| Just to get some truly quality recommendations out of this. I think the most interesting section of anyone's favorite list is that "highly biased / personal / extreme / etc." chunk that one would most likely NEVER tell others to check them out. And I'm all for it. What are some of your favorite, or adored, films that you're hesitant to recommend? And why? Edit: Also this might make it sound like I'm only looking for weird shit. Doesn't matter how generic your answer is, as long as you can give me some insights as to why you don't recommend them. |

| Pretty much my favorite Bollywood movies, simply because of the fact that most people other than South Asians don't even want to bother with them. Of course, if anyone around here wants some recommendations, let me know! :D |

| The original Poseidon Adventure if you have some sort of anxiety disorder. I don't and every time I watch that movie I get very anxious. |

Of course, if anyone around here wants some recommendations, let me know! :D I've seen and loved quite a few Bollywood films but I'm no expert (along with some Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Cambodian flicks). And why yes this thread is all about the list you wouldn't recommend, which is a roundabout way of saying please recommend. So yeah I'd love to see your list. |

I've watched anxiety-inducing stuffs that are considered extreme before, and I generally love them. It's one of the most effective ways to get the thrills right, and it's one of the more desirable forms of horror. I'll put the movie on my watchlist. |

| Basically anything. I have no time to share my beloved art works with mere mortals who have no taste whatsoever. Yes Sucker Punch is genius. Yes Meet the Spartans only gets better with age. And yes, I might have re-watched American Pie 2 like 20 times, but it is not like a human can even understand what I'm talking about. And if I say Don't be a Menace, you'll cancel me. |

Haha, well the movie is from the 70s so don't expect things to be too crazy. I imagine newer thriller movies are more anxiety inducing. Something about the Poseidon Adventure gives me anxiety, maybe it is the fear of being in a sinking ship. |

I get that this is a joke, but I probably would've respected the response more if you just go full out brazen about it and not say "you'll cancel me". Like you know ain't nobody on here gonna say shit. I like people who have unusual list, ranging from some weird old coming-of-age like "If I Had a Gun" to "Twilight". Bro it legit doesn't matter. Pump out more if you can. |

Not to say all thrillers now are bad or anything, but a good amount of my favorite thrillers dated back before the 80s or 90s. But I also generally don't like it too old. Like 20s and 30s drama or whatever are fine, great even, but thrillers back then aren't very 'thrilling' I think. Only a handful of them. So I should be good. |

ok man, what you say is absolute. Now are you gonna be all pansy and stop there, or are you gonna continue giving more stuffs from your list? Your choice baby. |

Preachee said: ok man, what you say is absolute. Now are you gonna be all pansy and stop there, or are you gonna continue giving more stuffs from your list? Your choice baby. I mean, Scary Movie is definitely there too, and speaking of horror, there was this DOOM movie with the Rock before he got all juiced up, which I think is actually good. Hell I wouldn't even recommend Tremors, although I think it is about as perfect as a horror movie can get. Transformers I is definitely my guilty pleasure, which is the only Michael Bay movie other than No Pain, No Gain that I've ever enjoyed. And truth be told, I re-watched Clash of the Titans recently, which I remember as some of my biggest disappointments from the late 2000s, and I thought it is actually okay without all the hype around it. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, I used to love it as a child, and I thought there is now way I'll still like it, but I re-watched it without any problems recently. Twice. Anything with Eva Green, but the person may start thinking that I'm telling them to watch it for reasons other than Eva Green, and the same goes for Emily Blunt, or any other actress that I like. See, it is just too difficult to recommend something unless it is considered a masterpiece by most. Just look at my anime favorites. Since Meusnier told me that such paragraphs hurt his brain, I will stop here. |

Exactly and I hated that, which is the whole reason why this thread existed in the first place. I don't want the obvious answers "oh watch 2001 and jerk off to it" (yeah really cool sci-fi but still I'm tired of seeing people recommending these 'obvious' stuffs). 149597871 said: Hell I wouldn't even recommend Tremors, although I think it is about as perfect as a horror movie can get.

I haven't watched Mr and Mrs Smith in precisely over a decade now, but seeing it as a kid was still oddly kinda wild. I'll try out the Pain Gain movie, doesn't hurt to check out a Bay flick once in a while. I love Emily Blunt. Didn't like A Quiet Place much, but even still I always appreciate her. Also fucking loved Sicario and Edge of Tomorrow. |

Rndmguypassingby said: the dumpster fire kung fu hustle And how tf is kung fu hustle a dumpster fire? If anything it's a goddamn masterpiece. One of my favorites actually. |

| I have quite many of those Attack of the adult babies - British satire horror movie. Weirdly resembles The society 1989 film but just with a lot of toilet humor. Also this is prob weirdest reason to like a movie that no one else cares about, but the director is also an actor in Emmerdale and I just laughed in joy reading that info. Cool dude. The night of the virgin/La noche del virgen - Spanish horror comedy. Has some great disgusting scenes but due to that may not suit everyone. Phenomena - It was good experience watching it in the theater, but I think it won't hold same effect if you watch it at home without big audience. Vase de Noces/Wedding Trough/The Pig Fucking Movie - The alternative USA title tells it all why I don't rec it to people unless I'm sure they are not bothered by exploitation films. I like it for the almost post-apocalyptic athmosphere in it. The Phantom of the Opera - It's my guilty pleasure movie. I admit it's a shitty adaptation of the musical that already was shitty adaptation of the og novel The Burning Buddha man - Japanese animated horror movie. This one is just really bizarre and needs some open mind while watching. I'm amazed often by Ujicha's creativity. Violent Shit - German gory horror shlock. it fits my tastes but as far as I know most people dislike it. A lot In fabric - Artsy British horror movie about a killer dress. I love its visuals and their creativity but this movie certainly doesn't fit big audience tastes I have also some Finnish movies that I watched as a young kid/teen, but they are unavailable outside Finland as far as I know. Prinsessa Ruusunen 1949, I have watched it quite many times in my childhood and still like it. Niskavuori movies there is like ten of them fom different decades, it has some of my favorite characters of all time. Often people laugh at the fact I watch them and sure as movies they aren't that good. |

| I'm very cautious about who I recommend films like Salo, Irreversible and Cannibal Holocaust, despite thinking that they're brilliant pieces of work. |

Yaboyblunty said: Rndmguypassingby said: cause many ppl who ive talked about it with have stated that its weird bad and illogical lol but its also one of my all times favorites Dumb ppl smh kung fu hustle is obviously a parody of kung fu movies while being areally good kung fu movie It's got comedy and action What's not to like? Whenever i used to wtach this my older cousins had a disgusted look and most of my frnds used to think i love watching weird things lol |
| @konkelo I can definitely see why these aren't recommended. But I can handle just about any amount of shock and gore, so I'll be good. Some good stuffs on your list that I got: Phenomena - Who doesn't want some delicious Argento flicks from time to time? And I haven't watched this one yet. Vase de Noces - A premise that interests me. Absurd concept that if used properly could really be something worth looking into (you definitely sold it to me with the "almost post-apocalyptic atmosphere"). The Burning Buddha Man - looks great In Fabric - horror + visuals + creativity I probably wouldn't wanna watch stuffs like "Violent Shit" as you'd imagine, unless it's exploitation mixing with sardonic humor (which is actually pretty cool). Pure exploitations often end up being unintentionally funny but still leaving a foul aftertaste, or just not very interesting overall. |

LoveLikeBlood said: I'm very cautious about who I recommend films like Salo, Irreversible and Cannibal Holocaust, despite thinking that they're brilliant pieces of work. Basically the holy trinity of extreme cinema. Or at least the three with most long-lasting infamy. Didn't like Salo or Cannibal Holocaust too much, but both of them have quite a few great things to offer, especially if we look at the context (Salo is possibly among the most insane movie releases of all time). About Irreversible, probably the "hardest" one out of the three, but also strangely the most alluring one. Something about the sequences leading up to the you-know-what scene is so unspeakably depraved but incredibly alluring. And then that long ass scene kicks in and my whole day is ruined. Still I can't help coming back to it from time to time, for whatever reason. Probably watched it like 4 times by now. Still didn't like it but couldn't deny it either. |

The Rectum scene at the beginning of the film is flat out nauseating, and honestly activated my fight-or-flight response like few other films have been able to. With that said, I'll definitely concur that it has a hypnotic quality to it due to the dizzying camerawork and kaleidoscopic lighting. Almost felt like a Kenneth Anger film dragged into cruel, harsh reality. |

| Probably The Comic from 1985. I think it was trying to be arty, but it's just one big incomprehensible mess. At one point it was pretty obscure, my DVD was a dodgy psuedo-public domain release, and I was honestly kind-of pissed when it got a BD because now more people know of it. |

Wait, one of your favorite movies is an incomprehensible mess? Also I'm pretty sure it's still very much an obscure film. If it were "at one point" "pretty obscure" then I've no idea what obscurity even means. Or maybe it's a locally well-known film, like When the Tenth Month Comes to Vietnam? |

Yeah I suppose it still is kinda obscure, but it's now easier to buy being on BD. Before it was released by a sketchy company along with other titles, and they were sold for £1 in pound stores and other budget stores, and wasn't easy to buy online. I think it got a VHS release in the US also? because I remember someone mentioning it, I've been kind of obsessed about gathering info about this movie lol. |

Well if that's how you view "truly obscure" then I do have this one movie that I've always wanted to watch for quite some time now. I've mentioned the film on MAL a few times before, it's called The End of the Track, directed by the notorious Mou Tun-fei (basically the guy made some brutal, disgusting and borderline exploitative movies about Unit 731, though the said film is nothing like that). The movie, at least the last time I checked, doesn't have any DVD, online or pirated release, let alone a Criterion or whatever. It's a rare opportunity to even catch a screening of it, and I missed it. Honestly I just wouldn't mind the thing being released more publicly. At one point I was losing my mind over it lol. But yeah, I guess there's no denying that at one point (or even now, but I haven't been updating) this film was so incredibly obscure. I can imagine the film losing some of its novelty with a BD release. |

| two films that I absolutely loved but I would not recommend unless I know you would be ok with them are Beasts of no Nation and The Killing of the Sacred Deer. both are extremely disturbing for very different reasons. the first one is a brutal depiction of child soldiers, torture, and the horrors that a civil war (in this case set in West Africa) brings. it contains all possible sensitive topics you can think of, and I had a hard time watching it but in a good way? it doesn't hold back and it totally hits you. hard. I am a fan of war movies, though. if you are too, I would MAYBE recommend it. the second one is just not for everyone. it's a complete hit or full-on miss. it is creepy, paranormal, and disturbing. it's not "scary" but unsettling, slow, kinda weird... and then it goes down a spiral of full-on anxiety. I exited the cinema literally cold-sweating. the story... is quite simple: a man, a father, meets the devil. I don't wanna go further because I would enter spoiler territory, but imo it is one of the BEST works from Yorgos Lanthimos. that man is not ok and I love it. I would only recommend it to the lovers of this director. so... here ya go! |

| heathers (1989) because if you have seen or listened to at least part of the musical, the movie is very predictable. the movie and musical are very similar, with just a few small things being changed (for example, in the musical veronica's childhood friend was martha dunnstock, but in the movie it was betty finn.) , which may be good for fans of the movie going to the musical, but not great for fans of the musical wanting to watch the movie. |
| I couldn’t recommend this film, because it simply isn’t good. Nice soundtrack though, and funny in a way that isn’t very clever. |
| Upstream Color.. I like it for some reasons I don't understand and also the OST, but the movie may come off as pretentious or weird. Spring Breakers.. I like the liquid narrative, the nastiness/craziness of this film but... :p This Transient Life.. again, another film that may come off as pretentious, and the disturbing aspect of incest. In The Loop.. because of the expletives.. and it is not about the expletives at all. Some movies like Woman in The Dunes, 3 Women, The Science of Sleep, Su-ki-da (2005). I can't explain. |

midding said: Spring Breakers.. I like the liquid narrative, the nastiness/craziness of this film but... :p Been meaning to watch this one.

Shit man, this one's a tough one, not because of anything specifically but only because I fucking hated it xD I've watched a few other Akio Jissoji's movies before, and honestly I thought this one was the worst. I legit don't give a shit if it's incest or worm fucking or whatever, I just really disliked his supposedly "best movie". But it's not that I'm fixed to this opinion. One-time viewing ignorance more than often has proven true. At some point I may try rewatching it. Also I think you can recommend Woman in the Dunes to a lot more people than you'd think. It's a fairly popular film among film students, and a very well-received one for sure (I liked it myself, loved Kobo Abe's works in general). Otherwise, great list. A lot of things I'd love to check out. |

Like idk man, that's basically the defining traits of horror (or at least should be), and I'd bet most people don't find jump "scares" super scary or anything. Seems like you didn't understand my point. Guess I shouldn't have included the last part about "jump scares" or whatever. Let me put it this way. Whatever kind of horror you say, I just simply don't see it as intrinsically unconventional (bold for someone who hasn't seen any Lanthimos films I know, but I'm more than confident with the amount of horror films I've seen so far. Still, I'll say this is only a premature judgement, and I'm willing to be proven wrong.). It is only unconventional by means of the narrative (which applies to any genre, not just horror), and many other things that may or may not intertwine i.e. editing, pacing, premise, concept, etc.. A horror is unconventional because it is artistically unconventional, not because some don't make you jump out of your seats or that others are more atmospheric. These inner feelings don't automatically make something "not your normal typical horror". If you've seen a bunch of older flicks, you'd know "unsettling, moody, bizarre" isn't particularly special. Cure (1997), Safe (1995) are all considered horrors. So you know I'm not someone who's gonna be surprised by these sorts of stuffs. Now I said it very clearly at the beginning that this is all subjective ("at least to me" part). So I'm just expressing how I agree with you the things you mention is scary, and that it is definitively the "horror" I'm most afraid of. And I'm sure talking about horror film traits for a thread about "your favorite films" isn't very out of place. If people just keep pumping out movies without further discussions, it'd be boring. So don't worry, I'm the OP and I think this is fine. It's not like we're discussing about US politics in great length or anything. |

| I am sort of wary about recommending Peter Tscherkassky's shorts in general, because they could be physically sickening to certain audiences (like seizure-inducing). They are also quite intense experiences regardless. |
