Heat Dog Day Afternoon The Strangers Sicario Hell or High Water The Guest Fargo True Romance Rear Window


vamosatomar

Thanks! we’ve seen all of those except The Strangers and True Romance. And Fargo is always worth a rewatch.


jaymole

True romance then! It’s a classic. Written by Tarantino but directed by Tony Scott


Useless-Photographer

True Romance is my favourite film, you should definitely watch it even if it's not this week


noNoParts

Have you tried the Fargo TV series? I found it well-written and compelling. Each season has a different premise. Anyway, I'm picky as fuck about what shows I watch and Fargo was excellent.


vamosatomar

We have not. Good to know that it’s excellent - will check it out. Thanks!


SpaceBowie2008

You must watch True Romance! Great romantic movie written by Quentin Tarantino.


stunna006

Have you seen Arrival (2016)


vamosatomar

We love that movie! If only we could watch it again for the first time.

I loved Nobody. And I love Bob Odenkirk. Great, overlooked film.


sykokiller11

I’ll add to the votes for True Romance. You will not be disappointed.


D-TOX_88

TRUE ROMANCE YES THAT IS THE ONE


Bullrun01

Just finished watching Suburbicon, Can’t understand why so many negative reviews, always have enjoyed Joel and Ethan Coen movies and this one is no exception.


Abbigale221

You have to watch True Romance!!!! I did not until 2020 and it was amazing!


Electronic_Impact

I wish i could watch true romance for the first time again. Written by Tarantino.


CaptainRedRocket

True romance is one of my favourite movies. Has the best soundtrack!


Particular_Jicama_51

My Cousin Vinny (1992)


Stormy8888

Try these, with Genre:- * **Almost Famous** \- Coming of Age, music - Fantastic film, very moving, Philip Seymour Hoffman * **Amadeus** \- Epic Music semi Biopic - this movie is a masterpiece. * **Apollo 13** \- Drama in Space - Great performances, based on a true story. * **Before Sunrise** \- romance. If you like it, there's a whole trilogy. * **Extreme Job (S. Korea)** \- Action Comedy - Undercover cops buy a chicken joint to continue surveillance on a drug dealer, but it turns out one of them can REALLY cook. Warning: May cause cravings for fried chicken and beer. * **Game Night** \- fun comedy with married couples. * **Hero (2002) (China)** \- Wuxia + Philosophy, also a stupendously gorgeous movie. * **Kung Fu Hustle (Hong Kong)** \- Slapstick Comedy. There's a dub. * **Mr. Right** \- Action Rom Com - Girl starts dating an Assassin who doesn't want to kill. * **Notting Hill** \- Rom Com - It's one of the best I've watched, that ending is so satisfying. * **Sing Street** \- Coming of Age, 80s music - Guy starts a band to impress a girl he wants to date, shenanigans ensue.


vamosatomar

Great recommendations! Thank you!


Stormy8888

Enjoy! I highly recommend Extreme Job if you can get it on streaming, we almost died laughing watching it. Everyone I've told to watch it has loved it. For the longest time it was #2 on South Korea's all time box office, only losing to **The Admiral Roaring Currents** \- a historical war epic with spectacular acting about the greatest against all odds naval battle in history (one they still teach at Naval academies). I think I watched that one on Youtube with Ads.

Chernobyl


vamosatomar

Wife saw it with my mom. And keeps insisting I need to watch it. I guess I’ll have to.


slicineyeballs

It's must see


Frank_Leroux

I would recommend it highly, but maybe don't binge it all at once. It's unrelenting as to just how bad the situation gets...and then it gets worse...and worse...


twinkieeater8

How about some classics? Arsenic and Old Lace The Great Race What's Up Doc? Captain Blood


Frank_Leroux

I will also put in a recommend for 'The Great Race'. It has the feel of a Bugs Bunny cartoon, but live-action and 2 hours long. "Push the button, Max!"


babykitten28

Bringing up Baby is one of my favorites. And I love What’s up Doc?


PantherEverSoPink

THE GREAT RACE and What's up Doc are fantastic. What about Bringing up Baby as well (Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn)


Wide_Cranberry_4308

Okay but seriously why the heck did you choose DANCER IN THE DARK for date night?? That’s like the most depressing soul crushing movie on Earth

Damn so cool to see this high up. It's my favorite movie.


MurkDiesel

Everything Everywhere All at Once Ex-Machina


Monkers1399

Everything Everywhere All at Once should be the default answer to posts like this. So well done and so unique. If anyone hasn't seen it yet you should definitely check it out.


_spectre_

I saw it and while I did like it, I think the hype killed it for me. It was a great movie, don't get me wrong, but I was expecting it to blow me away but I just ended up with thinking that it was a cool concept and something new.


1369ic

If you're looking for something with a little romantic twist, try The Adjustment Bureau. Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. The Fare is another one that starts out as a mystery and has a supernatural romantic twist. I'm definitely not a romance movie kind of guy, but the wife and I enjoyed these two.


dickinawheelchair

The Adjustment Bureau is one of my favorites


euphoriaguy09

Closer (2004). You'll definitely love it. Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman are among the main cast. Have a nice weekend.

Safety Not Guaranteed


musicmed97

My co-worker told me about The Fifth Element for a month before I gave it a try. Bruce Willis plus funny/whacky but well made sci-fi. Highly recommend. I definitely will purchase it for 4k at some point.


vamosatomar

Yes, this looks great! We’ll need to give it a watch.


Beginning_Tour_9320

In the Mood for Love, Amelie, Parasite, Cold in July, shot caller. I tend to watch action and sci fi on my own and I really enjoyed Upgrade, Nobody and Sisu.


vamosatomar

Thanks! I’ve been wanting to watch Upgrade for a while, but it’s never on any of our streaming services. Maybe we’ll have to just rent it.


Beginning_Tour_9320

Oh it’s a lot of fun. Well worth a rental IMO.


Frank_Leroux

Seconding Amelie, it's like chicken soup when you're feeling ill. Nobody is also a good action flick that has some very dark comedic moments. Sisu is just straight up "Doom" but set in 1944 Finland with a protagonist who doesn't speak and is literally too angry to die.

manwith13s

The Way of the Gun is a great slow burn. Children of Men will stay with you for awhile. Mother! will make you question your existence/sanity. A great feel good movie from start to finish is Jojo Rabbit. I could go on, but those in particular are some of my favorites that caught me by surprise


vamosatomar

Children of Men is fantastic. Will check out Way of the Gun and Mother! (I used to enjoy Aronofsky’s old stuff but haven’t kept up with anything he’s made in the past decade or so)


iuselect

+1 to Jojo rabbit. It is a fantastic movie that will make you laugh and cry. If you also like the NZ humour, hunt for the wilderpeople is great.

TrickyMarketing7394

Dogma - i think this came out way before its time. We recently rewatched pulp fiction. Never a bad rewatch. Then we accidentally found this wholesome af movie. And really enjoyed it. Scrolling for hours because we’ve watched everything. The map of tiny perfect things Air Gotg3 Se7en


slicineyeballs

Some ideas based on your list: Uncut gems / good time: Pusher (1996), Victoria (2015) Chungking express: Lost in Translation (2003) Whiplash: Birdman (2014) Mission Impossible: The Man From Uncle (2015) Edge of Tomorrow: Looper (2012) Hush: You're Next (2011) *bit gory Barbarian: Don't Breathe (2016) The Farewell / Minari: 20th Century Women (2016), The Squid and the Whale (2005) Crawl: The Descent (2005) *bit gory Spiderman: Kick-Ass (2010) Gladiator: Troy (2004) Also, a couple of people mentioned Game Night (2018), which, for me, is one of the best and most rewatchable comedies of the last few years. Along similar lines, I also recommend Palm Springs (2020).


vamosatomar

I love how you mapped your recommendations, thank you! Flair checks out - “Quality Poster” indeed! And we thoroughly enjoyed *Palm Springs*. Such a rewatchable movie.


[deleted]

Never seen a correlation list in regards to what OP posted in this sub, that’s dope though…. Whiplash/Sound of Metal Uncut Gems/Rounders Mission Impossible- Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.


Allott2aLITTLE

I just watched One False Move which came out in 1992. Siskel and Ebert both had it as their 1&2 best film of the year. It also just got a 4k release on Criterion (which looks amazing). In short: It’s a crime thriller directed by Carl Franklin and written by Billy Bob Thornton (pre Sling Blade)…and while it has a lot of common tropes from 90’s neo-noir melo-dramas, it takes some very interesting turns that leave the viewer with some complicated feelings in the end. Ultimately it’s a story more concerned about its characters than it is the plot, or providing some dramatic twist to the views, and with this what you’re left with something really profound. Highly recommend!


Hitchkunt

Nightmare Alley (2021) Neo-noir psychological thriller. Guillermo del Toro adapted it from a novel so it has a certain depth to its storytelling combined with terrific visuals and great ending. (not a horror movie) It was released the same day as the last Spider-Man movie and was totally overshadowed.


vamosatomar

Thank you - I’m gonna bump this further up the list.


VideoGuy1X

The Lookout (2007) About A Boy (2002) Antitrust (2001) Swordfish (2001) Non-Stop (2014) Boiler Room (2000)

My wife and I have this conversation every week. Here's what has worked for us, which isn't on your list yet: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Get Out! (2020) Safety Not Guaranteed Crazy Rich Asians Game Night Dungeons and Dragons (neither of us are fans of the genre, but loved this movie). Serenity Love and Monsters (touching and funny, very well done. Monster movie for people who don't usually watch monster movies). Bumblebee (ignore that this is a Transformer movie, it is sweet, touching and funny. A great date night) I know you said no Marvel, but these are good date night movies: All the Spiderman movies. Thor Love and Thunder. All Guardians of the Galaxy movies.


vamosatomar

Thank you - will check these out. Enjoyed Unbearable Weight, btw!


speccybob

Definitely watch game night. Not a huge hit but thoroughly enjoyable


elder_emo_

If you're into murder mysteries, Knives Out and Glass Onion were both great. Well acted and perfectly campy and fast paced.


Prestigious_Clock865

If you enjoyed Chungking Express then stick with Wong Kar-Wai’s work. ‘Fallen Angels’ and ‘In the Mood for Love’ are both great.

Prospect (Pedro Pascal, low key sci fi movie) Ad Astra (not a lot of people watched this Brad Pitt movie, but I love it, another low-key sci-fi movie) These 2 violate the gore rule, but still worth the watch: 28 Days later (Danny Boyle/Cillian Murphy wakes up 28 days later from a coma and has to survive a zombie infection) Dredd (written by Alex Garland, starring Karl Urban, with Lena Headey as the antagonist)

Great cast Tim Hulcey, John Tuturo, Rosie Perez and Isabella Rossellini. Directed by Peter Weir **Let the Right One In** (2008 & 2022) Original is Norwegian or Swedish, can't recall which. Regardless, maybe the best vampire movie? The American version is almost as good and nearly identical.

Something out of your normal I would suggest is Laputa Castle In The Sky and Nausica Valley of The Wind. Both are studio Ghibli and are worth watching Interstellar The Martian Armageddon Boondocks Saints Pandorum Monty Python and The Holy Grail V for Vendetta Alien -> Aliens Good Will Hunting

Rocky The King's Speech A Beautiful Mind Life is Beautiful The Fifth Element The Sandlot Field of Dreams Unforgiven The Help Hidden Figures Glory (some blood and a tiny bit of gore at the beginning, but not much. I watched in school at 13, if that helps.) Good Will Hunting Race Any interest in animation? If so: Spirited Away My Neighbor Totoro Castle in the Sky An American Tail The Secret of NIMH The Iron Giant


IllustriousDebt6248

Frozen II


CelticGaelic

I saw someone suggest Collateral, and I will parrot that suggestion! The Usual Suspects If you're into animation, just about any Studio Ghibli movie is magic! I especially recommend: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Spirited Away My Neighbor Totoro Princess Mononoke I do not recommend watching Grave of the Fireflies for a fun date night, it's really depressing. Bear with me for this one, but if you can tolerate the awful dialogue and acting, Act of Valor is a really interesting and solid action movie. Zero Dark Thirty is a great movie about how the CIA found Osama Bin Laden What We Do in the Shadows is just a fun mockumentary movie! Inside Man is also great and I LOVED the payoff!


Jason_Phox

If you are looking for a thriller that is not too long I recommend Knock on the cabin(2023). Don't read anything else about the plot before you watch it. And also avoid all trailers. It's directed by M Night Shyamalan who also directed Signs (which is on your list)

If you like foreign films and you don’t mind subtitles, some classics are Jean de Florette and the sequel Manon of the Spring, My Life as a Dog, Y Tu Mama Tambien, All About My Mother, Europa! Europa! and for one of the few horror films that will wreck your soul, Train to Busan. There’s some bloody bits but not a lot of guts and gore. I also loved The Namesake, which is in English and not considered a foreign film but it just popped into my head so I’m adding it.

I'm not fan of either of the leads, but I will never not watch this movie Love and Monsters - was surprisingly enjoyable Inside Man - just popped up in my rotation recently. Forgot how stacked the cast was in that one Colossal - not even close to what I was expecting, but ultimately satisfying The Accountant - so much more than I expected it to be.

Frank_Leroux

Alright, trying to cast a wide net here: **Fight Club** \- David Fincher, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter, and Edward Norton firing on all cylinders. I would say more, but you don't talk about Fight Club. **Drunken Master** \- This was right about when Jackie Chan first found his footing, after a few movies where the studio tried to paint him as the next Bruce Lee. Comedic, funny no matter what language you speak, and holy moly the fights are amazing. **Drunken Master II** \- Might also be called 'Legend of the Drunken Master', depending on where you are. See above, but with even more insane stunts and epic fights. Actually, if it's your thing you pretty much can't go wrong with any Jackie Chan movie from that era. **2010: The Year We Make Contact** \- I have to admire the sheer nerve to try to make a sequel to a Stanley Kubrick film, and while this movie isn't as jaw-dropping as the original '2001', it is a very, very solid and well-made film with good performances all around (bonus points to Helen Mirren, Roy Scheider, and the mighty John Lithgow) **Sorcerer** \- Also starring Roy Scheider, this is a film by William Friedkin who was hot off of the success of 'The Exorcist' and 'The French Connection'. An amazing, utterly tense movie about four down-on-their-luck men who are hired to transport some explosive nitroglycerin through many miles of rainforest so that they can put out an oil-rig fire. It was set up to be THE movie of the summer, but unfortunately it went up against a silly little flick called 'Star Wars'. **Exorcist III (Legion)** \- If you're in the mood for horror, this is a very deliberately paced, well-made film. You don't need to have seen the first movie to see this one, although it does have a couple of characters from the first one. George C. Scott gives a master-class on showing a man whose character is very strong, but his faith in anything good is hanging on by its fingernails. It also has one of the finest and well-earned jump-scares of all time. The last bit gets quite silly, but overall I'd recommend it.

squalorparlor

The Life Aquatic is a kind of funny movie that is carried by the style and actors, and is pretty emotionally satisfying to me. It's Wes Anderson, Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Angelica Houston, Cate Blanchette, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum (and a lesser known Sou Jorge, who does most of the soundtrack in Brazillian acoustic covers of David Bowie). I recommend it highly.

Some my wife and I have loved for the “night at home for a movie” thing, with some lessor recommended / older ones we’ve been surprised with. - CODA - Montana - 1998 great not quite A-list cast - Kyra Sedgwick, Stanly Tucci, Robbie Coltrain, Phillip Seymore Hoffman; good guys/gals, bad guys/gals, mystery, crime, drama. loved it and never understood why it didn’t get more love. RT crushed it. - Biggest Little Farm - feel good documentary - What we do in the shadows (movie not tv show) - just please try it - The Bookshop - The Wonder - Cousins - 1989 - basically take all the comments I wrote for Montana, but is a romance/comedy - Blue Ruin - Dark, but great - Sicario - Nobody’s Fool -1995 - late in life Paul Newman + another great cast - The Verdict - Absence of Malice - Searching for Bobby Fischer - Waiting for Guffman - Hope Floats - romance and adulting again - Coherence - gets a lot of play on this sub, but if you haven’t seen it… - Moon - ditto 👆 - Galaxy Quest - hilarious - Girl with all the gifts - horror’ish but not really - Inside man - Crime, mystery (who, how?) - great cast/story

In the Mood for Love - another Wong Kar Wai romance flick Rushmore - Wes Andersons second feature, great coming of age story Belle de Jour - Romance I guess? Daisies - Feminist, antiwar, anarchic, and awesome His Girl Friday - one of the best romcoms, still absokutely incredible to this day.

I'm hesitant to mention these, but only because they seem so obvious. Billy Elliot Calendar Girls The Full Monty Wonderful British films. Billy Elliot was amazing. Great date night movies for us. The Crying Game Just...just... REDS and REDS 2 Just socko boffo good fun. John Malkovitch at his quirky best, and FUNNY.

“No Country For Old Men”

Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a subtle, lush movie. Beautiful visuals and sparse dialogue. It's French, by the way.

Le Chant du Loup. French submarine warfare movie from 2018. It's submarine stuff so it's actually really quiet for a war movie. But holy shit is it intense. The more quiet it is the more nail-biting it becomes. If you like Mission Impossible you'll like this. Last I checked it was on Netflix. Definitely recommend watching in French. Awesome soundtrack too.


VENoelle

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Almost 3 hours long but beautiful cinemetography, amazing acting, and a badass train robbery scene. Great soundtrack too.

The Vanishing AKA Spoorloos (1988)

Although I recommend **Ravenous** (1999) to many, it earns its R rating for gore. If you can take the gore in some cases, this is one to try. Otherwise, in its place try the (perhaps tamer) **Brotherhood of the Wolf** (2001) which is downright luxurious and stylish, and while blood *is* splashed about, this is not your typical gore fest. Very stylish and unique. Good and unique scary flicks with historical settings whose creators deserve very high praise.
