I want to watch some films with crazy costumes after watching Eurovision last night. I got a real Fifth Element vibe from the presenters and some of the acts. So, either S/F films where the designers have gone wild, or anything else where the clothing is unusual or significant in conveying the atmosphere of the film.

The scenes in the Capitol in the Hunger Games movies are actually pretty good for that.

Post-apocalyptic films in general seem to deliver on that front. The entire Mad Max trilogy thrives on its unique character designs.   Or if you're looking for something different, check out Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

I just watched Kill List and would really love some similar recommendations. Not specifically a horror, just a movie that's very subtle, mysterious and open for personal interpretation

Was it more the secret alien horror aspect, the "trying to understand this whole humanity thing" aspect, or the slow but introspective tone?

Also maybe Take Shelter, Splice, Martha Marcy May Marlene, and some of the darker, stranger Jim Jarmusch stuff like Dead Man or Only Lovers Left Alive, or perhaps even Herzog along the lines of Aguirre. I guess I'm thinking more dark, introspective outsider-perspective journeys with similar themes, so I apologise if you're looking for more directly comparable films.

A lot of Tim Burton's movies (Corpse Bride, Nightmare Before Christmas, etc), have a lot of interesting/goofy character design, if not specifically clothing (though sometimes).

Recommend me films that you want to recommend me. They don't necessarily have to be your favourite films, they don't even have to be good. The kind of film you're dying to recommend, that's what I want to watch.

I just watched Wake in Fright and Sorcerer and I loved them both, I can't stop thinking about them. Any more dark, manly movies about desperate people and horrible places? Preferably in the 70s or 80s, I love how the movies seemed so dangerous back then, like people on the set could be killed and stuff.

Well, if you're in love with Cagney, One, Two, Three is tremendous fun. See also Other Men's Women, The Strawberry Blonde, Mister Roberts, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

I enjoyed the hell out of Abrams' Star Trek movies. Should I give the other ST films a go or not even bother?

The movies are a mixed bag and even the "good" ones tend to assume familiarity with whichever incarnation of the TV show was running at the time.

Yaws posted:Nope. No other Star Trek whatsoever. Okay. Abram's Trek is mostly a reimagining of the original series, which goes along with the first six movies, so if you start there you'll at least recognize some of the characters. None of this is a promise of actual quality (I haven't seen the Trek movies since I was about eight years old) but if you like hammy, optimistic science fiction the franchise probably has something you'll enjoy. Also, by far the best Trek movie is Galaxy Quest, but it's all in-jokes so don't watch it right away.

Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn. Or you could go the other direction in time and watch Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WjsqVwWyrI And many Terry Gilliam movies blend the past with some sort of scifi/fantasy and have crazy costumes, such as The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.

I'm looking for fairly recent (2000 or later) horror movies with lots of gore, similar to the Laid to Rest and Wrong Turn series. Any recommendations?

What are some good anthology movies? Ideally where all of the segments are quite strong. I've seen both V/H/S's, Four Rooms, New York Stories. I suppose the Decalogue also counts. Films that aren't strictly anthologies but do go from storyline to storyline are fine too -- Slackers and Waking Life, for example.

So yesterday I rewatched Ip Man I and II and I loved the blatant culture differences that are shown in both movies. I have a kind of a handicap when it comes to getting visual cues, but in these movies it's so.. There. The division in the boxing ring, the different outfits, I loved "noticing" all that. Any more movies about culture differences in a colony or something that's as blatantly obvious as this? I don't have any preferences about the country, although the Hong Kong example is perfect.
