I rewatched Ironclad, and it has me in a mood. CineD, recommend me films with similarly brutal ancient, medieval, or early modern period violence (Centurion has already been seen).

At some point someone in this thread recommended The Way of the Gun, and I just wanted to say thanks. On top of a crazy convoluted plot, the violence continually ratchets up until the end of the movie, which has an incredible gun fight. Also, how many movies have Ryan Phillipe beating the every loving poo poo out of a foul mouthed Sarah Silverman?

penismightier posted:Give Medicine for Melancholy a try! Exactly the feel I was going for, but fell a bit flat in execution, acting, and writing. Decent but nothing special imo. Skwirl posted:All The Real Girls, While very Hollywood in its approach (some of the set pieces i.e. [spoiler]the embrace on the bowling alley, the race track stuff were silly and it hit a lot of standard beats, the way it was shot with extreme color grading was disappointing), it was a good movie even if not quite what I was looking for. Will check out other suggestions from the thread, thanks all!

I suppose it depends on how 'realistic' you want your violence or movie. Excalibur and 300 are both reasonably brutal but with a completely different feel than Ironclad based on what I've seen of that movie.

I'm looking for films that are about heavy drinking, preferably where it's not that glamorous. Something like Husbands (I've yet to watch Mikey and Nicky though I hear it's similar) The Last Detail Sideways (preferably a bit darker than this) The American Dreamer Withnail and I docs are fine to. justcola fucked around with this message at 14:55 on Nov 24, 2012 |

After rewatching The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and The Proposition, I'm in the mood for more Westerns that are in the same vein - no heroics, stark, and brutal. EDIT Alhazred posted:Check out a guy called Sergio Leone. Probably should have mentioned that I'm a huge Leone fan and have everything he directed. That's not really the tone I'm going for. The violence in his films is kind of light-hearted compared to the movies I mentioned. I'll definitely give Unforgiven another watch. It's been a few years.

Open Range is another one that's got a bit more emphasis on the gritty than idyllic. Even so, neither are really the grim dark levels of the two films you mention but the only one I can think of that is is probably Unforgiven and it's been mentioned already. You could also give Appaloosa a go. It's not great but there's a Western drought as of late, aside from say True Grit and 3:10 to Yuma as of late and it's relatively dark.

Oh there's also 'Doc', Frank Perry's 1971 revisionist western about how much of a dick Wyatt Earp was. A little clunky but there's some really powerful moments and the whole thing has a dirty edge that's too often absent in the genre.

High Noon technically has some heroics but it's also quite stark and brutal.

doctor 7 posted:Wyatt Earp has some heroics but nowhere near to the ludicrous degree of Tombstone. Earp's actually portrayed as a bit of an rear end in a top hat. I'd reccommend Seraphim Falls, it's a beautiful looking film, with only a bare handful of characters but a stark but brilliant storyline

monkey posted:Shakes the Clown Monsters isn't set in a spaceship but some of the environmental design was great, especially for a low budget indie. More than once I wondered how the hell they got that shot. 2046 is also not on a spaceship and I'm not 100% sure it's science fiction but it is a phenomenal film with great design.

Thanks for the recommendations.quote:Looking for sci fi recommendations from say mid 90s onwards, more interested in solid art direction than plot. Preferably set in a spaceship. Prometheus, Solaris, Event Horizon, Sunshine, Pandorum, that sort of thing... Beyond the Black Rainbow Cube Dark City Skyline None of these are set on space ships but look pretty slick. If you wanted to go before the mid 90s, Andromeda Strain has a similar look to the other films you mentioned (and THX) quote:After rewatching The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and The Proposition, I'm in the mood for more Westerns that are in the same vein - no heroics, stark, and brutal. Way Of the Gun Badlands The Road Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia All of these are sort of westerns set in modern days so maybe give them a try? Otherwise read Blood Meridian.

Looking for some recommendations on murder mysteries, with a 12 Little Indians-style "people keep getting killed off, it has to be one of us, who's doing it?" setup. I'm trying to think of other examples beyond Clue and Mindhunters and drawing a major blank.

I'm looking at Almost Famous and there's a director's cut that's over 40 minutes longer than the theatrical edition, bringing it to almost three hours of runtime. Do the changes bog down the pacing or make the movie better? I'm a bit iffy because I've watched a ton of director's cuts that were very, very tedious.
