Almost Blue posted:I'm looking for movies that are similar to River's Edge and Out of the Blue. Low-key, kind of anti-coming-of-age movies in small towns that are just sort of depressing. Fire Walk With Me might be another example, but it's more operatic than those two.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:I’m looking for some good seafaring movies. I rewatched Master and Commander last night and it’s still great. Submarine movies are cool too, but mainly looking for stuff in the vein of Master and Commander. While not in the same vein as M&C, Deep Water is an amazing documentary.

magic cactus posted:Howdy! So many come to mind. In addition to El Grap's recommendations, I would add: the films of Tsai Ming-liang the films of Bela Tarr (a bit dark, maybe, but try Werckmeister Harmonies) the films of Andrei Tarkovsky The Long Day Closes Aguirre, the Wrath of God The Conformist The Tree of Life (among other Malick) Innocence (2004, Lucile Hadzihalilovic) The Scent of Green Papaya and The Vertical Ray of the Sun Waiting for Happiness

I'm thinking an everyman gets caught up in some spy-style hijinks—maybe halfway between James Bond and North by Northwest, but open for interpretation. How to Steal a Million

i think of demons posted:is there anything similar to Švankmajer's Faust out there? the stop-motion animation/puppetry isn't primarily what i'm thinking of, even though it's great. i mostly like the pastiche of theatre, opera, and literature combined with the total indifference to realism and the sense of doom. Simon of the Desert is probably the closest thing to it that I've seen, which is another favorite Try La Casa Lobo.

SkunkDuster posted:I watched The Florida Project yesterday and really enjoyed it. I also liked KIDS, Gummo, and Requiem For A Dream. Another good one is the 1981 made for tv adaptation of The Gin Game with Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. The common theme here is "slice of life" type movies that don't follow typical movie tropes and don't necessarily have happy endings or any resolution - somewhere between a documentary and movie. Is there a genre for this type of film? Any recommendations on similar films? almost everything by John Cassavetes

pidan posted:I'd like to watch a good movie about Don Quixote. Can be a real movie, or a recording of a play or opera. Modernization or rewrites are ok as long as it sticks reasonably close to the original in terms of plot and message. Ideally on streaming or YouTube somewhere. Can anyone recommend one? The Russian Don Kikhot is quite good. My review.

magic cactus posted:Anyone have an recommendations for documentaries similar to Into Great Silence? Watched that one recently and I really like its minimal dialogue and focus on letting the sounds and pace of life at the monastery envelop the viewer, without really going into "talking head" type stuff. Subject matter can be secular or religious. Thanks for any recommendations! Faya Dayi Baraka/Samsara
