Ghost in the Shell 1995
At times weird and hard to folloy but undeniably a masterclass of animation and world building. There is a scene in the middle of this film which is simply The Major looking around this massive city to an incredible score and it feels a little strange at first when you consider the action heavy front loading of the movie but it's a moment of peace to sit back and take in this incredible city but also the concepts of what make us unique and human. In a way we're all just copies of each other but it's our memories that make us who we are. So what happens when you can upload, download and store those memories in massive data centers? In our current AI lead world, this movie is more relevant than ever. The Scar Jo remake is a travesty.
