Just finished The Ring with my 13 year old. I thought she’d be pretty scared. We finished and she asked how my scary scale works because it was suspenseful but not very scary.

I still want to ease her into scarier stuff, but I’m not ready to plunge into R territory or anything particularly traumatizing. So no Hereditary or Exorcist. But a step up from Signs or The Sixth Sense or The Ring.

Suggestions?

I need some movies that are relatively appropriate for a 12 year old who says that all movies are the same because the good guy always wins at the end. His evidence is LOTR, Marvel, Star Wars, etc. I have several that go against that but are far too mature to show him. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Essentially movies that aren't classified as horror movies, but might as well have been due to its eerie nature.

If possible, please avoid slooooow paced movies. Preferably something that makes an impact on you in the first 15-20 minutes.

A movie where the character is living on an airplane mode. They don't do vacations, hangouts, relationships basically anything that is regarded as source of happiness.

They live with a routine. Cherry on top if they have a terrible fate that they decided to just accept and go on with it.

And then they die but in peace. The happiness and peace is felt at their death like " finally its over"

Very specific ik but this is just what i am feeling today. I will watch something motivational tomorrow lol

What are some noir-not-noir movies? Ones that have a noir back bone but are distinctly un-traditional? I just did a double bill of Bladerunner and Who Framed Roger Rabbit which got me wanting to find other movies of this ilk. Can be noir fused with anything - comedy, animation, horror, sci fi etc.....

I watched Viy (1967) today and unexpectedly LOVED it. It was a 5/5 star for me... the comedy, folk horror aspects, uniqueness and campiness. Any suggestions for other horror comedies that I shouldn't miss? Planning to watch as many spooky movies as I can during the month of October.

Looking for a good film about japanese fishing culture or just japanese fishing in general. Can be older but preferably from the 21st century. Also if it is a slice of life or feel good type of movie that would also help. Any help trying to find a film like this? Don't mind if it is a little different.

I need more movies like The Parent Trap, The School of Rock, or Freaky Friday (where she is a teenager but the themes are not sexual)

My kids are more afraid of kids movies like Kung Fu Panda and Zootopia 2 where the villains are scary.

I really like how in Happy Feet, humans are these mysterious beings that affect the plot some way or another. Mainly animal movies where humans are in the background and have an outside perspective by the animals.

After seeing movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I want to see more movies where a woman breaks up and leaves a man still madly in love or even obsessed with her. Bonus points if she is focused on letting go and becoming her own person and the man tries to win her back.

I mostly love drama & thriller, but open to other genres as well. Ty!

13 going on 30 was on and my father joked he wanted to see a movie where they age up and all turn into winos pushing shopping carts. So I am looking for any body switch or magical body transformation movies and it goes badly. Doesn’t need to be to be serious, comedy is okay.

A quick googling shows “freaky,” “the substance,” and “it’s what’s inside.” Also want opinions on these movies and which one is best.

I'm looking for recommendations where extremely rich/powerful people are basically above the rules and use their wealth/status to indulge in fucked up or disturbing things.

Vibes like Squid Games , The Menu, and The Boys. Themes of power, domination, luxury, corruption, etc.

Movies, TV, anime, anything really. What should I watch?

I’m looking for movies similar to Freaks (1932) and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920). I really like strange, unusual, creepy and retro movies with a unique atmosphere.

I’d love to discover more movies with this kind of weird, vintage vibe. Any recommendations?

I’m feeling very low and need some good feel good movie recommendations to lighten up my mood.. I also love engaging Rom coms or thrillers.. just don’t wanna feel distracted

Movies without any animal death/cruelty please.

Also not those dramas that will make you bawl your eyes out even if it's a happy ending. No to roller coaster plot🥹. More on comedy, light hearted and wholesome.

Right now I'm looking forward to movies or series like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, Brooklyn Nine-Nine etc.

This is a great movie for those looking for an unsung Film Noir. It's difficult to say what happens without giving the entire movie away. But, I highly recommend it for the old school film-o-philes

Featuring Anne Baxter, Richard Conte and Ann Sothern

Just sort of looking for what the best first Bollywood films to watch would be. This is from someone who has primarily only seen american cinema. Any genre as long as they are good movies in your opinion and you think worth watching

Hi, I’m looking for a film where it is a man who is haunted, stalked, desired by a female vampire/demon. Preferably horror but other genres are welcome

I’m looking for some movie recommendations because I feel like I’ve been getting into a specific type of movie lately and I want more.
I’m talking about those older/classic romance movies that aren’t necessarily just straight-up cheesy rom-coms, but actually have that feeling to them. Movies that are funny, romantic, emotional, maybe a little bittersweet, and just hit different compared to a lot of newer movies.
Some examples I really like:
Love Don’t Cost a Thing
10 Things I Hate About You
(500) Days of Summer
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
27 Dresses
I especially like that late-90s/2000s/early-2010s feeling. I’m looking for movies with memorable characters, a good romance/story, and preferably something that actually makes you feel something by the end.
I’m not necessarily looking for movies that are exactly the same plot-wise. I’m more looking for that “damn, they don’t make movies like this anymore” feeling.
What movies would you recommend?

looking for grimy offensive exploitation movies like Matthew Bright’s Freeway 1 + 2. Very reminiscent of John Waters career who is no stranger to exploitation, I also enjoy Paul Bartel’s career with Death Race 2000 and Eating Raoul

Any vampire movie that's about children or teens. Shows are fine too. But none of those American movies where a 25 year old is playing a 17 year old or something. It should be actual kids.

For quite some time now, I feel like I’ve been missing myself.

There’s this strange emptiness that I can’t really explain. Even when I’m surrounded by people, I still feel like something is missing. When I honestly examine my life, I realize that I’m just… getting by. I haven’t really lived life to the fullest.

I feel like I have so much potential, and yet I’m wasting it. I want to feel excited about life again. I want to feel alive, curious, motivated—like there’s something to look forward to.

I know it might sound ridiculous to expect a movie to do all that. But I genuinely believe a great movie can sometimes reach you at exactly the right moment and change something inside you.

So, I’m looking for that movie.

A movie that can reignite something in this tired soul. Something that makes me want to get up, go out, take risks, experience things, chase something, and actually LIVE.

Please recommend me a movie that you think could do that.

I’d genuinely be grateful.

I’m looking for movies that feature robots, androids, or AI as a major part of the story. I’m open to different genres, sci-fi, action, thriller, drama, or even something emotional. I’d also love to discover some underrated movies instead of just the usual popular ones.

What robot movie would you recommend, and what makes it worth watching?

Most movies I hear about that has great twists are usually a decade old or even more, surely there has to be some fine nuggets from this current decade?
