Sicario is excellent. Villeneuve was on a tight leash and delivered. Got let off the leash and gave us Blade Runner 2049.
Also shows that if the US really wanted to stop illegal immigration or the drug war, it could.
But it is more profitable to control them so things are as they are.

Wall-E is a movie that is truly for all ages.
Yet to see American Psycho or Wag the Dog.
Eternal Sunshine: trapped in a relationship then getting out then trapped again and getting out then…loved it. We have to absorb the lessons pain teaches.

You mentioned American Psycho and Soylent Green so I’m going to give those a look see.
Movielens is going all Korean on you.
I like Korean movies but maybe not as much as your Movielens profile does
American Psycho is similar to Fight Club. Soylent Green similar to Aniara. Wag the dog similar to They Live.
Here are some Korean films I’ve enjoyed.
Mother: Directed by Bong Joon Ho. With Hye-ja Kim, Won Bin, Jin Goo, Je-mun Yun. A mother desperately searches for the killer who framed her son for a girl's horrific murder.
Great gangster film
New World: Directed by Park Hoon-jung. With Lee Jung-jae, Choi Min-sik, Jung-min Hwang, Park Sung-woong. An undercover cop finds it difficult to play both a cop and a goon.
American adaptation won Scorcese best director but the original is better.
