DoctorGonzo posted:movies like the breakfast club? Mary Jane's Not a Virgin Anymore (1998) Metropolitan (1990) Fast Times at Ridgemont High if you've somehow never seen it. Everything else by John Hughes obviously The Big Chill (pretty much tonally and thematically the same as Breakfast Club except it's about aging Boomers in the mid-80's instead of Gen X teens in the mid-80's)

Kanine posted:hey does anyone have particularly good recommendations for ww2 underground resistance films? They're more interesting as historical documents than relaxation movies but Hitchcock made two French-language propaganda films during the war to help gather support for the French Resistance.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.

Hell's Angels is excellent, though it's been years since I've seen it and my memory is hazy beyond really liking it.

Specific request but what are some good films set in Berlin with musical or political themes. Thinking of stuff like Wings of Desire, Decoder, Christiane F., and Knife in the Head. Preferably from the 70s-80s but outside that era works too.

Cabaret is actually a good rec because I've never seen it. edit: Which Mephisto is that? Also, should probably specify, I don't mind some Nazi-era stuff and obviously that poo poo resonates throughout everything in Germany leading up to today, but I'm more interested in post-war. I'm most interested in that unrest that rose up around the time of the RAF/Baader-Meinhof or the underground arts world of that time. Double edit: It occurs to me the phrase I'm looking for here is the New German Cinema. :p Though Mephisto and The Damned both look very good.

In general I am interested in doing a deeper dive on German cinema and The Blue Angel is a long overdue blind spot.

feedmyleg posted:Peppy, preppy 80s? Just that height of joyful bubblegum consumerism and big hair and jazzercize and malls and pink/teal puffy idealism? Perfect, starring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis. It's got all the jazzercise you could want in a lifetime.
