Matewis: As in a film that leaves you feeling like a million bucks by the time the credits start to roll, and which you then sit through to listening to the parting music.
So many movies out there... many of them, I love.
Off the top of my head, maybe:
Blade Runner
Pulp Fiction
Looper
The Drop
100 Foot Journey
Equilibrium
The First Matrix Movie
Nightcrawler (I know its weird, but it cracks me up... the protagonist feels like an unhinged entrepreneur/sales rep hybrid)
Watchmen
The Lives of Others
Monsieur Lazhar
The First Kickass Movie
Y Tu Mama Tambien
Philomena
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
A Fish Called Wanda
<Probably many others if I spend more time thinking about it>
In terms of TV series, I'd add:
Game of Thrones
True Detectives (first season)
Babylon 5
Last Airbender Cartoons
Unlike movies, many TV series that start great (X-Files, True Blood, Dexter, House, etc) can outlast their welcome, ultimately leaving a bad taste in your mouth unfortunately.
