r/MovieRecommendations

hi! i’m looking for films with a similar vibe to i’m thinking of ending things and last year at marienbad.

i really love movies that feel like:
- dreamlike / memory-like instead of straightforward stories.
- psychologically weird or unstable (identity, time, reality blurring)
- quiet, lonely, emotionally unsettling
- more symbolic/poetic than plot-driven

and just overall ambiguous, where you’re not totally sure what’s real. some others i’ve liked: persona, synecdoche, new york, mulholland drive.

any recs (any country/era) appreciated :) usually the more niche the better as it’s likelier i haven’t seen it! thank you. <3

As the title says

Just wonderong if you might be able to suggest something please.

Thank you in advance

I really liked Sorry to Bother You, and I want to see more of that exact flavor of weird

I don't even know where to start looking for afro-surrealist movies

Any recommendations other than I Love Boosters?

I’m looking for a show that takes me to another land, where the location feels like a vital part of the show, where I see landscapes or views that make me want to go there someday. Looking forward to your answers!

Hello!!! So I am looking for a psychological horror movie. I dont want it to be something like "Ooh I kill people and comeout of nowhere" movies like scream or halloween. I want something like Pulse ot The Blair Witch Project. Somethingthat has an eerie atmosphere. But I want it to be actually scary. The Blair Witch Project didn't meet my expectations on that point. I would be really glad if you helped me out :D

Please recommend horror movies like Undertone where there are no jump scares and just make used of foreboding music (or lack thereof) and weird background angles.

I just want to feel witnessed right now.

Can you recommend me some movies on depression (especially suicidal) and/or ptsd that are extremely realistic?

Thank you

I feel like I have pretty high standards for horror movies and I love a good creature design. The bear scene from annihilation was great, the creature from “the ritual” is another good one, and The Thing is an honorable mention. I need more unsettling + epically horrifying monsters!

I'm a big fan of the John Wick movies, but I ended up skipping The Continental after reading a lot of mixed (and often negative) reviews. The general consensus I saw was that the action was decent, but the writing and story weren't nearly on the same level as the films.

Now I'm interested in Ballerina, and the trailers look great, but I'm curious what people think now that it's been out for a while.

Does it actually feel like a worthy addition to the John Wick universe, or is it closer to The Continental in terms of quality?

Please avoid major spoilers if possible. I'd just like to know whether it's worth my time.

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
• Star-crossed lovers, gay or straight (ie Romeo & Juliet, Call Me By Your Name)

Movies released after 1990 preferred.

Thank you!

So me(16), my mother(49) and my brother(26) are having a movie night and I want good, non-horror movie recs!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some movie recommendations, but here’s the catch: I’ve watched very, very few movies in my life. So please, feel free to suggest even the most famous blockbusters or mainstream classics!

I want something with a relatively modern feel, where the main character is a woman who completely steals the show and makes the whole movie incredible just by her performance.

Ideally, I’d prefer something on the joyful/upbeat side overall. For reference, I really liked the vibe of Obsession (even though I’m not typically into horror) and I enjoy good drama, but I want something that leaves you in a good mood.

What are your absolute must-watches? Thanks!

I recently just lost my childhood dog, we got her when I was in third grade and she just passed a couple of months after I graduated college. It’s really hard. I’m looking for some (preferably not devastating) films or TV shows that might help.

They can be about dogs, but they don’t have to be. I just ask that they’re not incredibly intense, I’ve been watching the TV show Bee and Puppycat for now. Thanks all.

These are 4 random films from my watchlist:

Boyz N The Hood

The Proposition

Short Term 12

Blue Valentine

Which one shall I watch?

90s fun action movie... nothing oscar worthy (if its good) but needs to be entertaining overall.

Already seen, T2, true lies and jurrasic park. All good movies.
