Describe Your Favourite Film in 10 Words or Less

There's been a lot of movie discussion on Ozbargain recently with some posts for Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Vengeance Trilogy, Unbreakable, The Fifth Element, etc.

Thought it could be fun to get people's favourite films but with a very brief description attached.

I'll start:

PARASITE (2019)

    LOTR - 9 hours of adventure even you can easily just fly there in minutes.
    The Prestige - Magic vs Tesla
