100 Mind-blowing Movies

Movie inspiration for filmmaker and/or cinephiles

Hi there! If you’ve stumbled upon this post, chances are you’re searching for inspiration on what to watch next. In an era where the sheer abundance of content on platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime can feel more paralyzing than liberating, curating a meaningful watchlist has become something of a necessary art.

So, take a moment. Breathe. Here’s a handpicked selection of 100 films–not algorithmically generated, but assembled with intention, range, and love for cinema’s more unusual corners.

Now, you might notice some notable absences. That’s no accident. I’ve deliberately left out a number of classics, including films by the master of psychological suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, and one of my personal favorites, Brian De Palma. Their work deserves dedicated space–and dedicated lists–which I plan to compile soon.

In the meantime, I’d love to hear from you. Is there a rare gem you think should be on this list? Let me know. We can always make room for another 100.
