Film Recommendation

Random selection, might not, or might be your taste.

Das Boot! (the 3.5h version)

Saw it on VHS 15 years ago, and knew it was good, but I remembered I found it boring then. I couldn't turn it off! Awesome, fantastic film. Just the opening scenes where they have a party is unforgettable. Great, great, great film.

Takeshi Kitano's: "Hana-bi" (1997)

Very good revenge-film about a detective that goes on a last journey with his wife.. :)

Stalker (1979) Andrey Tarkovsky

One of the strangest films you will likely ever see. See it with an open mind, like a child. Don't try to understand, and just be with yourself while watching it. If you are patient enough, it will reward you like no other film you have seen, or will see. (Not for everyone though.. don't watch it while sleepy!)

I remember watching this many years ago after a party so I was tired, and drunk.

Movie was alright but I didn't understand anything, lol. Have to re-watch sometime soon.

I do remember it had a lot of weird symbolism that needs a clear mind.

Watched the Moon which someone recommended in the thread. Great movie. Love the soundtrack

Primer- science fiction- is a 2004 American science fiction drama film about the accidental discovery of a means of time travel. The film was written, directed, and produced by Shane Carruth and was completed on a budget of $7,000. Lots of technical jargon- it takes a bit of concentration to keep up and piece everything together, but it's not too difficult.

The Mist (I'm pretty sure someone recommended this movie in that older topic about movies).

Also, I liked Monsters but many find it incredibly boring for some reason. I liked it a lot more than District 9.

One of my favorite movies is The Fountain. Most people can't stand that movie. If you happen to like The Fountain I suggest you watch two more movies directed by Darren Aronofsky: The Wrestler and Pi (great little movie). You can skip his other movies, Black Swan is garbage and Requiem for a Dream, while being a great movie is an awful experience because it portraits life of drug addicts and that ain't pretty (if you like to watch that stuff I also recommend Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo).

I'm not sure have you seen some iconic movies of the past like: Predator, Conan the Barbarian and imho the best sci-fi movie ever made (I prefer it over Terminator 2: Judgement Day and Blade Runner) Paul Verhoeven's The Robocop.

Also great and quite famous movie which I recommend is No Country for Old Men. If you happen to like it, you can try Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men (it's pretty depressing but has certain quality, it's quite realistic movie despite being sci-fi)

And if that's not enough for you, try to find english subs for the most expensive and legendary serbian movie Boj na Kosovu. It has some hardcore nationalistic views but it's epic gore fest and battle scenes aren't half bad. It explains Serbia very well. Probably the one medieval battle movie you haven't seen yet.

Also there's another movie I'm quite sure many people haven't seen, it's called The Boys from Brazil.

I highly doubt that guys story wasn't complete bullshit.

I highly doubt that guys story wasn't complete bullshit.

Eh, possible. I just tried to avoid the "based on true story" part in general while watching it, just to enjoy it more. Which I did. I looked it up. Alot of people involved did state that the guys story was bullshite. In which he replied it was a "statesecret". Which is wierd as hell due to the fact that everybody knew that Saddam himself had alot of doubles and yet nobody knew anything about his son having a double. I mean Saddam was the Man there, shouldnt his doubles have been a bigger state secret than his sons? Just dont take it as a true story and its a solid actionmovie.

What you've watched it during the age of 4-8 ? 

Yah. Used to sneak out of bed to watch it with my brother when I was around around 7 or so. It always aired around midnight.

Rewatched it again 5-6 years ago or so. Still love it, though it is pretty cheesy at points 
It took a while to reach Finland.

Stalker is quite an experience, just enjoy the scenery and athmosphere. But like with many older movies, don't get impatient.

I like Aronofsky a lot, and especially The Fountain . What I love about the movie is that while it is hard to get what it is all about it becomes pretty clear and simple if you rewatch and it does all make sense. I liked Black Swan though, too... Pi has the best pill-swallow scenes in movie history, also Autechre as film music!

And I liked Monsters and District 9 both. Btw what has Children of Men to do with No Country for Old Men? very good movies anyway.


On a different note I recommend the original The Day of the Jackal a lot, great movie and much better than the remake, IMO. (great to compare though, the gun for example )

Also I highly recommend every single movie by Paul Thomas Anderson. Sidney is great (Samuel Jackson in full leather ), There will be Blood is a masterpiece and who doesn't know Magnolia?

The Fast and Furious, but with the homoerotic scenes.

If you haven't seen Seven Samurai, I highly recommend it. 

"Seven Samurai (七人の侍 Shichinin no Samurai?) is a 1954 Japanese period adventure drama film co-written, edited, and directed by Akira Kurosawa. The film takes place in 1587 during the Warring States Period of Japan. It follows the story of a village of farmers that hire seven masterless samurai (ronin) to combat bandits who will return after the harvest to steal their crops.

Seven Samurai is described as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made,[2] and is one of a select few Japanese films to become widely known in the West for an extended period of time. It is the subject of both popular and critical acclaim; it was voted onto the top three of the Sight & Sound critics' list of greatest films of all time in 1982, and onto the directors' top ten films lists in the 1992 and 2002 polls.[3]" ~ wikipedia

Did anyone watch L'Assault (French movie)? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1793239/

It got pretty low rating (5.9) on imdb for some reason but I loved it and it's a really great movie if you like movies about special forces. It's based on a real event where terrorists hijacked a french airplane in Algeria in 1994. There's no 360-no-scope-headshot-pistol-dual-wielding heroes in the movie so it doesn't really follow Hollywood style movies which might be the reason for the low rating.

Nonetheless I recommend this movie and The Eagle and Argo, for now. I might recommend more
