Like many, I'm stocking my faves on physical media, thanks to the #enshittification of streaming.

Night Watch is incredible – a Russian flick with parallels to X-Men and the Matrix, though less glamorous; it's grimy and visceral, clever, and very morally curious. The ancient forces of Light & Dark really feel like they live in the real world, and it's gorgeous too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Watch_(2004_film)

My favorite bit on this watch: a centuries-old guy in a city office, doodling marginalia like a monk.
