@Shelter Do you like Michelle Yeoh? (I haven't seen her new movie, I am a fan from back further)
@researchbuzz
Very much. And same.
@Shelter Have you seen Silver Hawk or Wing Chun or Heroic Trio?
@researchbuzz
No, no, and yes.
@Shelter Wing Chun has better fight scenes but in Silver Hawk she jumps over the Great Wall of China on a motorcycle. Do you like psychological horror (as opposed to, like, jumpscare horror)?
@Shelter Anita Mui is a ghost taking revenge in Rouge. Really creepy. Mui is fantastic as always.
@researchbuzz
You just gave me a video with spoilers! π€£π€£π€£
At least it warned so I could back out.
@Shelter Yes, it had a warning!
@Shelter Let me find you something representative with no spoilers, hang on
@Shelter Here's a video, the lyrics are basic "he done me wrong" type stuff but this is a horror movie, that is not a spoiler lol
Dark City
@Shelter The Fall.
@Shelter Not really obscure, but I really loved Amadeus.
@Shelter
I don't think that Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind got nearly the love it deserved
@Shelter Harold and Maude
Buckaroo Banzai (has a cult following but most folks haven't heard of it)
Psychological thrillers:
One Hour Photo (incredibly disturbing performance by Robin Williams, that somehow never seemed to catch on)
Perfect Blue (anime psychological thriller)
Take Shelter
Enemy
Hard Candy
A few horror movies:
A Dark Song (gets ritual magick more right than anything I've seen... also really disturbing)
Session 9
Possum
Let's Scare Jessica to Death
Don't Look Now
I have watched Buckaroo Banzai so many times but my strongest memory is from sitting on the floor re-covering kitchen chairs while watching.
One Hour Photo scared me half to death.
Buckaroo Banzai is my "date test" movie.
If they don't get it, there's little chance we'll get along.
I need my kid to watch it so he understands when shit is going bonkers and I mutter, "Lithium is no longer available on credit."
@Shelter Whale Rider.
@Shelter CHILDREN OF MEN
@Shelter
Troop Zero
Peanut Butter Falcon
@Shelter
βAbout Timeβ (so funny & sad)
βShirley Valentineβ
Laurel Canyon by Lisa Cholodenko (boffo performance by Frances McDormand)
Waiting For the Moon by Jill Godmilow (about Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas)
Harold and Maude
@Shelter Hell and High Water!
That's Chris Pine, right? I need to see it.
@Shelter It is! And it elevated him to my favorite Hollywood Chris.
He's long been mine.
The others aren't even close.
@Shelter He took a decisive lead in the Abrams reboots of Star Trek. H&HW absolutely sealed the deal. He is so good in that.
(He's a better Kirk than Shatner)
Bless his heart.
@stueytheround @Shelter And I still watch the original series. They were WAY progressive. And a lot of his performances were fun to watch, but I can't sniff a turd and call it a rose.
@stueytheround @Shelter I love that the original Michael Myers mask in Halloween is a cheap Shatner mask. And THAT MASK delivers a more emotive and honest performance than the Shat ever has.
Nimoy got a decent performance out of him in The One With The Whales, but most of the time everyone else in the cast runs circles around him.
@Shelter I will die in that fight
@Shelter I feel like a lot of worthwhile older films are becoming forgotten.
"The Life of Emile Zola" won Best Picture and screenplay in1938 and Paul Muni was nominated.
For batshit crazy, I love "Murder, He Says," a comedy from 1945 and "Hellzapoppin" from 1941
Nice. π
@Shelter 1986 Troll with a San Francisco based Harold Potter and father.
@Shelter Reupping this because sometimes looking to watch things
@Shelter
"Sometime in April" is etched into my mind. Its about the Rwandan genocide.
@Shelter Swiss Army Man. I'm just amazed at how so beautiful a movie came from so crude a premise. It's brilliant and beautiful. Paul Dano is amazing in it. Daniel Radcliffe is a superb corpse.
I'm always so happy that Harry Potter money gave Radcliffe the security to really act.
Still hate Rowling.
The Man from Earth is one of the most incredible movies. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Omg.
On it.
@Shelter Another you might enjoy is "interstate 60"
(My ulterior motive is to pin this for people to refer to)
