-  - Stand by Me (1986) +  - **Stand by Me** (1986) \\ There is no real competitor to this top spot. The older I get, the more this movie hits; even at a young age, you can appreciate that it's a story about children growing up. As you get through your 20s, 30s, 40s ... the movie's simplicity speaks to you.  
-  - Risky Business (1983): potentially my all-time favourite movie; must be watched with the alternative ending; director never made another movie. +  - **Risky Business** (1983) \\ Potentially my all-time favourite movie; must be watched with the alternative ending; director never made another movie.

-  - The Up Series (1964-) +  - [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_(film_series)|The Up Series]] (1964-) \\ It is hard to imagine a more powerful long-standing work than this series, which follows the lives of ten boys and four girls in England beginning in 1964. Following the death of the director, the series will conclude with 70 Up in 2027. Incredible: 63 years after its first run. It is hard to imagine ever making something with this consistency and vision. [[https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-the-up-documentaries-1985|Ebert's review]]
