This was something I was thinking about that could be fun. We all have these technical and story-based reasons we love something, but maybe sometimes there's something else or something personal in the movie you find that wasn't intentional, but you gravitate to it for that strange reason.
This all came about when I thought of the How to Train Your Dragon movies, and it clicked with me... they're like the Americanized Pokémon movies that I always wanted.

The VVitch.
Although I praise it for being a very, VERY well constructed, horrifying, tension looming Film.
I absolutely adore it for It's 100% accuracy in the Dark folklore that was relevant in the time period the Film takes place in. It adds an extra layer of absolute horror that makes it more terrifying, while giving it a special aura that not a lot of films have.

The reason I adore Snowtown as much as I do still eludes me.

One of these would be Se7en for me........it's always raining for one thing, the opening credits are completely bad ass, they reveal the killer halfway through which is also bad ass, AND everyone speaks in weirdo philosophical vagaries like I sometimes do after a bad day at the office.
It's great anyway but even if it wasn't that would be enough.
Also Pump Up The Volume for its uncanny right in the moment capturing the mood soundtrack (Leonard Cohen, Richard Hell, etc.) it sort of is a warm-up for what happened in music a year later. Neat trick.

urbanpatrician - Heat has some of that too (Heat and Se7en are actually the two best studio pics of '95 imo), and Heat partially twists the dialog from some projects that didn't have its pedigree that came before it (Walter Hill's The Driver for one). It's a bit different because Se7en sets those characters as different types (Pitt-Freeman-Spacey) where as in Heat you are sort of tipped off that they are all a bit closer as men than they may initially appear to be in terms of profession. In some ways though Heat eventually goes deeper and ties what characters don't say in with the written word (The "yeah" at the end, DeNiro's many internalized moments, Pacino running down the stairs to pursue McCauley, etc.).

Heavy Metal. It features a space shuttle dropping a Corvette into space where a driver must pilot it back to earth all the while Radar rider by Riggs is playing. I fell in love immediately
