense of intensified sensory perception, sometimes accompanied by severe perceptual distortion and hallucinations and by extreme feelings of either euphoria or despair</p><p>This is a compilation of multiple lists gathered from reputable psychedelic sites and popular lists on reputable film sites. The films are ranked based on how many of the lists they appeared on (can be seen with the notes feature). This list features projects of all genres and lengths, anything considered psychedelic by one or many of the sources. A note on bias: many of these lists are older, and there is a general tendency for some of the higher ranking films to be older. I will continually work to consistently update and gather from new sources to mitigate this. Take note of when the sources were published, which I have put in parentheses if I got that information. Lists I gathered from are below, if you have any more suggestions, drop in the comments!

My 1000 Favorite Films of All-Time
<p>Only a few films have been added -- or "old" ones removed -- for about a year now, so this list is already vastly out of date (I'll hopefully get a chance to update it eventually), while still representing my taste in contemporary cinema fairly well:</p><p>Essentially the most memorable 7-8ish percent of all the feature length films I've seen in my life (which is well over 12,000); there are (a thousand or two?/)hundreds of films I've yet to log on Letterboxd. Only includes films made between 1940-2020 (due to my knowledge of pre-1940s cinema being so limited), and solely encompassing movies with runtimes of approximately 40 min. or longer.</p><p>275ish through 1000 are currently unranked, and I was primarily only adding 5/5s to this list -- when I was last, truly adding to it -- so there are a lot of films (mostly recent 4.5s and "non-new-release" 5/5s) which are currently missing.</p><p>Ranked not necessarily <br />by "best," but by "favorite."</p>
Teenage Wasteland: A Comprehensive List of Coming-of-Age films
<p>[after his parents have left, thinking he is ill]<i> "They bought it. Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second. How could I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this? This is my ninth sick day this semester. It's getting pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten, I'm probably gonna have to barf up a lung, so I'd better make this one count. The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom. I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh, you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school." - Ferris Bueller in</i> <a href="http://letterboxd.com/film/ferris-buellers-day-off/" rel="nofollow">Ferris Bueller's Day Off</a></p><p><i>"Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But, we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But, what we found out is that each one of us is: a brain . . . <br />Andrew Clark: And an athlete . . . <br />Allison Reynolds: And a basket case . . . <br />Claire Standish: A princess . . . <br />John Bender: And a criminal. <br />Brian Johnson: Does that answer your question? <br />Sincerely yours, <br />The Breakfast Club."</i> - <a href="http://letterboxd.com/film/the-breakfast-club/" rel="nofollow">The Breakfast Club</a></p><p>There is something about a good coming-of-age story. I can never get enough of these films. A lot of these movies are my guilty pleasures. I would not necessarily admit to liking some of these movies in public, but I can relate to many of the characters and there is a bit of nostalgia in a lot of these films that take me back to my younger days, when life was simple (at times). There is also a connection that I established with many of these movies to periods in my life, which also enrich my viewing experience. I hope you enjoy and make the most of of this list, even if you only find one or two movies on here that you never saw and find it worth a watch. This list is in no particular order.</p>
