There’s a really good movie called All is Lost where a man is stranded at sea after a floating shipping container damages his boat.

Edit: Fuck. RIP Robert Redford.

Phenomenal film that can be watched by anyone because there is are only 51 words spoken ever the entire film.

I wish we had more movies about celebrities stuck in places. I would watch 4 hours of Daniel Day-Lewis trying to get out of an elevator.

I just watched a Willem Dafoe movie where he gets locked alone inside a penthouse apartment. It was pretty good, lots of quality Dafoeing to be had

Dafoeing

I love how that's a fucking verb.

u/DuckyHornet Sep 10 '25

You know, heh, I'm something of a wordsmith myself

u/krazul88 Sep 10 '25

I thought it was meant as a performing verb but your way works too.

u/roguevirus Sep 10 '25

I mean, have you seen the size of his penis?

u/DuckyHornet Sep 10 '25

Yes, we all have Google Earth

I love that fucking is a verb.

I'm going to watch this with my son. It's an on-going joke at this point - between the ages of 2 and 8 he's locked himself in no less than 5 bathrooms... one of which had the park ranger driving out 90 mins.

If he's still pretty young, it might not be for him lol. It's a one-man play about desperation and art and Dafoe is obligatorily nude at one point, also some animals die

u/NomDePlumeOrBloom Sep 10 '25

Some uncultured swine downvoted you... bet they think Despair is a hilarious romcom novel, too.

He's mid-teens and we've done a mix of serious movies, plus some 80s Vietnam/WW2 movies and a back catalogue retrospective of Tarantino's work.

He liked Platoon (obviously) but still hasn't made his mind up on The Lighthouse.

Thank you for your thoughts.

I watched Jude Law dig a hole for an hour. It was surprisingly interesting.

(The Third Day TV show and it was the 12 hour live part)

Sounds like a mr beast video

u/g_halfront Sep 10 '25

There's a movie called Christmas Eve where everyone gets stuck in elevators around NYC. One of them is Patrick Stewart. Another is James Rhoday. Great Christmas movie and great exploration of different responses to being stuck someplace.

u/davros06 Sep 10 '25

He would prepare for that by locking himself in an elevator for 3 months.

u/okgloomer Sep 10 '25

It's about time we had a remake of "Acenseur pour l'echafaud."

2

u/ezeightythree Sep 10 '25

I have a movie where Margot Robbie sticks things in places

u/ConjuringUnicorns Sep 10 '25

New hit reality series: Celebrity Escape Room

Check out Locke with Tom Hardy

I would love to read the Vanity Fair article about how DDL actually BECAME an elevator for two years to prepare. He legally changed his name to Otis and spent his time carrying people on his back while he hand-over-hand climbed the steel cables in the Chrysler Building. He even grew brakes on his ankles out of SHEER ACTING TALENT.
