5. Tiong Bahru Social Club
Did anyone order some Singaporean Indie because we're picking up a lot of Wes Anderson vibes from this light-hearted satire from director Tan Bee Thiam! A juxtaposition of old and new, the story of Tiong Bahru Social Club warns about the dangers of integrating artificial intelligence into our lives while paying tribute to historic Singaporean districts at the same time.
We feel this is very Singaporean, very good, kill two birds with one stone!

7. Violet Evergarden: The Movie
A movie about hope, surviving, and healing, both within its plot and production. Violet Evergarden: The Movie was in production when the devastating attack on Kyoto Animation studios happened.
As the studio's staff resolved to push this movie out, it draws a parallel to the movie's main character, Violet Evergarden who was raised as an emotionless killing machine and found refuge and love working as an Auto Memory Doll many years after the movie ended.
Besides it's touching storyline, this film offers some of the most realistic art work you can find in an animated movie!

I’m sure nothing beats seeing Tom Cruise and his fellow cast strapped into the seats of fighter jets breaking the sound barrier and doing some crazy flying!

As a collection of history's worst tyrants and criminal masterminds gather to plot a war to wipe out millions, one man must race against time to stop them.
