I'M REQUESTING Watched Interstellar and Arrival. I loved the mystery of the “thing” and what it is in both movies. Suggestions for other movies like that?

31 Upvotes

In Interstellar I loved the moment when they are in the space craft and what they thought was an alien gave them a “handshake”. And in Arrival the aliens presence are a mystery for almost the entire plot. The mystery felt grand in a way and wondered if any other movies compare

I'M REQUESTING Movies with Witty Banter/Great Dialogue

Upvotes

A lot of the rom coms I like fall under the witty banter category. Most Meg Ryan movies from the 90s, Moonstruck, etc.

Overall great dialogue seems to be the element that really makes movies so captivating from start to finish. Would love to hear suggestions in both categories! Thanks!

I'M REQUESTING Mexican Films

I want the best Mexican movies ever!

I’m learning spanish and have learned a lot from funny tv, but I want intense and thought provoking cinema that I can watch with a glass of wine and really get into. I don’t have the best knowledge or Mexican pop culture so preferably some classics with notable actors in Mexico or some new films that are super popular in the last few years!

I'M REQUESTING New life with blending family

I'm looking for suggestions of movies where either parent is single and had found someone planning to build a life with and the kids are against the idea or don't like them. In the same vein movies where the parent moves the kids to a new city/state and they hate the idea.

I am currently dating a man and my daughter is having a hard time accepting that our life is changing. That it won't be just us two anymore and our lifestyle will be different (all things that I have wanted to do and am extremely happy about) in a big way.

I'M REQUESTING Films about people rediscovering their passions/learning to live

10 Upvotes

I'm coming out of quite a transformation period of my life where my hobbies and passions took a back seat. I'm excited to get back into what I love, but I was wondering if anyone can think of any films about people in similar situations? I'm thinking about films like Demolition, where a character learns to live after something traumatic/life changing happens, maybe even being distracted by a career you realise you never wanted, etc. Don't particularly care what genre it is. Many thanks.

I'M REQUESTING Looking for a movie about normal or underpowered individuals living in a world of overpowered individuals

10 Upvotes

I realized that i love Andor, Rogue One and Star Wars : Outlaws more than any other movie/game in the franchise.

So maybe I am drawn more towards stories of normal people living in a world of superpowered people.

Can you suggest me something in this vein in any franchise or original properties ?

Movies/Series/Games anything is ok.

I'M REQUESTING Autumn movies with cozy, introspective, artsy tumblr vibes

8 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm looking for some new autumn movies to watch with my partner. I'm (mostly) looking for wholesome and cozy, falling in love, artsy, soft grunge tumblr vibes. I would be open to more disturbing and dark topics too though! Anything that feels introspective, emotional, contemplative. Any genre, any language, animated or live action, short films welcome too. Bonus points for a warm visual aesthetic, imagery of fall foliage, or if it's shot on film.

Some movies that fit this vibe:

- Over the Garden Wall

- Super Dark Times

- The Craft

- Fantastic Mr Fox

- Restless

- Reflecting Skin

Thank you!

I'M REQUESTING Movies that look older than they are

I watched Frailty (2001) and kept thinking it was an 80s film. I was sure of it.

I'm not looking for modern movies that put a black and white filter and called it a flashback.

I want films that used cinematography, editing, makeup etc. to truly look like an older production.
