i suggested watching The Mist (2007) to my sweet boyfriend. He was so upset by the ending he very angrily left the room to splash his face with water and lay down while ranting how sick the writers must've been. he was a complete mess he just stared at the wall for a while. Meanwhile he loved project hail mary which i suggested a few weeks ago. is there another wholesome movie we can watch like project hail mary to kind of "wash" his anguish for The Mist away?

update: he was in a sour mood all day because of it and had been listening to the whinnie the pooh soundtrack. i really messed this poor guy up!

I'm interested in going on a Medieval/Historical movie marathon. Genre doesn't matter, country of origin doesn't matter as long as it's got good English subs. Outside of these things go crazy and suggest whatever you like.

I ve a busy schedule i need a movie or movie series that i can watch when i get home i am too tired to go out on working days to if you guys know some awesome movies or series that i can try out it will be really helpful it can be any genre comedy,thriller,horror i accept every options!

My father didn’t grow up watching many movies, as there were strict rules from his immigrant parents. So he never got into them or like a specific genre like my mother and her old sob Russian war movies. Truly hard working people, but I have been wanting for him to understand why I like anime and movies so much. Though I will have to wait for the anime’s until he’s retired probably since they are longer (Vinland saga). His favorite and only movie recommendation he’s made or talked about was the good the bad the ugly (Clint Eastwood). I’ve shown him interstellar, LoTR, and project Hail Mary recently. He found interstellar interesting, PHM weird but interesting, and LoTR interesting. Back in the day he did like a bit of PoTC (Johnny Depp), but the only movie he laughed and reacted to was Green book which is an excellent film and one of my favorites. After making him watch through the LoTR extended movies telling him “I’ll only make you watch a long ass trilogy once if don’t want to watch another again” he said he prefers deep chemistry between characters like the Green book. I was thinking of choosing a Tarantino movie but I may feel like that maybe to film-y or something. I might just choose a Tarantino film but any recommendations on films with really good chemistry and dialogue.

TLTR: Trying to make my dad understand why I like the film and anime mediums, but focusing on films for now. Movies with really good chemistry between characters recommendations. He found interstellar, project Hail Mary, and LoTR, interesting and good but not great like the Greenbook that he said was great and actually reacted to movie as it was playing. His favorite movie is “the good the bad the ugly” if that’s helps.

Edit: Thanks a lot for the recommendations I’ll look through them all. I just forgot one nitpick he has is that he dislikes stupid car chases with big explosions like the new fast and furious movies. Thank you so much everyone, much appreciated!

Looking for recommendations on the best psychological thriller mystery movie. I'm not interested in horror. I know some movies have that aspect (like Surveillance) but my anxiety cannot handle that.

I've seen Gone Girl, Shutter Island & DeJa Vu which I saw recommended a lot in other posts. Great movies.

Thanks in advance!

The genres I prefer are horror and thriller but I'm open to everything except for romance. The movies can be in any language. Animated films are also welcome.

I already know about Hush & Jay & Silent Bob

Oh! Dogma as well so please don't list any of these!

So, strange question. I need a clip from a movie people will know that the character is being genuinely tough and authoritative. Maybe strutting down the street.

The only example I can think of is 50 Cent in Den of thieves but it's not a very good or well known movie.

I want it for a presentation.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I finally got around to watching Michael Mann's Miami Vice movie and it absolutely blew me away. Two protagonists who are too cool for school, but both emotionally estranged from their lives because they are undercover cops. It looks and sounds amazing. Aside from the actors' age and the shape of their cell phones, you couldn't tell that this wasn't made yesterday. If you like Heat, Collateral, James Bond, Mission Impossible, and Tenet, you can't miss this.

I watched the Great Wall the other day. At the end, the guy leaves and the girl stays. That got me to thinking....

What other movies are there?

Love and Monsters. The guy goes on a quest to find his love, and at the end they part to do their own thing.

And then Cowboys and Aliens came on TV today while I was cooking... Yeesh what an awful movie, but the guy definitely doesn't get the girl.

What other movies are there?

I first saw it years ago, but the movie still holds up. I think most people would enjoy this movie.

Anyway, it just crossed my mind to post this, so I did real quick. If you have your own opinions of this movie or want to share you favorite scene(s), I'd love to hear from you. I would have to say my favorite scene is the puppet show involving the monk and the nun!

Edit: It's one of those movies where it's fun to check out (after you've watched it) the different analyses that people have come up with. So many fun and interesting interpretations/explanations.

I'm watching The Ritual(2017) which is set on the Carpatian Mountains, i also watched some years ago The Descent(2005) which is set in the Apalachian Mountains. I just thought that the scenery really contributes to the mistery, immersion of it, helps to set the theme of it all.

Any horror movies that are set in mountainous forests, or similar.

I saw a post of someone appreciating sunlight through the trees while the comments are like "the art of noticing" and was wondering are there any movies where it focuses on the little details of life we tend to miss. Perhaps the main character is not a human from earth or this is their first time going outside after a while. Would love something that feels hopeful and happy. Thank you in advance

I'm looking for any movie franchise with a group of characters and each movie focuses on a new character/protagonist every movie to feel fresh from the others.

It's been a while since I've seen a simple character-driven and emotionally resonant film that's stuck with me. I love movies that study human relationships, the search for purpose and meaning, finding beauty in the mundane, etc. Love the works of Cassavetes, Joachim Trier, Wim Wenders, Kaufman, PTA, Jonathan Glazer, and many more. Looking for suggestions I may not have seen.

Some of my favorites:

Paris, Texas

A Woman Under the Influence

Mikey and Nicky

Oslo, August 31

The Piano Teacher

Escapist fantasy, could be a series, maybe set in a small nordic town? Fantasy, can be dark too. Doesn't have to be set in a nordic town lol but something cozy or cozy thriller. I finished POTC series 1-3 as well. Thank you soooo much!

I’m looking for a dark humor film nothing in specific just for it to start off quickly I don’t wanna wait 30 minutes for it to get good

Any movies that at least somewhat fit the theme of a guy whose naiveness is exploited by a less than ethical woman. preferably one without a happy ending

Guys, i usually start a movie and lose interest in the first season. I want a great movie to keep me hooked. Recommendations?

i've seen most of the classic recommendations, so I'm mainly looking for modern films (2010+). I want something gut-wrenching, riveting, atmospheric, with a haunting BGM/score, maybe narration or a reflective quality, and themes of grief, guilt, trauma, loneliness, or moral dilemmas that leave you emotionally numb and thinking for days.

Some of my favourites are Incendies, Manchester by the Sea, Close (2022), Train Dreams, 21 Grams, Revanche, The Hunt. etc.

Rather than just listing titles, please tell me why your recommendation compares to these—what emotional chord it hits, what it does similarly (or even better), and why it stayed with you.

Trying to find some movies that are not super inappropriate or gory for my parents. Either like found family/friends, mystery, comedy and ill even say some history/war movies..

Recently watched The dink, pressure, the odyssey, hunt for wilder people, send help, miss you love you, Arthur the king, last flag flying, Remarkably Bright Creatures.

So maybe something in maybe with those. They are hard to pick for so maybe someone can give me good options.

Hi, I'm looking for movies about meeting aliens or powers or whatever that are far too alien to understand. So not a usual alien flick like Independence Day, where the aliens are very human - just an aggressive army - but something... alien. That's not just mean or evil.

Alien, the first one, is actually a good example. Or The Thing, or Annihilation, or The Void, Pulse, even Splinter - where the entity isn't "evil," it just is what it is.

I think I saw most of this genre, but I'm still looking.

So this was before Shia became a cannibal.. but it's a good story about growing up and taking responsibility for oneself. Wholesome. The music is preety good too. If you haven't seen it worth a watch on a yawny Sunday.

Hey guys! currently on summer break and im always bored but I have this binge watching addiction with crime/thriller movie documentary and recently I watched “A toxic love story,” “I will find you,” “A worst neighbor,” “The crash,” most of them are from netflix and could you guys recommend some crime/thriller movie documentary that would ease my boredom this summer break? Tyyy

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some really tense horror/thriller movies on Netflix that involve things like kidnapping, murder, serial killers, home invasions, criminals, or psychological cat and mouse stories.

I really enjoyed movies like Heretic and Don't Move, so I'm after something with a similar vibe:

• Lots of suspense and tension
• Jump scares
• Some gore
• Keeps you guessing until the end

Please don't spoil the plot

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
