In the mood for an action packed mystery type of film. Would appreciate any recommendations for good crime/cop movies. Looking for something thats more like 'end of watch'. Can be an oldie or something more modern. If there might be recommendations for a series similar to the first season of true detective im open to those as well, TIA!!
I recently watched Dear Friend, and Vinod reminded me so much of someone I knew in college and it was painful .
He was someone I genuinely wanted to become close to and whom I considered like my close friends. He had this strange charm about him, very private, mysterious, and difficult to read. Whenever he opened up, he'd open up a lot, maybe accidentally ? but most of the time he' will be evasive of keeping people too close or dodge personal questions or keep people at arm's length, without many people understanding it
At first, we'd talk a lot. We'd spend time together, and he was actually fun and I honestly thought we were becoming good friends.
Then, without any argument or obvious reason, he'd slowly become distant and he became friends with another circle If I happened to meet him again or if i reached out again , he'd act completely normal, as if nothing had changed. Then when we would start hanging out or being friends , he'd disappear again. The push and pull , that cycle kept repeating.
The confusing part is that I never knew what I did wrong. There was never an argument , fight, never any closure, just... distance and also being clueless about him like namku oru idea kitunila how the person is
After college, he went completely no contact
Oddly enough, that only added to his mystique. Even today, people still ask about him or wonder what he's up to. He always seemed to have different friend groups wherever he went, school , college , and no one felt suspicious and people welcome him like normally or they forget that whenever he reappears back into their lives .
yet at the same time people all felt really close to him and wanting him to be in their circle . Karnam i don't know many ppl still put efforts to reach out to him angane and involve him (me included guilty for that) , And he always is like the dear friend tovino very much involved in us , good at making friendships and everything we consider him to be like one of us
What's stranger is that, despite all this, if he texted me tomorrow, I'd probably still talk to him normally. I don't know why. Maybe because I never got closure. Maybe because I never understood him, and I was feeling he's detached or numb i don't know
It made me realize that I've met a few people like this in life. They come into your life like a breath of fresh air, make a lasting impression, and then quietly drift away without explanation. Years later, you're still wondering what happened, while they seem to have moved on effortlessly.

Looking for a solid thriller/crime movie that will keep my easily distracted brother engaged for the whole movie.
Since Christopher Nolan’s adaptation is releasing in theaters soon, I am asking for some recommendations of other films that have taken ideas from the original epic poem. Some of my favorites are Apocalypse Now (in a way), O Brother, Where Art Thou? and The Spongebob Squarepants Movie. Thank you all and I’m excited to watch yours!
I just discovered this awesome subreddit. Im currently down with a flu, so I’m planning on staying home all day. Would you have any recommendations for feel good movies?
In exchange I leave you my all time favourites:
-Laws of Attraction (Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore make me believe in love)
-The parent trap (the love story of the parents is very sweet)
-Two weeks notice
-Maid in Manhattan (Ralph Fiennes be mine)
Also my all time favourite movie is The end of the affair with Ralph Fiennes and Julianne Moore. So Im also open for something more dramatic and still romantic.
I have already seen:
Shaun of the Dead
The World's End
I have the attention span of a goldfish when it comes to movies, so it’s actually pretty hard for me to find ones that keep me interested.
Some of my favorites are Requiem for a Dream, Buffalo ’66, and Mysterious Skin. I really like movies that leave you sitting there thinking afterward or just hit you in the soul for some reason.
On the complete opposite end, I also love comedies like Waiting… (the one with Ryan Reynolds) and The Wrong Missy. Stuff that’s just chaotic and funny.
Basically I’m looking for either:
● movies that’ll emotionally ruin me or make me question my life,
● or comedies that’ll have me laughing the whole time.
I’m open to pretty much any genre if it’s actually worth watching.
I'm looking for movies where the concept itself is original not just a plot twist or great acting. The kind of film that makes you think, "How did someone even come up with this?"
Any language, any country, any genre is welcome. Please avoid the obvious mainstream picks if possible. Looking for hidden gems too.
EDIT- Wow, I didn’t expect so many comments. Thanks everyone for the movie suggestions. I really appreciate it. I’m slowly going through them one by one.
I absolutely love this movie and absolutely need something like it, any recommendations??
Okay so I’m thinking things like “Murder in the First”, “It’s a wonderful Life”, “Me Before You”, something that I can bawl my eyes out to but with catharsis and that cleanses my soul.
Any suggestions would be welcomed and appreciated. X
I mean with similar vibe not necessarily related to spies.
Just looking for a fun movie to watch.
I was watching Harry Potter last night and thought of this. I came up with Hagrid, Heimdall from Thor, Happy from iron Man, Hodor from game of thrones. Then this morning, I find this subreddit.
If anyone knows of any movies with the same elements as Kill Bill, such as someone going after multiple different targets over the course of the movie, and just revenge being the main plot point with a ton of action that would be awesome. Kill Bill is one of my favorite movies of all time but I’ve rewatched it at least 50 times so something new would definitely be refreshing. Also love the movie Old Boy, any movie that includes the sideways hallway fight scene I’d love to check out too.
Recommend movies where the main character is driven by revenge, and the story keeps building toward payback. I want emotional rage.

tense, suspenseful, and with a constant sense of dread. It doesn't have to involve sharks or anything; I mean similar in vibes.
Haven't found a single movie like Unthinkable so reddit is my only option left .
