If Guy Ritchie had just kept making the same movie over and over for his entire career, I'd have been 100% ok with that. What are some good crime caper comedies other than Snatch, Lock Stock, and Rocknrolla?

fat bossy gerbil posted:I watched Blue Ruin and Hell or Highwater recently and both were awesome. I want to watch other stuff like them. Good low budget thrillers please. Neither of those movies were really low budget, but good films like those I've seen recently are Green Room (same director of Blue Ruin), I Don''t Want to Live in the World Anymore (directed by the star of Blue Ruin), Cop Car, and for a very good actually low budget (like $6k) thriller, I thought The Battery was a really fun take on the zombie genre.

On a recommendation from a recent Cum Town episode I saw The Long Good Friday and Day of the Jackal. Both were great, I'm amazed I'd never heard of either one. Any similar movies, which I guess would be 70s/80s European crime thrillers?

I've never seen any of the Roger Moore Bond movies, except for one scene I think from Octopussy where he holds two women underwater in a pool literally just by placing a hand on top of each of their heads. Are any of them better than that or is this kind of nonsense the general vibe of 70s/80s Bond?

What are some movies where there's a faintly alluded to c-plot brewing for most of the runtime that suddenly explodes into view at the film's conclusion? The best example of this I can think of is Gangs of New York where the interpersonal rivalries are suddenly engulfed by this massive anti-draft riot that's been just under the surface until it reaches a boiling point. Joker is very similar in this regard. Once upon a time in Hollywood is another recent example. Many Cohen brothers movies are like this, although it's often several c-plots that are being juggled until they come to a head.

Do any of you see movies of your own creation in your head? Or is it just me that's brain damaged enough to do this? Anyway, just now I was imagining a near-future sci fi movie about a 40-something failed left wing journalist and podcaster who's at the end of his rope. He can't pay rent, but he gets a tip about a cadre of Maoists who have a secret cache of guns and drugs to steal. So he gets a heist together. Except that it's a trap, and the Maoists are cops. It's got a very Children of Men-ish vibe. So, is there anything out there already, uh, like this? Or at least toned down a little to "desperate journalist turns to crime"?

I have a whole zombie action-comedy film in my head starring Woody Harrelson, and a Farrelly Brothers-style comedy about two rival summer camps, one for fat kids and one for little people, and it's a sports competition between them, and the opening scene is a recreation of the opening to Chariots of Fire but, you know, with a fat kid and a midget. Haha I would watch the poo poo out of that summer camp movie. And good news your first one, it's called Zombieland.

Just saw Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon again since the first time it was released in theaters. I think I liked it even more the second time. It feels much more accessible than a lot of asian movies I've seen, which often seems like they rely on some kind of culture context I don't understand. In CT,HD so much of the story is told visually, and it helps that the cinematography is so good. Any other Asian films, preferably historical but with or without the fantasy elements, that are similarly as easy-watching for western audiences?

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. Day of the Jackal inasmuch as con men are spies, I was also really impressed by The Talented Mr. Ripley how was Three Days? Still haven't seen it

Just saw Deep Cover, which I had never heard of before it was recommended in this forum. Massively underrated movie about an undercover cop who becomes a drug dealer, and begins to hint at the geopolitics of the drug trade and the CIA's hand in it. Any other recommendations in this vein, especially that deal explicitly with the CIA and drugs?

I think "Disco" is also poorly defined. I think for a lot of boomers then and even now if they remember it, it meant "libs doing gay stuff and drugs". There's probably people who like songs from that time that might be categorized as "Disco" but still think they hate "Disco"

Looking for more European crime/political thrillers that I haven't seen yet. The Long Good Friday, Day of the Jackal, Z, The Battle of Algiers were all really good. Le Cercle Rouge not bad, did not dig State of Siege or Get Carter as much. What am I missing? Any newer examples of this genre that still have the same "feel" to them?

I rewatched the first ten minutes or so of Enter the Void at 3:30am last night after giving up on trying to sleep. Yes, being a little bit high probably helped, but I really like the movie up to the shooting after which IIRC it gets pretty bad. The hyper-first person perspective complete with hearing thoughts and blinking, and the ensuing visual effects of the drug trip, I thought made for maybe the most effective depiction of the psychedelic experience I've seen on screen. When his phone rings, I could feel the anxiety of having your trip interrupted by what you already know has to be trouble. And of course that makes what happens next all the more jarring. I think the movie could've been actually really good if the beginning had the been the end of the film (with maybe some of the out-of-body stuff at the very end, instead of being the whole movie) and the rest of it had been the story of this guy's life as an expat drug dealer in Tokyo. All of that's to say I'm looking for two suggestions. Movies that are similarly dreamlike yet startlingly realistic like the beginning of Enter the Void. Also a movie about an American expat criminal. I've seen Only God Forgives and it was really disappointing. There was such a singular focus on shocking violence it could've been about anything and anywhere.

Big sci-fi stories made with a very clear creative vision, full of detail, completely unafraid of confusing people, with a message or vibe the creator is desperately trying to get across to the audience. If it's widely hated or dismissed as being confusing or pretentious, that would be ideal. definitely check out Annihilation

Inspired by some podcasts I’ve heard recently about the supernatural and especially Bigfoot, I’m looking for a movie that’s about seeing something unexplainable (especially in the woods) and then the complicated aftermath of talking about this traumatic event and people thinking you’re crazy. The less violence involved the better. I dunno that there is such a movie though - this type of horror movie too often just devolves into a slasher, ala Blair witch

Oh yeah, I forgot about Fire in the Sky. I saw that as a kid. I don't remember it being very good but I enjoyed the abduction sequence. Maybe worth revisting. I haven't seen Mothman, but I was under the impression it was kind of bad? Thanks for the rest of the suggestions too, I'll look em up.
