The Babadook was my #2 last year and is on Netflix Instant (edit: just remembered it's Australian, still awesome), It Follows is flawed but definitely worth a watch (dunno instant access). House of the Devil is rad and is also on Netflix Instant the last time I checked. Punch Drunk Drewsky fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Sep 6, 2015 |

Ravenous is probably my favorite horror movie of the last twenty years.

Punch Drunk Drewsky posted:Odd type of recommendation question. Michael Mann has been hit and miss for me in the past. I love Collateral, Manhunter, and The Insider but I was cold bordering on bored with Ali, Miami Vice, and Public Enemies (I'm ok on Heat but I watched it only once years ago). Check out Last of the Mohicans. It usually gets ignored as a Mann film because it's very different from all his others. Great cinematography and score.

Nothing exciting, just looking for 'indie'-ish coming of age/romance films like The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Spectacular Now, The Fault in our Stars etc etc.

It's not quite the same tone as Spectacular Now/Wallflower, but if you're looking for romance and Boyhood is getting suggested, then Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight are goddamn essential.

Heathers is the best coming of age movie ever made, also

What are some experimental or semi-experimental feature films that are relatively accessible and recent? Anything from the last five years would be great.

May be stretching relatively on some of these but - It's Such A Beautiful Day, Under the Skin, Upstream Color, Enemy (more beautifully surreal than experimental possibly), and The Congress.

This may have been asked before, but can anyone tell me some good documentaries about grindhouse, exploitation and cult films? Something that covered notable movies, directors or the history of the genres. The only thing I have seen that's comparable is Corman's World. Edit: Oh yeah, I've seen Best Worst Movie as well, which kinda fits the criteria. Several Goblins fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Sep 13, 2015 |

Something that covered notable movies, directors or the history of the genres. The only thing I have seen that's comparable is Corman's World. The recent blu ray release of Luigi Cozzi's Alien Contamination included a nice little doc/critical interview on Italian knock-off cinema called Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery. I'm not sure how you'd track it down legitimately right now outside of getting ahold of the disc.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've been on a kick lately of trying to learn about cinema history and realized I knew very little about the sleazier side of movies. Those first two seem easy to track down. Maybe I can grab a copy of that Cozzi blu-ray at some point too. Thanks again!

Polytechnique is a painful little movie with some weird chronology/rewinding to show different character perspectives, and it really left me understanding why Villeneuve is a good fit for Blade Runner. Though I haven't seen Enemy or Prisoners yet. I'm sure those are more-so.

Thinking about him reminds me of an awesome 80s as gently caress movie, Used Cars. It's an 'R'rated comedy starring Kurt Russell, Jack Warden, Michael McKean, David Lander, Deborah Harmon. Written by Zemeckis and Gale from a story by John Milius, directed by Zemeckis and produced by Spielberg. Like I said, 80s as gently caress. Slightly NSFW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejbC9G_Tpmo Holy poo poo, the full movie is on youtube...

What are some good movies that deal with the darker aspects of sexuality? I've seen the stuff from von Trier (seeing Nymphomaniac prompted this request) and Gaspar Noe, as well as some of the stuff from Cronenberg and Lynch which fits the theme. Seen Last Tango in Paris and Eyes Wide Shut. The Piano Teacher is also a favorite. I've heard decent-to-terrible things about the work of Catherine Breillat, but haven't seen any of it. And that's about it. Is there anything really great I'm missing out on?

Breillat is pretty awful imo but she does definitely hit some of those above notes, Fat Girl is worth a watch and 36 Fillette was interesting enough. Stay far away from Anatomy of Hell though. Happiness isn't strictly sexual but definitely explores dark aspects of sexuality. Bad Timing fits pretty well I reckon. Mysterious Skin is excellent. On Joseph Gordon-Levitt Don Jon isn't great but if you wanted something a bit more light hearted you could do worse, I enjoyed it. Might as well throw out some bigger ones you may well have seen already just in case - Closer, Little Children, Lolita etc PTizzle fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Sep 15, 2015 |
