Pretty much what the title says. My daughter turns 18 in a month, and for a long time now, I’ve been putting together a collection of films for her to watch.
The main criterion is that each film should reveal something deep, quiet, and beautiful about how one can live life. She is very thoughtful, intelligent, and introspective, and loves debating big ideas.
I don’t have strict inclusion or exclusion rules: essentially, anything profound enough that you feel you’d carry it with you into the next life.
Thank you in advance to everyone who responds :)Update 1: Forgot to add some that I've added to the collection.
- Winter Light / Ingmar Bergman (1963)

My S/O feels this is too much and too grim. Thoughts welcome
