Looking for good movies set during these historical periods, they can be of any genre as long as they are good quality. Doesn't matter if they director is native or foreigner.

You’re looking for a movie that gives you Halloween vibes but isn’t your run-of-the-mill horror movie? This is the one you want.

It’s not horror. And it’s not Halloween. But it’s got elements of both.

It’s about October.

The October filled with darkened, windy days, yes. Also, the October of our hearts, when we realize the year is going fast. And the October of our souls, when we realize we are never going to be young again. And maybe we aren’t okay with that.

It’s quiet, it’s melancholy, it’s evocative and it’s got a magnificent James Horner score. And, if you’re into that sort of thing, an amazing, weird, frustrating history.

It doesn’t entirely work, please don’t think I’m saying it’s a perfect movie. It isn’t. But you won’t ever forget it.

Hi guys, sometimes I feel I saw every sci-fi movie ever. Please recommend me some. It could international, VHS or TV, old or unpopular opinion about the movie, I don't care. My recommendation is Brother From Another Planet and Born In Flames.

4 Lions is one of my favorite movies, I love the dark social commentary about taking ideology too far without demonizing the broader group. Is there something similar for the American evangelical "guns and god" faiths? Maybe Mexican folk Christianity or something around Hindus vs Islam vs Sikhs? nothing pure fiction, nothing involving big groups co-ordinating in conflict. I want a farce about a small outgroup against whole societies.

Vanakkam! I’m looking for some movie recommendations and I’d really appreciate some lesser-known suggestions.

I’ve been trying to explore more of world cinema rather than just watching the usual popular Hollywood/Netflix recommendations. I’m especially interested in movies that leave an impression, make you think, or have something interesting to say about people, life, relationships, society, etc.

I’m open to movies from any country or language — Japanese, Korean, Iranian, French, German, Spanish, Indian, Scandinavian, Eastern European, whatever. Subtitles are completely fine.

I’ve already watched some well-known films like Taste of Cherry and The Sacrifice, and I’m slowly getting into this kind of cinema. I enjoyed Taste of Cherry, although I felt like it was intentionally incomplete. I also watched The Sacrifice and appreciated it, but I’m realizing that extremely slow, abstract, or heavily poetic movies might not always be my thing.

So I’m looking for a balance: something artistic and different, but still engaging enough that I don’t spend half the movie wondering when something is going to happen.
I’m particularly interested in:
Psychological dramas/thrillers
Character-driven movies
Unreliable reality / mind-bending stories
Existential or philosophical themes
Beautiful cinematography
Movies with strong atmosphere
Crime/thrillers that have more depth than a typical genre movie
Great coming-of-age or relationship stories
Underrated films that deserve more attention
I’m also interested in discovering directors rather than just individual movies, so if there’s a director whose filmography you think I should explore, definitely mention them.
What are some movies you’d recommend to someone trying to genuinely explore world cinema?

Looking for the best halloween movies, as someone who hasn't seen many before. TIA :)

Suggest some badass movies for a date night 👀🔥 Something with romance, chemistry, and a little spice.

I’m thinking like johnny cash, wild west that hasn’t caught up to the times, the depression bonnie and Clyde/badlands 1973
Shadow of a doubt 1943
Days of heaven 1978
The searchers 1956
Some less related but also enjoyable examples were stoker 2013, 1883 (tv series but still) elia kazan's east of eden (I'm not watching there will be blood)

This is one of my favorite post apocalyptic movies of time and I only discovered it a few years ago. Any recommendations for movies/shows that are similar to it? Thanks

Uff these frames 🤌

Missed these vibrant colors & such mythical fantasy movies in Hollywood

I don’t want to specify exactly which elements need to be present in another series or film; I’d just love for someone who has watched Life After Life and found it beautiful (cinematically, emotionally, narratively) to recommend something else that is close to their heart and worth checking out.
One note: doesn't have to be about death. Cause ironically, I feel this series is more about life than death, after all.

Okay so I want a spooky show or movie that’s scary but not over the top. I wouldn’t necessarily call love it if you could recommend me something that isn’t as widely known. Like a small gem you found on Netflix/tubi/disney. Preferably something paranormal. For reference, the most recent show I watched that I enjoyed was the show Dead Boy Detectives. So something along those lines would be good. But anything paranormal is fine.

Films like Green Knight which gives its own spin on Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, 10 things I hate about you being an adaptation of taming the shrew by William Shakespeare, how Kurosawa adapted Shakespeare and all.

Not 100% sure if that description is correct, but I'm essentially looking for things similar to Everything Everywhere All at Once, Sorry To Bother You, Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die, Mickey 17, and so on (with Mickey 17 admittedly not fitting as closely to this as the rest, with it being more of an edge case of what I'm down for)

I'm looking for a movie that will leave me sitting in silence after it ends, trying to process what I just watched.

I love movies with unexpected twists, clever storytelling, and endings that make you rethink everything.

What's one movie that genuinely surprised you? No spoilers, please! I'd love to go in knowing as little as possible. 🍿

UPDATE: MODS CURRENTLY have this locked and i can’t get it undone. if they do i will respond to your comment!! they said it was because i wasn’t interacting but the only time i wasn’t was when i was Asleep. i would like to keep responding, this is helpful and it’s helping me home in on the vibe! also great recs! thx

ou know when there’s like a whole filter on it? the color grading and color scheme is consistent and creates a world. beautiful to look at. great production design. EDIT: i think the kind of color grading/stylization im talking about is a 21st century thing.

i like psychological things or character studies; yk, stuff that focuses on one person or a small group of people. i’ve seen a lot! would really like some new stuff that fits the vibe :)

-NO Wes Anderson, Baz Luhrman, Sofia Coppola, or Yorgos Lanthimos. please

-no sexual assault of any kind

-EDIT: I’M GOING TO KEEP UPDATING STUFF IN FORGOT HERE SORRY!! not really into erotic romances or serious romances. i don’t like horror comedy either, and i do not like action movies or gangster movies. love mcdonagh though

and i need something with content, not just slow burn the whole time. good pacing. sorry im trying to really pin down the vibe, lmk if none of this makes sense!

movies i love that fit, for reference:

Amélie

Die My Love

Pan’s Labyrinth, Shape of Water, other del Toro

Where the Crawdads Sing

Watcher (2022) the one with Maika Monroe

The Fall (2006)

Bad Times at the El Royale

Midsommar/other Ari Aster

Trainspotting (not looking for something this gritty right now though)

Inherent Vice, which kinda fits

Jojo Rabbit

The King’s Speech

Dust Bunny

A good hallowe’en recommendation. Veronica Lake, Fredric March dir Rene Clair.

Just rewatched the scene from American Beauty with Dragonettes/Marionettes? - don't remember, when Spacey cascades into the whole rose petals moment, with music slowing down upon him - something similar, but unlike Blade Runner 2049 which is trying hard and ends up a 4-hour long bore.

Something picturesque and dissociating, yet still bound to real life.

Mulholland Drive, Lemony Snickets, Sucker Punch - also come to mind

Give me movie suggestions on Netflix

1) it should be mind blowing

2) it should be entertaining

I want a lot of emotions without crying ..happy ending..maybe forced love then real love..I just want to be happy and chill after work

This movie freaked me out so bad, need more like this this month! Any recs?
