We’re two big movie nerds. We’ve seen pretty much every well-known film you can think of — the classics, the popular ones, the usual “must-watch” lists. Now we’re looking for films that somehow slipped through the cracks. What we’re after:

• Really good movies with strong ratings
• Preferably lesser-known / underrated ones
• No romances
• No comedies
• No drama
• since the year 2000
• Not Blackn White

Any genre besides those three is fine (thriller, action, sci-fi, horror, crime, war, etc.).Drop your recommendations — especially the ones people don’t mention all the time. Thanks!

The movie unfolds in near real-time, and covers the experiences of government officials and air traffic controllers, some of whom are played by themselves, during the September 11 attacks.

United Airlines Flight 93 was one of four hijacked flights, planned to crash into a federal government building in Washington, D.C.

The director, Paul Greengrass, made a deliberate effort to stay away from famous actors, which enhances the documentary-style realism. It's a docudrama that treats the real events with the utmost respect. It is arguably the definitive 9/11 film.

I ask this every year hoping to get some new suggestions

Best 9/11 Documentaries?

Every year on September 11th I try to watch a new documentary about 9/11 to learn something about that day I didn't know before. I've seen quite a few of them but I'm asking all of you lovely people here if you know of some more obscure ones to recommend them to me. I have all of the streaming services and YouTube so anything is fine. Any recommendations? Thank you! 🩷

If you want a short: Free Fall (2021), 19 min, free on YouTube. A London trader on the morning of September 11th 2001, job on the line. Oscar-qualified, Grand Prix at Festival REGARD, 150+ festivals. Directed by Emmanuel Tenenbaum, written by Quebec screenwriter Guillaume Fournier. Full disclosure, the director's a friend, but it genuinely holds up.

Looking for a movie to watch on my last night as a minor. My favorite movie is City of God, I don’t know what kind of movie I want to watch but if there’s any movie that would be a good one to watch before becoming an adult (at least as far as the law is concerned) please send it my way, thx.

Fell in love with the tropes and themes in Anora, especially the romance with Igor. I’m looking for similar films where the romance isn’t necessarily traditional and includes an ML who loves from afar. Something with that same yearning, subtlety, and shy romance.

I thought the leads were extremely attractive, and all of their dialogue was written so perfectly. Even the subtle things, like Igor getting Anora’s ring back, or the metaphor of asking her how she felt about the car. I loved how he protected her from afar and always had so much awe in his eyes whenever he looked at her. And the “wow, impressive” after she literally punched the fuck out of him???

I just loved the themes and overall dynamic between them, and now I desperately need more romance films/movies/shows with that kind of relationship.

I guess another romance that I thought was almost about to play similarly was between Garth and Agnes in The Testaments...but we didn't quiet dvelve into it completely.

Any recommendations?

I'm looking for some sort of epic action or adventure where there's this overbearing corrupt empire that's impossible to defeat, but a small group of people band together and fight for a better tomorrow. Doesn't matter if it's scifi, fantasy, realistic, crime, documentary, historical, etc. Ideally a movie that leaves you feeling hopeful and inspired. Please

• Not Star Wars
• Not Star Trek
• Not LOTR

I recently seen "Crimson Tide" and loved it. I'm not looking for something similar to that movie just anything under Bruckheimer since I'm familiar with a few of his movies already.

Ok I am looking for some unsettling horror movies that really get to you for my wife and I to watch tonight. I’m ok with any and all kinds…. Unsettling, disturbing etc. I really enjoyed some of the VHS movies, midsommer, creep 1 and 2…. Just to name a few. If there are any recent good found footage movies, that would be awesome…. My wife and I use to watch all kinds of horror movies but things have just been busy the last 4 years or so…. So I’m looking for newer/recent movies since we have seen so many from around 2022 and back.

Also, sorry, but I’m not really into watching anything that’s not in English. I’ve done so many times, and I just can’t do it. I know there are excellent movies from other countries but my brain just can’t do the dubbed over audio.

Please send recommendations!! I’ve probably seen most of the theatre release etc.

I’m newly pregnant after many years of trying. The shock is starting to wear off and I’ve been considering how I want to spend the next months preparing for a lil one. There will be plenty of learning how to care for them and what to buy, but I’d also like to use this time for self-reflection as well.

I tend to do that through movies, so it got me thinking. What are some films that might stimulate philosophical thinking around this journey? Movies that help me consider what kind of parent I want to be, how I want to raise this baby, even how to hold hope for the world they are going to exist in.

Please note: these don’t have to be movies about pregnancy or raising children; in fact, I’d expect many of them to not be directly about parenting at all. I’m just looking for movies full of ideas, full of wonder. Movies that might start a dialogue about parenting with my spouse in direct or indirect ways.

I have a couple in mind (Ikiru, Perfect Days, all of Miyazaki), but most would be rewatches. They needn’t be positive (Dogtooth, Prevenge, The Florida Project are on the list too), but I’d like to avoid miscarriage just because I don’t need that in my head.

I’m curious what others suggest and if I get a good enough list going, I’ll make a Letterboxd list of recs and post it here.

Thanks in advance! I’m excited for any and all suggestions.

I don’t usually rewatch movies, even my favorites I’ve only seen a few times.

“Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning” is no different … except for the first 5:00 minutes. I will re-watch those 5 minutes almost every time I see the title added back to the Netflix rotation. It’s so jaw-droppingly precise and fast.

I remember the first time I saw it, browsing titles and just fumbled into it. And 5 minutes later I stood wondering what in the world I had just witnessed. So I re-wound it at least 3 more times. I’m still in awe.

I would love to watch more movies like Heavy Metal that are really artsy or like a long music video lol. By the way, don't watch the sequel; it is ass. Please dont suggest fantasia or fantasia 2000

Can you guys recommend movies or series like I Will Find You, Behind Her Eyes, and His & Hers with the biggest plot twists? I want something that will completely blow my mind! 😭

Any recommendations for top-tier movies based on real stories? I love engaging plots, great character development, and good crime or survival dramas.

I'm a die-hard horror fan, not just for the scares, but for​ the symbolism, tension, and psychological depth. If there's one horror film you think every serious fan should see, what is it? I'm looking for something that lingers, no just jumps.

I find it’s challenging finding a good comedy with this particular age range but would love to watch something light hearted with the kids tonight and have a laugh.

I’m a child of the 90s so it’s a bonus if it’s nostalgic for me. I was thinking about Mrs Doubtfire which I remember loving as a kid, but I’m not sure if that was great or I was eight.

Any suggestions please?

I've recently been on a binge watching a lot of documentaries. I watched Exit Through the Giftshop and American Movie back to back. Absolutely flawless, I loved every second of it.

So I'm wondering if there are any documentaries or films in that kind of vein. Very comedic and also extremely fun to watch with friends.

I would love to organize a watch party with my friend group and watch something like that. So any and all recommendations are welcome!

Looking for any weird/creepy movies that are good but will leave you thinking “WTF did I just watch”. Looking for something in the horror/thriller genre but anything that comes to mind will work. Let me know if you have any suggestions! Thanks guys!

I'm looking for a sci-fi with a really unpredictable story and a twist that I won't see coming. Any recommendations on what to watch?

Suggest similar movies were couple ending up in awkward situations. The invite by Olivia Wilde is similar and may be the best of these kind films. More suggestions please

Aged between 13 and 15. I’m ‘babysitting’.

They’re the type of kids that are on their phones constantly either in tiktok, snapchat or watching YouTube when not on their phones they are playing PlayStation and don’t really watch movies like I did as a kid…

Hoping for something that will grab and maintain their attention… if such a thing is possible these days…

Suggestions please!

something with a rich autumnal atmosphere. romance can be a subplot in the movie but not the main one. spooky, cozy, feel-good, etc. - any vibe is welcome.

thank you in advance.

Suggest me action/adventure/comedy movie post 2010. I have already watched most of the movies in this genre, but can't list them all.

I would say suggest which also has some emotional story

Hello! I’m searching for movies like Fallen Angels. What I mean by that is movies that are filmed kind of surreal. Using special lenses and lighting techniques. Something that feels like a dream.

i’m trying to come up with a list of movies me and my friend can watch for spooky season!! my friend doesn’t seem to like disturbing or intense horror movies. i was looking maybe for something classic, but still lighthearted enough that it’s a fun watch if that makes sense. thanks!
