Gimme some samurai films. I've seen the Kurosawas and half-watched Harakiri one time. I've got basically all streaming including Criterion Channel and I'd spend on a rental if it's worth it

For All Mankind is worth tracking down but I'm not sure how redundant it is with the Apollo 11 doc, haven't seen it yet. If you've got Kanopy you might like stuff by Frederick Wiseman like Ex Libris and National Gallery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoE1NA_zi1M

regulargonzalez posted:Thanks. Looks like I'll have to rent unless I sign up for Kanopy. Anyone know anything about that service? Worth subbing to? On the plus side, Kanopy is free with many public library memberships. On the down side, you can't subscribe otherwise.

ephori posted:I'm looking for movies where dudes really beat the hell out of each other, but I would like 'real' movies, not straight action movies. Something where the fights are brutal but also....meaningful? It's only a couple minutes but I always enjoyed James Caan and Kathy Bates kicking the poo poo out of each other at the end of Misery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQrVol9WDW4 This one's TV, but Dan Dority vs. The Captain in Deadwood also comes to mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em7I41ew8C8

It's a pretty big cheat, since it's an MMA movie, but Warrior has a lot of brutal but also really emotional and character-driven fight scenes. I'd link the final fight but I think it plays x10000 times better in context

The Fountain is pretty unique, I don't know if you're going to find that mix of raw emotion and weird gigantic psychedelia. But something like Reds is another romance that has a bunch of other poo poo going on

Maybe give Days of Heaven a whirl. Once Upon A Time In The West too if you're looking for something with a little more action peppered in.

Yeah, Conan would be a good watch. You might also enjoy Excalibur, though it's…a lot. Same with Legend, though I'm not sure either of those are quite as bleak as what you're looking for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZc0ED-GULk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=als5pGB3Tfg Edit: maybe Valhalla Rising? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQgoGccHJD4 morestuff fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Jan 31, 2021 |

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:Anybody got recommendations for movies similar to The Insider or Michael Clayton? Movies that mine real suspense and excitement out of people having conversations in offices without a whole lot of traditional “action”. I’ve seen most of Pakula’s major films. Spotlight is good if you haven't seen it.

feedmyleg posted:Is there anything else like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy out there? Just incredibly tense and tightly wound spy narratives? I know there's been a decent amount of Le Carre adaptations over the past few years, but I haven't tracked if any of them are as pitch-perfect as TTSS. I've seen the Alec Guinness BBC adaptations and while they're highly pleasant, they're not the same in terms of edge-of-your-seat tension. I could also be open to non-spy narratives that have the same vibe—maybe political thrillers? I'd say The Conversation would maybe scratch the same itch. Maybe give Munich a shot if you haven't. Marathon Man is sort of spy-adjacent, too. Three Days is great but in my memory kind of shaggier than what you're looking for
