Favourite Movies

The movies below are in no specific order. I will copy and paste this article into AI to recommend movies based on what I like. This has led to better movies than endlessly scrolling streaming platforms.

I’ve developed the philosophy that it is not worth paying for streaming platforms unless you have a specific show or movie you want to watch. I’ve also realized that rewatching great movies brings me just as much pleasure as watching new mediocre ones. This is a classic example of the explore-exploit tradeoff.
