Some of my favorites

Disney's animated Robin Hood - some amazing folk songs, o brother where art thou has a lot of great old timey/folksy songs too

The Third Man - the zither to end all zithers

anything by John Williams or Hans Zimmer for that big epic sound with recurring motifs- star wars, Indiana Jones, interstellar, etc

Baby Driver - lots of variety, the chase sequence with Hocus Pocus by Focus is amazing

The Blues Brothers - not just great blues, tons of soul, motown, etc with a lot of energy

The Guest - parody of '80s action/thriller style movies, soundtrack is lots of electronic & synth, feels a little like a darker version of the Drive soundtrack which is also great

A couple directors that have a very specific sound direction/profiles to them too are Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, and John Carpenter.

Fascists like Musk use words only as weapons, never to convey information. He doesn't care it's not a ponzi scheme, he just wants to scare idiots into making bad decisions he can profit from.

It's malware and spyware masquerading as a communications app

Set your status to busy while reading an article or reference doc or talking to a colleague on your phone? Now you're idle so middle managers can make incorrect assumptions about your work habits.

It takes 3-4 times the resources of Skype that it replaced with no benefit to individual users, it's just a monopoly killing competition that did the job better.
