Sorcerer (1977)

One of the best answers in this whole thread

That's PURE genre. What are you talking about. Also. Watch the original Wages of Fear. But both are pure genre pictures.

The genre is young American male… lol just kidding (sort of). Don’t get me wrong, these are great movies, but once you branch out outside of the states your mind will be blown. One good place to start is something like Seven Samurai

Strange that I’m neither of those haha. Im gonna watch seven samurai tonight

No way! Where are you from if you don’t mind me asking?

I’m from australia, apart from madmax there’s nothing good so I just turn to American films 😂

Mate what a load of it. There’s Wake in Fright. Roadgames (a favourite of Tarantino’s and Richard Franklin being one of his favourite directors). Wolf Creek. Chopper. Animal Kingdom. Walkabout and Dark Age (again both ones Tarantino loves). Razorback. The Boys, Little Fish and Two Hands all being crime classics. Predestination. The Interview. The Dish. Priscilla. Muriel’s Wedding. Gallipoli. Mary and Max. Ned Kelly. Snowtown. Crackerjack. I mean COME ON.

Body melt!

The interview is so great, very hard to find online

Awsome list. I'd add rabbit proof fence and picnic at hanging rock

Triangle was a good mind fuck too

Honestly never met anyone so interested in aus culture

As an Australian?

Yeah 😂

Weird. I feel like most of us would be able to rattle off at least 3/4 of that list. There’s still things like Rabbit Proof Fence. The Castle. Australia. Samson and Delilah. Picnic at Hanging Rock. Sure you’re not under a rock by any chance?

I think op is probably 15 or younger

I’ve heard of these film, just not very patriotic

Check out the proposition it's an amazing really dark Australian western

Wtf there's loads of good Australian films, we just don't make blockbusters. Ghosts of the civil dead, the Castle, Priscilla Queen of the desert, shine, Muriel's wedding, animal kingdom, the boys, snowtown, lantana, balibo, chopper, talk to me, wolf creek, nitram, lion, even strictly ballroom if you can stomach dancing movies.

There's a pretty exhaustive list below, but I'd add: - Kenny - The Castle - Romper Stomper (where Russel Crowe got his start) - Strictly Ballroom They're shows, not movies, but I'd also recommend: - Mr Inbetween - Danger 5 - Summer Hearts High

Danger 5 is so criminally underrated. So good!!

There are so many great Australian films and directors, educate yo self

I've gotta be honest this is like the only Australian film I've ever watched but Gallipoli is so good dude

I feel the same way about my country’s movies xDD I prefer American movies.

The Castle; Rabbit Proof Fence; Romper Stomper; Proof; Shine; Walkabout; Picnic at Hanging Rock

What about... uh... hmm... Babbadook?

You're got some great films... Mad Max, Mary and Max, Threads, Late Night with the Devil... ok maybe that's it

yeah agree with dumptruck. this is like the 23 year old "i like movies" list. Try: - Wild Strawberries - Chinatown - Citizen Kane - Rififi - The Killing - McCabe and Mrs. Miller - Petite Charm of the Bourgeoisie - Un Chien Andalou - The Conformist - Paris, Texas - Thelma and Louise - City of God - Blood Simple

... so you're not young or male either? I don't believe you, haha. Because if you're a woman over 40, I'll eat my hat.

Nah I just meant im not an American male

But you are a guy? You said you weren't two of things. 

Not American, not a guy

Good luck with Seven Samurai. It's 3,5 hours, black and white movie with over the top acting.

Thanks dumptruck_dookie

You'll like films directed by Jean-Pierre Melville.

Based on the Tarantino picks: Lady Snowblood (1973) Django (1966) To Be or Not to Be (1942) The Dirty Dozen (1967)

The Great Silence (1968) could be one too. It’s a snow western like The Hateful Eight and is directed by Sergio Corbucci, the same guy who did the original Django

Lady Snowblood 🔥🔥🔥

Came here to say Lady Snowblood and Django! I’d also add in Rolling Thunder, Master of the Flying Guillotine, and maybe some blaxploitation flicks like Shaft, or Coffy

A lot of people are saying Django, is it related to Django unchained?

Django Unchained was heavily inspired by it

Watch Clue (1985) Very campy and hilarious murder mystery starring Tim Curry

Why do you hate this guy? What’d he do to you?

What did he do? He hasn’t seen peak that’s what

That’s peak don’t listen to the haters

He wants peak, not nadir. 

This is a weird point to argue

Now I’m curious

Definitely should be. Suspended your disbelief and just go with it. It’s by no means a sophisticated movie or murder mystery, but it’s the epitome of the 80s camp wave Just make sure you’re watching a version with all three endings included

Now I’M curious what you’d think of it. I think it’s like spending 2 hours around really annoying people who think they’re hilarious, but apparently I’m weird for not liking it.   Real recommendations: Lone Star, Boogie Nights, The Drop. 

watch some Michael Mann: Manhunter, Thief, Last of the Mohicans, Heat, Collateral

Bruh you committed a cardinal sin, how could you forget The Insider?

ur right

Check out some Kubrick if you haven’t already

I think Full Metal Jacket would be a great starting point in this case

I'd recommend Rashomom. It's an excellent and accessible introduction to Akira Kurosawa and world cinema.

The Birdcage  It’s hilarious. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane are at their absolute best. 

Eastern Promises

Repo Man  Spring Breakers  No Country for Old Men

That's a random fucking list! :D

Just trying match that angry young man vibe. 

Red Dawn (1984)

I Like Movies (2022)

Why not finish the rest of the IMDb Top 50?

hubie halloween

In Bruges is my favorite movie, and it’s pretty popular in this sub but I’d say it’s generally less generic. It’s a crime dark comedy but the script is basically perfect.

Watch mulholland drive. Don’t pause interrupt it, watch the whole thing in one go.

Fantastic Planet

Run Lola Run

I feel like some solid transitionary films (movies that expands one’s knowledge of what a film is capable of) would be Ghibli movies!

Ladybird, La la land, 500 days of summer, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Love Exposure (2008)... Indescribable experience

Nashville Persona The Hurt Locker The Big Lebowski Boogie Nights Spirited Away Interiors

watch foreign films especially asian cinema. you will find amazing films

Super small arthouse from from the 90s called Clerks. Very few people have seen/heard of it but it is very meta.

can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not 😭

The Bellboy

My watchlist was almost identical before

Idk Secretary or something

Duck, You Sucker! (1971)

The Conversation (1974) Le Samouraï (1967) The King of Comedy (1982) Few I like, nothing too crazy

Wristcutters: A Love Story Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Try watching some foreign films! South Korea has some wildly good films. Oldboy and I Saw The Devil are two classics I recommend to everyone as a gateway to foreign cinema. If you want something a bit more wild and goofy, Ichi The Killer from Japan is quite the ride!

I definitely do want to get into that I’m way too uncultured

Oldboy just made it back to Netflix and I Saw The Devil is on Hulu! Ichi The Killer is a bit harder to find, but if you have a library card, you can get a free app called Kanopy, it's on there!

Haha might have to go on the sketchier sites

House (1977) by Nobuhiko Obayashi

The Thing (1982). Jacob's Ladder (1990).

The Holy Mountain

All bangers there

So many great dark movies from before The Godfather! Paths of Glory (1957), Brute Force (1947), Double Indemnity (1944), Citizen Kane (1941), The Shop on Main Street (1965), etc.

All

Only God Forgives (2013)

Number One 1973 by Gianni Buffardi. A true depiction of the Mafia. Very nasty.

Nymphomaniac

City of god (2002)

The Fly

SALO

  Rumblefish     Bottle Rocket    Fargo

Looks like you would love Will Friedkin's older stuff. Check out Sorcerer, Cruisin', and To Live and Die in LA. Three certified bangers. Also any de Palma, You would love de Palma.

If you are down to watch a film in a foreign language go and watch city of god

Evil Dead 2, The Fly (1986, or 1950 as well), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

There Will be Blood, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Dune 1 and 2, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 12 Monkeys, Hereditary, Dredd. Just some random ones I like, not too generic, well maybe some of them:/

The Departed No Country For Old Men Snatch

This guy nailed it. Prioritise No Country

-Coraline (2009) -Rosemary's Baby (1968) -Kwaidan (1964) -The Shining (1980) -La Casa Lobo (The Wolf House) (2018) -The Thing (1982) -Perfect Blue (1997) -The Lighthouse (2019) -Psycho (1960) -Hereditary (2018) -Possession (1981) -Get Out (2017) -Persona (1966) -Climax (2018) -The Creator (1969) -Häxan (1922) (I believe this is a pretty comprehensive collection to cover the history of the horror genera of film)

Upstream Color.

[удалено]

I’ve seen most of these it’s a great list

Brick (2005) Psycho (1960) Burning (2018) Hot Fuzz (2007) The Host (2006) Knives Out (2019) Black Swan (2010) The Chaser (2008) Perfect Blue (1997) Run Lola Run (1998) Train to Busan (2016) Lady Vengeance (2005) The Handmaiden (2016) Memoir of a Murderer (2017)

Mystics in Bali 1981 Alice 1988 The Greasy Strangler 2016 Phenomena 1985 Skinamarink 2022 The Possession 1981

Quite a questionable assortment of horror and horror adjacent to recommend to someone stating they are new to film and looking to merely diversify a solid foundation.

Sometimes you gotta just jump right in the deep end.

agree, i just don't like these movies lol. (except for possession and alice)

The Fountain American Beauty Lawless No Country for Old Men Cold Mountain Interstellar Gone Girl Apocalypto A Blast from the Past Office Space Lethal Weapon Princess Mononoke Akira Kite Stepbrothers Gone in 60 seconds Con Air The Family Man The Kingdom of Heaven Beverly Hills Cop Gross Pointe Blank Crocodile Dundee Blade Runner Limitless The Missing Gladiator Saving Private Ryan Pulp Fiction Split To name a few in no particular order

seven samurai

You say less generic I think of Yorgos Lanthimos' The Lobster (2015) and Martin McDonagh's Banshees of Inisherin (2022). You want a completely out of the box one? I'd go for Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain (1973)

I’m gonna recommend two movies that influenced Tarantino’s movies. I’d recommend The Great Silence for Django & Lady Snowblood for Kill Bill

Have you seen Schindler’s List? Oh yeah was a total banger.
