Gave INLAND EMPIRE my first and only 10 on my blog a couple Aprils ago when I rewatched it for the first time in more than a dozen years and realized that every aspect of my taste, sensibility, way of thinking about and processing art was shaped by it, and most of his other movies aren’t far behind.

Just realized that I forgot to include this Veritasium featurette on AI maze-solving competitions that randomly showed up in my youtube suggestions earlier last year. Would fit well into the Computer Chess (Bujalski) Extended Universe.
