Movies where the main character rides a motorcycle.

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.

ELEVATED HORROR-THRILLER RECOMMENDATIONS

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?

Lesser-Known Tropes That Bug You a Little

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?

Dark Humor films like Bruges

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.

for acting: young men with an ALL-CONSUMING obsession

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!

In The Matrix Resurrections (2021), a brief shot shows an advertising column featuring the logo for "Papa Song," the futuristic restaurant chain from Cloud Atlas (2012). Both films were directed by Lana Wachowski.

The logo can be seen at 2:06:25.

What's a movie opinion you will defend ?

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?

What's the biggest "What if? "In movie history?

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?

Whatever happened to the Fx9 II?

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?

Just saw Tampopo (1985) and I'm looking for other feel good hidden gems

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!

What movie completely changed your perspective on life?

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?

Movies similar to Pulse & The Ring?

I’m looking for movies with similar vibes and atmosphere to Pulse and The Ring. I love the atmosphere of both, especially the tape from The Ring, the opening sequence, and the jump scare of the girls face. Pulse is almost dreamlike, internet analog horror. Anything with similar atmosphere to either?
