tsudecimo said: Looking for an immersive/compelling psychological or thriller movie. Preferably something like the machinist. Following and Memento. They're both by Nolan and imo are his best movies. I recently watched Ex Machina and it was pretty good as well. In this case it's mixed with sci-fi. Moon is also very good, I loved it. Not really a thriller in the canonic sense but it still has that kind of vibe. For a more commercial take, you can watch Matchstick Man, I personally enjoyed it. |
| Unfortunately I had Memento ending spoiled to me. Watched matchstick man, I liked, watched ex machina and i didn't like it, sci fi tend to be a miss with me. Was planning to watch Moon, i will check following. Thx 4 recs |
 |
| My turn. There's a kind of movie that I really enjoy, but since it's not a specific genre, it's hard to find similar titles. It usually alternatively mix surrealistic, mundane and dark humor, and is heavily dialogue-driven. Usually it also feature brilliant direction and photography, but the main value is still the screenplay. Examples: Directors: Coen brothers, Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, Guy Ritchie (not too fond of this one actually), Woody Allen, Paolo Sorrentino, Nanni Moretti. Other movies: Birdman, Kill me Please, Adam's Apples Not to be confused with teen comedies like Kick-Ass, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World or Juno. Though I like them as well so you can recommend me that kind of comedy if you like. Also, not to be confused with parodies like Shaun of the Dead or Four Lions. Same as before, I liked these movies, but they're not exactly what I'm searching for. |
| There's Mulholland Drive, All that Jazz, In Bruges, Drive, and I guess Inherent Vice. I think at least one of these would fit the bill. There's also The Red Shoes, but that's a little different. |
| I watched Mulholland Drive some years ago, like most of Lynch movies, and I liked it (though I prefer Lost Highway). However, I was more interested in a comedy actually, or at least a ironic/surreally humorous drama. Drive is good. Those cityscapes reminded me of the 80s and 90s cinema. So nostalgic. It had a nice pace. Anyway, still not fitting, imo. I tried In Bruges a month ago, but I dropped halfway. I may give it a second try. The genre is pretty much what I was asking for, but for some reasons I wasn't enjoying it. I will check All that Jazz and Inherent Vice. They both seem interesting. On the other hand, The Red Shoes seems really bad, lol. You meant it as a so bad is good? Well, thanks Popka. If anyone else has additional recommendations, I would gladly accept them. |
| The Red Shoes is a pretty highly respected film. It's one of Martin Scorsese's favorite movies. At the very least it's one of the most visually impressive movies. What seems bad about it to you? |
| I don't know, it looks like the usual trite japanese horror movie (though this one is korean, I see) and has a very low rating throughout the internet. So I thought you were joking. I watched the trailer and I'm not too fond of that kind of cinematography/direction, so I think I'm going to pass. |
| I think you're looking at a different film than the one I'm thinking of. I was talking about a British film from 1948. |
| Lol. That's definitely the case. Anyway I just watched Inherent Vice and it was very good. I'm not too fond of Paul Thomas Anderson, I think he has serious problems with pacing, and Inherent Vice suffers from that as well, but I liked it more of Magnolia, actually. |
| Pretty much anything directed by Quentin Tarantino and Cristopher Nolan. These people can do no wrong. I mean literaly. No. Wrong. Although I suppose fans of filmaking already know that. |

| Hi, I've been lurking on and off in the club, and was wondering if you guys could recommend me a couple of films to watch. In contrast to anime, I'm a walking anachronism when it comes to cinematography, so it would be nice if the suggestions were comprised of pre-2000 films. The only other criteria is that the runtime shouldn't be over 2 hours. I have a lot of free time, but my schedule and attention recently make it hard to sit through something longer without chores popping up, and watching something in multiple sittings without continuity just isn't the same. Some of my favourite directors/films: Bergman (Wild Strawberries, Persona) Tarkovsky (Stalker, The Mirror) Herzog (Aguirre, The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser) Kubrick (Paths of Glory, A Clockwork Orange) Mellville (Le Samourai, Le Cercle Rouge) Lumet (Network, 12 Angry Men) Bunuel (Viridiana, The Exterminating Angel) Open to pretty much anything theme-wise, and thanks in advance for all the suggestions! |
 |
| When it comes to Lumet, I HIGHLY recommend "The Hill" - doesn't get enough recognition but it's awesome. As for Kubrick, I suggest checking out "The Killing". Also, since you mentioned "12 Angry Men", I point you towards "Witness for the Prosecution". |

Because recently i have just watched Interstellar and really got hooked on it. Well, as you know Nolan made several researches and even consulted with the experts about the materials which he would present on his movie. I think what Nolan has done there really interesting and in addition it makes the movie feels more realistic, i wonder if there are others movie out there that similar or at least near with Interstellar. Thank You. |

I bet you've seen some of them but... - "The Martian"; - "Inception"; - "Pandorum"; - "12 Monkeys"; - "Donnie Darko" (Director's Cut); - "Contact"; - "Snowpiercer"; - "Moon". |
|
| Whoah, that was quick reply :D I have watched Inception, 12 monkeys, contact and moon. I have watched Donnie darko too but Does Donnie Darko (director's cut) have a difference from the normal one? and yes those are great movies imo, we seem have similar taste there, ill try the rest of your recommendations. Thank You very much Midgard ^^ |
Tobacco Causes Severe Health Problems, Smoke Moderately While Respecting Others. |
| You'll thank me if you end up liking the movies I recommended :] I also left out some titles that I like, because I know for a fact that other people don't consider them to be particularly good. When you complete the list above and you'll still be interested to see more, then come back later. I gave "Donnie Darko" a higher mark after I've watched the Director's Cut - it makes more sense, explaining some things that were left without answers in the final version. |

I assume you have already watched The seventh seal from Bergman, so I'll point instead at Shame, a quite unusually visceral and violent Bergman but overall a great analysis of the effects of war, both physical and in terms of personality and the daily relationships. From the life of the marionettes is amazing as well, a story about the failure of marriage that is very similar in tone to the (much longer) Scenes from a marriage and its sequel with Saraband, both awesome. I'm quite into the Bergman movies focused on marriage, for some reason his negativity feels always pretty spot-on, instead of looking overdramatic. As for other kinds of film, Hour of the wolf is a strange horror with some great visuals, really mesmerizing, and I think you'll like the silence trilogy (I have watched two of them, was a bit disappointed with Through a glass darkly) and The virgin spring, in a similar vein to The seventh seal but way worse in my opinion, kind of disappointing. I can't say much about Herzog, but Grizzly man is great. A documentary on a quite unorthodox person who decides to live among grizzlie bears in Alaska and claims to be some sort of guru of environmentalism with his fight. While Herzog acknowledges the absurd of his decisions and thought processes, the whole movie is made with a sense of respect and impartiality that is really refreshing. For Kubrick I'll second Midgardosm with The killing and add Eyes wide shut, his last work that is an aesthetic prodigy just like the rest of his movies and develops a fascinating story about marriage that is focused on erotism. I need to focus more on Lumet but Before the devil knows you're dead is a quite strong movie, a story of losers, very wisely narrated and with some incredible acting (Philip Seymour Hoffman is really great here). About Buñuel, well, I haven't watched much of his French period, but I guess they are all esential. My favorites so far, aside from Viridiana, are two Mexican dramas/melodramas with a huge amount of satire. El or This strange passion, focused on jealousy, with a great lead acting from Arturo de Córdova; and Nazarin, a story about the subversion of the values of Christian charity in the same vein as Viridiana with an amazing Francisco Rabal as the naive and well-meaning priest. Also from the Mexican period, check Simon of the desert, a surreal comedic satire about a man practicing penitence while the devil tries to tempt him in various ways. And, even if I didn't love it, The young ones is an essential melodrama. From his later period, I'd take Tristana, which is maybe a little difficult to sell because it is an adaptation of a Spanish novel and may have a lot of context that isn't easy to translate, but in its core it deals with similar stuff to the rest of his movies, focusing on hypocrisy, false moralism and etc. In general, I don't know how many have you watched, but in my profile I have my favorite movies listed per decade, including some I've mentioned here, so there may be a few other pre-2000 recommendations (yeah, I know that Kubrick's and Lumet's are both post-2000, but I felt like mentioning them because they are a bit overlooked). bergdoll said: Here is my letterboxd sorted by highest rated. What do you recommend based on it? http://letterboxd.com/bergdoll/films/by/rating/ I'd recommend to stop using Letterboxd, because it's a chore to explore individual votes. Seriously though, seeing through your likes I think you'll enjoy The secret of NIMH a lot, a quite dark animation from Don Bluth that depicts a quite unusual heroine. From Zhang Yimou I'd recommend The road home, an insanely cute and charming romance drama that makes a great use of colors and visual compositions, with a really great lead acting. Anyway, these put aside, do you have any preference, or genre you want to focus on? It's difficult to make general recommendations.

Thank You. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is amazing, Jim Carrey in a rare dramatic role and the story is more of a romance drama that follows the consequences of being able to erase your memories. Cube is less of a sci-fi and more of a psychological thriller, but it's also great. From the last few years, I have to put the focus on Gravity, an amazingly immersive work that talks about a woman lost in space who is reduced to her instinct of survival. Classics like Metropolis, Alphaville, 2001, Planet of the apes, Stalker or Blade Runner are quite essential. If you are into sci-fi that digs into horror, then Alien, The thing and a few classic B-movies (X: The man with the X-ray eyes, The invasion of the body snatchers, The incredible shrinking man) are all really worth. And I second Snowpiercer, but you have to take into account mind that the movie is quite semi-serious, so it's exaggerated on purpose. Don't feel weirded out if you see a shooting taking place through the windows of a train in motion or the hero tripping over a fish in a serious situation. That's Bong Joon-ho for you, a quite dedicated subverter of genres and moods. |
| Thanks for the recommendation guys, I guess a listing site would do for films, but I've never been systematic about it as I am with anime, haha. @Midgardsorm I'll definitely check out The Hill, Connery's role in it seems quite promising, and knowing Lumet, it should be something to look forward to. When it comes to Kubrick, the only his film I've saved up for a special occasion (whatever it may be), is Barry Lyndon. I've seen the rest, including The Killing, which was quite an exciting heist movie. Witness for the Prosecution sounds like fun too. I'm not much familiar with Wilder's work (only seen Sunset Boulevard and The Apartment), but from what I've seen, I should probably change that in the near future. @jal90 Yes, I have seen The Seventh Seal, it seemed kind of redundant mentioning something that the average "Top 20 obscure films you probably missed" list would name, haha. I'm only vaguely familiar with the periods in Bergman's work, and it came as a surprise when I checked earlier that Winter Light is part of the Silence trilogy you've mentioned. It would've been the third film I'd name most likely, well, that or Fanny and Alexander. I have a thing for the question of faith theme. You picked my curiosity with Hour of the Wolf, so that will most likely be my next destination when it comes to Bergman. For Bunuel, This Strange Passion seems to be just what I appreciate of his work. As for Simon of the Desert, I've seen it and found it quite funny (though, sometimes it was for the unintended reasons), the conclusion had me laughing for half an hour at least. Given the context and the time the film came out, I'm guessing it was supposed to be more like a realization than something banal and ridiculous. Would dance that disco with Silvia Pinal though, she easily tops Marilyn Monroe in beauty and charm. Oh, and Nazarin was great too. |

I did sort it so everything on the first page was rated 8/10 or higher though, a.k.a. I liked everything there. I've seen The Secret of NIMH and consider it good but not among my favorites. The Road Home I'll check out, thanks. Well I am particularly fond of sci-fi and animation, but I'm already familiar with most of everything in those two genres. In general I'm fond of unorthodox, bold and/or ambitious larger than life scenarios. Massive stakes, powerful emotions, rich characterization, deep theme-exploration, mind-bending concepts and such. I care equally for technicalities and entertainment as well, so no snooze-fests like Bergman and Tarkovsky or purely dumb fun like Pacific Rim or Tarantino if you're hoping to find something I will place at the very top. |
corwin_r said: Thanks for the recommendation guys, I guess a listing site would do for films, but I've never been systematic about it as I am with anime, haha. You should definitely make a Letterboxd account corwin, I'd follow ya. As for recommendations, I'd totally second Eyes Wide Shut, currently my fave Kubrick movie (still want to see FMJ, Dr. Strangelove and Paths of Glory though). Great film about wealth hierarchies, power, temptation and such. Also, I saw a program that had an interview on Herzog a few years ago which got me interested in his stuff and him as an individual but regrettably I've only seen Stroszek from him and that's about as much as I've done for him, but it is a deeply cutting and sobering film about the American Dream, the ending is a doozy. Do check it out too if you haven't. Paul Thomas Anderson I'd also recommend a lot, his films are pretty diverse and tend to have some pretty huge scope and fantastic commitment to style in period pieces, high end production values, some meaty themes with unorthodox characters and narrative arcs, etc. While I still haven't started into Bunuel's filmography yet, I'm told he likes to focus on critiques of the bourgeoisie and such, and I think Fellini's 'La Dolce Vita' is quite a fantastic and scathing picture of the upper class; so far I'm not big on some of his later films (8 and 1/2 and Amarcord) during his art film phase (although I still need to see more) but LDV was I believe his last Italian neo-realist film and I think it's a masterpiece - lots of fantastic imagery and uses its episodic structure in interesting ways. I'd also recommend Fellini's big counterpart Michelangelo Antonioni, from the 4 films I've seen of his, I seem to gravitate more towards him than Fellini; his stuff involves a lot of existential ennui and the clashing of status, love and happiness. I like L'avventura the best because it has some beautiful natural imagery that works in tandem with the characters' emotions and sense of helplessness plus the ending has redemption to it while his later films are darker, but still intriguing. Similarly, Terrence Malick has a lot of spirituality to his works, his films tend to be about simple people dealing with problems that feel so grand and personal to them, making the plight of the everyman come off as profound and intimate. If you're to tackle his films I'd go in chronological order as his style slowly starts to become more abstract as it goes on. His films may take a few viewings to really reveal themselves to you, but he uses the medium to its fullest really, and his work is all about show over tell. I'm not sure he took pages from Antonioni exactly, but he weaves a story with his nature imagery that enhances the tales of the humans at play and such, especially with To the Wonder which is probably his most spare film in terms of plot and story, but I also find it to be one of his richest. Currently my favourite director actually, I ramble about him a lot. Krzysztof Kieślowski is probably one of the most unique directors out there, his films are hard to describe but they have this lyrical, dreamlike beauty to them. He tends to make films in certain groups or anthologies like his Three Colors trilogy where he subverts the 3 principles of the French flag and what they values mean, and those films have been classified as "anti-genre" films so to speak (anti-tragedy for Blue, anti-comedy for White and anti-romance for Red). Then there's Double Life of Veronique which was a rather challenging piece for me I need to revisit (partly because I looked at it from a weird framework) but it is something very unique and then there's his Decalogue where he has 10 hour-long films each devoted to one of the Ten Commandments and plays around with their messages and such; I've only seen Part V but it was one of the most real, visceral and heart-aching things I've ever seen. Lastly I'd probably say try out David Fincher's films, a lot of them are adaptations, but he makes some splendid productions out of them, the cinematography he tends to get always has this sharp and polished yet lurid sheen to it which tends to match his stories that are all about the cracks of darkness in society peaking through and humans making all this chaos. I particularly love Fight Club and Gone Girl myself, they have so much energy, great writing and constant thrills, a total blast. |
AngelsArcanumNov 8, 2015 8:36 PM
| I'd recommend Otto Preminger's Anatomy of a Murder, which is fairly similar to Lumet's work though Preminger certainly has his own ways. For Melville I'd recommend Jacques Becker's films Touchez Pas au Grisbi and Le Trou, and Akira Kurosawa's High and Low For Bergman I'd recommend John Ford's How Green Was My Valley. It's primarily about memory and the inevitability of death, but it sort of touches on the theme of faith in relation to that. It's subtle in what it actually has to say about that, though. And I would recommend Satyajit Ray's Apu trilogy and his later film Charulata for no particular reason other than that they're all really good. |

Squirtroll said: Recommend me something base on my favorite movies You seem to have a fondness for Aaron Sorkin, so I'll rec this year's Steve Jobs, the writing is absolutely dynamite and reveals so much character in such a small scale narrative and uses the plot setup to show a cool tale of binaries at demystifying Steve Jobs the man. Aaron Sorkin does the writing for The Social Network which is directed by David Fincher of Gone Girl as well, so I'd say definitely check out Fight Club if you haven't and perhaps Zodiac too, some more great works of his. |

Popka said: I kind of want to see Ridley Scott's The Counselor. When it came out some critics said it was absolutely terrible, but now it seems like a few people are starting to come around to it. Yeah, it's got a very bizarre way of narrative - there's very few things that actual happen in the plot of the movie, but they are still big shifts which are sandwiched between tons and tons of flowery dialogues and such. It stresses more the actual circumstances and results of the events rather than how they are presented, and it's all pretty dry throughout, but it all hides a deep sense of dissatisfaction and destruction with McCarthy's love of fatalism and such. My gut reaction upon seeing it was kind of favourable, although it's quite foggy in my mind and I definitely have to revisit it, but it's quite an odd one - basically a loquacious novel put into film with all the audio-visuals kind of just holding it together, so take that for what you will. |
