Movie Theories & Details

I like movies where a hunter soon finds himself/herself as the target. Example: Don't Breathe 2016.

Any other movies that fill similar plot themes?

Looking for a movie where the main character rides a motorcycle at any point. It can be for the majority of the film or for 10 seconds. It would be even better if the movie is pre-2000.

Hi everyone! I want to get more into film and i'd really love to know which movies are fundamental for me to get a little more deep into its history.

Thank you! ☺️

Hello, film folks. I was watching The Graduate the other day and I realized that it really bugs me when a male character in a film has his face all lathered up and is ready to shave but then gets distracted and instead of finishing shaving he just wipes the shaving cream off. It’s such a specific thing that I feel like I’ve seen in a hundred movies, and it bugs me every time. It got me thinking about lesser-known tropes in movies and I wanted to ask the community about their favorites/least-favorites. That’s fun, right?

i want to watch a movie where one of the characters is an artist or the character are into art / it’s their jobs
can someone please recommend me something like this please

I'm looking for recommendations for elevated horror-thrillers that are genuinely smart, unsettling, and character-driven.

One of my favorites is His House. I thought it was incredibly well done—great atmosphere, strong emotional core, and horror that actually serves the story instead of relying on jump scares. It wasn't a huge commercial hit, but I think it's one of the best examples of modern horror.

I'm researching films for a project and would love recommendations that are similarly intelligent, atmospheric, and unsettling. They don't have to be supernatural—I just want horror/thrillers that feel fresh, grounded, and expertly crafted.

Some things I'm looking for:

• Slow-burn tension
• Psychological horror
• Strong atmosphere
• Original storytelling or structure
• Social commentary that feels organic
• Memorable endings

I'm especially interested in films that may have flown under the radar or deserve more attention and am open to international films.

What are some of your favorites?

Many older films lose relevance over time, but others feel timeless or even more meaningful today. Which movie has aged incredibly well in your opinion, and what qualities allow it to remain engaging for modern audiences?

So I just barely finished my first screenplay (Yay)! I'm currently in the process of gathering feedback from my personal friends and acquaintances (local theater directors, my high school drama teacher, my pickiest friend studying writing, my little sister, etc).

After gathering their feedback, I was thinking about submitting the script to the BL websites and festivals to get more "industry" feedback (and also for poops and giggles). I'm testing the waters for studying writing in college, and this seems like a good place to start.

The problem, and my question to you today, is that I wrote the script using the only formatting I'm natively familiar with, which is that of one-act plays. How essential is proper formatting and centered text? I downloaded a font extension and stuff, but it would just take a looooot of editing, and the remastered script would probably be around 160 pages based on what I've seen (it's not necessarily long, just a comedy with lots of back-and-forth).

I'd hate to start submitting it and only get notes on proper formatting and editing, so I'm totally willing to go through and change it! I just want to know the most important rules for screenwriting + formatting. How important is listing specific camera angles? What's the space indentation for the lines of dialogue? (It looks like three-ish clicks of the tab key). Why are certain words randomly all-caps as if the sitting president of the U.S. wrote them? etc.

I watched In Bruges recently and might just be one of the best dark humor films I have ever seen. It’s not just about being funny, it is so well made and screenwriting is one of best I have seen. I want to watch similar films in facet of being darkly funny while being a well made film.

I'm a big fan western movies. And I have seen clint eastwood all western films. Suggest or share your fav western genre films..

Please help me research for my acting class! I need movies featuring 17-25 y/o men who have an all-consuming obsession such as:

• Being the best of the best at something (ie Marty Supreme/Whiplash)
• Addicts of all kinds (ie The Basketball Diaries)
• Truth and justice seekers (Lawyers, detectives, journalists)
• Revenge seekers, conspiracy theorists, mad scientists
• Serial killers, thieves, compulsive liars
• Cult leaders and spiritual seekers (ie Eli Sunday in There Will Be Blood)
• Jealous exes, stalkers
• Demons/vampires
• Star-crossed lovers, gay or straight (ie Romeo & Juliet, Call Me By Your Name)

Movies released after 1990 preferred.

Thank you!

Every movie fan has at least one opinion that goes against the popular consensus. It could be an underrated masterpiece, an overrated classic, or an unpopular casting choice. What's your movie hill to die on, and what convinced you of that opinion?

Maybe a different actor was almost cast, a deleted ending would have changed everything, or a canceled sequel could have transformed a franchise. What's the biggest movie "What if?" you still think about, and how different do you think cinema would be today?

Curious if anyone knows what happened. We’ve heard rumors for years but nothing materialized. And now with the fx5 about to be announced, does anyone have any ideas if there will ever be a successor, or is the burano and the fx6 basically the replacements?

Why discontinue the fx9 if you’re not planning to release a true successor?

Some films stay memorable because every conversation feels sharp, natural, or endlessly quotable. Which movie has the strongest dialogue in your opinion, and what makes its writing stand out compared to other films?

hey guys im looking for a really good movie to watch tonight

i keep picking ones and end up pausing halfway lol

i want something that keeps me hooked till the end

im open to thriller action or drama with a good plot twist

not really into slow romcoms or super long 3hr movies

whats 1 movie you watched recently that you 100 percent didnt regret watching thanks

Suggest me a movie to watch. Comedy, Horror, Romance, Drama. Anything works.

I have watched almost all top movies in hindi and english.

Also I don’t want to watch something that is very slow at first and then picks up the pace.

Something interesting only.

Would love to see more movies with this vibe. Silly, surreal, feel good, hint of romance, quirky and funny, but unexpected. Obviously a different genre, but this gave me the same kind of feeling as something like Big Trouble in Little China (1986). Noodle westerns or cozy foreign adventures sound perfect for a lazy Sunday!

Some films entertain us, but a few genuinely change how we think about life, relationships, success, fear, or happiness. It doesn't have to be your favorite movie—just one that left you seeing the world differently. Which film had that effect on you, and what lesson has stayed with you long after the credits rolled?
