The one movie you see before you die?
Easy.
Coleman Francis’s film “Red Zone Cuba.” Also known as “Night Train to Mundo Fine.”
After you’ve seen it, you’ll be entirely reconciled with that death.

And indeed here is Red Zone Cuba — even better, with Spanish subtitles. It includes the song stylings of John Carradine.

Blade Runner. (The original.)
Its theme is mortality, and the exclusively human knowledge that we die—but replicants/androids also know it. (Does that make them human?)

Agree Metropolis - mainly because it makes you realize the fight between the haves and the have nots has been going on for decades and is largely unchanged. In terms of understanding the system we choose to live in, the most direct summary and reflection.

I had a friend from work who was down to her last week or so. She said her one regret was that she hadn't been able to see Hamilton on Broadway (the show was fairly new at that point). I did a little online detective work, and was able to download a very nice bootleg of the entire show. I put it on her laptop and she watched it three times before she passed.

The Tennessee Williams movie where liz taylor's homo bf has young whore cannibal boys wanting to eat him on vacation where liz is merely his bait......katie Hepburn was some crazy old bitch who lived in a garden of cock eating plants.

This one's a doozy, and I love it:
'I've made 30 stag films and I've never faked an orgasm!' Before movie legend Jennifer Jones made her final screen appearance in the disaster flick Towering Inferno, she made this disaster. Rock star/cult leader Bogart Peter Styvenson corrupts a fat heiress and her stag actress mother and homosexual father. Like that bad night Tijuana, you hope the ordeal will fade from memory once the vomiting stops. Cruel and malicious, you can't stop watching as our jaw keeps dropping. Originally titled Angel, Angel Down We Go - the name was changed to capitalize on the still unfolding Manson Murders. Classy! One of my favorite "bad" films of all time.

All gay men, and the rest of you too, much watch Auntie Mame. (The movie with Rosalind Russell, not the musical Mame with Lucy.) Even if you're not "top drawer", it would be ghastly if you don't watch this movie at least once. And don't just watch it for the outline of Forrest Tucker's trouser snake in one scene.

Kurosawa's "Red Beard".
This film has it all! Existentialism, whores with an evil madam, child thieves, candy flowers, a gruesome fight scene with bones poking out of the skin, and the always handsome Toshiro Mifune.
