I just finished ‘The Aprrentice’ which was mindblowingly amazing filmmaking.

I recently also watched ‘Anora’, ‘The Penguin’ & ‘Arcane.

We have Nosferatu, Mufasa, Paddington 3, Mickey 17, LOTR: Animated Film coming out soon.

In TV/Streaming, we have ‘creature commandos’, Secret Level, What if season 3, Day of the Jackal, Squid Game 2 coming out this month.

How is suddenly so much good content coming out consistently.

There is probably lot more good stuff out of my radar.

I seem to be into likeable asshole characters.

I just watched ‘The Apprentice’ and loved Jeremy strongs character in it. Previously I also enjoyed Wolf of Wall Street, the Social Network, Succession, Superpumped.

Suggest more characters that would fall in following category, preferably good films so that I can check them out.

Hello everyone, been looking for a while for the following movie, watched a couple times but don’t remember the name anymore.

Probably 80s/90s

The film opens with a kid looking outside his window, from it he can see industrial cars all branded with the name and logo of the tycoon owner of the factory. He becomes obsessed with it, when older he manages to get close to the daughter of the owner of the factory, secure a job within but then something happens, the wife starts digging in his husband’s life until he tracks him back to his childhood house, at that point it reaches the ugly end back in his childhood bedroom while train and carriages pass in front of his windows.

Also, probably USA/North America - Drama/Thriller Anyone has any guess?

Thanks in advance.

Recently I went on vacation and my grandpa showed me even more classic movies. The last time I was there he showed me:

Rear Window, North by Northwest, Vertigo

And this time he showed me:

Charade, 23 Paces to Baker Street

Charade was amazing. I love Walter Matthau (I had previously seen Grumpy Old Men and was pleasantly surprised).

In case you aren't in the know, the last two are films that weren't, but could've been, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, according to TCM.

We watched them on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) and I'm really enjoying these classic films.

What are your favorite Hitchcock, Hitchcock inspired, James Stewart, Walter Matthau, or classic mystery/thriller movies? I'd love to see more.

Everyone has their own journey through movies, but the more films you watch the more well versed your knowledge of the medium becomes. I thought it’d be interesting to categorize the 5 phases of the cinephile journey based roughly on the number of films you’ve watched. Let me know if you agree or disagree!

Stage One: Casual (1-500 films)

• Your main focus is enjoyment of the film for its entertainment value. You’re finding the universally loved films and they’re taking you on an immersive journey. In the later part of this stage you’re starting to knock off some of the big essentials from your watchlist. 
• Indicator: You’re probably recommending the Social Network to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.
• What goes the hardest: Front page of Netflix and Max

Stage Two: Enthusiast (500-1,000 films)

• You’re starting to look past the mainstream and watching films based on the director, cinematography, etc. You’ve stumbled across some unique personal favorites that will probably dictate how you view movies from here on out. Cult classics go especially hard in this stage.
• Indicator: You’ve officially set up a Letterboxd account.
• What goes the hardest: Prime video deep cuts you only find when searching a different movie.

Stage Three: Analyzer (1,000-2,000 films)

• You’ve found your groove, you know what films you like and what you don’t. You’re starting to finish off some of those director filmographies while discovering the lesser knowns gems. You might have started writing down notes when watching movies. Hopefully you have a friend who has seen this many movies as well or you might start feeling isolated.
• Indicator: A24 Merch
• What goes the hardest: Criterion channel

Stage Four: Cinephile (2,000-4,000 films)

• You have a very solid understanding of film at this point, but the honeymoon phase has officially died. You’re struggling to consistently find something that looks like a good time. You could start a podcast on film at this point and you’ve probably at least thought about it once or twice.
• Indicator: You turned down plans to watch a B&W 4:3 movie
• What goes the hardest: Buying a blu ray of an obscure film you’ve never seen and it’s actually good

Stage Five: Scholar (4,000+films)

• You have seen what you need to see, and probably watched it all more than once by now. You have a whole book worth of ideas and opinions on movies, it’s just a matter of writing them down. You probably consider yourself a historian.
• Indicator: You’re trying to fund that deep, complex screenplay you wrote
• What goes the hardest: Rewatching an obscure foreign film you haven’t watched in at least five years, and that everyone should recognize as a masterpiece by now.

Thank you /u/bikingbill for making my birthday hilarious!

A few days ago I asked if this legend could do birthday requests. My favorite movie of all time is Three Amigos and he actually filled my request for my birthday!

Thank you!

To defend your all time favorite film, what would it be & how would you defend it?

I have been seeing endless reviews for the new Nosferatu film, and I’ve just got to say, it’s frustrating as hell that I’ve been subjected to its perceived quality status before I even had the chance to make up my own mind about it. The film doesn’t release till Christmas, why a month ahead of time are people talking about it/ getting to see it? Like theres so many reviews at this point that I don’t see why they don’t just release the damn movie, it’s ruining the experience, and I just want to view art without another’s lens over it first.

(Side note, regardless of social media, even movie trailers these days boast their Rotten Tomatoes score as a selling point, which to me is useless because I often disagree with their ratings)

I enjoy checking on someone ive not heard of for a while and seeing interesting new projects they’ve got coming up. Just had this with Mr Myers who I’d love to see do different things, but was left flat by what I found. Any other actors you’ve found like this? I’m sure he’ll make a lot of money and have a good time making these, but hoped after his brief stints in doing other things (54/Inglorious etc) he’d try more.

This analysis of American Psycho reveals something profound about human nature that most viewers have missed. Why would someone so desperate to fit in also be driven to such extreme violence? The answer isn't what you think. Beyond the surface narrative of materialism and madness lies a hidden pattern. Once you see it, you'll never watch the film the same way again. More importantly, you might never look at human behavior the same way either. For viewers familiar with American Psycho, prepare to see familiar scenes in an entirely new light. This isn't just another movie analysis - it's a revelation about who we are and why we do what we do
