Looking for movies where a group of friends (or one person) murders someone and the ensuing events surrounding it. Movies I liked in this style: - Alpha Dog - Bully - Paradise Park - Super Dark Times - River's Edge - Mean Creek - Stand by Me (they don't murder someone, but a similar vibe) Supersonic fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Oct 22, 2024 |

I'm looking for movies where a character learns to love themselves, but through interacting with either themselves or like a projection of themselves (like Swiss Army Man); like the opposite of Fight Club.

This is an enticing question to me depending on how conceptual you want to get with it. Moon? Adaptation? Blue Velvet??

Jeez that's hard. I want to settle on The Double Life of Veronique. Maybe Primer and maybe Memento, but you have to be careful of those. I thought of another that I like, but I think it was too close to the Fight Club end of being the opposite of what you want.

I’m gonna list some moody Japanese ghost stories that I think are bangers, please let me know what I am missing: Kuroneko Onibaba A Woman in the Dunes Kwaidan Jigoku Empire of Passion Demon Pond Pretty sure all of these are in the criterion collection, but surely I’ve either missed some or that label hasn’t collected them all.

It's a bit different from the movies you listed (its not a period piece) but Noroi is a fantastic moody Japanese ghost story.

I wouldn't consider Vengeance is Mine a ghost story even with a certain something at the end, but I wouldn't have said that about Woman in the Dunes either, so it might be something you'd like.

There are a lot, but probably the gooniest would be La Jetée. It's a short. You might want to watch Vertigo first, but that's optional. Go in blind, preferably, meaning don't finish this post. But if you must know, you could almost say it accidentally invented the visual novel, which you would otherwise assume came from Japan. But seriously, don't look at the spoiler. It's not for plot, it's for the everything.

If you're mainly looking to chew on a lot of the French language while also watching good movies I'll try to simplify. Lot of dialogue due to voice over: La Jetee, and Robert Bresson's A Man Escaped, Pickpocket, and Diary of a Country Priest. Go with Diary of a Country Priest if this is for language class because it has the For dialogue density: My Night at Maud's. Last French movie I saw, so maybe it's just top of mind. But yeah, Rohmer is talky and of his three films I've seen this sticks out. Honorable mention for The Mother and The Whore, the longest French script you'll probably ever want to watch. Pretty high dialogue density iirc and very long length. Theoretically the best closing monologue in a French movie, but this claim's more debateable.

Cache is awesome. Good call. Lemming is a lesser known Dominik Moll film and it was very good. Great cast. I would watch pretty much anything with Charlotte Gainsbourg in it.

Okay, looking for a group movie night suggestion, preferably of the "weird and kinda stupid but cool" vein. Not an outright bad movie, but a bit baffling and provoking shocked laughter is a plus. Phantom of the Paradise and Repo Man went over great, Streets of Fire was a bit of a dud, and Rock & Rule was good from the perspective of horrified morbid curiosity, though I'm pretty sure Heavy Metal would be a bridge too far
