Captain Blood would be an excellent choice if you want a swashbuckler.

Looking for similar sorts of low-stakes swashbuckling\romance\adventure movies, closest I can think of would be the first two Pirates of The Caribbean films. Prisoner of Zenda works pretty well. Both the villains kill it, and it ends with a sick rapier duel

Looking for fun uplifting/cathartic anti-colonialist movies in the style of RRR. Doesn't have to be an action movie, but I'm looking for something vibrant and entertaining rather than super serious.

It's not hyperbolic and action-y like RRR, but Bacurau is a really good one that's not super serious or depressing.

Thanks for the recs. I've seen most of them with Bacurau being a notable exception. It looks very cool. I could imagine there being some angles you could find Ghibli's output to be anti colonialist. The negative encroachment of "civilisation" on nature is a pretty common theme in those movies, so colonial parallels could be found.

Jesus Christ Superstar and maybe The Life of Brian, though I don't remember if I've seen all of the latter straight through. I'd like to stretch to make Aguirre, the Wrath of God work, but I'm not sure I can.

Rewatched The Hateful Eight recently and got in the mood to watch some more westerns. I've seen the classics a million times, so any good recommendations for fairly recent releases? Of course I've seen Django Unchained, and loved Buster Scruggs.

Have you seen Unforgiven and The Quick and the Dead yet? The 3:10 to Yuma remake is actually pretty dang fun too. Ben Foster parts his giant beard like the red sea and just starts shoveling scenery into his mouth. edit : how did I read "Fairly recent" and then type poo poo that's almost as old as me. Well, I'm dumb but they're still the best westerns of the last 30 years.

Western talk got me thinking "Why did westerns die again?" Then I remembered Heaven's Gate. I recall a few years ago some people were saying it's actually a good movie and is unfairly maligned, but I don't know if they are just contrarians. Anyone seen it recently?

I watched it for the first time when it hit the criterion channel a month or so back. It was... decidedly okay. The runtime wasn't the part that brought it down for me, mostly I found it oddly paced and edited. I'm not going to say it's deserving of the derision it got upon release, but it's not an unsung classic for me either. YMMV if "good but not great" is enough to pull the trigger on a three hour film. edit: what the poster above me said. it's beautifully shot, but imo the pacing and editing of those shots made it drag a bit for me.

Bone Tomahawk was pretty good although some very violent scenes. I thought they did a good job of blending the western and horror genres.

Quick, I need a movie with a title that ends in "...of the Dead" or "...of the Living Dead" that was made in Central/South America, Australia/Oceania, or Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, etc) and is available free streaming online. Quickly!

Pretty sure I missed a lot of the subtext, but there is enough satire in there that I kept wondering how they managed to get that made in Cuba.

I rewatched Aliens last night and I'm wondering what my other options are in the vein of "action horror sci fi". Off the top of my head I've seen Pitch Black, Pandorum, Screamers, Predator.

If you're not opposed to anime, Akira, Lily CAT, AD Police. With live-action stuff, it really depends on your appetite for schlock, but if you could handle Screamers I think you'd dig Forbidden World. Also Lifeforce might count?
