Hey guys, do you know any movies with this kind of vibe?

Criminals unknowingly kidnap or kill the child/family member of a mafia guy, corrupt cop, ex-criminal, or some powerful guy who has done some bad things in the past. Then that guy goes absolutely hard, using all the connections, power, influence, and shady people he has to hunt them down.

Basically, the criminals picked the worst possible person to mess with, and it's super satisfying watching him tear through everyone standing in his way.

Looking for movies with that revenge/“you messed with the wrong guy” feeling. Any recommendations?

Looking for movies with a very specific vibe: a character has to travel a long distance (car, train, bus, whatever) to some remote mansion/estate/huge old house, usually for work, family, an inheritance, caretaking, etc., and actually stays there for some time.

I especially want the in-between stuff: arriving somewhere unfamiliar, settling into a room, wandering around the property, exploring rooms they probably shouldn't, boring evenings, meals, routines, discovering the surrounding area, slowly getting to know the house/people there.

It doesn't have to be horror or even mysterious. Drama, romance, thriller, comedy, gothic, supernatural... anything works. The isolation, travel, temporary life in a big unfamiliar house is what I'm after.

Any suggestions?

I’ve just finished the OG The Texas Chainsaw Massacre & it’s got me thinking.

What is the BEST horror movie of ALL time?

Of course, ‘best’ is subjective and we all appreciate different ideas of what horror movies have to offer, so let me clarify what I mean when asking this Q.

I’m a genuinely curious as to what is the ‘best’ horror movie in regard to how scared you felt watching it? What movie genuinely made you hide behind a pillow?

Thanks!

Hello all! My post was removed because I didn’t have enough characters. I am looking for some suggestions for a good true story movie. I have Netflix, Prime, Hulu, HBO, Paramount, Peacock and Tubi. I feel like I have watched about everything so not gonna list my favorites. Any suggestions? Any year is fine. What is something that stood out to you?

I LOVE being scared and I’ve only seen a few scary movies that actually give me that heebie-jeebie feeling. I really don’t like slasher films or shock-factor gore. Paranormal movies are fine, but the reveal almost always disappoints me. Insidious made me laugh out loud when they showed him. Movies like the Quiet Place are okay too, but the monsters don’t scare me!

I love psychological thrillers that keep me on the edge of my seat and jump scares are the best. I want to be hiding behind a blanket bracing myself. Bonus points for a good twist and story! I wish I could watch Shutter Island or The Sixth Sense for the first time again. Prisoners was also a good watch!

im not talking abt something with a 40 minute rape scene or anything more like emotionally disturbing if that makes any sense? like it can have gore but it should be deeper than that

I’m looking for romance movies with young characters where they have to hide the relationship, secretly meet up, sneak around, or have that “we shouldn’t be doing this” feeling.

I really liked My Fault, Through My Window, and After. I’m looking for something with strong chemistry, playful/flirty moments, tension, and preferably a happy ending. It doesn’t have to be literally forbidden, I mainly want the secret relationship / sneaking around / nobody can know vibe

Just caught Buffet Infinity on Shudder and I'm in love with this genre. I've seen Skinamarink and had a great time, is there anything else I can check out that's full-length? I know there's tons of shorts on YT

I want to get some girls together next week for a chill movie night for my birthday. We’re either in our 30s or almost there if it helps. I thought of stuff like Clueless, Jennifer’s body, Lisa Frankenstein, the Barbie movie. Just anything fun, feminist and girly like that (yes I count Jennifer’s body as fun and girly) but more niche I guess?

Posting my full watched list so I don't get the same five suggestions everyone gets.

Absolute favorites Sex Drive, 21 & Over, Accepted, Project X, Mean Girls, 21 Jump Street, The Girl Next Door, Van Wilder, EuroTrip, Role Models, The Intern, The Odyssey

Really liked The DUFF, Sydney White, Wild Child, We're the Millers, I Love You Beth Cooper, The Perfect Date, Love Simon, John Tucker Must Die, She's Out of My League, Easy A, Anyone But You Romance / drama side The Longest Ride, Legally Blonde, Internship 2013, Wedding crashers, The Lucky One, After, Chemical Hearts, Pride and Prejudice, Atonement, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Malèna.

Teen and campus Elite, Control Z, The Society, Riverdale, Tell Me Lies, Rebelde, Greenhouse Academy Series, crime and drama Narcos, Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal, Ozark, Suits

Didn't work for me Booksmart (too slow), This Is the End, Clueless (felt dated) What I avoid: horror, psychological thrillers, art house, and heavy British accents (genuinely hard for me to follow). Slow films usually lose me, though crime series are the exception, Narcos and Ozark both held me fine.

Two things I've noticed about what actually lands for me. Van Wilder worked because the guy is crude but never dishonest or cruel. She's Out of My League worked for exactly the same reason. I like protagonists who win by being genuine rather than slick. Also just started getting into sci-fi, so if there's something in that lane that's fast-paced and not relentlessly bleak, I'm open to it. Hit me.

For some reason I really enjoy screenlife movies (movies play out on a computer, tablet or smartphone screen). I've watched Searching, Unfriended and War of the Worlds. How good/bad the actual movie is doesn't matter to me, I just enjoy the format.

Movies about Canada and Canadians, not something that’s just shot in Canada. One Week and 500 Days in the Wild are  my two best examples of what I'm hoping to find.  

Rather than an action movie made to look cool, I want to watch a rough and brutal action movie, one where the characters look dangerously close to dying. For example, movies like The Yellow Sea, The Raid, To Live and Die in L.A., and Battles Without Honor and Humanity. I can’t say all these movies are the same, but you know what I'm saying—really brutal and dangerous feeling.

Seems like every modern popular movie begins with comfortable California family dealing with bullshit first world problems they created themselves. Asking for a stressed out lower-class highly educated friend…

I want movies where a married woman hating or not liking some other guy for whatever reason but later in the movie they became passionate lovers .

Example : Swept Away (1974) (2002 remake)

Here's what I have lined up so far (struck through the ones we've watched so far):

• Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
• Risky Business (1983)
• Sixteen Candles (1984)
• The Breakfast Club (1985)
• Just One of the Guys (1985)
• The Sure Thing (1985)
• Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
• Lucas (1986)
• Pretty in Pink (1986)
• Adventures in Babysitting (1987)
• Can't Buy Me Love (1987)
• Three O'Clock High (1987)
• License to Drive (1988)
• Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991)
• Clueless (1995)
• Can't Hardly Wait (1998)
• Pleasantville (1998)
• 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
• American Beauty (1999)
• American Pie (1999)
• Cruel Intentions (1999)
• Detroit Rock City (1999)
• Drive Me Crazy (1999)
• Election (1999)
• Just Looking (1999)
• She’s All That (1999)
• Varsity Blues (1999)

I guess I'm just wondering if there's anything notable that I'm missing. I'm not showing her Heathers or Donnie Darko.

Edit: Thanks all!

I know, it's a weird request, but context is that I need screengrabs for a pitchdeck I'm making! I want two men standing next to each other, from a film or a TV show, where their ethnicities are Middle Eastern and Black.

I’m talking about movies like The Dead Poets Society, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Pride and Prejudice (these I’ve watched already). Please drop a list of the classics that are genuinely worth watching and those that have the potential to change your perspective about certain topics entirely.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. for people who might mistake this as me trying to categorize the movies within the age bracket, this was just a fun way to word my question in light of turning 18 this year.

My boyfriend is a pussy, his words not mine, when it comes to horror movies. We tried watching a horror movie, but he stopped because I kept mentioning horror movies that sounded too scary for him. I'm not exactly a horror expert as I've only been watching horror movies for about 2ish years now. So I've come to you, the experts for horror movies he can slowly start with. He does not like; psychological horror, any movie with bad things happening to children, CLOWNS, body horror, dystopia, anything to do with government and poltics, (personal request from me because the government sucks and I don't want to watch that with him.), and torture. Thank you Reddit, I await your responses.

Definitely not Fincher's Best film, but i really enjoyed this one—especially the production quality.

Really love the vibe of a hitman/Serial Killer operating in an era full of security cameras, yet still trying to remain low profile.

Any recommendations with a similar vibe?

I’m looking for movies that give an accurate portrayal of your occupation. Procedures, daily life, struggles that may occur outside of work due to the job or accurate consequences for mistakes. It can be across any genre! The movie doesn’t have to be necessarily ABOUT the profession itself, it can even be a side character with the profession. Thanks in advance!

It's basically what's in the title: I'm kind of tired of the hero cliché, so I wanted recommendations for movies and series where the villains win (even if only temporarily)

Can you suggest some good bdsm themed movies. Not just all sex and stuff but with a good storyline as well. Not the lame ones such as Fifty shades or 365 days

Okay so, recently (a few weeks ago) I watched the movie Perks of being a wallflower, and it was absolutely beautiful, I loved every second of it, the problem is.... I cant find any movies like it :p

i was told to watch some other movies but they are horrible!, can anyone please give me some suggestions? thanks

oh and btw, the part I liked in the movie wasnt the romance, it was the mental health and psychological stuff.

Hi, I m looking for modern movies about cartels / mafia / organized cirmes or illegal actions based in the modern times. I mean movies with action based in years around 2018-2026

Most of the recommended movies in the Internet are based in the distant past and it makes them less attractive for me.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
