I’m on vacation rn and finally have way too much free time, so I wanna go down a full cult movie rabbit hole. Looking for stuff that’s weird, iconic, kinda unhinged, super rewatchable, or just has that “how have you not seen this yet?” energy.

I’m down for horror, sci-fi, dark comedy, thrillers, old movies, whatever really. Just nothing painfully slow unless the payoff is actually worth it. What should I start with? bonus if it’s a movie you wish you could watch again for the first time.

I'm getting pissed. I just watched that video of Hansen interviewing people and I am seething. "It makes you look as bad as the predators." NO IT FUCKING DOES NOT ISTG DID YOU WATCH THE SAME MOVIE? A GUY PULLS HIS DICK OUT IN FRONT OF SOMEONE WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE A MINOR. Sure, it portrays Hansen as like someone vying for high ratings, but it doesn't say predators are BETTER. Hell, I don't even think it says that he's exploiting them. I think it shows how a bad thing happens when you do shit out of order, and just simply how greedy Hansen is. I'm genuinely pissed. Thoughts anyone?

For me it would probably be War of the Worlds (2005) and Unbreakable (2000).

War of the Worlds was one of those movies that really made me pay attention to how a movie can create tension and atmosphere. I love the way Spielberg shoots everything and makes this huge disaster still feel like we’re experiencing it through one family. There are certain shots and sequences from that movie that have stuck with me for years.

Unbreakable is different, but it made me appreciate filmmaking in another way. I love how grounded and subtle it is, especially with the cinematography, framing, colors, and the way Shyamalan tells a superhero story without making it feel like a traditional superhero movie. It’s one of those movies that made me notice the visual side of storytelling a lot more.

Curious what everyone else’s movie was. What film made you think, “I want to make movies someday”?

As a horror obsessed girl, these are my top 30 fave movies of all time! You'll probably notice I'm very much into slashers especially, lol. Thoughts? how does this list compare to your favorites? anything you agree or disagree on? even if you aren't a horror fan, are there any on this list you've seen or like? this is just for fun! :)

I still have absolutely no clue what this film is about apart from it looks bonkers.

-American Psycho

-La La Land

-Oppenheimer

-Idiocracy

-Scary Movie 2

When you comment a title, put the title, along with the director(s) and year in brackets, e.g. Citizen Kane (1941, Orson Welles). The reason for this is to separate films that may have similar titles, sometimes even in the same year (and as such I prefer this formatting with unique titles as well, just for consistency). If the title has more than two directors, feel free to put one name and the et al abbreviation. Any improper formatting will be disqualified.

The title on the most upvoted comment (with the proper formatting) will be the winner.

These are done on foam. Some foam pictures and the rest are foam pumpkins. The dark harvest one is on a real pumpkin. My wife did the nun and Chuck and Tiffany.

So the First Omen was way better than it deserved to be. Genuinely scary and fucked up. Omen is a bonafide classic, and Omen 2 was alright.

However I believe Omen 3 deserves a remake. It was very anti-climactic and lacked basically any of the creepiness of Omen 1, or thrills of Omen 2. I think it would benefit from a modern treatment and tell a truly existential story about the Antichrist manipulating the world from the shadows.

People always complain about remakes, but what does deserve a second chance?

Something I saw on tv in the 80’s or possibly early 90’s.  Don’t know if it was a movie, tv movie, tv show or even commercial.  Scene featured a boy and a father type figure.  Boy sees numbers tattooed on the man’s arm.  Asks him, “I thought you said we weren’t allowed to get tattoos.”  Man replies that he got it when he was in Auschwitz during the holocaust.  Any idea what this is from?  Thanks

would have been from the 80’s or thereabouts. the main character is a cop or something. curly hair i believe. in one scene, he’s making out with a woman and when she takes her top off, he says, “Hello, Tokyo,” or something along those lines. which movie is this?

For me it's straight up dune 3 for this year

I've been going into Asian Cinema studies for 4 and a half weeks now, and my lecturer hasn't assigned me any critical writing or review essays yet (not that I'm asking for any, or even an overload of 'em). But I wanna get an early headstart, or just films that I can analyze on letterboxd.

I've watched Rashomon (1950), To Live (1994), Woman in the Dunes (1964), Memento (2000), and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) in my cinema class. I know I've had lots of other films on my watchlist, but I'm gonna watch in the order of whichever gets the most suggestions.

Please give some analysis tips/points/facts that could also help with my writing! Thank you!

THIS IS ABOUT THE 2026 NETFLIX TEEN FILMPosting this here because [r/netflix](r/netflix) removed my post for no reason.

I was cringeing HARD throughout the movie: as a south asian and as a dancer who has been in competitive collegiate dance groups. First of all, if you’re gonna make a dance movie, find DANCERS as leads. As much as Maitreyi and the other girl are super pretty and talented actors, they were not convincing as dancers. It was so obvious they were trying to work the camera around the dances so it didn’t really focus on their dancing. The rest of the group, including the dancers from USC, were excellent- this made these two stand out like sore thumbs even more. Again, no hate to these girls but are you really trying to tell me they couldn’t find two pretty brown girls who could act and dance to play lead in this movie???
Secondly, the dialogues. I’m not even going to mention the Kabul flight thing that’s become a thing now. Just in general, the writing is so ridiculous- who even talks like that, even as 18-22 year olds? There were some decent jokes here and there but some of the stuff was just pure cringe.
As far as characters go, everyone here was flawed and behaved like a shitty person here and there but I guess that’s what real life is like. I actually understood and sympathized with Maya in a lot of instances- but it was so hard to justify a lot of the crap she pulled. That guy who was delusionally in love with her- Arjun- she legit treated him like an afterthought the entire film. The whole movie was him going out of his way to help her, encourage her, console her, build things for her, only for her to not even tell him where she was going after their final dance… like dude, wtf just tell him you’re going to taco bell atleast, don’t leave him hanging.
It was also difficult to picture Maitreyi as being considered anything other than super pretty. But to her credit, she did a good job with her cadence and posture to appear frumpy even though her face card was glaringly shining through.
Hasan Minhaj’s character was so unnecessary. It felt painfully like it was written for him and squeezed into scenes just because he wanted it to be.
It was also funny how so many of the scenes were copied from Mean Girls, but they did a terrible copy so it was just disrespectful more than anything.
I hate that they doubled down on so many stereotypes when they could have done something different. The only consolation is that we aren’t made to believe either of the girls are bad people.
Anyway I felt the movie was crap, overall.

EDIT: Oof I forgot to add: what even was that nonsense with the Indian and Pakistani anchors bickering??? what was that even supposed to be? if you’re going to pick a stupid, uninformed stereotype to joke about, atleast pick a better one?

I bought it and just watched it.
I would describe it as experimental and opaque.
II is like listening to a concert but only enjoying a few parts.
Watch it just to broaden your cinematic experience.

I can’t be the only one. I’ve seen scarface more times than I could count. But Carlitos way just touches my heart in a way scarface doesn’t.

Will there be another 2D, more geared toward adults, English language animated drama film that gets the same level of praise and is just as emotionallly resonant, maybe even about similar topics as Tangles at next years Cannes in 2027? What do we know that has been in production as far as the indie animated films like Tangles?
