Movies where the protagonist proves everyone wrong

Something like a CEO of a company is pretending to be a janitor and everyone treats him like shit. Or people laugh at a fighter thinking he is a bum. Basically a movie where everyone underestimates the protagonist and he shows his true power.

Any movies with a similar vibe to “Stand by me”?

I really like the outside “older” vibe of the movie Stand by me and was wondering if there were any movies with a similar vibe.

•Serbian film
•martyrs
•kids

I want something truly messed up and will fuck me up just not the same basic suggestions I see on here everytime

Requesting: happy Anne Hathaway movies

Fairly recently I've seen three movies of hers (The Odyssey, Interstellar, and Les Mis) and she's great in all of them, but her characters in all three are completely miserable lol

Is there anything more light-hearted or comedic where she plays a substantial or lead role?

What movie to see in IMAX?

I love this community. This is why I'm asking for all your opinions, please 😊

I won a free Regal IMAX movie for 2026, and we're in August already. I haven't used it yet because IMAX is about an hour away from me.

What movie would \*\*YOU\*\* choose to see in IMAX, going forward? It can be \*\*any movie\*\* you want. I'm just looking for suggestions what movie would be best.

I don't know anything about IMAX, so I don't know what movie I should see in IMAX.

Thank you so much!!

Is Mark actually trying again?

Watched the By Any Means trailer expecting standard Wahlberg tough guy stuff and now I’m annoyed because it looks like he showed up for this one 

Him playing Greg Scarpa makes way more sense once you know Scarpa was a real Colombo mobster working as an FBI informant

Wahlberg has always been better to me when he plays a slightly unhinged asshole instead of Generic Action Dad™

Getting some of that old Departed energy here and I’m kinda into it

Movies with Amber alerts and kidnapping?

In the mood for some kind of thriller movie that involves amber alerts/kidnapping. And don't worry it's not for research I just randomly most days feel like watching certain movie based on whatever topic.

Any juicy supernatural horror with jump scares, solid special effects and stuff?

I was somewhat in the mood for watching Poltergeist, but not THAT, because I already watched it. But something in that vein, kinda over-the-top, but also spooky.

In "Beauty and the Beast" (1991), you can see skulls in Gaston's eyes as he falls to his death.

Movies that heavily reference other movies, total pastiche

By reference I don't mean Deadpool style pop culture references in dialogue. More like Kill Bill, which you could probably reconstruct from thirty other films shot for shot.

Finally got around to watching Dune

Finally took the time to sit down and watch Dune. For reference I’m not a huge sci fi fan but I can appreciate it. I remember watching the one from 2000 but I never watched the 80s one because I was too young (45F for context)

First of all Timothee Chalamet is a very handsome young man, I can see what the fuss is about in my mom friend groups.

But importantly, there were so many parts of the movie I just didn’t follow. I had a tough time understanding the different factions and the different politics. On top of that I had a tough time following what was going on. Is this the kind of movie where I needed knowledge of the books going into it? Or the type of movie that needs to be watched more than once?

Don’t get me wrong it’s a beautiful movie and I want to keep watching the second one in preparation for the third one. But I just want some help appreciating it!

Alien franchise fan

I’ve recently rewatched everything including Alien Earth and the cross overs with predator (meh). I’m looking for some amazing alien movies, but only ones that show the aliens, as a monster movie fan I can’t stand when they hide the monster

[Crosspost] Hi reddit! I'm Jay McCarrol - composer of TONY (out in theaters nationwide this weekend from A24), BLACKBERRY, and HELL OF A SUMMER. I also co-created and co-starred in NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE alongside Matt Johnson. AMA!

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actor/comedian/composer/screenwriter Jay McCarol. He has composed the scores for films such as BlackBerry, Tony, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, Hell of a Summer, The Kid Detective, The Dirties, and Operation Avalanche. He is also the co-creator (with Matt Johnson) of Nirvana the Band the Show and its TV show and film.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He will be back at 3 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

His newest film, Tony, is out in theaters via A24 this weekend. It stars Dominic Sessa as Anthony Bourdain and co-stars Antonio Banderas, Stavros Halkias, Emilia Jones, and Leo Woodall. It premiered to critical and audience acclaim a few weeks ago.

Thank you :)

I couldn't find a free resource that suited me, so I made my own

I got into screenwriting recently and I could not find an app that really suited all my needs so I decided to make it (I did not want to spend money for a screenwriting software)
weblink

Features I added
- Script Notes
- Character Designing
- Storyboarding
- Beatmap

Future Development Plan
- History Management
- Teams
- Offline availibility

Would you guys consider trying out if I made it open to the public (free obviously)

(This is not a plug, I am asking for genuine feedback and criticism)

The Three Musketeers

The idea of the three musketeers is very intriguing. I never watched any film with them in it except the Disney Donald, Mickey, and Goofy one. If I were to choose a musketeer movie, which movie would you recommend me watch?

Going to buy a Lumix GH7 - convince me otherwise

after much deliberation on a small form “cinema” camera at a more affordable price, I’ve settled on the Lumix GH7.

I really like the fact that we can shoot ProRes internally, I don’t really mind MFT sensors, I like that there is the Arri LogC3 add-on, its small like an FX3 and can be built out if necessary, and the rolling shutter readout pretty much seems to be fast enough for the resolutions I'll be shooting at.

Also its much more affordable. It goes for around $1800, even a used FX3 is still like $3.5-4k

Gonna be shooting an experimental documentary with it, and other small personal projects in the future. Nothing crazy. What do you think?

Spam Call (rewrite, 6 1/2 pages)

TITLE: Spam Call (2ND DRAFT)

FORMAT: Short Film/Sketch

GENRE: Comedy

LENGTH: 6 1/2 pages

PLOT: A man's most important life moments are constantly interrupted by irritating spam calls from telemarketers.

Hey guys,

A while back I posted the first draft of a comedy script I wrote about a guy whose life gets interrupted at inopportune times by phone calls from a pushy and persuasive telemarketer. I finished a rewrite of it and I'd love to get your thoughts/suggestions on what works and what still needs improvement. I'm not quite sure about the sluglines and some of the scene directions, myself. Anyway, here it is. Thanks for reading!
