No.1592
Lets start a movie recommendation thread. List what you like and other Mr(s). Will try to give you other movies to watch.
No.1618
I really enjoyed Kingdom of Heaven, Filth, and American Sniper.
No.1633
>>1592I haven't seen Filth, but if you enjoyed Kingdom of Heaven, try the HBO miniseries "Rome"
No.1634
Some of my favorite movies include Dr. Strangelove, Aliens, and Master & Commander.
No.1771
>>1633Will do, Mr(s). Anon.
>>1634I learned to love Strangelove, and nuclear warfare.
No.1800
>>1592I went to watch The Imitation Game recently. I have to say I was impressed by it. The cinematography was very clean and the characters were well-composed.
If you aren't a fan of the newer style that The Imitation Game puts on, then I'd recommend A Beautiful Mind. It's the same character (Alan Turing) but with a different story arc - particularly emphasizing his paranoia.
No.1926
>>1592 give Beyond The Black Rainbow a chance. it's a great film.
No.1930
YouTube embed. Click thumbnail to play.
>>1926Its trailer is physically terrifying. I like it.
No.1942
>>1930>>1926Color me intrigued. However, I'm not sure what you mean by physically terrifying.
>>1592I recommend anything with Kevin Spacey or Robert Norton in it. (The Usual Suspects, American History X, American Beauty, Fight Club)
No.1947
>>1942It was a hyperbole. The trailer creeps me out, because I have a fear of mind / social control. I'm not sure if there's a technical name for that.
No.1976
La Haine
Anybody who hasn't seen this really needs to watch it.
No.1984
>>1618>Kingdom of HeavenTheatrical or Director's Cut?
No.1998
>>1976seconded
also, Aguirre: The Wrath of God (early Herzog with Klaus Kinski) is amazing.
No.2000
>>1984I usually watch the director's cut of movies if I can get my hands on them since most movies tend to leave out good portions of the story because they want to appeal to a mass audience.
>muh shekels No.2003
>>1800>A Beautiful Mind. It's the same character (Alan Turing)uhh incorrect. A Beautiful Mind is about the economist John Nash, who won a Nobel Prize.
No.2004
Upstream Color
Mainly for the cinematography.
No.2005
The Advocate
>Ian Holm et. al. Intrigue, paranoia, humor, and tits in the late medieval French countryside.
The Paper
>Michael Keaton, Glenn Close, Robert Duval. A tautly directed high-energy day in the life of a NYC newspaper editor.
The 13th Warrior
> A guilty pleasure film staring El Mariachi as a Muslim who teams up with Vikings to fight cannibals. Like a great D&D adventure on film.
Sorcerer
>From the director of The Exorcist and The French Connection - a great character-driven film that no one remembers, because Star Wars came out at the same time.
The Big Sleep
>Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Baccal. The Film Noir screenplay is so convoluted that you may come to the end not being sure what the hell happened, but you won't care because the dialogue is so damn cool.
No.2007
Never seen this one but maybe will
No.2014
>>2007chortle reminds me of this
No.2019

>>2004that's the "primer" guy's other movie, isn't it?
Primer is a must-see. It's a "realistic" time-travel story that's incredibly creepy and complicated
No.2020
>>2019here's a explanation of the plot. reading it won't spoil you since you won't understand anything anyways.
No.2028
Kiyoshi Kurosawa stuff:
This one is Cure and it is about a string of murders where the perpetrators cannot recall their motive for the crime except that "it felt like the right thing to do at the time". The detective cannot sustain his fractious grasp between his identities as a detective and a husband to a mentally ill wife when he meets an amnesic man who all the killers have come across.
No.2029
Charisma:
Described by Kurosawa himself as a movie just like Indiana Jones except the treasure is strange imported tree that poisons all the forest around it. A newly laid off detective, again Yakusho, stops his taxi halfway through the ride and walks off into the forest. There he meets a young man trying to restore "Charisma" back to health, a conservationist group trying to dig up the tree, and a botanist who wants it destroyed. Detective Yabuike quickly becomes kingmaker and must decide the fate of Charisma and the forest.
No.2030
Kairo / Pulse:
Made in 2001 and deals with social disconnect and the internet. There is fun horror and there is nasty horror, and you will be counting the fathoms of the latter if you watch this. The scariest film made. No overarching plot, just an assault of harrowing sounds and images. No jump scares.
No.2037
Eraserhead, Breaking The Waves, Videodrome, Brazil
No.2040
>>1976Very good film. I thought about it recently. Interesting the way the muslim, black guy and banker run around, but ultimately the banker gets off scot-free because he looks the whitest.
>inb4 go back to /pol/Mid-90s there was a lot of unrest in France (still is, if not more so). But looking at La Haine through eyes, nearly 20 years later it is quite funny. They blame the muslim, they blame the black guy but the problem was the little white looking bankerish kid who never when to the synagogue, always playing "the big Iam" (IAM… French Hip-Hop joke there).
Or at least that is the way it turns out in the film, rather than the wider world around it. Never thought about it that way until recently.
As for other films…
Birdman (recent one) is great.
No.2045
I thoroughly enjoy Seraphim Falls. If you like westerns, or even dramas I recommend that film
No.2048
>>1592Just watched Birdman, and was pretty impressed. Highly recommend it, but it's not the most action packed movie there is.
No.2364
Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky is hands down my favorite film.
No.2371
>>1592 Another Earth and In Origins are both made by a guy named Mark Cahil. Both are very good.
Listen to the Sound of My Voice is another one made by that same group of people. It's good also.
No.2575
>>2364Tarkofski is an absolute don; and also a supreme troll. In "Solaris" he deliberately inserted a 45 minute sequence of cars driving on a motorway, with no dialogue, just to scare away the casualfags.
I'd reccomend that you explore more eastern European cinema. Marketa Lazarova is my favourite from that particular ouvre; but White Tiger is a worthy recent addition to the cMr(s). Anon. Solaris is worth checking out if you haven't already.
My favourite film is Titus. I love The Cement Garden as well though; although it's about a million miles from Titus in tone, style and theme. I've tried watching Ken Park, as it seems to be right up my street, but found the whole thing with Tate and his grandparents far too upsetting to continue.
