I'm sensing nostalgia is a potent force for you, yeah? There's a lot of movies here that look like maybe they captured your imagination as a teen/youth and never let go

yes and no; I have a complicated relationship with nostalgia and don't find looking back easy
but I've listed films that either had the greatest impact on my life as a whole and never dropped for me in quality or enjoyment, or films I discovered or revisited (finding new significance in them) as I went through major reassessments of my life and identity in the last 15 or so years
I think the only through-line is that they were all formative in terms of my identity, at various stages but with a lasting impact
