Ramrod Hotshot posted:Are any of Paul Verhoeven's movies worth watching outside of the classic trilogy of Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers? Pretty much all of them. Elle, Black Book, Basic Instinct, The Fourth Man, and Showgirls all rule. Flesh and Blood is not very good but it's interestingly weird. Hollow Man is also not great but you can see where there was a much better movie at some point in the process that got chopped up.

Blue Labrador posted:I am pretty familiar with Cronenberg's big ones, but I haven't seen Slither. I'll check that out, along with Tetsuo 2 and Possessor, thanks! Possessor is directed by Cronenberg’s kid, as is Antiviral, which will almost certainly hit your spot too

magic cactus posted:Howdy! I’m sure you know that Tarkovsky was a huge influence on Bi Gan, and all of his movies have a good bit of this vibe, not just stalker. Other communist bloc filmmmakers and their direct descendents are probably good bets, Bela Tarr, Zulawski (maybe a little stressful/horny for what you’re looking for), Kieslowski, any of the fifth generation Chinese guys

Gripweed posted:I should’ve been more specific, I mean proper cults. Robes, sacrifices, a nude lady tied to an altar, that whole vibe. They don’t have to be satanic, but that kind of old school satansploitation thing. this kind of action right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVUrOErXsJc

Basebf555 posted:I feel like this town isn't quite as built up as you'd like but hey it's an excuse to post one of the best shots in any Western ever. Also definitely an inspiration to one of the establishing shots in Back to the Future III. Another Leone, Duck You Sucker (A Fist Full of Dynamite) features fully built up cities, but they are in Mexico so the architecture and vibe is pretty different.

morestuff posted:Leviathan is great, but make sure it’s not the narrative feature that came out around the same time. Manakamana from the same folks too Manakamana is a Harvard Sensory Ethnography Lab project but it’s by not the same directors as Leviathan. The directors of Leviathan did go on to do an absolutely wild documentary about famous cannibal Issei Sagawa, Caniba, and a recent documentary about the human body by way of surgeries and autopsies called De Humani Corporis Fabrica. They definitely have more in common with Leviathan than Manakamana, but one of the two (Lucien Casting Taylor) also co directed Sweetgrass, which is a similar vibe to what the op is looking for

I recommend them all, but as you might expect from the subject matter Caniba and De Humani Corporis Fabrica are pretty rough watches

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:No trying to be a prick but Kung Fu Panda was a heavily promoted massively successful decade-and-a-half old mainstream animated blockbuster that spawned a handful of sequels and a TV show - recommending it feels like earnestly recommending Star Wars, and if you're interested in a darker science fiction movie, watch the sequel, The Empire Strikes Back. That one features a more layered villain, bigger action sequences, and it delves deeper into characters of the first movie. I think it’s extremely cool that someone registered for this forum in 2023 and their first two posts were both extremely earnest and about kung fu panda, I am not being ironic in any way that rules

idiotsavant posted:Recommend me some bad movies! I need to come up with a second selection for bad movie club, first option will be Zardoz. We kind of run the whole gamut; we've done lots of erotic thrillers, lots of goofy fantasy/scifi, some cult classic stuff, etc. Think: Brian DePalma's Body Double; Flash Gordon; Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill; Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls; Body of Evidence; Lifeforce etc You didn’t name any bad movies so I’m confused

Gaius Marius posted:Polanski's Macbeth was fairly accurate in its language from what I recall but having been made just after the murder of Sharon Tate and friends it is incredibly dark, violent and nihilistic. I go back and forth on whether it or Throne of Blood is my favorite. I did this back to back with the Coen one recently and it’s a lot of fun how differently they approach the material, what lines they cut and include, etc
