Right now I'm struggling finding movies in three different areas.

Secondly, your favourite movies with a non-linear plot. Like any Tarantino movies that do it, basically. I also enjoyed Memento. I'm open to any genre, but I prefer crime dramas.

Out of Sight sounds like it would fit pretty well, also The Limey. Many of Steven Soderbergh's movies screw around with the time line actually, but those are both crime dramas too, seconding Following as well.

Can someone suggest some good movies about the Yakuza? I'm thinking the equivalent of The Godfather but something that's just an action flick with Yakuza as characters is cool too.

The Yakuza Papers is a series of five movies that are pretty much exactly like a Japanese Godfather the first one is called Battles Without Honor and Humanity

Edit: That's what I get for staring at the submit screen for too long.

I just recently started film school, and really want to do noir-esque films. I've seen the majority of the classics (Touch of Evil, Maltese Falcon, Notorious, etc.), now I'm looking for more neo-noir movies from the last ten years or so. I loved Brick, especially the dialogue, and am wondering what other movies have a similar feel.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Out of Sight, which were just mentioned, have a good neo-noir feel, but are also really funny. For something more serious, I really like Gone Baby Gone, and I don't see it mentioned very often around here. A little bit older (Mid nineties) is L.A. Confidential.

The Hobo with a Shotgun thread made me watch Treevenge (It's a sixteen-minute short that everyone needs to see, it's free on youtube) which reminded me of Blood Car. Are there any movies like Blood Car, the closest parallels I can think of are the first Evil Dead and early Peter Jackson, but I'm looking for more modern ultra-low budget movies, things from the past 5 years or so.

Any recommendations for good romance movies that subvert the typical "Hollywood" love story?

I'm going to second All the Real Girls also, if you can stand ultra lowbudget movies with improvised dialog, a lot of mumblecore films would probably scratch this itch. LOL (the one from 2006), Funny Ha Ha, and Kissing on the Mouth are the ones that immediately come to mind. Also NeuroticErotica's favorite [b]Medicine for Melancholy[b], which often gets lumped into the mumblecore category for some reason, is a pretty good romantic film that doesn't really follow hollywood convention.

I love cheeky, romanticized plots about thieves and robbers. "Heist", "The Italian Job" (both the original and the remake), the "Ocean's" movies, "The Thomas Crown Affair" and "After the Sunset" are some of my favorite movies, among a few others.

I'd love a list of similar movies involving likeable criminals in plots about stealing stuff and getting away with it

The Sting is what immediately comes to mind. Jean-Pierre Melville directed a bunch of French films with likeable criminals, though they often don't get away at the end.

I'm looking for movies featuring inner city street gangs and crime. I have recently watched Training Day, Brooklyn's Finest, and City of God. The first two were entertaining but somewhat comic-booky, and the latter was more straightlaced but I missed the American cities.

I have no problem watching more foreign films like City of God, but I'm way more fascinated by the "warzone in the first world" concept.

I second The Wire, it starts a little slow but is seriously some of the greatest television ever made. The Shield is pretty good, but would probably fall more into the comic-booky category, and it's mostly from the cops perspective. Movie wise the only thing I can think of that wasn't mentioned was Clockers, which is pretty good except for some ham-fisted stuff about video game violence that's sort of shoved in.

I've enjoyed The Usual Suspects, Hannibal, Lord of War, Casino Jack and Up in the Air for their unapologetic individualism, at least on the surface level in the first few acts. What other movies are there that give the same impression on the first view?

Roger Dodger has a good individualism vibe, vaguely reminiscent of Up in the Air (I might be making that up, it's been about eight years since I've seen the former, and I haven't seen the later since it was in theaters)

Way of the Gun was directed by the guy who wrote The Usual Suspects, and it has a sort of individualism vibe going, except it's two guys.

The Grifters is the pinnacle of neo-noir IMO.

That movie bugs the hell out of me, in a good way. Whenever I think about I get stuck on it for a couple of days.

DeathSandwich posted:

So, I've been on a kick here recently for some good, hopefully more modern Noir movies.

Probably the most famous neo-noir is Chinatown. More recently is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Brick. Another one that falls through the cracks a lot is Running Scared (yes, the one with Paul Walker). None of those are hyper-stylized like Sin City, but they are all great.

I have my own request, and it's a little odd. I'm visiting my family in Seattle next week, and since Seattle is home to the greatest video store in the country, I always try and see a couple things I can't get from Netflix. So what are the best movies that are out of print. If it was ever commercially sold in America, they probably have it. They have a ton of import only stuff as well, but I won't have access to a region free player while I'm there.

Automatic Jack posted:

This is what I get for watching the movie so late after everyone else... Oh well. Here's a hard one: How about reccing me some surreal, unclassifiable cult gems in which the premise/setting seems normal enough until you realize how off-kilter the tone is. For example:

Kiss Me Deadly: Starts out as standard 50's noir until you realize there's something weird about even the background characters, and involves one of the most terrifying and mysterious Macguffins I've ever seen.
Motorama: A kid goes on a road trip in the hopes of winning a million dollars in a game sponsored by the Chimera gas station company. It sounds like a Disney film, and it's anything but. For one thing, everyone acts as though he's an adult, for no reason. Maybe it's his foul-mouthed language.
Repo Man: Punky Emilio Estevez learns how intense a life of repossessing cars can be! Also there's something about a radioactive 1964 Chevrolet Malibu that may or may not have dead aliens in the trunk.
Miracle Mile: I watched this knowing nothing about it except it supposedly had to do with nuclear holocaust. I was expecting The Road. I got something infinitely more colorful and bizarre.
Vampire's Kiss: Nicolas Cage's American Psycho in probably one of the most aggressively strange roles of his career: A yuppie who works in publishing slowly starts to believe he's turning into a vampire.

Probably some of the Coen bros. films like Barton Fink (guy tries to write a screeplay!) or The Hudsucker Proxy (small town buffoon climbs corporate ladder, possibly at expense of his soul!) would borderline fit what I'm going for. It goes without saying that I'm a pretty big David Lynch fan, as well. Basically, films that could very well be normal if they weren't so intent on being deranged; you can sum up the plot in a couple of sentences, but the byline will never do its weirdness justice. Out-and-out weird/arthouse flicks like Dogtooth need not apply.

Sadly I have nothing to offer re: French films, but I am watching Le Samourai at the moment and it's pretty good so far... But it doesn't really sound like the other films mentioned.

Race with the Devil which I found out about from this forum, seems like it'd fit. From Dusk 'til Dawn takes a pretty sharp turn at the 45 minute mark, but I think almost everyone knows about the "twist."

There is a very particular kind of movie I often enjoy. So particular that at this point, I know of two examples: Casshern, and Goemon. It's that bizarre over the top fantastic kung fu type slop, with lots of action, typical kung fu movie acting, and lots of pretty colors and eye candy with big shots and shiny colors. I'm not sure what it is about those kinds of movies, but they push a button that is wired directly to the pleasure center of my brain.

Ridiculousness of these movies aside, any similar titles you folks know of?

While not as colorful, Versus might scratch that itch, lots of over the top kung-fu.

I haven't seen the entire thing, but what I saw of A Village Called Versaille was really good. It's about the Vietnamese section of New Orleans and their attempts to keep a new landfill from being put in their neighborhood in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina because of all the toxic poo poo that would end up in their ground water. They succeed. I never know about spoiling documentaries, but if you want to be surprised by whether or not they are successful I threw up the black bar.

I'd love to see if anyone has recommendations for good films with at least a semi Mythological element. I've seen Beowulf, Clash of the Titans (old and new), Hercules (both the made for TV movie and the Disney one), Mighty Aphrodite and Troy. I'd prefer things that are post 1980 but I'm not majorly fussed.

If you dug the old Clash of the Titans then Jason and the Argonauts would be right up your alley, same Harryhausen stop motion, but I seem to remember it being a better all around movie. Depending on what you mean by semi-mythological Oh Brother Where Art Thou borrows heavily from The Odyssey. And if you can deal with the enormous amounts of cheesiness both Hercules (the tv show with Kevin Sorbo) and Xena are on instant watch on Netflix.

Movies based on plays or by playwrights would mostly fit this. Most anything by David Mamet but especially Glengarry Glenn Ross and Oleanna. Whose afraid of Virginia Wolfe would also fit. These are all fairly mean movies, as a word of warning.

I'm wondering if anyone could recommend some modern Swedish thrillers or horror films.

I just saw the new The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and really enjoyed it, and it reminded me how much I like the feel of dark, brooding films set in and/or from Sweden. I like the snow, the cold, the isolation -- it's a great aesthetic. Let the Right One In is another film that really nails this (and Let Me In to a lesser extent). I ask for more modern ones just so I don't get recommended Bergman or similar; he's one of my favorite directors but it's not what I'm looking for. That said, films from any era and any country could work, it just seems like Sweden is the epicenter for that kind of thing.

Basically I'm looking for dark, cold, snowy, atmospheric thrillers.

There's the Wallander BBC series, it's in English but set in Sweden. It's based on a a series of Swedish crime novels. I haven't actually seen it, but I've heard good things about it and it stars Kenneth Branagh, who I like.
