In this period of confinement, I’m out of things to do (that’s not true- but I like to think of it that way even if I have assigned work to do).
I’ve been watching quite a few movies recently and some I love, some I found were too ‘slow’ e.g Machinist (i didn’t even watch it fully) and boring lol. But some were interesting e.g Fractured - that movie kept me thinking a lot while it was running.
If you have movie recommendations, I would love it xD I would like to see something that’s not ‘slow paced’, and at the same time would be convenient for a family viewing.
Stay safe guys! (btw I’m loving music recommendations on the music talk section)
I’m always a fan of Wes Anderson movies, but based on the two movies you listed I have no clue if they will be a fit for you. My personal favorite is Rushmore, but they all have moments I like. Moonlight Kingdom, Royal Tenenbaums, and Bottle Rocket are all great
Film is the one thing I spend more money on than audio lol
If this drags I’m gonna convince a lot of my internet friends to go watch some of the real weird stuff
This is the perfect time to plug that y’all should seek out Zulawski’s Posession, a movie that changes genres every 15 minutes is about a spy whose wife leaves him for another man who happens to also be an eldritch squid god
I watched it after I saw Mandy. I don’t know that I’d say I liked either movie as a whole, but his style is pretty unique. Opening Mandy with a King Crimson song had me at hello.
Oooh contagion seems interesting especially in this era we’re living in!
I’ve watched interstellar (superb soundtrack btw), great movie, deepwater horizon is cool too. Haven’t seen morgan, before i fall, but i’ll be sure to check them out! Thanks!
For A Few Dollars more - Better than The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Come at me. Dark Star - More of an eclectic choice, but a dude surfs to his death on the wreckage of a spaceship. Don’t tell me you aren’t going to watch that. In Bruges - For people who like the word c**t, and midgets… sorry, dwarfs.
Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid - Back when having former SNL cast members make movies was a wise decision.
Richard Stanley’s Color Out of Space.
Nic Cage and Lovecraft
Denise Villeneuve’s Enemy
If you can find it, Shunji Iwai’s:
Swallowtail Butterfly. Dickensian near future cyberpunk.
All About Lily Chou Chou. One of the darkest depictions of bullying ever.
Uncut Gems. One of the most stressful crime thrillers I’ve seen in a while
Konstantin Lopushansky’s
Letters from a dead man: late soviet nuclear apocalypse fiction. Fits well with threads and the day after.
Visitor to a Museum. Late soviet dystopian scifi
The ugly swans. Mid 00s scifi based on a strugatsky novel (who wrote roadside picnic, which was adapted into Stalker). Incredibly dark first contact type story
