I would like a great pre-Star Wars science fiction film. A cynical one that reflects our current hellscape lol. I’ve never seen Logan’s Run, A Boy and His Dog, Soylent Green or any of them. But if something sounds a little more relevant I’d like to hear it.

The original hasn't been available on a home format since Laserdisc so it's mostly a moot point. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Sep 13, 2020 |

But if something sounds a little more relevant I’d like to hear it. 1968’s Planet of the Apes might’ve set off the pre-Star Wars cynical SF trend, which included movies like Silent Running and the ones you mentioned. There's also The Quatermass Conclusion, which was released as a movie and as a TV mini-series; it came out after Star Wars but was written several years earlier.

So technically it's between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, but I saw the '78 Invasion of the Body Snatchers last night and it might legitimately be my favorite thing in the genre. Also, I want to share this scene with as many people as possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz2IN7Gn-ys

She also does that during the end credits of the last episode of the BrainDead series on Amazon. Some of Philip Kaufman's movies are very good, the Body Snatchers remake was one of them. If you've never seen them, you should also watch Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Wanderers, and The White Dawn (a very underrated and not well known movie).

Mid-80s Kim Catrell had my schoolboy self feeling things I had never felt before. E: great piece of IMDB trivia: imdb posted:LSD researcher Jerry Kelly convinced himself that this movie was real. He was arrested multiple times for speaking and even at times groping and undressing mannequins at several different retail shops. Eventually, he admitted that it was not the LSD that lead him to this. regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Sep 21, 2020 |

What are some movies and documentaries about photography and photographers? Something where the art of photography is part of the text or themes, not necessarily something like You're Next where a character uses a camera for a single iconic scene.

It's pretty good but not great - it doesn't quite get to his essence or find the throughline. but it's really interesting about music photography in the 60s and 70s. He shot everyone: The Beatles, Stones, Jimi, Johnny Cash (he was the only photographer Johnny allowed at San Quentin and Folsom; he took the shot of JC flipping the bird), Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane... He took so many iconic photos that you'll recognise. The film is stuffed with those so it's a visual treat. it's worth watching.

I saw it not really knowing what to expect and it ended up blowing me away. I was a bit leery of the found footage aspect as I generally find movies without a strong narrative can lose my interest, but the way the footage is put together really worked for me. Plus her second feature, Dick Johnson is Dead is going to be released in a few days on Netflix so you can be a completist asap!

I went back several pages and wrote down a bunch of movies. On the list I wrote was Martyrs. I went in blind. Whichever one of you did this to me, well played. Martyrs makes Audition look like nap time in a kindergarten.

If you're good with just spooky and not outright scary then 2001 or Solaris.

feedmyleg posted:Comedy option: The Green Slime I'd recommend Green Slime as a serious option; it's actually really good on a cinematic level. It's the same director as Battle Royale, and even though there's about 30 years between those movies, he has a real mastery over blocking and camera movement – I watched them fairly closely together earlier in the year and was shocked at just how well put together Green Slime is as a film, even if the script is a total comic book with gooey monsters.

I just saw it recently and though there's plenty to enjoy there, it just felt like it was awkwardly half goofy 50s b-movie and half gritty 70s thriller.
