Submarine (2010)

Director Richard Ayoade's Submarine is a brilliantly witty and heartfelt coming-of-age gem. It follows the awkward yet endearing Oliver Tate as he navigates first love with his pyromaniac classmate and attempts to save his parents' crumbling marriage. With its sharp dialogue, stunning Welsh landscapes, and a perfect nostalgic soundtrack, the film is a unique and deeply authentic portrait of teenage anxiety and romance. It's a clever, charming, and profoundly under-seen debut that deserves a much wider audience.
