I'm recommending this movie because it's the movie I saw that made me realize that Keanu Reeves, for the criticisms of his deadpan line deliveries and seeming lack of emotion, actually has a specific kind of character he plays very well. This film served as a kind of precursor to John Wick, in my opinion. I would recommend avoiding the trailer for this movie, as I recall it spoils a twist in the movie.

This movie focuses on Reeves' character, Tom Ludlow, a police officer who's a functional alcoholic and whose undercover unit has taken to acting outside the law as a sort of "Punisher" type group. As the film goes on, we learn more about Ludlow and why he is the way he is. What I really like about Reeves' performance is that he delivers a subdued rage with some moments that are darkly humorous as well. The movie also features none other than Chris Evans in a supporting role that he performs very well in.

This movie has its flaws, but overall I was really impressed with it, given its lack of attention when it initially came out. I honestly can't even remember if it was released in theaters. Reeves' performance also reminded me of his role in "Speed", which is another movie I enjoy a great deal. The big issue I had with the movie is that I could see the twist coming from a mile away, however I can't say that this wasn't because of the trailer, which is why I warned about it earlier in this post.

Check this one out if you need that John Wick fix without the imitators!

Movies with different/unique ideas that have great narration, engaging story telling and lots of insight that makes you feel really good.

Please

Looking for movies that will enhance the feeling of being trapped indoors. Just got told I have to quarentine and need some things too watch.

I went in with no context at all, which made for a really good experience because I had no idea what to expect. I recommend you do the same. Don't look at any reviews, dont read the plot, just turn it on.

I´ve made bad experiences with Americans and am looking for something cathartic...something that deals with Americas bad side. Native American genocide, "collateral damage" in wars etc Sorry if that sounds xenophobic or otherwise offensive. I know there are plenty of Americans that are alright. I just get the impression that their voices get buried.

I’m having a bad day and need a good laugh lol

Looking for movies about any kind of secret societies or with some kind of Esoteric vibe. For example anything from Eyes Wide Shut to National Treasure!

I especially like detective stories with this vibe, but documentaries are fine too if you know any good ones!

Under the skin was a bit like the cosmic horror im looking for somthing that just feels not human

I’m interested in movies from the last 30 years or so that realistically display the dynamics of platonic friendship between women.

English speaking person looking for a classic German movie to watch with subs to try and pick up things. Help me out!

I keep thinking about how everyone I will ever know will eventually die. I know it’s natural but I keep thinking about it. Suggest me a movie that will either completely take my mind off the topic/distract me or something that makes the idea less inevitable. Sorry for the heavy ask /r/

Something like over the garnden wall or don’t hug me I’m scared, something atmospheric and unsettling

My girlfriend is new to Alabama and struggles with understanding the southern way of talking. I need help with some movies for us to watch together to help me teach her the meanings of southern idioms and help her get used to the talk. Any suggestions? Movies we have watched: Tombstone, Forest Gump, A Star is Born, Django Unchained.

It stars the guy from Legion and the girl from It follows (also made on 2014), and it’s... phenomenal. The fact that this movie flew under the radar is proof that justice is an illusion.

A polite young man shows up at the home of a grieving family, claiming who fought alongside their son who was KIA. The twist is that this movie fucks. It isn’t a “slow burn” or “psychological thriller” like the premise would suggest. It’s just fucking awesome, action packed, with moments of hilarity and ingenious violence. Totally, it’s maybe closest to Seven Psychopaths/Martin McDonagh.

My husband doesn't like scary movies (which happen to be my favorite) and I don't like dumb comedies...

Action movies are usually good but when it comes to gore, he's a little sensitive.

We both enjoy The Hobbit, LOTR, Dune, 300, Ocean's 11+, Transformers, Fast and the Furious, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon.. some anime (Princess Mononoke, Mushi Shi, etc)...

We're thinking about picking up a movie after he gets home from work (neither of us actually watch TV, and we're in the process of moving, so on breaks from packing, movies are about all we can do right now)

I DO like GOOD comedies, like Zombieland, Grandma's Boy, etc...

Just hoping to get some ideas before he gets home later.

Indie movies are a plus, and I like foreign films, not sure if he does.

Thanks!

I’m looking for a movie that leaves me speechless, disturbed, and stays in my head for weeks. Doesn’t necessarily have to be about drug use. Tell me which movies really got to you!

My 11-year old loves anime, pan-Asian food, and Asian culture in general. I asked my husband if he might like Crouching Tiger but he reminded me of some graphically violent moments that I’d forgotten about.

Are there any similar films that I might be able to show him? He has no problem reading subtitles.

Yes, you've read the title correct. Both of us love horror, but didn't watch any of the new stuff that came out for the last couple of years. If you think that there are some good ones, please share.

Ted Lasso is a good example (there's probably a reason they used mumford for the theme song), but thats a TV show.

I want a movie that makes me feel what the songs do. optimsitic, innocent, adventurous along a simple life with beautiful landscapes.

So the current theme of the movie group I watch movies with is "beautiful women transforming into animals." This is for a group of people, so ideally nothing too esoteric or problematic. I'm also trying to stay away from werewolf movies, for no specific reason beyond it feels lazy. So far we've watched LadyHawke and Cat People.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! I'm trying to find another movie or franchise as popular as HP, but I'm lacking ideas. Could you please help?

I love movies like

Coherence

The Invitation

El Incidente

The Similars

Time Lapse

Primer

It doesn't need to be sci fi thriller and it doesn't need to be "people in one location as things get weird" but both of those tend to be a plus for me and are always welcome suggestions.

I've seen Triangle and Predestination and Timecrimes and they were ok but not as good IMO. I'm looking for movies that really knock it out of the park like 9 or 10 out of 10 movies.
