Movie Recommendations - not necessarily too hot

just damn good - American Animals
modern western - Hell or High Water
Fav Jamaican - Countryman
low budget sci fi double feature - resolution + the endless

 

Brick - Riaan Johnson’s first film starring Joseph Gordon Leavitt. Whodunit/Film noir
Primer - Film about time travel made for $7000.

 

I see too many movies. I'll limit this to what I've see this year.

Must See:

I'm Thinking of Ending Things (thought proving)
The Wolf House (Artistic)
Train to Buson (Zombies done right)
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (twisted western)
Beanpole (bleak)


Worth Watching:

Lake Eden (Suspense)
The Endless (low budget decent)
Goodtime (train wreck)
Come True (80's/90's synth retro)
Spontaneous (creative) *This is a covert anti-woke film*
Mandy (twisted fun)
Creep 2 (horror comedy)
Under the Skin (better than expected)
The Void (C grade Cosmic Horror)
Calibre (moral quandary)

 

liked both of those movies.

 

Romantic sci fi...will make you think and feel, but not that much.

the one that I love
About time
Safety Not Guaranteed
-all on Netflix last time I checked.

 

I really like how you provide genre with film. Thanks.

 

I liked SNG & I cried at the ending of About Time - possibly the sweetest time travel movie

 

I love Withnail and I, so maybe I’m not the right person.

But I do have a movie that no one knows that is unique, hilarious, and amazing: Castaway on the Moon. It is South Korean, so you have to be ok with subtitles.

Alternatively, I guess I must mention the movie in my avatar: Bottle Rocket. It’s Wes Anderson’s first movie, and the acting debut of his friends Owen and Luke Wilson. Hilarious also.

 

liked both of those low budget sci fi. Any others?

 

Bluke, I had no idea that we were movie buddies. On the theme of sci-Fi Rom coms:

Palm Springs is pretty awesome. Only on Hulu I think.

The infinite man is also worthwhile in that genre. Low budget Australian film.

 

Synchronic is by the same director, its pretty solid too.

 

Action movies on Netflix I didn’t hate:

Shot Caller (decent and worth finishing)

Blue Ruin ( slow burn, cool revenge movie that makes sense)

The guest (another okay movie worth the finish)

 

I've seen several lately...names are escaping me, remember these 2

The Signal - pretty good
Sweetheart - not so great

 

Best low budget (and lowest budget!) sci fi is Primer, IMO.

The same people that made the endless helped to make a unique movie set in Florida called “After Midnight”. I loved that one too.

 

I did see Palm Springs and liked it. Cool take and I love Groundhog Day so....

 

Loved Captain Fantastic, which I swear was inspired at least in part by JT's "Enough to be on Your Way" from Hourglass

 

I loved Blue Ruin. The same guy made one I like even more called Green Room. It was on Amazon Prime.

 

Thought Hell or High Water was highly underrated

 

I definitely wept at conclusion of About Time, but thought it was mostly a feel good flick.
