    No hope type movies

    I know I'm basically asking for spoilers with this type of movie, but try not to share anything other the title and genre.

    I am looking for movies with an unhappy to extremely unhappy ending. Maybe everyone dies or maybe the main character is in a no win situation (The killing of a sacred deer).

    Movie Suggestions Like Body of Lies (2008), American Sniper,Lone Survivor (2013) – Intense War/Thriller

    Hi everyone! I'm looking for movie recommendations similar to Body of Lies (2008). I really enjoyed the intense atmosphere, the war setting, and the focus on tracking down specific cases or people. I’m especially interested in films that blend thriller elements with investigative work in a war or conflict setting.

    Any suggestions for movies with a similar vibe? Thanks in advance!

    Movies that explore how a lack of social responsibility can lead to violence

    Looking for movies that explore how a lack of social responsibility leads to violence. Interested in films that dive into themes of societal neglect, apathy, or individual irresponsibility and how these can escalate tensions or fuel destructive behavior. Would love any recommendations!

    Movies like National Treasure / Tomb Raider/ The DaVinci Code

    I don’t know if the theme is clear here, but I am looking for movies that combine mystery, action, archaeology etc. but then good

    I liked how the DaVinci Code and National Treasure had elements of real world artifacts and places etc.

    If you feel like there’s a movie with fantasy/sci-fi elements that fits the vibe, they are welcome.

    Series are also welcome

    One sided Love Stories !

    I'm 19(M) & I fell for a girl who was already in a relationship . Now as we have become friends I can't confess to her ever. So is there any movie with similar plot where the protagonist can't confess or even if he does he gets rejected . It should be an emotional one.

    Dramas that have been slept on

    Drama is my favourite genre in film. It’s all about the screenplay and acting for me. Let me know some of your favourites but also consider the lesser known movies that no longer get any recognition. Please also suggest underrated dramas that deserve recognition.

    Looking for a missing persons movie where the plot revolves around the mystery of trying to find them

    I’ve already watched:

    -Searching (2018)

    -Missing (2023)

    -Gone Baby Gone (2007)

    -Prisoners (2013)

    -Hardcore (1979)

    -8mm (1999)

    -Mystic River (2003)

    And I started watching Angel Heart (1987) but couldn’t get into it because I’m really not into supernatural type stuff. I’m also not a fan of gang wars and gang related disappearances.

    I really want something about a person who disappears/mysteriously goes missing and another character has to find out what happened to them, why, who did it, and where they are (dead or alive).

    Realistic one-man army movies

    John Wick for example. I want movies where the protag doesn't just jump in head first into gunfire while spraying and praying all over the place with a somehow infinite amount of rounds in his mag. They use tactics and their brains to win their battles.

    Movies like "The Parent Trap"

    Would anyone suggest me a film like The Parent Trap and Uptown Girls? I don't know what specific genre these type of movies are and I've always just been watching thrillers (new and old) and Jim Carrey films so it's kinda new to me. These movies screams comfort in ways that I can't even verbalize. I would appreciate all recommendations!

    Requesting a movie that takes place *during* Halloween!

    Any genre really, but it’s a plus if it’s a thriller/horror or a comedy. I want the movie to take place specifically around/during Halloween, so not just any slasher horror movie that’s associated with Halloween simply because it’s scary.

    Halloween night movie suggestions

    What should we watch tomorrow?

    Good evening horror fans, I need your help!

    My wife is a causal horror fan while I am a hardcore fan. This posses a problem because there are tons of films i could suggest we watch, but only certain movies resonant with her. Most movies either lack good acting or quality story telling for her or both, but October is the month where she's open to watch just about anything. She wants to get creeped out. She's a teacher, but she is down to watch 2 horror flicks when she gets home. Which 2 would you recommend?

    What she's seen so far?

    A nightmare of elm street (2010) - Thought it was scary.

    The Innkeepers

    Halloween (2007) - The original John Carpenter one is her favorite horror film of all time. Didn't like the remake

    The Conjuring 1, 2, 3 - Scariest series she's ever witnessed

    Annabelle - Thought it was scary

    The Nun

    Halloween 3: Season of the Witch

    A Quiet Place 1, 2, 3 - She loves the first one

    Poltergeist (1982) - One of the scariest films she's seen.

    Sinister

    Them - loved season 1 more than 2

    Get Out

    Us

    House on Haunted Hill

    House on Bly Manor

    If i didn't comment on the flick that means she didn't think too highly of the movie or show. Gore and guts won't get much play if it's over the top, so movies like the Terrifier won't make it.

    So I've laid out as much as I can think of at the moment.

    Any recommendations for 2 good scary movies? I'm currently thinking Hellraiser 1 & 2, but would love other opinions and it does have to be a series.

    I’m looking to watch a terrible mean spirited comedy. Similar vibes to Windy City Heat, Norbit, White Chicks. Just so mean and ridiculous for no reason.

    Seeking Movie Suggestions for Teen Girls to Understand the Risks of Fascism

    Hey everyone,

    I’m in a bit of a sticky situation. I work for a nonprofit that helps specifically teen girls with extensive trauma, many of whom are undereducated Black teens. This isn’t to demean them; it’s just the reality of the demographic I work with. Unfortunately, the public school system and other systems designed to care for our youth have largely failed them.

    As the election nears, I’ve been hearing some concerning agreement with far-right views. I’m not looking to dive into a political discussion, but these ideas can be harmful, especially toward marginalized communities. I can’t push back as much as I’d like, but I’ve noticed many of them are painfully misinformed. For example, I recently had to explain the separation of church and state and Project 2025. They have a lot going on in their lives, and understandably, watching the news isn’t really their thing.

    I think a movie followed by a discussion could help them understand that fascism is a slow progression and that we’re currently emulating some of those steps in our own government. I initially considered films like The Diary of Anne Frank or Schindler’s List, but I’m worried they might not connect with those stories, given the different time, race, and country.

    So, I’m looking for suggestions for films that depict similar themes but are set in the United States or feature characters they might relate to more. I’m open to any and all ideas! Thanks for your help!

    Can you recommend a spooky stoned movie?

    I’m in the mood to watch a movie with a good amount of stoner humor mixed with a soooky vibe. I’m okay with horror, dark comedy or the like. I’ve seen the first few movies in the Scary Movie franchise and had a good time so something along those lines.

    Strange Darling

    This is the surprise ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ movie of the year for me. Amazing acting, dialogue, music and story. Inspired by some of Tarantino’s works, but a 💎 that stands alone. I highly recommend this movie for someone looking for a thriller and tension that builds throughout. I don’t want to say anymore and you should go into this completely blind (don’t watch a trailer or movie review).

    Looking for a creepy & psychological movie to watch on Halloween

    I just watched Midsommar a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it and how creepy it was! Apparently it's a genre called folk horror. I watched Doctor Sleep last Halloween and loved that one as well. I'm a big fan of psychological horror movies that fuck with your head. What would you all suggest?
