What are some really good ones? -Against All Odds -Body Double -Bound (1996) -Fatal Attraction -Sleeping with the Enemy -Jade (has a good car chase at least). PS I keep forgetting to watch Sliver (1993).

MockingQuantum posted:My friends are on a murder mystery kick, and I could use some recommendations because I don't know of a ton off the top of my head. We've done Clue, Knives Out, Murder Mystery (which was more enjoyable than I ever expected it could be), the most recent BBC adaptation of And Then There Were None (which I guess isn't a movie, but whatever). The Blind Melody AKA Andhadhun was good. Really feels like a modern Hitchock film set in India. edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnNcjFpILQA Zogo fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Jun 27, 2020 |

piratepilates posted:So now I'm curious about movies that play up the voyeurism aspect, particularly with the camera work playing up the voyeurism aspect, where it feels like you're watching something you shouldn't be. I'm thinking of something like (the excellent) The Conversation, with the intro being a super telephoto lens spying on someone with the park, and the movie being focused around a guy whose job is to just snoop in on other people without them knowing. Anyone have any recommendations on that vein? With or without the previous criteria. Body Double (1984) has a lot of that. Dirty Harry (1971) has some moments like that as well. Q (1982) has some brief moments IIRC. Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) too.

regulargonzalez posted:I get into the mood for horror about once a year and that time is now. Looking for something similar to Jacob's Ladder, In the Mouth of Madness, The Empty Man, The Tenant, Repulsion. Reality crumbling, protagonist going insane, that's the vibe I'm looking for. When done right, the viewer is put in the same situation as the protagonist where they're struggling to make sense of everything as well. Inland Empire does this too I guess but I didn't like that one. Maybe I need to give it another try. The Beyond (1981)

magic cactus posted:Are there any other movies out there that portray kind of the push-pull between being a human being and being religious? I can only think of "First Reformed" "Diary of A Country Priest" and maaybe "Winter Light" with "Spring Summer Winter Fall and Spring" kind of skirting the line. Doesn't need to be a rom-com. If you want an eschatological adventure then you may like The Rapture (1991).

Timby posted:Dredd. Jack B Nimble posted:Yeah I mean one no-brainer would be to go watch everything else Nolan has made.  whiskas posted:I prefer great story over great execution. A movie can have some crustiness to it as long as the story holds up and the characters are strong. I abhore cliche, tropey, or predictable plots, I lose interest very quickly. I have a lot of fun with stories that surprise or manipulate the viewer. I generally love Tarantino movies with the exception of Kill Bill, I hate more mainstream PG superhero movies, or any action movie where the protagonist has excessive plot armor. I don't enjoy horror, but tragedies intrigue me. As far as comedy, the toilet scene in Dumb and Dumber made me laugh hysterically to the point of tears, to give you an idea. I have a soft spot for sci-fi and historical stories. You've left lots of room open for interpretation but I thought about it for a while and here are some not already mentioned that you might like: -Alita: Battle Angel -Brawl in Cell Block 99 -Dinner for Schmucks -Dogtooth -Dragged Across Concrete -Edge of Tomorrow -Ender's Game -Gone Girl -Good Time -Kick-rear end -Manchester by the Sea -The Other Guys -Sicario -Toni Erdmann -Wild Tales I'll stop at fifteen. That's one film per year since 2008.
