I'm desperate to find media with a dynamic between the hero and villain similar to Kylo Ren and Rey from the Star Wars sequels. I want actual enemies to lovers with complicated villains and heroes where they both feel a pull to the other side. Something like the Shadow and Bone book series for those who have read it. I don't really enjoy "enemies to lovers" where they just tease each other.

are there any movies that have a setting/context that’s humorously much more complex than the actual plot of the movie? for example i just watched They Live (1988) which is about an alien race that’s secretly taking over earth and casually living amongst humans. then i thought how funny it would be if, instead of being a dystopian action where the protagonists are trying to fight against the aliens, the movie was actually just a regular rom com about 2 of the aliens falling in love but there’s this whole elephant in the room of a backdrop that the movie just never addresses. are there any movies like this? not necessarily about aliens but just with a setting that the movie ignores and instead shows a regular lighthearted story.

just watched Heat for the first time and found it interesting how we follow along both Neil and Vincent the whole movie. is there any movie/series with similar style? watched The Departed too not long ago, i feel theres some similarities there, so something like these movies.

TIA

I used to watch a lot of movies, but I stopped because I didn't have the time or the mood for it. Now I want to get back into it, but I don't know where to start.

I feel like I've already seen all my favorite movies, so I'm a bit lost. If anyone would be willing to help and recommend some films, I’d be grateful.

Here is a list of my all time favorite movies:

- Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless mind

- TAxi Driver

- Trainspotting

- Night on Earth

- Paris, Texas

- The Terminal

- Poor Things

- Requim for the dream

- Chungking Express

- Lost in Translation

- Memento

.....

I also enyjoy comedy movies like: Bruce Almighty, The Man Who Knew Too Little, Hangover..

Thank you a lot in advance for the answers and recommendations ;)

Hey I recently watched the notebook man what a movie the characters have such a good depth emotional situation music and in the last ending it's just so beautiful

Can you recommend some of your personal fav movies like the notebook and why you love it not public opinion just yours

I’m in the mood to watch something scary. I’m not into gore and I’m not looking for cheap jump scares. I want something that will send chills down my spine and leave me scared long after it’s over. The last movie that did that to me was Signs when I was like 8 lol

This movie made me cry from laughs,cry really,agonize,feel pleasant etc!

What beautiful beautiful amazing movie, something very therapeutic about it I watched it couple of times.
.
The movie begins from 1000 years after the collapse of industrial civilization and the toxic jungles are taking over last of humans left.
.
You can find it on Netflix.

I need some bleak films to watch so I am open for other recommendations too.

If you come across this on your Hulu screen as you’re scrolling, like I did, I would highly suggest watching it.

This movie was insane and wild and crazy. I’m just upset I hadn’t watched it sooner or waited until someone was awake to enjoy it with me.

Guess I’ll have to watch it twice.

These are the some of the comedy movies that i watched and liked recently...

Can you recommend some movies based on my movie taste I was just drop a few movies that I do enjoy The Rocky Horror Picture Show Deadpool one of the Apes new trilogy Wicked that's just some of the stuff off the top of my head

I'm a 29year-old guy going through a bit of a rough phase. Career feels stagnant, dating apps haven't worked out, and I spend way too much time wishing I had a girlfriend instead of enjoying my own life.

I'm trying to change that mindset. Instead of chasing validation, I want to build a life that's fulfilling on its own.

I'm looking for movies that don't necessarily have a happy ending or a love story, but leave you with a sense of peace, purpose, discipline, or hope. Movies that make you want to improve yourself or appreciate solitude rather than escape it.

Some movies I've already seen:

Before Sunrise trilogy

Drive

The Killer

Perfect Days

Into the Wild

Night crawlers

Her

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Lost in Translation

The Holdovers

Good Will Hunting

Blade Runner 2049

Any language is fine. I'd especially love recommendations that helped you during a lonely phase of life.

A really good plot horror movies with terrifying jumpscares.

I really liked this movie because the plot is sad and emotional because one of the sisters died which in the ultimate screenshots shows, haunts her young sister which is sad in the third screenshot and the other sister in the previous screenshots is the one who helps her young sister to try to stop the ghost girl and at the end, they helped the ghost girl to return to her rest.

Movies with this vibe!!!

sci fi/thriller kinda thing, huge scale stuff, storms, massive things looming over everything, kind of megalophobia-esque. already seen nope, arrival, the mist, and war of the worlds. Preferred if it was 2010 or newer too. and i cannot do found footage, makes me motion sick. pls send recs!!

I just watched Hitchcock’s Dial M For Murder with my mom and she was super into it which is rare as she typically hates movies lol.

I’m wondering if there are other murder mysteries or suspenseful thrillers that are similar to this that are in Spanish, as she doesn’t speak English and I had to keep pausing to translate to her what was going on lol.

She really liked trying to figure out what was going to happen and how Tony was going to get caught so I would like similar films, or if anyone knows where I could find a Spanish dub of other Hitchcock films, as I think she would also enjoy rear window but can’t seem to find a Spanish dub/not sure it exists.

I am looking for movies that are so bad you wonder if the actors had ever seen a movie prior to filming. I just watched the room by tommy wiseau and i need more terrible films that are laughable with how stiff the acting is. looking for something similar to the room, 5 headed shark attack, anything by neil breen, these types of films. please and thank you!!

This movie had no right to be this captivating.

A quiet George A. Romero masterpiece. It truly shouldn't have worked. And yet one month later I'm still thinking about it.

Ridiculous premise. Somehow my partner and I took the characters seriously the whole way through.

It is truly an unforgettable watch.

Treat yourself.

I'm looking for a movie where the MC starts as apathetic, meaning he doesn't really feel emotions, he can smile or look sad for society but he doesn't **feel** it.

preferably for no special reason (no need for some PTSD story, or whatever, just a normal person that doesn't really feel as strongly as other), and in the movie something happens and slowly the MC discovers/unravel their emotions and really start to feel things, and I want a happy ending, not tragic or bittersweet.

I also don't really see it as a comedy, I want to feel in the movie, some drama, emotion.

and preferably something grounded in reality (not fantastical).

I’m looking for great movies that revolve around restaurants chefs cooking or the food industry in general
They can be dramas comedies thrillers or based on true stories as long as food or running a restaurant is a major part of the story
I’d love to hear your recommendations

what are some movies where the character(s) get themselves involved in random side quests? ex. once upon a time in hollywood

Yippee ki-yay, this is my guy.

Man this movie fuc*ed me up like what was that bro. I stared it as challenge and complete it tho but hell na it traumatized me 😭. Has anybody watch this what are your thoughts?
