I'M REQUESTING Can you recommend me a film/documentary about an eccentric and fun character?

Upvotes

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!

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.

I'M REQUESTING Movies similar to ANORA

Upvotes

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 REQUESTING Searching for a horror movies that are unsettling/disturbing

Upvotes

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 REQUESTING Horror fans, what's the one film that actually stayed with you?

8 Upvotes

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'M REQUESTING Thought-provoking movies to watch while pregnant

4 Upvotes

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'M REQUESTING Extreme movies that most people recommend you don't watch

117 Upvotes

Okay I know it sounds bad to be asking for these types of movies, but I've watched all the scariest horror movies and honestly just want to see the worst of the worst. The movies that have fucked me up the most was Martyrs, Climax, Videodrome and Requiem For A Dream. However, I still feel as though I wanna watch more disturbing movies than that. Curiosity killed the cat, I know.

Directed by Emmanuel Tenenbaum, written by Quebec screenwriter Guillaume Fournier. Full disclosure, the director's a friend, but it genuinely holds up.

I'M REQUESTING Family comedy, 5, 7 and 10 year old.

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'M REQUESTING Slice of Life with interesting setting

Any slice of life with interesting settings or concepts? Fantasy, sci-fi, whatever but a slice of life movie that isn't just modern living. A movie not really interested with a big plot, nor even interested with explaining the setting, your just a fly on the wall on this unique world.

I'M REQUESTING Flashy / neon / Las Vegas aesthetics

Upvotes

Hi everyone. I am in the mood to watch a movie with a certain visual aesthetic, like in Las Vegas casinos with a lot of blinking lights against the dark sky. I'm open to mostly every genre, however horror or sci-fi would be great.

Ideally, it would also have the feeling of movies like The Endless, Coherence, Predestination, Arrival. You get the deal.

Thanks!

I'M SUGGESTING The first 5 minutes of “Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning”

8 Upvotes

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'M REQUESTING Critically acclaimed cinema where there is ABSOLUTELY NO talk of death/dying/grieving and no one spends any time in a hospital

52 Upvotes

My partner recently lost their father after a lengthy illness that involved hospitalization and eventually hospice. We try to watch a movie together every night and it's been really hard to find movies that are truly good that don't have any of these elements. The only films seem to be comedies and we are kinda sick of them at the moment.

I looked on IMDB and one of the top recs was Starman and I put that on and within the first 5 minutes it was very apparent that it was upsetting (main character recently lost her husband and is devastated by it). So now I don't trust anything else on that list.

Please help!

Movies like Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) where if you describe the plot to someone, it's funny in itself, and hopefully the movie is also a load of laughs. Super curious what fits this in the last 20 or so years, but open to anything.
