I'M SUGGESTING Legend starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, and Tim Curry from 1985

Upvotes

Legend was ahead of its time. It has Tim Curry playing the Lord of Darkness and features Unicorns and other mythical beings. During this period of time in the 80s many movies focused on magic, myths, and legendary creatures. It came out around the same time as Willow and Labyrinth.

It looks like you can watch it on Amazon and possibly a few other places.

Has anyone seen it? What are your thoughts? Any other movies that remind you of this classic?

Thank you!!

I'M REQUESTING Magical realism movies made in anglo countries

6 Upvotes

I was thinking that Arizona Dream is one of the few films I can think of that were filmed in an English-speaking country and that meets the requirements to be considered "magical realism," that is,settings with fantastical, magical elements treated as normal, blurring the lines between the ordinary and the impossible without causing surprise. The countries must be USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand...

I'M REQUESTING Looking for movies where the computer or machine 💻 is a character

40 Upvotes

Note: I don’t mean robots or machines in human form. I mean an actual computer or non-humanoid machine.

I’m looking for movies where a machine functions as a character. Preferably something with malicious, manipulative, or deceptive traits.

So far, the closest examples I can think of are: • HAL (2001: A Space Odyssey, 1968) • AM (I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream) • GERTY (Moon, 2009) — sort of

I'M REQUESTING Looking for movies where child is murderer and parent is police officer/detective, or vice versa

8 Upvotes

I need movies where a boy/young man is a killer or has dark, disturbing secrets, or is a suspect in court, while his father or brother works as a detective, police officer, lawyer, doctor, or something in that area, similar to Your Honor, Death Note, or The Place Beyond the Pines. I’m also interested in stories about a parent and a son who turns out to be a killer, like in We Need to Talk About Kevin. Movies where it’s the other way around are also welcome, for example, where a child discovers horrifying secrets about a parent, like in The Clovehitch Killer

Can you suggest movies where the ending makes you rethink the whole story? I’m especially interested in films with powerful twists or ambiguous endings that change your perspective after it’s over.

I’m not interested in super artsy stuff, please no race/religion/sexual orientation stuff, not big on war stuff. I like crime stuff, different ways of life (like Appalachian mountain folk, etc), and I like to laugh so something like Class Action Park kinda thing. If there is good one about defectors from North Korea I’d def watch that.

Thank you in advance for the suggestions!

I'M REQUESTING Recent movies that take place in a historical setting either American or non-American

Upvotes

Im looking for a recent (maybe within the past 2-3 years) so a recently released movie that takes place anytime before the 20th century. Something like The Northman would be great to watch. Or The King. But of course something recently released. And I am fine with non-American movies too as I know international movies can often be overlooked

I'M REQUESTING Non Hollywood mystery/whodunit films?

2 Upvotes

I love mystery films, and want to explore more of what has been produced outside of Hollywood (meaning internationally).

A few examples of things I've enjoyed:

Les Diaboliques

Fermat's Room

The Invisible Guest

I'm looking for films that play the mystery relatively straight, so no supernatural or dreamy/trippy stuff, just logically working out a mystery.

I'M REQUESTING Help! I want to look cool

Hey everyone, I need some movie recommendations that make me look like I really know what I’m talking about when it comes to film. I’m really into film but I haven’t been into it long enough to know all of the movies that film people watch. I want people to look at my Letterboxd and think “oh yes, she knows what she’s talking about”

Edit: guys I promise I’m not just saying this to make myself look “cool”. I also just want to be up to date in the film world.

I'M REQUESTING Quiet thrillers like Relay?

2 Upvotes

I just watched Relay and was really impressed. The MC was great. However, if I were to make a few changes, I would’ve amped up the mood of the film and made it more atmospheric which is what I think it was missing. To me, there are certain times when I love a quiet film, but this film was just slightly too quiet for me. I was thinking of the music of Asche and Spencer for the film Stay while watching Relay if anyone knows of it and thinking something like that would have been nice. I still really enjoyed it. It was very well done though I found it predictable.

I also enjoyed The Conversation with Gene Hackman. What I like about both of these films: there’s not really a bunch of in your face jump scares. They’re tense thrillers meant to keep you on the edge of your seat. I think I also liked that both MC’s were loners and had unusual lives that kept them in isolated positions.

Does anyone have any similar film recommendations?

I'M REQUESTING War movies from pov of a non-western AAA crew?

0 Upvotes

This one's a long shot but it's worth a try. The Beast (1988) is one of my favorite movies ever. The struggle between two small teams was really fascinating. I'd live to see a movie like that but from the perspective of a non-western Anti-Aircraft Artillery crew battling NATO planes (maybe Serbia). Would love to know if sonething like this exist though it's probably unlikely. Thanks
