The Three Musketeers (also known as The Three Musketeers (The Queen's Diamonds)) by Richard Lester.
Based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas.
Along with the 1993 adaptation and Randall Wallace's The Man in the Iron Mask, this is definitely one of my favorite versions of the musketeers.
A beautiful adventure film with smart and quick comedic energy.

Paprika (パプリカ) by Satoshi Kon.
Based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Japanese author Yasutaka Tsutsui.
At once playful and nightmarish. Incredibly prophetic. Prefigures our modern virtual world.
A feast for the eyes.
Flesh and Blood (stylized as Flesh+Blood) by Paul Verhoeven.
Verhoeven's first English-language film.
15th century brutality, superstition and politics, Verhoeven style.
This film wasn't a smash hit, probably owing to it being outrageously dirty (and its immensely depressing depiction of 15th century life), but it was critically acclaimed.
Inspired Berserk creator Kentaro Miura.
Tutorial by the director of Little Witch Academia, and key animator in: Gurren Lagann, FLCL, KILL la KILL, Evangelion, Panty & Stocking (X)
"The straight line is godless and immoral. The straight line is not a creative line, it is a duplicating line, an imitating line." - Friedensreich Hundertwasser
Anyone who hasn’t seen Scott Pilgrim is missing out.
The Man Who Laughs (1928) by Paul Leni.
One of the most iconic and influential silent films of all time (along with Metropolis, Nosferatu, and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari).
A magnificent film and one of my favorites.
Highly recommend checking it out.
And, yes, Conrad Veidt's interpretation (and Jack Pierce's make-up) inspired The Joker.
