#Borat is one of the year's most important films. Not only does
@SashaBaronCohen
deliver those squirmy uncomfortable laughs but the film is also emotional. Yeah I know like wtf dude. I loved it.

My friend Danis made this cool film called #NightRaiders. I'm an EP on it too which means I sat on my arse while she did the hard work.

When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother was right about how misguided she was -- and falls for him.

Akira

But (the anime) Akira is one of my favourite films; my mum took me to see it when I was 13 and it changed my life.
Get Out
Chris and his girlfriend Rose go upstate to visit her parents for the weekend. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.

As a filmmaker, I'm very jealous because it's such a smart idea. And often the films these days, there's no really good idea behind them. It's just like, I'm going to do a character study, and I'm going to do a film with a divorce. I'm going to do a film about a kid who doesn't know his dad - which is all my films - but, you know, to have, like, a concept that, oh, these people are body snatching African Americans and this guy has been, like, basically catfished into this community is just really cool.
Return of the Jedi
Luke Skywalker leads a mission to rescue his friend Han Solo from the clutches of Jabba the Hutt, while the Emperor seeks to destroy the Rebellion once and for all with a second dreaded Death Star.
Taika Waititi
Actor, Director
It’s such a thing for a kid to say, but for an adult to be competitive with a kid, you know: “I’ve seen it 10 times. I was one of the first.” When we were kids, when Return of the Jedi came out, we were always like, you had to be the first person to see it so you could hold that over every one else — “I saw it before you,” you know.
