Gotta be The Matrix (1999). It blew my mind with the action when I saw it as a teenager, it continued blowing my mind with the philosophical and existential ideas when I started understanding those as an adult, and now it’s the ultimate comfort watch for me.
The two sequels have a special place in my heart too.

I actually saw it for the first time when they did the re-release in theatres. I couldn’t believe I had been sleeping on it.

I am still thinking that the Matrix is about Capitalism and bigotry. Once you understand that you don’t have to follow their rules, you have much more freedom.
