I think The Taking Of Deborah Logan centers around that?

Two great docs, not entirely what you're looking for but worth a look: Allan King's Dying at Grace and Frederick Wiseman's Near Death.

Coaaab posted:Alright, gaspar noe's vortex bowled me the gently caress over, so now I want recommendations for films/documentaries about an elderly parent/relative's deterioration like from Alzheimer's, dementia, stroke, etc. I've seen Away From Her and The Father, and both are really excellent. You could also watch all six seasons of This Is Us!

Just rewatched Hunt for Red October and I'd like recommendations for anything in the same sort of "character actors arguing with/out thinking each other" vein.

Like, where they each have a valid point? Crimson Tide The Sunset Limited 12 Angry Men (has the debating / arguing, less so the equally valid positions) (and go for the 1957 version) Tape

I haven't seen 12 Angry Men in a couple of decades but it's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. I'll check out the other stuff too, cheers.

A Time to Kill, Primal Fear, A Few Good Men, that type of thing? There's some solid work in Michael Mann's ouvre too - The Insider is mostly Russell Crowe and Al Pacino talking and it's riveting I see you put 12 Angry Men on the list, it's a nice double bill with Lumet's other classic Network.

Cheers, I've never actually seen A Few Good Men and I think I'm overdue a rewatch on the others. I can also highly recommend the 1997 remake of 12 Angry Men, which I only learned about while looking for a copy of the original. Incredible cast, the original writer and Willam Friedkin directing. I still prefer the original but Jack Lemmon and George C Scott are incredible in it.

Jack Lemmon rules. Which reminds me of another reccomendation - the profane and moody Glengarry Glen Ross, assuming you can stand the sight of Kevin Spacey

Just saw The Handmaiden. Looking for more movies that have that kind of tense emotional relationships, crossing and doublecrossing. Friend already recommended The Favorite so I put that on the list.

Friend already recommended The Favorite so I put that on the list. It’s so good. (I was referring to the Handmaiden but The Favourite is great too). Miller’s Crossing. On a lighter note, another Coen Bros, Intolerable Cruelty. Oh, Michael Clayton. To some degree Nightcrawler. therattle fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Jul 6, 2022 |

If you're interested in more recent Russian output, then Andrey Zvyagintsev's films Loveless (from 2017) and Leviathan (from 2014) are both very good social dramas that take on the pre-war Putin era

I think a similar question was asked itt but I cant remember. I'm looking for some movies/docs about people who are the BEST at what they do. Like just top level professionals. Some examples of what I liked that fit: For All Mankind/Apollo 13/First Man I love the professionalism and expertise. Heat is another great example. Bank robbers at the absolute top tier. The subject interests me less as much as "these people are the BEST at what they do"

Kvlt! posted:I think a similar question was asked itt but I cant remember. You Were Never Really Here Phantom Thread Tampopo Moneyball I guess? The bank robbers in Spike Lee's Inside Man (although it's from the POV of the cops) Atomic Blonde On the documentary front, there's: Jiro Dreams of Sushi (sushi chef) Pina (modern dance choreography) Senna (Formula One) Maradona (football/soccer, same director as Senna), though I haven't seen it but I'd assume Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off (skateboarding), again, haven't seen but I think it must be Kiss the Water (fly fishing flies. seriously, as weird as it might sound, this and Jiro are probably the closest to what you're asking that I'm gonna list, it's about someone who took a craft and elevated it into an artform) Finding Vivian Maier (photography)

Kind of a left field rec along those lines, the documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop. 2/3 of the way through, you'll be thinking that I completely misunderstood what you were looking for. Keep watching. E: while it's not necessary, it is probably helpful to have a passing knowledge of who Banksy is. If you don't, just know that he's a secretive, anonymous street artist who has basically managed to somewhat breakthrough to the larger art world in general due to his talent, vision, and subversive approach to art. Don't read anything else about him or that documentary, just watch it. regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 05:45 on Jul 13, 2022 |

Agreed which makes it all the more surprising that it didn't win the Oscar. It's a true work of art in and of itself, which is exceedingly rare for the documentary genre.
