Movie recs??

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

J. Daniel Mitchell

professor whiskers for both

Blade runner - YES!! War of the Roses or Romantic Comedy - NO!!!

Rangiku

Hans Moleman presents: "Man Getting hit by Football" https://youtu.be/WUTVmuqviqE

Return of the Living Dead (Perfectly 80s horror), Monster Squad (Goonies + monsters), Lost Boys (80s teen vampires), Cabin in the Woods (Fun twist on horror genre), and Tucker & Dale VS Evil (Twist on killer hillbillies). There's other more cinematic, high-brow horror, but these really hit the sweet spot of fun camp and horror.

Rob

a boy and his dog yes, blade 3 no

A.M.

Whiplash, phenomenal film, J.K Simmons puts in an incredible performance. Also Jazzzzzzzzzzz

Cats is everything

Fact Check: Man Bites Dog is Belgian. Got to give the little guys credit when it's due.

Recommend - Train to Busan. Don't Recommend - The Dead Don't Die.

Cory Gilbertson

In Bruges and Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star. One is good and one isn't, but I refuse to say which is which

Withnail & I is a great combination of funny and wistfully sad. But you guys probably know that movie already. Deerhunter is intense and fucked but so good. Also you guys should watch The Wire if you haven't already (prestige-level American crime drama, you've probably heard of it...positively Shakespearean).

Pickpocket, Breathless, La Haine, Man Bites Dog. These are the Frenchest films that y'all ought to watch.

Recommend Funny Games / Don‘t recommend Funny Games US (Shot-for-shot Remake with higher Budget und worse actors)

Phil

I can reccomend Chicken Run, and also cant reccomend Chicken Run. You should watch Chicken Run.

Highly wouldn’t recommend the Godfather or Blade Runner, both very boring and overrated. Sorry everyone

I’d recommend Bong Joon-ho’s the Host. Not as good as parasite but still good. I would not recommend Disney’s Peter Pan, it’s full of racism, sexism and boredom.

Freddie Baker

Fifth element, Parasite

Glen J Measday

Just recently went through all of BBC's Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II. Everybody who hasn't seen those should absolutely get on it! Incredible documentaries.

Recommended: Fitzcarraldo - typical Werner Herzog craziness, the documentary about the making of the movie is almost as good as the actual thing. He basically fly the cast out into the middle of the Amazon rainforest and put them into increasingly life-threatening situations until half of them quit. At one point the lead actor (Klaus Kinski) got into a vicious argument and started waving a gun around at Werner Herzog. They also tried to replicate the actions of the movie's hero/antihero by quite literally dragging a tugboat over a mountain. Not Recommended: Podcast 194 - Quantitative vs Qualitative Data (just a cheeky joke)

Recommended: futureworld not recommended: the host

Rec: Jimmy Stuart classic film "Harvey" Not Rec: Season 4 of "Community"

It's a small movie called avengers endgame, you should really check it out

Danyal Shameem

I would recommend The Expanse. Superior world building to any other sci series. I would also recommend Jordi Roca episode of Chef's Table

I wouldn't recommend Dead Silence starring Ryan Kwanten. It's a rare flop from James Wan.

I enjoyed The Ritual on Netflix. Possibly biased because I think Rafe Spall is fine as hell

Wouldn’t recommend the American version of Let The Right One In but would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Swedish version! Honestly one of my fav horror/thriller films, if you’re the type to be okay with subtitles

Haezan

Would highly recommend The Lighthouse with Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattison. From listening to your movie podcasts I think you all would really like that movie. Only came out in Feb, so I’m not sure if it’s on any streaming services yet, but ya could always rent it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Haezan

Would recommend "The last airbender" (2010)

Recommend Resolution, immediately followed by The Endless. Resolution is an interesting take on the horror genre that discusses the meta in a different way than Cabin in the Woods. The Endless expands on the in-universe lore without explicitly calling itself a sequel. Would also recommend the documentaries The Act of Killing followed by The Look of Silence. Covering the Indonesian mass killings in the 60s, the Act of Killing follows the perpetrators in the current day, now revered as heroes and are asked to reenact their actions. The Look of Silence follows the surviving brother of one of the victims of the mass killings as he attempts to confront the murderers. Wouldn't recommend Shirkers. The editing and visuals were fantastically done, but I found the subject matter boring and a "non-story", despite the fact that it's a documentary about filmmaking, which I typically find interesting (like Side by Side). Also the documentarian was an arrogant, annoying character who brought nothing to the table except unnecessary drama.

I would say don't watch Dangerous Lies on Netflix but it's the most predictable, generic and cliched thriller I've ever seen, that I recommend it hahahaha also, Ross' dad from friends is in it lol

Joash

Would recommend "Arrival" Wouldn't recommend "Star Wars 9: Revenge of the dead dude who then dies again"

David Falconer

If you want something older my favorite movie of all time Maximum Overdrive. Killer trucks possessed by outer space gas. Otherwise the Creepshow films are great old horror!

Recommend green book, wouldn't recommend the Platform

Nash Lawrence

Oh, and if you’re up to it do a Bong Joon Ho-a-thon then you could go through all of his films from start to fin

bennymakesgames

Under the Silver Lake for both

Recommendation: Mandy - honestly this movie is the biggest mind trip ever AND you get Nic Cage as a bonus. Wouldn’t recommend: Alien 3. Absolute shit stain on the franchise. CGI is laughably bad and they kill off a bunch of characters off screen.

Really depends on what you want to watch. Movies are so diverse that it’s best to just cater to someone’s taste But jf y’all liked Moneyball you’ll probably like other Sorkin-written stuff: Molly’s Game, Steve Jobs (Fassbender not Kutcher), The Social Network. If you just like good writing, don’t know how y’all feel about Kaufman but if ya fux with trippy eternal love stories, try Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. If ya watched and liked that, move on to his other stuff like Anomalisa, Synecdoche New York or Being John Malkovich. These are the ones I’d imagine Zach has already seen, like, 10 times each. Maybe.

I would recommend What We Do In the Shadows. I would not recommend Bohemian Rhapsody. I know it was popular but I think it's terrible.

Kylie Jones

Into the spiderverse. Loved it more than I should have, connected too some personal feels bruh. The Fanatic from John Travolta was so bad, I don't recommend but I Lowkey do! Cos it's so bad it's good 😂

I would not recommend I am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House. But Osgood Perkins' previous film, the Blackcoat's Daughter is wonderful.

Evan S. Darling

Green Room, Mal educación, and tickled are all fantastic. But each ranging from kind of disturbing to super disturbing

I watched I Lost My Body on Netflix after mark mentioned it a while ago and it was so good!!! Thanks marky :)

Sam Hazell

You know that one where he fucks his phone

Tayler Stewart

Der Rauber is a fantastic film. Also Happiness by Todd Solondz

Evan S. Darling

Watch: Get Out Don't watch: Us

Good Time. I honestly didn't know if I liked it til it finished, but ultimately I think I really liked it. I love a street cast movie

Geordie McGrath

I think I'd be really interested to hear Zack's opinions on some of Guy Richie's earlier films such as Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch compared to some of his later works like Aladdin and King Arthur (take a guess at which ones I prefer :p)

Alex Mader

Don't watch star wars.. It'll ruin your childhood.... Do watch children of men, it'll ruin your childhood

I'd recommend Custody

Highly recommend porn but DON'T recommend too much porn, causing you to lose touch with reality

Rec Frances Ha not Passengers

Playing with Fire

The 1999 The Mummy Movie Starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz

Transformers: Revenge of the fallen

Fat Hal, the Fat Hal movie

I Recommend the man with two brains. Classic Steve Martin. One of his funniest by far.

Rec The Fifth Element. Not Cloverfield

Code Monkey

Green room is scary and good

Wouldn’t recommend Love Wedding Repeat, literally the worst movie I have ever seen

Onward, the new Pixar one. Would not recommend I cried like a lil baby

Andrew Sommerich

paul blart mall cop 2

Captain Fantastic

Phantom of the Paradise I'd recommend, I would NOT recommend High Life
