The Palindromists, about a handful of people who make up palindromes for a hobby realizing that each other exist, then getting flown halfway around the world to have the world's first palindrome contest live in front of an audience. It's very cute.

Pumping Iron, no joke. Even starting out knowing nothing about bodybuilding, by the end of it the movie has taught you enough about that you can really appreciate just how good Arnie was, and you wonder why the others even tried.

I don't think it cheapens it. Mind games are part of every competition.

Been enjoying tons of great recs but holy poo poo you guys were not kidding about Pumping Iron. I had next to zero interest in bodybuilding before watching and it was utterly fascinating. Arnold really is completely dominant and just absolutely mean sometimes. Made me feel bad for Lou but Arnold is also strangely charming in the movie. Great documentary!

I'm looking for globe-trotting adventure or spy movies. Ideally it's the kind that's largely an excuse for there to be a bunch of glamorous and exotic locations to have a fight, chase, or stunt in, and is at least somewhat possible to take seriously. But not James Bond.

But not James Bond. Also I know you said somewhat possible to take seriously, but I'm gonna throw out the Get Smart remake with Steve Carrell. It's a comedy, but I remember it being exciting and just a ton of fun. I never had seen the Fast and Furious movies until recently when I marathoned them with some friends and was surprised at how fun they were. Basically the definition of "glamorous, exotic locations with fights, chases and stunts", especially as the series ramps up the craziness and insanity. I'd read some plot summaries of the first two if you want to skip the ones set only in California, but by 4 and 5 they're definitely in the "glamorous, crazy stunts around the world" genre and it ramps up the craziness and fun as they go on (and the ridiculousness). Tokyo Drift is a great movie but it's kinda it's own thing, not really connected to the others except for a cameo and some ret-conning in later movies. It's probably the BEST of the series, but it's not a traditional F and F movie. I was a huge hater of the series until I actually sat down and watched them.

I hadn't seen many Bollywood movies or taken any seriously but then I saw RRR and it was incredible. Any suggestions for great Bollywood movies, can be totally over the top like RRR or "good".

Sarpatta Parambarai is a recent Tamil film I quite liked and it's on Prime in 4k. KGF Chapters 1 and 2 are definitely over the top and macho but I enjoyed them. For actual Bollywood there's always the American just getting into Bollywood starter pack of SRK movies. Stuff like Dil Se.., Om Shanti Om, Main Hoon Na are all great. Criterion Channel had some Mani Kaul films but they just left, so not as easily streamed unless you have Mubi, but Duvidha rules.

Weird, trippy low-budget sci-fi? Lesser-known, below even Zardoz and Conquest. Like, bottom-of-the-barrel stuff but with big visual and/or philosophical ambition. Just watched the 1983 Hercules with its crazy weirdo sci-fi tone and I don't care how bad it is I adore it swinging for the fences.

Krull (1983) - for visuals, not philosophical ambition, though may not be bottom-of-the-barrel enough for you Looker (1981) - Michael Crichton thriller - my avatar photo comes from this Endangered Species (1982) - Robert Ulrich investigates cattle mutilations Hardware (1990) - Scavenger brings home killer robot parts for his artist girlfriend to use.

These are probably too high-profile, but if you haven't seen them, then The Andromeda Strain (1971) and Phase IV (1974) might be worth checking out, particularly the latter.

Just watched the 1983 Hercules with its crazy weirdo sci-fi tone and I don't care how bad it is I adore it swinging for the fences. Leaning more in the Hercules direction of funny yet entertaining good cheese: Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter The Sword and the Sorcerer DeathStalker II (this is more for the funny B-movie appeal, but it's a keeper.) Also for an offshoot from fantasy, I recall those Hercules movies have Serena Grandi etc. Most of the Italian wild movies I dig are horror movies. Delirium is a B-movie gem, and Demons if you haven't seen it. Demons is freewheeling and adventure-y to have cross genre appeal I think. Both by Lamberto Bava. For just low budget sci-fi that rocks: Trancers, Repo Man (any excuse to recommend it), Space Adventure Cobra (probably not low budget), G.I. Samurai, Death Race 2000, Cherry 2000, Arcadia of My Youth (just underseen) Also just because it's interesting to note, Hercules (1983) has a respectable budget. Or at least not low budget for the time I guess. Same budget as The Terminator, high for Italy at the time I think. Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Jul 23, 2022 |

I'm watching Baahubali right now and I just want to say these movies are teaching me the most important lesson I've ever learned or needed to learn. And that is that dudes rock. Dudes absolutely rock. I don't think I can go back to movies where dudes don't rock. I won't go back to movies where dudes don't rock.

Looking for movies about military/law enforcement black ops: specifically military and or law enforcement operating in countries they're not supposed to be in/not allowed in. Some examples of what I've seen: Sicario The Kingdom Zero Dark Thirty Narcos (I'm looking for movies, not TV, but it's a good example) A lot of this genre is centered on the US, which im fine with feel free to rec those, but also feel free to rec movies that have nothing to do with the US as well. Any time period/conflict. Thanks!

I was thinking the other day about role models in media, and it got me wondering if anybody can point me to good romances (comic, dramatic, period, genre, whatever, as long as it is mainly a love story) in which one or both of the leads is notably a good person. Like, not merely that they are admirable, but that the film considers their morals important.
