I feel like any recommendation I might get from these is probably a movie I've already seen, though...

I'm gonna say Scott Pilgrim from these but I'm not too well-versed in film.

I would recommend The Fly (1986) by David Cronenberg. Very good sci-fi film with a touch of body horror.

I have seen that, loved it. Especially how fucked up it gets at the end. Based on your list, have you seen Jacob's Ladder?

Since it'd be too difficult to list my all time favorite films, I will simply list my favorite five films of this year:

1) Dear White People
2) Nightcrawler
3) Birdman
4) Boyhood
5) Guardians of the Galaxy

(Not in any particular order).

God this was hard, and probably isn't even right, but:

Fight Club
Lost In Translation
Spirited Away
Blade Runner
Pulp Fiction

My favorite

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Garden State
Terminator 2
Perks of Being a Wallflower
Gangs of New York
Click to expand...
I'd go with Scott Pilgrim since it's kinda a coming of age story with lots of action

I'm tied between two. Into the Wild or Castaway on the Moon (you may have seen both already !). I feel like a person surrounded by society and yet alone, or trying to be alone, might be of your liking.

I feel Korean revenge movies might be right up your alley (the vengeance trilogy, I saw the Devil etc.). You might have seen those though.

You're probably spot on. I saw The Man From Nowhere a few months back and thought it was really good despite the inconvenience of having to read subtitles. I'll definitely check those out. Thanks!

I have not. I'll be sure to check that one out as well :D

If you are a fan of Inception, loved the dream logic sequences and dont mind animation, I'd recommend Paprika. It goes even crazier with that stuff.
