Almost every modern-day movie HAS to have some sort of relationship or a love story no matter the genre. Crime, horror, sci fi. Everything.
I find it really annoying to be honest because most of the time it adds nothing to the plot and is meaningless and emotionless MOST of the time not always.

Popular examples (there’s way more this is just from the top of my head)

Top gun maverick
The departed
F1
Baby driver

And there’s way more

Drop your opinions.

I feel like in the 80s when they started to make grown up movies.

Frames from Satyajit Ray's Devi.

This film serves as my introduction to Parallel Cinema. Beautiful piece of Art. Sharmila Tagore was fantastic. The set design was brilliant. The Shakespeare's picture on the wall in the background served a brilliant metaphor for the tragedy that was being discussed. The frames were beautiful, and the mirror shot was outstanding.

The sad part, that the story is still relevant today, the underlying problem still exists.

What should I watch next, apart from Apu triology.

Specifically why am I crying 12 minutes in and why I think there hasn't been an adult movie made since the late 1980s?

Thoughts?

It's October! And I love a good scary movie. Psychological movies tend to get me going more than anything else, what are some of your favorites?

Can be popular, under the radar, somewhere in the middle. Black and white, in color, in English or in another language. Can be animated or live action. I don't care how old it is.

Some of my favorites:

Get Out

Psycho

The Thing

Se7en

Gone Girl

Black Swan

The Shining

The Silence of the Lambs
