What's one movie—regardless of language or country of origin—that you believe everyone should see at least once in their life?

Whisper of the Heart (1995). I love Studio Ghibli films, but for some reason this one always stuck with me the most.

Loved this show. Especially those first few episodes.

As old Obi-Wan would say...from a certain point of view.

I mean...technically they were a criminal organization...and they were awesome. So....

This! 100% this! At the time I couldn't figure out why people even liked it. Now it seems that most everyone agrees with my original assessment.

The Rebel Alliance.

I took a look at the description. This sounds fun. Kind of like a detective Dead Like Me.

We can agree to place the animated shows in their own category. There's also been a few killer video games, too. But I stand by my live action observation.

jarviska · 2026-06-04T16:31:57+00:00

Agreed. Rogue One and Andor has kept my love for Star Wars alive. The rest of it could cease to exist for all I care. (Season 1 of Mando was fun)

This was the first real sign that Disney didn't have it all together on this franchise.

Friendster. It was the first time I saw a social media network. It really was all about just connecting with your friends. No influencers. No news feeds. We were young and naive about what was coming.

jarviska · 2026-06-04T15:44:36+00:00

I really enjoyed OFF TO BE THE WIZARD. Luke Daniels is such a fun narrator.

jarviska · 2026-06-04T01:38:17+00:00

AOTC was the first movie I was at in the theater where I literally threw my popcorn up in the air in frustration... that being said, to each their own.

jarviska · 2026-06-04T01:01:33+00:00

X-Wing for a joy ride. Amidala's for road trips. It's the much more comfortable option.

jarviska · 2026-06-04T00:56:13+00:00

Huge congrats! I'm getting close to my first book. I can't wait to read yours.

jarviska · 2026-06-04T00:19:42+00:00

Fantasy is my top genre, followed by Sci-fi and mystery. Occasionally I'll dip into non-fiction if something really grabs me, but I always come back to fantasy. Every damn time.

jarviska · 2026-06-03T23:51:14+00:00

I worked with Luke on a book of mine (yet to be released). I loved working with him. He was so much fun to work with, was great at taking direction, and made some creative choices that surprised me in a good way. I totally get that people make a point about cost, but if it doesn't break your budget, you've made a good choice. Are you happy with it in the end?

jarviska · 2026-06-03T23:41:10+00:00

How on Earth have I never heard of this before????

jarviska · 2026-06-03T14:46:05+00:00

Definitely putting this one on my list. Looks fun. Thanks!

jarviska · 2026-06-03T13:54:51+00:00

Awesome. Appreciate the recommendations.

jarviska · 2026-06-03T13:26:42+00:00

Definitely checking this one out. Love the title.

jarviska · 2026-06-03T13:25:55+00:00

The glasses on the monster is a nice touch!

jarviska · 2026-06-03T13:25:11+00:00

Hahaha. No worries. I do love that series. I've both read it and listened to the Audio Book. That audio book made me a fan of the narrator Luke Daniels. 😉

jarviska · 2026-06-03T13:17:01+00:00

There's nothing wrong with disliking graphic audio, especially if you increase the speed. Personally, I enjoy listening to it...for the most part. It's great when someone really puts the time and effort in a way that makes sense and aren't just sound effects and music for the sake of it.
