Any films which involve walking/driving around classical European towns/cities, and really make use of those locations? Think Before Sunrise (Vienna), Before Sunset/2 Days in Paris (uh, Paris  ), Certified Copy (various places in Tuscany), The Grand Beauty (Rome).

Its been awhile but I think Perfume with Alan Rickman had some pretty good European settings. (France I think) And The Libertine had some cool classical England throughout.

Zaphod42 posted:Somehow missed this part earlier. Yeah, after this and a friend's recommendation, it's probably time to check out the Dune miniseries. Somehow I was under the impression they were low-rent and bad. On that tangent, since I recently saw Jodorowsky's Dune - what other Jodorowsky movies besides The Holy Mountain (which I've seen) are worth checking out?

I'm assuming you've seen Before Midnight but you didn't list it so I'll just make sure.

I mean, I think they do kinda have that perception with some people. Its a made for television miniseries that was on the sci-fi channel, and at times the budget kinda shows. There is some really great costuming, set design, and even some decent CG for its time, though. Basically if you're not into Dune it would probably seem kinda cheesy but if you're into Dune I think you can look past all that and really enjoy it. Its interesting, there's things that I like about Lynch's version better, things I like about sci-fi's version better, and things that Jodorowsky would have done better.

Been recently looking for something along the lines of Le Samurai. I love that minimalist jazzy feel. Also I've been hard pressed to find something that had the same feel of True Detective. The closest I've found was Marshland which I loved. Any recommendations would be great!!

You probably already know this, but Le Samurai was remade as Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai, which is great. The American starring George Clooney would likely scratch that itch. Hannah and the 1970's version of Day of the Jackal might also fit the category.

john woo is not minimalist. hes overthetopist or maximalist. camera, music, dialogue, the way characters act out their emotions is all trying to beat you over the head with a kitchen sink

More movies like Crank? Just ball-to-the-wall, over the top, violent, bloody, adrenaline pumping action. Expendables 2 also fits the bill.

Its both an extremely good parody of action movie cliches and a really great action movie at the same time. The Raid is non-stop balls to the wall violence, and the sequel The Raid: Redemption is good too, although less focused. Hobo with a shotgun is surprisingly good if you're willing to accept that it is extreeeeemely over-the-top, to the point of being intentional exploitation film style, like Grindhouse. Hard Boiled and most Woo films are a little less over-the-top but they're masterpieces of bloody, adrenaline pumping action.

I couldn't get very far into Hobo with a Shotgun due to the sadistic "nastiness," but I love all your other choices. And I have to recommend The Killer, John Woo's earlier magnum opus, especially as a double-feature with Hard Boiled.

Its really awkward if you try to approach it like any kind of a normal movie. Then I went and played Hotline Miami a bunch, and then something kinda clicked, and I went back and watched Hobo again and it all made sense.

Cantaloupe posted:Are there any other neon-noir movies in the vein of Thief or Drive? I don't really know what neon-noir is. Drive didn't really have a lot of neon in it. Oh, did you typo Neo-noir? If so, check out Brick. Although I just googled "neon noir" and this came up http://letterboxd.com/breeefcase/list/15-neon-noir/

Yeah, I misspelled neo. "Neon-noir" is still pretty appropriate for Thief though. Brick and a few of the ones on that list seem pretty interesting, I'll check them out.

That website probably made the same typo  I can confirm that Brick and Strange Days are both enjoyable and Noir style. Strange Days would actually probably count as "neon-noir" too because its cyberpunk  Blade Runner of course is a quintessential classic. I'm not sure how I saw it a couple times before I really fell for it, I guess I was young and its kinda a slow movie. But SO good. Haven't seen the others personally.

To Live and Die in L.A. and The Driver are good ones. for me its about using stuff like urban street lighting to create contrast, using this as one of the main ways to tell the story visually. Like refn picked locations for drive by going around LA in the middle of the night

I think what he wants (I want the same) is a movie that goes slightly into noir but mainly fetishizes urban landscapes and synth pop with protagonists that communicate a lot but mainly dont use words to communicate.
