  3. If you wish to be banned, do any of the following: Be rude, harass, ignore the subreddit's rules, promote your site/blog/article/channel/etc., promote your app/company, or post about a movie you worked on. This subreddit isn't your link farm.

  4. Due to Administrators' past actions against this subreddit, we have a ZERO tolerance policy regarding piracy. You will be banned if you request or share links to full features, if you ask or inform how to pirate, or if you mention a pirating site/app/etc.

  5. For Requesting posts:

  • Request must be primarily about finding films to watch
  • Use the search bar before making a request
  • Use a descriptive title that lets people know if they might be able to help or not
  • Double check that your request wouldn't be more suitable in one of the subreddits outlined in Rule #8
  • We require a minimum of 125 characters in the body of the post to ensure quality requests and suggestions
  • For Suggesting posts:

    • Suggest a single film, and no more than one every 24 hours
    • Mandatory: Include the title of the film in the title of the post.
    • Encouraged: Use this format: Film Name (Year)

    Just finished Antonioni's alienation trilogy and want some more movies like them.

    Getting into foreign films. Watched a bunch of Kurosawa as a kid but just finished all 3 Antonioni alienation trilogy films (L'Aventura, La Notte, and L'Eclisse). Maybe some more depressing Italian movies or other foreign ones too !

    Movie where main character is depressed

    I want a movie where the main character is depressed or mentally ill, but it “gets better” at the end of the movie. Something similar to Good Will Hunting, Manchester by the Sea, or Girl Interrupted. Any suggestions?

    Looking for Movies Like Big Fish, Forrest Gump, Benjamin Button

    Idk what genre these would be classified as but yeah. I’m also hoping any suggested movies can be found on Amazon Prime, Netflix, or YouTube Premium. I will also take suggestions for romance movies as well (NOT ROMCOMS) maybe something like The Notebook?

    Movies that have a melancholy/introverted mood similar to American Fiction, ideally with a pensive soundtrack and similar cinematography.

    I'm looking for more movies that feel slightly melancholy and introverted, like in American Fiction, with elements of characters staring out into the world, realistic about life's painful moments, having deep talk with other characters, walking through tragedy, could potentially have aspects of dark humor or cynicism.

    Another movie that comes to mind that would fit this would be American Beauty.

    Horror / Suspense movie where the woman isn't weak

    Can anyone recommend a horror / suspense type movie where the woman doesn't let the man do whatever he wants? Feminine rage type movies? I'm so sick so seeing the same ole troupes.

    Movies that would make a good double feature with Lisa Frankenstein

    So, tomorrow nights, I’m hosting a sleepover. For a movie, I was thinking Lisa Frankenstein. I think they’d enjoy it. However, if we decide we want to watch something else, what would be a good companion movie for it? I few ideas I have:

    • the lost boys
    • heathers
    • Jennifer’s body
    • bodies bodies bodies

    Is there any villain you hate worse?

    I was just watching Gladiator for the umpteenth thousandth time and I seem to hate Joaquin Phoenix’s character so much. That line he says about his son and daughter later in the movie is about as bad as it gets. I want to pound his *stupid face into a jelly he irks me so bad. Who are some villains you want to bash their heads in with a pool ball in a sock? You forget that movie is decades old too…

    Movies with Resident Evil 2 remake type vibes?

    Blasted through the game last night, genuinely loved the atmosphere with it being mostly confined to the one location and being slightly dark and gritty. Does anyone think they could suggest something along those vibes? Not participle phased if it includes zombies or not I'm more looking with kinda singular location type stuff with emphasis on creepy and tense atmosphere :] cheers!

    Movies based around Academia. Especially in University and a student developing a talent.

    Movies such as

    Finding Forrester, Gross Anatomy,
    Dead Poet's Society A Beautiful Mind

    Can also be about a lecturer/teacher's perspective.

    Thanks everyone.

    Movies set in the dark, or mainly at night.

    Looking for movies with a nighttime setting. Can be any genre. I like the cozy setting of nighttime. But, off the top of my head right now, I can only really think of 30 Days of Night...not so cozy, ha

    Thanks :)

    Suggest Movies With Soundtracks Similar to the Instrumental Version of 'Was Wollen Wir Trinken' song

    I recently discovered the instrumental version of the song "We're gonna be drinking" (originally "Was Wollen Wir Trinken"), and I was absolutely captivated by its melody and the emotions it evoked.

    I'm on the lookout for good movies, preferably recent ones, released from the 1990s onwards that feature soundtracks with a similar feel or style to this song.

    Music name: We're gonna be drinking (Instrumental)

    Looking for an horror movie that takes place in a haunted or cursed school

    It’s as the title says. I’m looking for some good horror movies that take place primarily, if not only, at a haunted or cursed school. Cause of haunting can be anything, and I don’t mind if it’s an obscure or less-known movie. My only requirements are 1) it’s good and 2) it takes place in a school where supernatural / paranormal events are taking place. Thanks in advance!

    Looking for positive films that will make you cry and have a more positive look at life

    My best friend is going through a really hard time right now and I'm finally able to visit him. I wanted to find something that we can watch together that offers a positive message or outlook on life when things are tough. Something that will make you cry with tears of joy is a plus

    Movies that make you love life

    I’m feeling down in the dirt and have little to no motivation to do anything in life today, I’d love to watch a movie that makes you think about the joys of life, something feel good/easy to watch. Something that makes you forget about your sadness for 90mins or so. Please and thank you 🙏🏼

    Very cozy & high on an edible, suggest a stylized adventure film.

    Saw The Boy and the Heron yesterday and watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood now.

    Seen everything by Akira Kurosawa, Stanley Kubrick, David Lean, Alfred Hitchcock, Ingmar Bergman and Ridley Scott. Love films made by these types of directors. I’ve seen Apocalypto, Master and Commander, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Carawhatever., etc.

    If you could suggest anything rare and satisfying in this genre I’d much appreciate it.

    Horror movie(s) to watch with my teenage daughter.

    We’re looking for something to watch that’s scary but also doesn’t have sex scenes or gore.

    I thought Insidious was great, The Witch, The Exorcist, etc.

    Suggest a movie about young people feeling lost in the world

    I'm thinking about Edge of Seventeen, Beautiful Boy, Frances Ha, Lady Bird, The Worst Person in The World, Cha Cha Real Smooth, etc...

    Basically main characters who's trying their best to live in this world while having no idea what they're doing. Doesn't matter the genre, year, language or anything. Thanks!

    I'm looking for films like The Last Voyage of the Demeter

    LVOTD wasn't exactly a perfect movie but now I really want to watch some other films that A). Feature some sort of monster and B). Ideally take place around the turn of the 19th century. Open to any suggestion however, even if they don't match that criteria exactly!

    Raunchy horror/slasher movies

    Looking for a raunchy horror movie to watch. Something along the lines of "the babysitter" or hostel 1 & 2. This girl I'm seeing loves watching these types of movies when we hang out. Need a good pick! Thanks in advance

    Artsy fantasy movies like Hard to Be a God (2013)?

    On the Silver Globe is another great example of what I'm looking for.

    Only the most bizarre, surreal, niche arthouse epics, pur-lease!

    Or maybe films that ain't niche in the country they were made, but aren't widely known in the west.

    I'm looking for insane matte paintings, nonsensical plots with cross men with swords probably serving as some social commentary, THE MORE OBSCURE THE BETTER.

    To the best response, I grant my first-born child. You're welcome to the damn thing, Rumpelstiltskin.
