Requesting the main character be absolutely miserable

It hard to explain but I want a movie where the main character is utterly miserable and/or depressed. To be more specific, the vibes I’m going for is mostly Tyler Durden and maybe Kristin Stewart’s character in Speak (I can’t remember her characters name at the moment sry)

Looking for movies like The Warriors and Taxi Driver.

I love movies that portray gritty cities in the 70’s and 80’s. I’ve seen quite a few, but I’m looking for your recommendations.

Need a good horror movie recommendation.

I’ve seen most A movie horror films, but if you guys have any recommendations for something that never caught a big audience or just something that isn’t talked about often I’d greatly appreciate it! I often find myself liking demonic/cult/ haunting movies but I’ll watch anything.

Looking for movies that keep you second guessing yourself the whole time... then all the sudden just click

I want movies full of twists and turns that leave you nearly incapable of understanding what's going on but then at the end it all the sudden comes together and suddenly makes sense.

Looking for an interesting and unique/bizarre documentary

True crime is my favorite genre of documentary but any genre is fine as long as it’s truly unique, weird, and/or bizarre. Some quick examples: Tiger King, Tickled, The Imposter, The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia, Crumb. Give me your best docuseries / documentary recommendations.

Like Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank (Essex) or Boy A (Manchester, Blackpool) or Adolescence (Yorkshire). That sort of vibe. Can also be Scotland, Wales or Ireland. United Kingdom

Violent Movies like Conan 1982 (read post)

Mainly I’m looking for bloody fantasy action films with a badass protagonist fighting crazy creatures and cultists with gallons of blood. I’d watch the other Conan projects Beastmaster, or Darkstalker but those don’t really look to bloody and I like a lot of gore and practical effects

Catch me up

I have truly been under a rock and watching comfort movies. 80s, 90s. Casting a wide net here:

The last movies I watched ‘on time’ were Midsommar and Hereditary.

The last thing on my “to watch” list is The Menu.

Saw Oppenheimer and Barbie in theaters.

What am I missing out on? What’s the canon, what’s the lore? I never know any movies when friends and strangers ask. I can’t tell them I was only watching Gattaca again.

EDIT: great lists, killer suggestions rolling in, I appreciate all of you.

I don’t mean to say that these are like the *only* movies I’ve seen, just giving examples of how behind I am. Imagine I was an avid moviegoer that fell slowly into a coma around 2020.

SciFi & Cosmic Horror Movies

hi everyone! I recently got into scifi books and movies, after spending my entire life thinking I hate them. I read and then watched Annihilation and LOVED it. This led me to watch Ex_Machina and Uglies.

Does anyone have any recommendations that would cover or include topics of cosmic horror, space/time, consciousness/human brain, etc. I like movies that give a lot to think about and ponder on. I’m intrigued by the unknown, theoretical type of stuff.
Bonus points if it’s A24, I love their stuff.
Thank you!

comedy movies

i recently watched how to lose a guy in 10 days and i was laughing the whole time because of how extreme it was. i’m looking for more movies like that where it’s just so insane it’s funny. another example of a movie similar that i liked is are we there yet. i’d rather it have a romantic or family plot, but it’s not necessary.

Interesting horror movies for bonding

One of the ways my sister and I bond is with watching horror movies, and we had a good time in February watching Primate despite the gore presented.

I'm looking for horror movies with interesting plots that my sister and I can enjoy from 2000 and beyond. There are some restrictions however:

  • Preferably nothing demonic, no matter the religion, or cultish. (e.g, Ready or Not, Undertone, Midsommar, etc.)
  • Body horror and gore in general is fine, unless there's too much to stomach (Terrifier is an exceptional example)

Movies with female monsters

So, as a part of my final for my British literature class, we had to do a researched analysis paper over two of the books we read in class. I chose to do my paper over the female monsters in Dracula and Coraline. in the last paragraph of my paper, I wanted to mention some recent examples of female monster stories, but all I could really think of was the movie barbarian (which I know is a very complex example, but based off the definition of monster, she had us using class, it fit).

So, I want to broaden my knowledge on the topic. I really enjoyed writing that research paper, so I would love to continue my research.

Normal (2026)

How did this movie bomb so hard?

Saul Goodman(Bob O) goes to a small town in Minnesota called Normal, population around 1,800, as a temporary sheriff, and slowly gets embroiled in a complete shitstorm.

First half is a slow burn, but the movie is solid. The second half has some really cool action scenes, and honestly, I enjoyed this more than Nobody 2.

We need more movies like this once in a while just to change the flavor. Not every action movie needs to be nonstop explosions or fast paced with hyper cuts from beginning.

This one really did not deserve to bomb that badly.

Give it a shot.
