Not sure where else to ask, but I was going to try and make it to a few screenings at the local theater's Noir fest. Any movie in particular stand out to any genre die-hards that might be in the thread? I've seen Thief, Among the Living and All the King's Men. Thief FLESH AND BONE AMONG THE LIVING STREET OF CHANCE DR. BROADWAY SMOOTH AS SILK SO DARK THE NIGHT THE ARGYLE SECRETS FLESH AND FANTASY + DESTINY NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES SORRY, WRONG NUMBER SOUTHSIDE 1-1000 THE SNIPER THE FACE BEHIND THE MASK ALL THE KING'S MEN SCANDAL SHEET DETECTIVE STORY 711 OCEAN DRIVE PLAYGIRL THE CRUEL TOWER (sorry for the formatting)

It’s a yearly thing, they’re mostly going for deeper cuts

I just re-watched Clean, Shaven for the first time in a couple of years and forgot how great it was. One of the things I really like is how it really focuses on sound and sound design to bring you deeper into its world. Does anyone have any other recommendations for movies where sound/sound design is used like this? Off the top of my head I can name Berberian Sound Studio and Sound of Metal, I'm optimistic about Flux Gourmet as well but I don't think that's out yet. David Lynch's stuff counts too, of course. Any other suggestions?

Elephant Man has incredible sound design. Eraserhead too. It's kind of Lynch's thing but those two in particular stand out. E: oh, you mentioned Lynch.

Stumbled on the Vinegar Syndrome release of The Scary of Sixty First and started looking up some other stuff they released and was reminded that I must not know as much about weird horror/absurd flicks as I thought. Recommend me something trashy, gory or weird for a themed movie playlist I'm putting together. So far I've got : Assholes Gummo Raw Nerve The Little Hours An Evening with Beverly Luff Lin

I'm looking for movies like the Green Mile, where characters try to explore/figure out a spiritual phenomena or miracles. I don't want horror movies or movies where people are ghost-hunting, but rather more thoughtful movies. It doesn't have to be explicitly supernatural either: a character hunting for a miracle or phenomena and not finding it is also fine. Documentaries are welcome too as well as normal movies.

Flatliners might qualify. It’s sold as a horror movie but isn’t quite, or at least fails to be

Looking for Tim Curry content, movies or TV. I've seen Clue, Rocky Horror, Muppet Treasure Island, The Shadow etc, and looking for more than a cameo. I've seen Legend and It, but I'm thinking more for his humor and charm, but either way works. As much Curry as possible, high quality, Curry scenery eating etc.

Stalker and Solaris are both films by Tarkovsky that fit this description but I personally thought stalker was really hard to follow. Interstellar? The Abyss The Fountain

I want something dramatic, fun, or both in the sword-and-sandal genre, whether placed in a historical or mythological setting.

It's kind of awful but he's fantastic.

Lesser known and/or obscure pro wrestling (not olympic/greco roman) docs? I've seen all the big ones and the official WWE ones. Anything from WWE to tiny indie circuits, any country/culture, feel free to include lucha libre or hardcore/deathmatch or even dudes in their backyard if its an interesting doc

I've just got back from seeing Beast and while it had it's problems I'd like to see some more recent-ish films set in the bush/game reserves. They don't necessarily need to be survival movies like Beast. Also with Halloween coming up, I know it's a taboo phrase but I'm looking for some good horror movies which aren't "elevated horror", so more focus on scares and atmosphere than subtext. I've probably seen most of the obvious English language ones, I enjoyed Hell House LLC, Grave Encounters, Session 9 and As Above So Below (I'm noticing now that these are all found footage, but they don't have to be)
