Barton Fink. One of my favourite films and it really defies genres. The themes and symbolism are incredible, to say the least. There is so much to be garnered from this film that it's worth at least two watches, but probably even more. It's funny, it's sad, it's romantic, it's a murder mystery, it has action. And it's a love letter to Hollywood and the silver screen (as long as you don't know what the word "love" means). Alternatively, Weirdsville because fuck it; it's crazy and zany and who doesn't love drug-addled slackers venturing through Canada, getting up to shenanigans and meeting a group of LARPing midgets? It's an all-time favourite of mine and my friends'.
