What are some units that are definitely required for someone who is +40 level? Here is what I have;
I’ve heard that Park Chan-Wook’s Oldboy is considered one of South Korea’s most prominent films, maybe behind Parasite possibly and others. However, I didn’t know that they made an American remake under Spike Lee. I’ve noticed that the United States often likes to remake Asian films. However, according to IMDb, Letterboxd, and a lot of other critics, these remake was not perceived well. I would like to ask the prestigious community of movies why this American remake didn’t perform as well? Thank you.
Yesterday, I saw a video by a YouTuber known as Brofessor Stein. He made a video in which he explained the most unhinged person of every century starting from Anno Domini. I found this video very interesting as he did a really good job describing each person and the strange or bizarre things they did. I tried to get more opinion and takes on this by asking AI, but the response was obviously watered down and filtered. So I come to this subreddit; who were some of the most unhinged or disturbed individuals of each century starting from AD?Thank you
I am here to ask a specific question about Selby's novel which would go onto be adapted into a critically acclaimed film by Darren Aronofsky. I am trying to place this book in a category as I like to put my books into different sects in order to allow me to find them quicker and compare with other books. Which of these shelves would the book go into? [Adapted], [ExtremeLit], [Drugs], or whatever you would suggest?
I was going through my Goodreads and I like to organize my books into different shelves before I start deciding which to read. However, I am quite stumped on whether or not I should place A Clockwork Orange into "ExtremeLit" or if I shouldn't be considered that. May I have all your thoughts please?

May I have the thoughts of the subreddit please?
Whenever I often watch movies, there is often at least one character who is either a complete jerk, or gets away with doing or saying the most insane things. I know this might be strange, but what are some films in which these said characters get what they deserve in either the most savage or crazy way ever? Thank you.
Hello. It is my first time on this subreddit, and I'm sorry if this question is not appropriate for this specific subreddit. I have heard of a film called Ichi the Killer. I know this film has some sort of a cult classic vibe and was directed by Takashi Miike, who also made another film called Audition. I've heard that this movie was adapted from Hideo Yamamoto's Ichi the Killer, who also wrote another popular manga series. I was slightly uncomfortable adding the Ichi the Killer movie to my watchlist since the film has a lot of graphic sexual violence. Should I read the manga or watch the film?
I am looking for some films in which a happy ending or the protagonist triumphing is not present. But rather I am looking for a film that shows the antagonist of the film winning and facing no consequences for his actions in a shocking yet slightly disturbing way.
Hello. I am very new to the genre of Sword and Sorcery. The only instance of this genre that I am very well with is Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian. However, just in case, I was wondering if there were any other medias to check out for Sword and Sorcery? I would like a starter pack of different medias I should explore of the genre. Please and thank you
Since the sequel for The Devil Wears Prada came out, might as well get this question out. I know I’m a bit late and I apology. I looked at the first The Devil Wears Prada and saw that it was solid with 7.0 on IMDb and 3.8 on Letterboxd. I checked the book on Goodreads(I don’t know any other book tracking services) and saw that it was around 3.82, which is solid. However, I would like to ask all of you; which is better, book or movie?
I have seen Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein on Netflix and though it was a solid movie. However while I was looking for some books to add to my To-Read list, I came across the original Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. I've already seen the 2025 Netflix original, should I still read the novel? I don't necessary know if there is that much of a difference.

Hello. While I am not from Nigeria, I do have an opinion on a certain part of Nigerian Culture/History; Chinua Achebe. I don't know much about him, other than the fact that he is from Nigeria, is a strong critic of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, and also wrote The African Trilogy. More specifically, I would like to dive in his The African Trilogy #1 which is Things Fall Apart. Is this a must read? I apologize if I am not allowed to post literature here but I would like an opinion on this novel.
On another post I made on another subreddit, I asked what were some of the most controversial movies people have seen. One of the comments said Ken Park. I looked at the IMDb Parental Guide and saw that it was Severe across all categories. While this was very explicit, what about the film is exactly controversial? Beside the amount of debauchery, is there anything else behind set or after its release that caused some stir?
I watched Shutter Island for the first time at a sleepover at my house. Personally, I thought the atmosphere and scenery of the setting was very good and helped with the psychological aspects of the movie. I also liked the acting by many of the cast members like DiCaprio, Ruffalo, Kingsley, and Von Sydow. However, the twist at the end kind of caught me off guard and there are some scenes where there is a lot of idle dialogue. Overall, I’d give it a 6.5/10. Ending was clever, but was difficult for me to piece together at the end.
I've gotten many different suggestions from people around me who like movies that should check out They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?: Top 1,000 Greatest Films. While I do trust the credibility of this list, I'm not sure I just want to go from 1000 to 1. What would you all recommend I do to try and tackle this list?
Hello. It is my first time on this subreddit. I've been wanting to get into reading for a little while now. However, whenever I try and tell myself to pick a book and read it, I keep sidetracking severely. I have a really large Goodreads list of what I want to read but because there are some many books that I want to read, I am unable to choose which one to start with. I am also slightly picky about the way the book is written as I struggle to immerse myself in books that have difficult prowse or sentence structures. Could anyone please provide some advice for me? Thank you.
