artsy
Garden State
This movie has one of the best trailers and one of the best soundtracks ever. It's about a young man who flies home for his mom's funeral after spending most of his youth numb to the world. I would label it a dark comedy. (It has lots of language, drug use, and brief inappropriate nudity. FYI.)
Comet
This movie is one of my favorite of all time. I thought about this movie for WEEKS after I first watched it. It's clever, it's artsy, it's trippy, and it's heartbreaking. While it never got much publicity, it's in my "Top Ten Favorite Movies" list. (It also has quite a bit of naughty language. FYI.)
Les Miserables
This one is based on the play/musical Les Miserables (itself an adaptation of a novel originally written by Victor Hugo)and tells the tale of several people during the June Rebellion in France. It's got a lot of famous actors in it like Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne, Amanda Seyfried, Helena Bonham Carter, and Sacha Baron Cohen.
While I'm not a huge musical guy, this film is amazing. I definitely cried the last time I watched it. Be aware that the entire movie is sung by the actors; however, the lyrics are easy to understand, and it's a visually stunning movie.
I 10/10 recommend. Everyone has to watch it at least once.
