    Any movies that are similar to the souls games?

    I'm not a gamer and if I were, I wouldn't play such notoriously difficult games. That said, they look really good. The lore and the atmosphere are pretty on-point.

    What movie (or even show, really) reminds you most of the souls games? Thank you.

    Movies about training in swordsmanship?

    Heya, last night i saw 'The Fencer' and I'd love to watch more movies where the story focuses on character(s) training and practicing sword fighting / fencing / kendo - either as a sport discipline or as spiritual path or for purposes of war, any swords techniques from any country. Something like that! Thanks :)

    Cosmic Horror for Wimps

    I am looking for a cosmic horror movie I could watch with someone that isn’t a big horror fan. They told me that the first Insidious is about as scary as they can handle, and they had some nightmares from it. They also find excessivr gore disturbing, so body horror would be a no no for them. I know that’s pretty limiting, but what could I suggest to them that we watch?

    Movies about Stunt Performers

    So, obviously two very different films but I love Hooper and The Fall Guy. Both of which are movies about stunt performers, by stunt performers (starring guys who have previous famous roles as excellent drivers in an odd coincidence).

    Only the latter is essential for what I’m requesting though - other movies about stunt performers, preferably showing them actually do some stunts / behind the magic kinda stuff.

    he likes Orphan, The good son, P2, Christine, From dusk till dawn, but he said he didn't know that these movies are considered horror movies,
    does anyone have suggestions on good horror movies that maybe he would like?

    Recommend me your scariest movies.

    I love horror and have watch a bunch of them. I now want recommendations on movies that you think are really scary. I found the first 3/4 of Barbarian to be the most scared ive ever been watching horror movies. I also really loved autopsy of Jane doe. Supernatural, religious, exorcist movies like hereditary, the exorcist, conjuring, anabelle etc isnt really my thing. I find them boring and not scary. I love intense home invasion movies like "the strangers", "Hush" and "dont breathe" though they arent very scary but I still get very jump scared in them. I also love horror movies with psychological or deeper meanings like 1408 or babadook though I dont find them very scary.

    Sultry Romance/RomCom

    Want something mainstream (not period piece or foreign, cis couple, not dark/violent) with gorgeous people falling in love/lust. Thinking along the lines of atonement but on steroids. Not really looking for something overtly sexual or graphic scenes but just hotness and anticipation. Preferably something at least from the 2020s. Alternatively, movies about women, maybe over 40, maybe single for the first time in a long time exploring new love. Along the lines of eat pray love, or under the Tuscan sun. Bonus points for a little steam.

    Movies that includes scenes inspired by mythology

    As the title says, i'm looking for movies that has scenes or characters that are inspired by mythological/cultural stories or anything like that. Stating the example of snow white where the step mother was so self centered and always looking in the mirror just like narcissus and how the two characters both had the same ending. This is for my french project sous le titre de "Les reproductions mythologiques dans le cinema moderne"

    Uncomfortable movies/movies that'll give me second hand embarrassment

    Could be both or one without the other, movies like "Happiness" "Storytelling" "Being John Malkovich" "Anomalisa" "Synecdoche, New York" "Life During Wartime" and "April's Story" (if I recall correctly had a few awkward moments in that one)

    So movies like listed above, something uncomfortable that makes you squirm a bit. Language of movie doesn't matter but, I would be extra interested in movies that aren't American as I want to see "awkward cinema" around the globe.

    WW2 Movi about Britain

    I want to watch a ww2 movie about Britain. And I don’t want the movie to be too old. I’ve watched many war movies but never about Britain in war so I’m interested in that.

    Georgia Rule - a pleasant surprise! Good movie

    I just watched Georgia Rule and was pleasantly surprised! Based on the trailer, I never felt inclined to watch it, but the actual story offers so much more than it gives off. The film was really good, and I loved the dynamic between Lindsay Lohan, Jane Fonda, and Felicity Huffman.

    I absolutely adore Jane Fonda, especially in her role as the grandmother, and this was one of my favorite Lindsay Lohan performances. Garrett Hedlund’s character was great too, adding a nice injection of comedy and a likeable cute character. It’s a film with a real story, and I thoroughly enjoyed it—everyone’s performance was fantastic!

    Dreamlike, Ethereal, Surreal, Spiritual, and Transcendent Films?

    I'm looking for movies that encapsulate all of these feelings. For example some that I already have in mind that I think best fit this overall feeling that I'm talking about are; Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), The Black Stallion (1979), The Tree of Life (2011), and a lot of David Lynch's stuff like Twin Peaks, Dune, and Blue Velvet.

    Movies with music

    I need a movie where music is part of the plot, something like Baby Driver, how each scene is done to music and it means something to the main character, or how in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies music plays a big part.

    What Frank Tashlin movie would you recommend to somebody who's never seen any of his movies?

    looking for some pre 70's cinema and I found a director who has an interesting background as he started out as a cartoonist and animator and later branched out into live action movie-making. But what would you recommend to a beginner?

    Epic Films, that were made on small budgets

    Yesterday, I saw the Brutalist in 70mm, and was awestruck by how epic and massive the film felt, I thought it was a beautiful and moving film in many ways. What impressed me the most though, was that the film apparently cost about 10 million dollars or slightly less to make, which for a film that feels so grand and epic, is seriously impressive. What are some other movies you guys would recommend that were filmed on rather small budgets, but are considered epics or grand films, perhaps masterpieces?

    Slasher buff

    Suggest me a movie that's giving Mountaintop Motel Massacre meets The Burning. Please!

    I needed a slasher movie from the 80s-90s with teenage fun, short shorts , 80s hair and a good and unapologetic slasher villian.

    Danke!

    Schindler's List

    I'm currently on a Liam Neeson marathon, and after years of putting it off and getting interested in other titles, I finally sat back and enjoyed this gem of a flick. Imo this movie is a masterful work of art and a peak period peace. You don't have to be a history buff to enjoy this.

    Headed South for the Winter

    I’m trying to compile a list of films where the protagonists start out in a winter climate and get out of town to a more sunny climate. Could be some sort of vacation movie? I know there have to be a handful of films that have this basic premise. The only one I can come up with is Jim Jarmusch’s Stranger than Paradise. Any ideas?
