Neither of them is quite right, but the director's cut at least brings up that the zombies deserve to live and have agency, which was the big twist in the book. The theatrical cut is so maudlin and I couldn't believe the lady just drove to some gated community where everything is fine.

Kanine posted:i know this is a really hard question, but what's your favorite zombie movie of all time That is a bloody hard question. i Kinda want to say Return of the living dead 2. I know its not a perfect movie, not by a long shot, but i really liked the way they portrayed how getting bitten affects someone and how they try to fight it. On the other hand, Braindead, because you.......braindead. Other ones worth mentioning: Rec, first person gimmick movie, but it actually worked really really well. More of an possession and demon movie than pure zombie movie, but one i have to watch over and over atleast couple of times a year, Tales from the crypt: Demon Knight.

My favourite zombie movie is actually probably either Train to Busan or, of course, Shaun of the Dead.

Desperately need some laid back gritty crime dramas, I just watched the two Brother films as well as Sisters and I thought they were amazing. I don’t really know what I’m looking for, those movies weren’t as violent as I thought they’d be and they were a lot more genuine than I would’ve expected. Edit: I watched them after finishing GTA4, so anything like that also works.

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1401143/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1 A movie from Finland. It's a lovely Christmas fantasy/horror film. If you buy it on DVD you also get the two short films that preceded it, which are darkly hilarious little masterpieces themselves.

hell comes to frogtown the new barbarians (might be the worst movie on the list but worth it for the soundtrack alone, its worth rewatches for just the soundtrack) blood for dracula tremors blue thunder utu extreme prejudice rapid fire near dark maybe you will like some of these but you might also hate some of them!

nine lives from 1957 about the norwegian resistance was nominated for an oscar and voted greatest norwegian movie of all time. i dont think many people outside of norway have seen this but its fantastic and escapes a lot of the negative trappings of older norwegian cinema. its also based on a true story

Looking for dreamy, nightmarish, Lynchian horror movies. It's a really specific request, but I love stories where a character passes from the real world into a dream/purgatory/whatever. Things like Jacob's Ladder, Inland Empire, As Above So Below, the 2nd and 3rd seasons of Channel Zero, Baskin, etc.

Bergman's Persona and Hour of the Wolf, which were a huge influence on Lynch's style. Svankmajer's Alice, which is the only Alice in Wonderland adaptation that actually feels like you've entered a child's nightmare. And if you're not averse to (quasi-)silent cinema, try Dreyer's Vampyr.

They're more interesting as historical documents than relaxation movies but Hitchcock made two French-language propaganda films during the war to help gather support for the French Resistance. Aventure malgache and Bon Voyage, both from 1944.

Manchurian candidate is a classic. i think its great! it also has multiple connections to JFK which i think is a very good film. it would make a great double feature with JFK if that movie wasnt 3 hours long and you hadnt already watched it.

Looking for movies like Dial M for Murder and Rope. Murder mystery or detective stories with relatively low stakes, a small cast, few locations, probably based on a play. Not necessarily old movies, but I imagine they're more common in the 40s-70s.

And Then There Were None (1945) Sorry, Wrong Number Witness for the Prosection (maybe? it's been years since I've seen it, but I remember it having limited locations) Sleuth The Offence (less a murder mystery and more a "what led to this?") Deathtrap I've heard good things about The Last of Sheila too, but I've never seen it.

Looking for more movies like Chinatown. Want high production values and literary themes and great acting / directing. Being a "detective movie" is a plus but not a requirement. Similiar ones I've seen and enjoyed : Seven, LA Confidential,Memories of Murder.

I'm looking for anything in a similar vein to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (the 2011 film). Doesn't necessarily have to be espionage related, I just really enjoyed the whole "great actors talking their way through a convoluted situation" thing

The problem with wanting more things like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is that it's the best one—everything else will pale in comparison to that perfectly-wound script. For more modern stuff I'd say Fincher's films have similar qualities, Social Network especially. Frost/Nixon has a lot of that same DNA. Good Night and Good Luck. There Will Be Blood. The Constant Gardener. You can probably pull a list of "political thrillers" that will send you down a good path. But TTSS to me feels very much like a 60s/early 70s drama, so tapping into that more might scratch the itch for you—The Conversation, All the President's Men, Three Days of the Condor. And it wouldn't hurt to catch Smiley's People and really any other le Carre adaptation, even if none of them can match the brilliance of TTSS.DoctorGonzo posted:good cyberpunk movies? Depends on your definition of good, and on your flexibility on what constitutes Cyberpunk. Blade Runner/2049, Brazil, Akira, and the first Matrix are really the only excellent full-on "classic" Cyberpunk films as the genre tends to be defined in pop culture. If you're willing to get weird with it, though, you can throw in all kinds of movies and TV shows—Metropolis, La Jetee/12 Monkeys, Alphaville, THX-1138, World on a Wire, Eraserhead, Stalker, the Max Headroom TV series, the Robocop TV series and movies, Her, the first season of Westworld, The Animatrix, Gattaca, Dark City, Minority Report, Inception, Total Recall, Altered Carbon, Batman Beyond, Children of Men, Total Recall 2070 (okay, guilty pleasure), a whole bunch of anime, and the entirety of reality in 2019. The lines blur between dystopian sci-fi and cyberpunk often. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Nov 23, 2019 |
