Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:Anybody got recommendations for movies similar to The Insider or Michael Clayton? Movies that mine real suspense and excitement out of people having conversations in offices without a whole lot of traditional “action”. I’ve seen most of Pakula’s major films. I'm a big fan of 'A Most Wanted Man', which is Le Carre again like 'Tinker Tailor'

Archonet posted:I'm on a bit of a horror kick recently, and rewatched "1408" a few weeks ago. Really dig the idea of "malicious location that fucks with someone's sanity/perception of reality and time", as opposed to "spoopy ghost haunts place", the idea of a place itself just being some kind of outright malicious reality-twisting eldritch horror is interesting. Was hoping someone knew anything in the same vein. Slow burn is my jam, and preferably something well-received critically -- I don't hate so-bad-its-good campy horror movies, but they're easy to find. Oculus.

If you dig found footage at all, the Grave Encounters might also scratch that itch.

Kvlt! posted:Looking for movies about military/law enforcement black ops: specifically military and or law enforcement operating in countries they're not supposed to be in/not allowed in. Assume you've seen it but Apocalypse Now fits the bill. There's also Spartan, but a lot of that is domestic.

Kvlt! posted:I'm looking for movies like the Green Mile, where characters try to explore/figure out a spiritual phenomena or miracles. I'd second Solaris, pretty much nails what you've described - admittedly I've only seen the English remake but I liked it.

Gaius Marius posted:Kill Bill Duology is sliding into the slot Jackie Brown used to occupy as the hipster best film now that the general consensus on Jackie Brown has been suitably reappraised. Personally I think Once upon a time...is his best but that's not super popular Uh, I've never spoken to anyone that thinks that the Kill Bills are his best. I'd remember because that sure is an opinion.

I just watched Hotel Artemis which was a pleasant surprise and a sneakily stacked cast. Any recommendations for recent well made/sufficiently budgeted sci-fi that might have slid under the radar?

Thanks friends, some solid recs. I'd seen Coherence and Triangle, very much my jam.
