The obvious question: what movies would you add to the list? Bonus points if you can fit it into a category of meaning (whether one of mine or one of your own)! Thanks again to everyone who has been supporting my work over these past few years, as I also mention at the end, this video really was for all of you!

For me Against the Ice is definitly on the list. The psychological and social aspects of being stranded in a freezing cold landscape are so well done. Its a stunning portrayal of what it means to endure and keep hope in yourself, in each others and in getting found and seeing your loved ones again.

Everything Everywhere All At Once, because in a way that no other movie does quite so uniquely, it speaks to experiences and outlooks on life that are extremely resonant - especially if you’re Asian or Asian-American :)

I would add to the Humanity category, Lantana, by Ray Lawrence. (Bliss, also by Lawrence could also fit into this category). This is a perfect film, and was critically acclaimed, but Lawrence’s work to have dropped off the critical landscape. This movie made me question my whole outlook on life, and in particular, how I relate to others, and whether I was being as genuine.

Lots of great films on this list, but I'm especially glad to see that you included Arrival. Such a beautiful film in every way. Finally got around to watching it for the first time last year and it was the perfect time for me to experience it with all that was going on in my life then. This movie makes you ask yourself if you want to merely exist, or if you want to truly live.

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why...."

I’m very satisfied both that I have seen a number of the movies on this list and that seeing this video has compelled me to consider my own favorite movies or “perfect movies” in a similar fashion. My best friend and I talk about movies often because she goes to see new films almost every week and I’m a filmmaker, and to her, a “perfect movie” is a movie that executes everything it seeks to live up to in its genre and everything it wants to tell in its story overall. She and I have both talked about movies we adore that are not “perfect”, and “perfect” ones that are not in our favorites list. Thank you for making this Herculean video accessible to all of us on KZbin! It makes for a great summary and discussion springboard.

When I feel depressed, feel like a failure, and feel like giving up, I ask myself what George Bailey would say and do, or that I have, probably and hopefully, been a positive influence to others, even in ways I don't see or feel or hear.

"Many films diminish us. They cheapen us, masturbate our senses, hammer us with shabby thrills, diminish the value of life. Some few films evoke the wonderment of life's experience, and those I consider a form of prayer. Not prayer "to" anyone or anything, but prayer "about" everyone and everything...But I value the kind of prayer when you stand at the edge of the sea, or beneath a tree, or smell a flower, or love someone, or do a good thing. Those prayers validate existence and snatch it away from meaningless routine." - Roger Ebert on The Tree Of Life. Could also apply to many of these other films. Thank you for a wonderful piece of work, sir!

Some I’d include if I was making a list: -The Irishman. I think this is my favorite Scorsese movie, honestly. I think it fits best in Humanity, and maybe even Existence, if I were to use your categories. A movie like Goodfellas was bombastic and thrilling, perfectly illustrating the life of the Mob. Yet this one was quieter, slower, and infinitely more frightening, especially with that last shot. It’s a reflection on choices and consequences, as well as loyalty and betrayal. I’ll always love Goodfellas and Godfather and whatnot, but this movie will forever stick with me in a way no movie like it will. -Walter Mitty, maybe in either Humanity or Passion. There’s just something about that’s so endearing and moving, and it encourages me to get out and do something with my life! I was like 18 when this came out, so the messages fit so well with where I was at in life, thinking about moving on and out into the world. -Finally, I’d include The Count of Monte Cristo. This definitely fits in Justice. Man, what a story. I don’t know what more needs to be said!

This is my first exposure to you and I'm grateful to have found you. This is wonderful, and I'm very happy you included Bela Tarr who doesn't make these lists often. As requested, here are a few of mine: Robert Bresson: Mouchette in Existence or Humanity category & Au hasard Balthazar in Goodness & Virtue Michelangelo Antonioni: L'Avventura could fit into several of your categories, but perhaps a category on Modernity & Alienation would be better. Red Desert would fit in that new category as well, but personally, I would put it in an Identity grouping. Alain Resnais: Last Year at Marienbad, obviously, would go in the Time & Memory category & Hiroshima, Mon Amour would fit in Time & Memory, Love, War & Evil or maybe something about personal perception along with Rashomon. Thanks again for composing this. Great music too!

For a category of "not just a single movie but a whole creative cycle": "Neon Genes Evangelion" for showing us a brutal view on depression down to its lowest lows, all the while leaving us with an ultimately positive outlook in the last movie. If you ever struggled with such afflictions or have close people struggling with it, it hits like a freight-train. And also "La grande Bellezza" and "Lost in Translation" for a deeply honest view on existential ennui. And "Departures (2008)" for looking at broken family relations, our relationship with death and giving everything enough room to breathe.

have you watched An Elephant Sitting Still? I'm not sure which category it'd fit into - it's a pretty depressing exploration of the main characters. Maybe Humanity? I bring it up because Hu Bo was essentially a protege to Bela Tarr and you absolutely can tell the inspiration. Unfortunately Hu Bo took his life around the time his only feature, An Elephant Sitting Still, was released. Part XI - Depression in Cinema/ Love Lost - An Elephant Sitting Still, Aftersun, Anatomy of a Fall, Amour, The Whale(or Requiem for a Dream), The Deer Hunter

Many thanks for allowing us to see the greatest films ever made. The haunting voice of narrator leads us to think of the most profound questions ever asked by mankind. This video showcases the highest achievements of human civilization. Id like to rename like stories of old as like stories bfo forever

I can think of a few films that I personally would have included. Although the more unpredictable these lists can be, the more interesting they of course are.

I think it depends… lists can be personal and mine might look different and also have some of these films in it…

The Spongebob Movie and anything involving Wallace and Gromit. They reminded me to hold on to my childhood, to find absurdity laugh-out-loud funny, and to spread that childlike, silly joy on to my younger relatives, and to give them a love of "weakness." There are no macho heros or leather-clad women, only silly characters being silly, while also being moral. They remain classics in my household that me and my nieces and nephews watch together ever Christmas. Sometimes, you don't need Brian De Palma or Marlon Brando to be the greatest films.

Children of men was one of these movies for me. Amazing movie about purpose, addictions, meaning, despair, being present minded, sacrifice, love

My personal list includes: Akira Kurosawa's Ran, Das Boot (a film which humanizes the horrors of war to the extent where it has audiences rooting for the Nazis by the end of the film), Dr. Strangelove, Johnny Got His Gun (in the category of a film which was so profoundly impactful Ill probably only ever watch it once in my life), Brazil, A Clockwork Orange, and Gattaca. As a child of the 80s who grew up under the specter of nuclear war, I'd also include Wargames on my list as well.
