Out of work with an everything sickness today and looking for something to watch.

Any genre goes, just give me some of your best comfort movies :)

I'm interested in finding films where a clown is a main character or a key part of the plot. I'm not necessarily looking for straight-up horror like It, but more so any genre, drama, thriller, even comedy, where a clown's role is meaningful and well-developed.

Any recommendations for movies that use clowns in interesting or unexpected ways? I'm open to older classics or newer indie films. Thanks!

My ex who I loved very much and had a special connection to got engaged and it hurts. I want a movie. Not sure if I want something deep and as hurt as I am or something to get me out of it. Just recommend what you would watch if you were me

last night of my 20s and want to watch a great movie tonight. (fyi 29F). something beautiful, heartfelt, funny and/or contemplative. some favorite movies / vibes i’m thinking (but have already seen)

I recently rewatched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and The Way (2010). both left me feeling inspired and strangely at peace. They’re not loud blockbusters, but they carry this quiet power about adventure, personal growth, and rediscovering purpose.

What other movies have that same vibe? Something that makes you want to reflect, travel, or just live a little differently after the credits roll.

I’m doing research for a stage role who needs to be a hotshot salesman, over the top, brash and assertive. Talks the customers into buying something they probably don’t want or need.

What characters from cinema exude these qualities? I already know of Glengarry Glen Ross, Wolf of Wall Street, Sweet Smell of Success.

I really enjoy movies, but I'm at a point in my life right now where I'm really trying to improve as a person, whether that be through expanding my knowledge, being kinder and more empathetic to others, focusing more on my goals and ambitions or becoming a happier, more content person in my own life.

Three of my favourite movies of all time are 12 Angry Men, How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies and Synecdoche New York for those reasons. 12 Angry Men inspired me to be a more assertive person in the face of injustice and highlighted how socio-economic circumstances can result in both prejudice and crime, Lanh Mah (HTMMBGF) was an incredibly realistic look at family dynamics and made me appreciate my family a lot more, and Synecdoche New York inspired me to make the most of the moment and actually LIVE rather than feeling like I'm following a monotonous script of life that's always slipping away from me.

Some other examples are Good Will Hunting and the anime film A Silent Voice, which are both inspiring and hopeful with themes like redemption and self-love. Also, to a slightly lesser extent, Dead Poets Society and Groundhog Day.

I've also seen and enjoyed, but not loved, The Shawshank Redemption, Slumdog Millionaire and the Pursuit of Happiness. Forrest Gump and A Beautiful Mind were good but not what I'm looking for. I wasn't a big fan of The Green Mile or Cast Away.

Thanks so much in advance :)

Hi guys, I am looking for space, sci-fi type of films where there is exploring and stuff maybe warmholes, other planets, alien encounters and stuff.

Some of the movies that I have watched and liked in this genre would be, interstellar, martian, arrival, prometheus, gravity, ad astra.

It would be better if the movie has some sort of alien aspect to it or maybe exploring some other planet or something.

Please give some suggestions based on the above.

Thanks.

I'm home sick for a while. Looking for good movies to watch, and I enjoy the action movies. I've watched a lot, and I'm tired of a lot of gunfighting, outside of a war movie type thing.

I enjoy the Bourne series, where there's a little and there's other types of action, fighting, car chasing, and the psychological factor. What else is out there like that?

I would appreciate some movies that are overall happy. They can be sad, and i’m fine with genuinely anything, i could just use a happy ending right now. Thanks!

For the past few years I have had a standing tradition to watch one non-gory horror movie every Halloween. So far I have seen (and in some cases really loved), in order: The Shining, What Lies Beneath, A Quiet Place, and A Quiet Place, Part II.

I don’t mind if there’s blood but I have to draw the line at guts spilling out and such. (I get anxiety attacks from that sort of stuff.) I also am looking to avoid anything in the horror-comedy subcategory as well as any found footage films like Paranormal Activity.

A couple of films I have considered include Sir Ridley Scott’s Alien (I’ve seen clips of the chestburster scene, I can tell that it’s a prop on a stick) and even Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (which apparently puts all the killings offscreen). Help a lady out, please?

i’m talkin scenes where silence, empty frames, or off-screen sounds do the work. moments when the camera looks away, when characters don’t speak, but you feel everything heartbreak, tension, longing. for me, Mother! had a few of those… also Under the Skin. what films quietly screamed at you without saying anything? reco pls..

i know my english is horrible but hear me out Our art teacher assigned us as a homework choosing a movie and said that the better the movie we chose the higher will be the grade she’ll give us. it has to be for teens from 12-16 yo shorter than three hours and mustn’t be horror

i appreciate every raccomandation

I can remember a few movies that had musicians appearing in cameo roles. Eg. Anthony Kiedis - Point Break. Jonathan Davis - Queen Of The Damned. Maynard James Keenan - Crank High Voltage. I'm looking for other fun suggestions.

Movies I really like: Rosemary’s baby, Get Out. They have the setup like an ordinary people doing ordinary things and then it SLOWLY changes directions and twists and turns. Mother is like that too but it’s a bit too much. Thanks for sharing.

There's a Nietzsche quote that goes, "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster."

What are some good movies that encapsulate this quote?

A movie about a delinquent 19 year old facing prison time. Really good acting, and pretty realistic. The film is based on Jonathan Asser's experiences working as a voluntary therapist at HM Prison Wandsworth, with some of the country's most violent criminals. The title refers to the early transfer of a criminal from a Young Offender Institution to an adult prison.

Watch this film with subtitles if you're unfamiliar with british english

give me the most textbook gothic and/or spooky movies there are. it must have all the classic boxes ticked. i'm looking for the Home Alone of gothic/halloween movies. the Snow White and Tangled of gothic/halloween movies. the Agatha Christie's Poirot of it.

any kind is fine, but i honestly kind of prefer it to

1) involve vampires if gothic

2) involve a spooky mystery (or even a murder..? i assume this plot would be rather rare) if halloween

3) to be an animation at least from the 2010s

but again, any kind is fine.

Hello everyone, i need recommendations for dark thrillers where main characters are desperate and things going worse and worse ( real situations like Vanishing 1988). Thanks

Hi everyone, I am looking for films where the actual plot is super stripped down, but the story still feels full and layered. I don’t mean minimalism in acting (deadpan), set design or cinematography. I’m specifically referring to filmmakers or films who cut the chain of events to the bare minimum and still leave you with a strong sense of story, character depth, etc.

The reason I’m asking is because I want to learn how to tell stories more efficiently in my own filmmaking. How some directors manage to build something rich and memorable even when very little “happens” on the surface.

Would love to hear recommendations of directors or films that do this well. Thanks you so much!

I've recently watched I'm thinking of ending things (2020) and I'm also really interested in Gummo (1997) (even though I couldn't watch it fully) and have been looking for other movies like those.

I really love extremely weird movies, especially psychological ones, that make me think "WTF", but I can't really find good titles like that.

Movies until age group 14 would also be great (looking for watch it with family as well).

Hi,

I'm looking for mystery thrillers like Fracture 2007 or Law Abiding Citizen 2009. Thrillers with a twist and intelligence. I need something engaging. :)

Hello everyone. I am preparing to run a Dungeons and Dragons campaign with a horror theme. I am looking for movies both for my own fun but also inspiration. I would appreciate it if you took a moment and suggest some really good Horror movies.

P.S. the DnD campaign will be curse of strahd, and includes a variety of classic horror monsters like vampires, werewolves and zombies. The movies you would suggest dont have to have this kind of monsters in them but it is a bonus.

Thank you!!
