By aura I don't mean the tiktok definition of aura being synonymously used with the word cool, I just mean what movie has that atmospheric sorta vibe that make you feel a way you never felt before almost like an emotion you never felt before. This is very subjective so I expect the the answers to be very different and I expect less comedies and more serious movies since they are more evocative
