Goon Danton posted:Anyway I'm accidentally off my anxiety meds which means it's time to sublimate my feelings into horror movies! Two John Carpenter inspired requests: Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire, maybe? It's kind of hard to tell what they're about, but I think that's part of it. All hell breaking lose: Evil Dead 2, From Dusk Till Dawn, Uzumaki and House (1977) qualify, I think. Cymbal Monkey posted:I love Sogo ishii's Electric Dragon 80,000V, the music, the aesthetic and the tone were all totally my kind of thing. I wanted to check out more Sogo Ishii but the dude's made like a billion films. Does anyone have some top Ishii films? Maybe Takashi Miike's Dead or Alive trilogy? It also reminds me a little bit of Tetsuo: The Iron Man. And More fucked around with this message at 10:00 on Apr 22, 2018 |

This may be a bit too obvious, but The Big Short? There are also some pretty interesting documentary films out there such as David Wants to Fly and Tickled, if you just want to find out about some outrageous poo poo.

ButtWolf posted:Hello, I just watched 'Paterson.' I am looking for more great slice-of-life films. Please and thank you. I would say Trees Lounge, Big Night, Frances Ha, Mistress America, The Straight Story, maybe stuff like Smoke or Short Cuts if you're up for the whole 90s anthology trend? Also for more Jim Jarmusch there's Stranger Than Paradise and Mystery Train as two of my favourites of his, and most/all of Mike Leigh's work, but I'd particularly recommend Naked and Secrets & Lies. Hope that's the kind of stuff you're looking for.

It's exceptionally aimless but the characters are all so delightful that it doesn't matter. It's a film I've rewatched loads just because I enjoy spending time with these characters so much.

I don't know if it quite fits what you're asking -- there is virtually no plot, it is perhaps the slowest movie I've ever watched, and is more about a setting than characters -- but I'm going to recommend Flowers of Shanghai. It's probably *the* movie that made me appreciate that films could be works of art and beauty and not just storytelling devices. Maybe the most gorgeously shot movie I've ever watched. I watched it in a narcotic haze while recovering from surgery and that's probably the ideal way to watch it given its subject matter but smoking marijuanas would also be a good fit, assuming of course it is legal in your jurisdiction.

I would like to cast a wide net and request recommendations for lesser-known mystery/crime thrillers, ideally from the 1970s through the 1990s, along the lines of Tightrope, Sea of Love, The Silence of the Lambs etc. in which an investigator doggedly pursues a murderer.

Dunno if these are lesser-known enough, but Altman's Long Goodbye, DePalma's Blow Out, Paul Schrader's Hardcore and Polanski's Frantic are some of my fave investigative neo-noirs. edit: I assume you know about Michael Mann's pre-Lambs Lector movie Manhunter. Add To Live and Die in LA for an amazing William Petersen 80's cop (or federal agent whatever) double bill. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 11:12 on Aug 6, 2018 |

Three Days of the Condor, The Parallax View, and The Conversation are all great. E: they're not exactly lesser known films though

It isn't fully about the investigator pursuing a murderer, but the '70s original version of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three is excellent. I just watched it again recently, and the pacing is perfect. It feels like a modern movie as much as it does a '70s movie, but it also has that unmistakable '70s New York griminess, with a cast of mostly unattractive older men who look like real people, not actors.

You're going to LOVE The Long Goodbye (I hope), and that's a perfect movie to start off a triple-feature with The Big Lebowski and Inherent Vice. If you have the Hoopla service through your public library, The Long Goodbye is available for free streaming through it. Then when you get around to watching The Conversation, one could argue it has a sequel that came out over 20 years later: Enemy of the State.

FalloutGod posted:I've seen Snowden (2016) whats the difference between that and this? I missed this months old post but anyway, Citizenfour is the actual documentary filmed of Snowden revealing the NSA spying network. The filming of Citizenfour is dramatized in Snowden (Melissa Leo plays Laura Poitras and Zachary Quinto plays Glenn Greenwald). It's also a much better movie and doesn't make up a bunch of poo poo for dramatic purposes.

Robert Mitchum had a good turn as Marlowe in the 70s in Farewell, My Lovely and a remake of The Big Sleep. I haven't seen the latter recently, but the former is grimy and world-weary as hell.

I guess the Chilean film Tony Manero and the Italian film Reality if you're up for subtitled experiences? I don't know if they're 100% cast-iron what you're looking for but they're very close, and everything else that comes to mind is more actors and directors who lose their sense of reality to a project or suchlike

Staying on topic, I'm on a classic noir kick lately and trying to find something great that I've missed. I've seen: The Big Sleep (both) Double Indemnity The Maltese Falcon Out of the Past Murder, My Sweet Sunset Blvd. The Third Man In a Lonely Place The Woman in the Window Touch of Evil Blast of Silence I plan on watching: Laura Mildred Pierce Detour I've seen some that are generally considered noir, but feel more categorically loose, like Gun Crazy, Night of the Hunter, Scarlet Street, and Sweet Smell of Success, but I'm looking for the standard plots of a detective figuring out a murder or finding a missing person/object, instead of just a general crime film (unless it's reeeeeally good). Smart dialogue is a plus. I know I could use google, but it spits back the same lists and I don't know how comprehensive it is. I wish they churned these out like they used to. Even the 70s were chock full of neo-noir, and we're in a similar bad situation now, coming off the heels of a poo poo war and embroiled in social divide and political corruption. Possibly more cynical as a society than ever in the past 70 years, we're primed for a noir resurgence.

I would like to request recommendations for adventure movies. Movies in the vein I'm looking for which I've enjoyed include: the Indiana Jones movies and television series; Sky Captain (flawed but entertaining); The Man Who Would Be King; The Wind and the Lion; The African Queen; Spielberg and Jackson's Tintin movie; and Tales of the Gold Monkey (another television series), to name a few examples. Movies that provided the DNA for Indiana Jones, really, or which did a good job of replicating it. I would be happy to accept film serials if you can tell me where I can find them.
