McCabe & Mrs. Miller is a bit in that vein, I think. Anything else? The Wrestler

I watched The Hunt for the Red October for the first time ever, and really enjoyed how it differs from modern action/thrillers. Maybe it's the 90's, slower pace, less bombastic, less reliance on CGI, less joke-y stuff or something (it felt downright cozy), but are there any modern equivalent films of this type? The fact it had submarines was completely irrelevant for me to be honest. I should probably rewatch bunch of 90's action thriller films I don't remember a thing about but I genuinely am wondering if anything more modern approaches this kind of a film? Could be a fairly known box office hit, I'm not a big film buff. But contrasting away from modern action films and marvel-like stuff.

magic cactus posted:Anyone have an recommendations for documentaries similar to Into Great Silence? Watched that one recently and I really like its minimal dialogue and focus on letting the sounds and pace of life at the monastery envelop the viewer, without really going into "talking head" type stuff. Subject matter can be secular or religious. Thanks for any recommendations! Faya Dayi Baraka/Samsara

The other Jack Ryan movies from that time period really hold up : Clear and Present Danger Patriot Games More modern stuff like it? Fewer and farther between, I second the Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy recommendation and would add : A Most Wanted Man The Bridge of Spies The Constant Gardener The Night Manager (the one with Hugh Laurie)

morestuff posted:Leviathan is great, but make sure it’s not the narrative feature that came out around the same time. Manakamana from the same folks too Manakamana is a Harvard Sensory Ethnography Lab project but it’s by not the same directors as Leviathan. The directors of Leviathan did go on to do an absolutely wild documentary about famous cannibal Issei Sagawa, Caniba, and a recent documentary about the human body by way of surgeries and autopsies called De Humani Corporis Fabrica. They definitely have more in common with Leviathan than Manakamana, but one of the two (Lucien Casting Taylor) also co directed Sweetgrass, which is a similar vibe to what the op is looking for

I recommend them all, but as you might expect from the subject matter Caniba and De Humani Corporis Fabrica are pretty rough watches

Has a similar feel to Red October but with flashier tony Scott direction and some unmistakable Tarantino dialogue (he did punch up). Denzel and Hackman are terrific.

I have a weird craving for a good horror movie with a demon villain whose ambitions aim higher than "inflict relatively juvenile terror on some random family for kicks". I don't know why I keep inflicting James Wan movies upon myself and would love for a palate cleanser where the antagonist isn't just some petty pest to send the roach patrol after. Surely an effectively immortal and profoundly evil being has far better things to do with its time?

I don’t know if “weird sex stuff” is more or less ambitious than that but you might enjoy the first couple Hellraisers.

Noroi : The Curse is a found footage Japanese movie, it's more about the researcher following the demon. Kind of in the neighborhood of what you're after

Renting a cabin for New Years with the possibility of being snowed in. What’s some good frozen horror? Shining and the Thing of course, but any deeper cuts?

Thanks for the recs, all! Looks like a good mix of classics I've for some reason never gotten to and newer foreign films I'd otherwise not have heard of.
