Flipping through older pages, but I just want to say my favorite posts in this thread are ones like this where I've seen and loved two of the movies and never heard of another. Like, this is nothing but a big flashing neon sign for me to see Cutie and the Boxer.

Looking for movies about the British lower class. For example, Attack the Block or Fish Tank are two great, vastly different movies about characters in the council estates in Britain. I'm not looking for any Guy Ritchie-esque movies.

I'm not looking for any Guy Ritchie-esque movies. Red Road is another good film from Andrea Arnold, who directed Fish Tank. The biggest name in British working-class drama films today, including for Arnold, is probably Ken Loach - I'd recommend My Name Is Joe as a starting point and see what you think. I'd also recommend Naked and Secrets & Lies from the great Mike Leigh for drama; Mona Lisa, Get Carter and Neds for crime films that far outdo Guy Ritchie for both verve and authenticity; and Four Lions from Chris Morris for comedy. There's also Billy Liar and Kes (Loach again) for 1960s British New Wave stuff which pretty much kicked off the trend for realistic depictions of the British working class, although I don't know that era nearly as well as I should. ^^^ The General is brilliant, I'm just ethically obligated to note it is Irish, from an English director. I did already recommend it in relation to British crime dramas in this very thread, and the council estate is a big feature, so obviously I second seeing it. Intermission as well, maybe, for working-class Irish comedy, because otherwise you're travelling a largely bleak path here.

Intermission seconded, but purely as a comedy. And probably Colin Farrell's best role, because he's playing a Dublin knacker ie: Himself.

Earth vs. the Spider? More seriously, there is a way to read Nightcrawler a little bit that way, although Nightcrawler lacks the visual style and the dreamlike confusion. Eyes Wide Shut is an obvious one if you haven't seen it, especially as it deals with the same theme. Probably a fair amount of David Lynch works if you want a little more surrealism. You might also like Michael Haneke's movies - there's something vaguely similar in them. The White Ribbon would be a good start. Kangra fucked around with this message at 08:10 on Dec 14, 2014 |

I really loved Nightcrawler. I haven't seen Eyes Wide Shut, but I might check it out. I love most David Lynch stuff, but I've seen most of it. The White Ribbon sounds good but I really haven't been into foreign language films lately. What I enjoyed about Enemy was the overall pace and surreal vibes.

Oh yeah I forgot about Naked, it' s a masterpiece. Watch all of Mike Leigh's films he's pretty much the greatest living British filmmaker. Here's a great one with another early performance by Tim Roth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJE3zlyRhhE

I'm interested in 60-70's exploitation films. I'm not real picky about the subject matter or how low-budget/chessy it is. Switchblade Sisters is a good example.

Anybody have any good gritty crime dramas that are more small "hood" crime than like mafia gangsters/organized crime? Think movies like Out of the Furnace, Killing them Softly or The Place Beyond the Pines

Think movies like Out of the Furnace, Killing them Softly or The Place Beyond the Pines Going off that list I am sure you would be into Animal Kingdom. I'd also suggest the Pusher trilogy, Sexy Beast, and La Haine for more modern European efforts, and Get Carter, Blue Collar, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie ('78 cut) and The Friends of Eddie Coyle for classic 70s-era - they're all set in scuzzy low-level criminal underworlds featuring chain-reaction type plots, which I am all about. Eddie Coyle is even from the same author as Cogan's Trade, the source material for Killing Them Softly.

second-hand smegma posted:The Killing of a Chinese Bookie is so loving good. Watch any version. Watch all versions. Yeah, I do have to agree. I still say the 78 cut for starters, if only because in the 76 version the extended club performances scenes were a loving trial, and I didn't think that would be possible to say of a stage show presented by a little fey squat dude in a top hat called Mr. Sophistication. But there's a number of great scenes lost from the original and in any case it's fun and cool to be able to compare the edits.

Think movies like Out of the Furnace, Killing them Softly or The Place Beyond the Pines Drive, The Lookout, Out of Sight, Jackie Brown, Killer Joe, Point Blank, Payback (either version, but I think the directors cut is a little better), No Country for Old Men, and about fifty different noir films.

In addition to Paris, Texas, there's also Don't Look Back from Wim Wenders too. Another one that, while not great, really nails loneliness and isolation, would be I'm the Same, I'm an Other - a really quiet and spare story about a guy unfit to take care of a young girl sort of forced into that situation. There's a lot of focus on the girl as well. It's the middle of a planned trilogy — I haven't seen the first part, but in that one [Lost Persons Area] there are likely similar themes. If you only watch the second one, it may help to know it picks up about where the first ends: her parents kill themselves and the guy is a family friend with no idea how to proceed.
