Shiva Baby made me laugh and cringe so hard at the same time. It’s such a masterclass of what it feels like to be suffocated by your family and friends while also trying to keep your head above water and be kind to yourself. Plus Diana Agron is in it so that alone is worth it. I can’t recommend this movie enough.
L😅😊😅😊
Shiva Baby gave me so much anxiety but I still think it was fantastic.
Shiva baby was on my top 10 list last year thought it was excellent
Totally. It was one of my top 10 movies of 2021. It is a perfect little gem.
i absolutely felt the same ^^ it was a super fun ride
My biggest flex is that I already watched all these movies.
Wow that's so cool
I’ve watched like 7 movies on this list. I agree with some inclusions like Sound of Metal which is really underrated. Perfect Blue is really good but exactly underrated as I think anyone who watches anime beyond only the popular seasonal stuff has seen it and The Nice Guys was big among action movie fans when released. Didn’t really like Equilibrium
Do you agree that they are good?
It's not that secret so nothing to be proud of.
I've only seen Shiva Baby amd Perfect Blue but looking forward to checking out the rest.
A little correction; Fahrenheit 451 is a novel by Rad Bradbury, and Francois Truffaut made a movie from the story.
idk why I was thinking Orwell wrote it
I think it's because the dystopian realms of 1984 (and maybe some other pieces from Orwell) and Fahrenheit 451 are quite similar and both focuses on the story of a rebel protagonist(s) under a totalitarian government and their ridiculous rules.
As a Kenyan its so suprising to see Rafiki on here. Its truly an underrated gem that should be appreciated by a wider audience
Karibu
I’m gonna watch this movie
3:30 - the wolf of snow hollow
6:48 - equilibrium
11:21 - dope
14:33 - perfect blue
18:42 - shiva baby
24:58 - rafiki
28:13 - the invitation
30:09 - sound of metal
33:16 - heart attack (freelance)
34:14 - bergman island
36:22 - ingrid goes west
36:33 - thunder road
36:39 - 3:10 to yuma
36:47 - ready or not
37:10 - the nice guys
This will make going back and writing these down so much easier, thanks.
@@blaze14ZX they are literally timestamped in the video description...
Thank god. Was not about to spend 45 minutes on this list.
It's Ingrid Goes West, not Wild.
@@LivyRivy lol goes wild sounds like it is the pr0n knock off
I loved Ready or Not. I watched it in the cinema and was so surprised at how good it was and how few people came to watch it.
The marketing made it seem like a straightforward thriller/horror movie as opposed to a comedy thriller, which I think turns a lot of people off. Still was a box office success, so that's good.
Agreed. I wonder if there are more movies like it. I aspire to make something as Fun as Ready or Not. It's a really good premise
I’ve watched this movie like 4, 5 times, I loved it
I watched that movie when the pandemic came around and I got nothing else to do and was so surprised by how funny it can be too.
I even made a hot take that Ready or Not is way more watchable than Joker
It's a good movie but it shouldn't be mentioned because it was a box office hit, he said he is talking about underrated movies which are good movies people haven't heard of or aka didn't make any money even though the movie is really good. A good example of a underrated movie is the 1995 movie Strange Days, it's a really good movie but when it first came out it was a huge box office failure.
Shiva baby is an excellent thriller. Since it’s low stakes people don’t think of it in that vein but what makes it extra thrilling is that it’s real. Its situations we can all imagine ourselves in. That’s what actually makes it scary as hell.
I was so fucking stressed out by that movie. Plus it also triggered me a little bit because I just found out that my ex was cheating on me and every cheating scene in every media triggered me. 😅
Also I'm a very honest person and lying stresses me out. So that was my perfect "horror"movie
I love Perfect Blue so, so much. And I'm so glad you brought up Dope, because I completely forgot about it and I remember absolutely loving it.
Also, Ingrid Goes West is phenomenal. Despite social media changing since it came out, it still always feels like the most realistic portrayal of any movie dealing with social media.
I LOVED Ingrid Goes West
If you liked Ingrid Goes West and don't mind slasher films, Sissy from this year plays with similar themes and is interesting.
Wasn't Perfect Blue more-or-less wholesale ripped off by Aronofsky for Black Swan? I know he vehemently denies it, but after finally watching this one I gotta say, I like Black Swan a lot less than I used to.
The long scene in Equilibrium where Christian Bale is staring at a puppy and is trying to not have emotions is one the greatest things I've ever seen in a movie. The perfect blend of funny and camp.
Only repeated in Terminator Salvation
Christian Bale did a great job in that movie. He portrayed a detached coldness in the beginning. Then slowly you see flashes of emotion as the movie progresses. It's not overdone. I was completely draw into his performance.
I think The Nice Guys is actually my favorite film of all time. It is so expertly timed with comedy, filmed gorgeously, perfectly cast, with some of the best production design ever put to screen. Wind River is also pretty high up there for me personally. That movie is super fucking depressing and again expertly made. Very well written story especially of such heavy subject matter and really wish it didn’t fly under so many peoples’ radar.
I highly recommend watching “kiss kiss bang bang” it’s a much better film than “the nice guys”
@@arunbenny808 Oh shit yeah. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is definitely good, I couldn’t personally get into it myself, but I can’t deny that it’s also a really good Shane Black movie.
I think its incredible that a movie as good as The Nice Guys fell under the radar like it did. Its so good, the comedy is like machine gun fire of jokes that are hilarious but never break the tension of the scenes that are meant to be serious. Also its full of memorable scenes and one liners. Huge shame that we never got a sequel, really hope the sort of cult status it has garnered can make it happen some time in the future.
I appreciate how unapologetic Shiva Baby was in its portrayal of bisexuality and of sex work. So many movies act as those they have to make this big statement about the validity of sex work or the reality of bisexual identities in a binary world, but this movie just made them feel like another aspect of an already painfully authentic experience of this young woman's life.
Seligman says that was based on the fact that when she went to NYU, it was an open secret that many students had sugar daddies. It was normal, but hardly anyone talked about it, and she wanted to bring out that experience
I found Perfect Blue by accident in the anime section of my local video rental shop while I was in college. It blew my mind. I’ve tried to show it to people and they often dismiss it because they aren’t into anime or think it’s fluff. Nobody believes me when I tell them it’s an amazing, dark, twisted mystery. Thanks for highlighting it, more people need to see it.
The fact that Equilibrium's cast is basically the Dark Knight Trilogy's Batman vs the Gotham TV series' Alfred always makes me laugh
You've asked for recommendations so here is mine: "The Fall" by Tarsem Singh (2006) - the visuals, the process of making this movie, the child actress that learned English during filming which was taken into account while making it, the little amount of special effects in the movie (stated by the director)... I saw it kind of on accident on TV (wanted to see it for Lee Pace anyway) and after it ended I wanted to immediately replay to see what I missed. And just to add something form my country, Poland (though it was filmed in Portugal with international cast, in English) - "Imagine" by Andrzej Jakimowski (2012) - a story of a blind man, a teacher for blind kids, who refuses to use the traditional methods of space perception to the point where the kids accuse him of lying when it comes to his blindness.
I adore The Fall! Our art teacher had us watch it in high school and I've never fallen in love with a movie so quickly, it's so good.
@@TamyM I bought the edition with commentary track just to learn more ;) Damn, just watched a trailer and made myself want to watch it again. And the random facts that surfaced (like the stunt man that almost killed himself while falling of the horse mid run so the director really make that take seen...). Eh, I feel like I'm gonna watch it again soon... ;)
@@katarzynaw4664 I think I'm gonna be watching it again soon as well haha
I was gonna comment this one! This is my favorite movie of all time, it's so beautiful!
Too bad it impossible to find, you can't even stream it on illegale sites.
So great to see The Nice Guys finally getting some recognition, it's definitely in my top 10 favorite movies! Also, I love Ryan Gosling's performance in this role, he's a really versatile actor and so great at comedy! If you haven't seen it yet, I really recommend Lars and the Real Girl, another fun movie with him c:
The Nice Guys is great. See also, the very similar (and also written and directed by Shane Black) Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, where Robert Downey Jr. has more than a cameo.
My personal recommendations would be "Only Lovers Left Alive" (with Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton) and "What Lies Beneath" (Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer) both excellent little gems. OLLA is filmed entirely at night in Marrakech and Detroit, and has gorgeous, very chill music. WLB is a mildly spooky thriller with some phenomenal acting.
If only you'd placed Shiva at number 7!
Was literally just telling my friend about this one, as I'm currently mourning the loss of my grandmother and sitting Shiva. Btw a Shiva isn't a Jewish funeral, it follows the 7 days post the burial, and consists of the children of the deceased who are there all the time (at least in Mizrahi jews) including their children. It gives people who knew the deceased a chance to console the family, help them take care of everything by bringing them food and making sure everyone is comfortable.
There's another movie about Shiva called "This is Where I leave you" with Adam Driver and Tina Fey! That's where I learned about the tradition and it explores the tensions it can cause, but also the heartwarming side of it as well! And it's filmed in a "lighter" way then Shiva Baby seems to be. Might be a good option for those too anxious to watch Shiva Baby😅
one movie Ill always recommend is "dear zindagi" . its a Bollywood movie which deconstruct grief , family trauma and i just love it . its kinda like coming of age movie and how to navigate the world and relationships as a young adult and I know it kinda sounds generic but please watch it , its definitely worth it
I've seen this movie, actually quite good
C'mon C'mon from last year is severely unnoticed considering it's an A24 release and stars Joaquin Phoenix. It's such a special little film about childhood and about how it can get a bit overwhelming sometimes for children to process their emotions. The film felt like a hug, it's full of love and understanding and compassion for everyone and everything. It's amazing and I'm always surprised by it not getting any award nods or even just twitter hype, felt so overlooked but it deserves so so much more attention.
Also:
Cha Cha Real Smooth (2022)
Mustang (2015)
Perfect Sense (2011)
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015)
On the Count of Three (2021)
Me Earl and the dying girl Is a really good movie, I'll make sure to look at the rest on the list
A movie I never hear anyone talk about that I think is truly amazing is “stranger than fiction” starring will Ferrell. It is the only serious role I’ve seen him do and the entire story line is so incredible and riveting. You should definitely check it out. Love your videos!
Yup great movie!
One movie I wish more people knew about is "lake michigan monster" the best way I can describe it is that it's one of the most genuinely unique movies I've ever seen. It starts out as a parody of old monster movies from the 50's and then just goes in its own insane direction
Schaffrillas? 🤣
Is that the one with Betty White? I remember wanting to see it when it came out, but never got to, and now I only vaguely remember it exists once every couple years.
A movie I think is super underrated is Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri. It got a bit of attention at the Oscar’s a few years ago but I don’t see people talk about it much. It’s a great drama about a woman trying to get justice for her daughter’s assault and murder by calling out the police department of her town for not doing enough and we see how her grief leads her and the rest of the town to really messed up and even violent places, and despite the bleak premise it also manages to have great dark comedy throughout. The cast is fantastic, it stars Francis Mcdormand, Sam Rockwell, and Woody Harrelson.
You’re SPOT ON! I watched it during its Oscar buzz mainly because I tend to like Sam Rockwell’s choice in movies…and it’s just one of those movies that is like no other. Massively underrated (more than a few of his movies are underrated to me)
dude fr fr, its currently one of my favorites rn. some super great dialouge and nuanced performances.
you're so right.
i absolutely love this movie and it deserves more recognition.
100% Top Movie
... a movie that's a critic's, festival's and audience's darling is anything, but "underrated".
Same issue I've got with Nice Guys being No. 1 - that movie was great, easily one of the best of its year... but it just wasn't underrated. It's like saying Riders of the Lost Ark is a barely known adventure flick
one of thee MOST underrated movies in recent history I can think of is Seven Psychopaths - it's about a struggling screenwriter trying to write his next movie but has writer's block, but he gets caught up in the criminal world after his friend kidnaps a crime boss's dog as a con. I have watched that movie multiple times since it's release and just everything about it is so seamless. And the dark humour is genuinely so well crafted and the subtlety and balance of everyone's performances (Colin Ferrell, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken, Woody Harrelson like come onnn) make for a fantastic and chaotic ride, I don't wanna say much else so I'll leave it there, but seriously I strongly recommend it and wish it got more love!
Also The Hunt I think is strongly underrated, The Last Black Man in San Francisco had it's moment for a split second but fell under the radar but it's truly one of my favourite movies in the last few years (and is basically the catalyst for Jonathan Majors recognition now! he is phenomenal in it), Gattaca
Happy you mentioned Equilibrium I was obsessed with it as a child too and is definitely something that's worth a rewatch. AND FINALLY SOME RECOGNITION FOR THE NICE GUYS !!!
Saw the first two; need to check out your last two choices!
The Invitation is definitely criminally underrated. The premise is so good and so intriguing that it keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Highly recommend watching Coherence if you liked The Invitation! It has a similar premise - indie thriller about a dinner party gone wrong. The stories are very different but both similarily intriguing!
I mean they didn't leave as soon as a guy admitted he killed his wife? It wasn't good at all...
I'm so glad someone is finally goving The Nice Guys the recognition it deserves! Its such a fun movie overall and I kept finding myself going back to it over the years over a lot of other things, although a sequel would be fun, it does so well as a stand alone film it doesnt really need one!
"We can't talk to you. We're dead!"
It's one of my favorite movies I've ever seen, should be a classic at this point
I was so surprised but how hard I laughed throughout the movie 😂👌
Umm, you guys should really consider watching “Kiss kiss bang bang” instead… it’s a way better movie… and it will help you realize what “the nice guys” were actually trying to go for but fell incredibly short in achieving…
@@arunbenny808 what is it about?
I have 2 films I watched recently that I think are underrated:
1. Thoroughbreds - it’s one of the first films Anya Taylor-Joy did and is an all around well-crafted film. It’s best to go into it without knowing too much but basically two best friends, one who is a psychopath awaiting trial for animal cruelty and the other a repressed girl who is keeping secrets, plan to kill the latter’s stepfather. It’s pretty witty and sharp and there’s a 6-minute long take towards the end that will have you on the edge of your seat, not just for the story but for how well it’s set up and shot.
2. Rosaline - this movie was recently dumped on Hulu and to my knowledge it hasn’t really made any noise. It’s a satire comedy of Romeo and Juliet told from the point of view of Rosaline, Romeo’s secret girlfriend that he had when he met Juliet. The movie follows Rosaline as she attempts to get Romeo back and inadvertently is the cause behind the major plot points of R&J. Movies like this can get pretty cheesy or just not funny but this managed to maintain most of its humor and fast pace. It has some classic romantic comedy tropes like enemies to lovers and is all around just a really fun film. Kaitlyn Dever plays the lead and she is perfect.
the number 1, which i can never spell properly... i stumbled upon it a year or two ago and thought it was pretty good, like, personally i enjoyed it and it did make me think about stuff. It was somewhat uncanny and awkward in neither good or bad way. My reaction towards Anya Taylor-Joy in it was more like "what the fuck, this woman is everywhere in every damn genre and now here as well?". It was my introduction to Olivia though, which made me to later watch Sound of Metal, and made me stare weirdly in the article listing the cast for something as massive as House of the Dragon just months ago.
Brimstone is another underrated western. Its a dutch production featuring Dakota Fanning, Guy Pearce, Carice van Houten and Kit Harrington. It is a western thriller with some horror elements. It was very well received in The Netherlands but didn't really do anything in other countries. Highly recommend it!
My recommendation is Martha Marcy May Marlene. To this day it’s the most tense, paranoia-inducing movie I’ve ever seen. Watched it in cinemas twice, and both times multiple people in the cinema literally screamed during a certain scene despite the fact that it’s not at all a jump scare, just because of how tightly-wound the movie makes you. Criminally underrated.
Also it was the movie that put Elizabeth Olson on the map!
The wolf of Snow Hallow is so good! To anyone who likes that movie, I recommend watching The Kid Detective. It's another dark comedy detective movie. The story follows this former kid detective (think Nacy Drew, Hardy Boys, etc) after he couldn't solve the case of what happened to his missing friend. Now in his adulthood, he gets a chance to redeem himself after a high school student asks him to solve the murder of her boyfriend. The Kid Detective has a similar tone and comedy style to The Wolf of Snow Hallow and a great ending.
The Kid Detective was amazing!
I love The Kid Detective! ❤
Ill have to look for it. I love The Wolf of Snow Hollow.
OMG when you said Perfect Blue I nearly fell over lol. I would highly recommend Satoshi Kon's second feature film Millennium Actress if you haven't seen it already. Beside being a animated marvel the story is a heartfelt love letter to early Japanese cinema. Great video, will definitely be watching these over the next few weeks!
I love all the things you rec
they never dissapoint!
At 14:31. Yes to "Perfect Blue"! That was one head trip of a movie--extremely creepy, but also philosophically deep, exploring the many epistemological strains of what it means for a person to have an identity. Even more impressive, it came out in 1997, well before the internet came up with things like social media and murderous incels. And this movie predicted both so perfectly. Another thing that shocked me about this film--it was 89 minutes long. Incredibly short as far as these types of movies go. I credit the very tight scriptwriting and direction here, which was almost genius level. IMHO one of the best movies ever made in the past 40 years anywhere in the world.
one of the best films in history is "the man from earth" - such a simple, yet interesting concept. it pretty much all happens in one room as well. I must have seen it at least 15 times and I am always hooked!
other films I recommend:
5 to 7 - 2014
an education - 2009
frank & lola - 2016
swiss army man - 2016
the handmaiden - 2016
the hunt - 2019
the little prince - 2015
untogether - 2018
the riot club - 2014
the skin i live in - 2011
the voyeurs - 2021
upgrade - 2018
come away - 2020
a bigger splash - 2015
for the ones who like older movies as well:
the shop around the corner - 1940
rope - 1948
The man from earth is so interesting. I always recommend it to people who haven't watched it
I loved The Skin I Live in. I keep forgetting to re-watch it. Maybe your comment is the push I needed.
The Skin I Live In is sooooo messed up, I forgot all about it. The original Secret in Their Eyes is good too.
I had no idea there was a queer African story of any kind that existed and as a queer Nigerian, the accomplishment of Rafiki sounds amazing. I will definitely watch.
A VERY underrated movie I would recommend (though I am HIGHLY biased) is 'Queen of Katwe'. It's a Ugandan film about a girl who trains herself to be good at chess until she is one of the best in Africa(I'm 50% sure it's based on a true story). Lupita Nyong'o plays the girl's mum and I think it is one of her most underrated roles ever. I loved the commentary on West African sexism examined from the lens of the main character, her mum and her sister (TW: SA)
Edit: I also want to recommend a Nigerian movie adaptation called 'Half of a yellow sun', but as a long time fan of Chimamanda Adichie, that is just my nostalgia talking and the book is much better imo, read that instead
dude i swear, i don't watch a lot of movies, and when i finally hear about one that sounds interesting and i get excited to watch it, i find out it has SA, which i can't handle. i don't understand why it's in so. many. shows/movies. it's not like i think they shouldn't be put in shows/movies but why is it in so many??? i recently watched a studio ghibli movie and was really enjoying it but apparently i can't escape it even in ghibli movies.
(ps thank u for the TW, and sorry this comment is probably way too long)
I really liked Queen of Katwe! Sadly though, I live in Switzerland and despite it being a Disney movie, it was never officially released here! Had to watch it on some questionable websites ;)
queen of katwe is so good
Rafiki is a Kenyan movie, not West African.
@@nataliewanjiru5940 Ah, sorry, noted
I love this! Keep up the good work!
Great picks got really excited when you said wolf of snow mountain. One of my favourite films!
I would like to recommend A Monster Calls, it’s a really good film about grief and letting go, but it is portrait in a very creative and poetic way. It’s sad but beautiful at the same time.
A monster calls makes me bawl every time I watch it
Absolutely great video as usual, just a small mistake you made about farenheit 451, the film is Truffaut's but the novel is bradbury's. But going to watch all films, thanks for the recos!
I was wondering if I just missed the fact that maybe Ray Bradbury was a pen name because I was very confused by who he was referring to haha
this is a great selection, thanks!
The sound of metal was INSANELY good and more people need to watch it. It's a movie I will never forget this movie, it was so unique and raw with incredible acting, writing and characters. I will root for this movie until the day I die and the last scene never fails to make me cry.
You've got me interested in dope and shiva baby. Perfect blue was on my watch list for nearly a decade so I guess it's time to eventually watch it. I was going to recommend the nice guys to you and I'm glad you included it in the list
If your love Perfect Blue, watch Paranoia Agent created by Satoshi Kon who also directed Perfect Blue. Paranoia Agent is so good. You'll love it.
Here’s my two cents from France: Rust and Bone, emotional story, basically about two damaged people healing each other, and amazing performances from Marion Cotillard and Matthias Schoenaerts. By the way, this video is such a GREAT idea, not only for your recommendations, which I appreciate very much and will immediately add to my watchlist, being already a fan of Sound of Metal and Equilibrium, but also for all the gems I’ll find in the comments section. Thanks everyone!
Great list. Thanks!
I beg of anyone who reads this to watch Treasure Planet, it was a passion project for the directors since the 80’s and it was finally released on 2002 November 27 (perfect excuse to watch or rewatch it because the 20th anniversary is so soon). It is such a masterpiece, and it’s such a shame that the marketing team did it so dirty. I can’t say much because of legal stuff but it’s marketing designed it to fail because they wanted to cut 2D animation and it worked sadly, hence the cut of 2D animation by Disney in 2004 but luckily none of that effects the actual movie luckily.
Dirty mouse business aside, Treasure Planet is about Jim Hawkins who has a personality of gold, and he finds a map to treasure planet (a place that is thought to be just a legend) so once they start a pirate-space boat ride, Jim learns trusts the cook silver like a father figure after Jim’s real father left and never came back and I can’t say a whole lot after the first like half an hour because there is so many good twists and even a character you don’t find out about until an hour in. It has the best animation and visuals I’ve ever seen, the best story, the best characters, the best comedy not too much and not too little, the best everything. You can take it as an absolute joke or completely serious and it works both ways. Seriously I beg of you to watch this you won’t regret it, for fucks sake after it’s marketing team trying to make it fail, it still got awards and it still has a following and community TWO DECADES LATER.
I remember watching it again and again with my siblings when I was younger. We were obsessed. Definitely one of the best animation movies ever made. Thank you for reminding me of it. :)
I did not think it was that good. It was a fun movie and did not deserve to flop but was nothing special either.
I just watched The Wonder last night on Netflix I think. I believe with quite a few nice stars it's really human. I felt all of the mental gymnastics that Emma was going through to solve the problem with as few consequences as possible. The town and atmosphere is very well done. Also when dialogue can be replaced with emotion and action, it is and I adore the film for it.
Commentary on ways grief changes individuals, relationships, and the community.
I've heard great things about it! Thank you for recommending it!
Anything with Florence Pugh in it is worth watching
I've only seen #1 and #3 on this list so my playlist just got a little longer. I love the obvious joy you put into these videos whether you're discussing something you loved or hated. Regarding your request for recommendations; The Way of the Gun, La Haine, Man Bites Dog, and Swiss Army Man
I will absolutely watch a few of those entries. All of those seem very entertaining, so I'll have something to watch for a while. Thank you :)
Recommendation - Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. It's insane to me how underrated it is. It's a comedy-drama starring Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman about a magical toy store apprentice who got promoted to manager by the owner, and It's genuinely one of the most heartfelt and inspiring movies I've ever seen. It's not perfect, but I personally think it's great and have an amazing message about self growth and self improvement. Also the directing, editing and cinematography are well done, the score is great and Portman and Hoffman are amazing in it. If I had to summarise it in one sentence I would call it a live action early 2000's Pixar movie, made by Wes Anderson and Edgar Wright. If that doesn't convinces you to check it out, I don't know what will.
I loved this movie as a kid
@@annushankar3032 Give it a rewatch.
it's worth it (:
This is one of my dad's favorites!
great video: just to precise that Truffaut adapted Ray Bradbury's novel: Fahrenheit 451. Anyway, loved the vid and excited to check them out
I’d love to see more recommendation videos! Both this and the underrated shows video were awesome!
Watched half the films on this list but you've intrigued me to try them all out. you really made an interesting list.
So happy to hear The Nice Guys getting some love. I remember seeing it in theaters when it first came out and loved it, but saw other theater goers walk out during it. I was sad it didn't do well, and couldn't find anyone else who had seen it. Glad it's getting the love it deserves.
So happy to hear you are engaged! Congrats!
Absolutely great list. Thanks buddy.
One movie I don’t think got as much attention as it deserved (although that might be different now that there’s a tv series on it)-but Snowpiercer.
It was everything I wanted in a movie. Beautiful cinematography, incredibly storytelling, shocking twists.
Absolutely loved it.
Tilda Swinton was incredible in it. I did enjoy it.
not to mention it's Willy Wonka parallels
A film I'd reccommend is "Colossal" that came out in 2016. It stars Anne Hathaway and Jason Sudeikas, with the basic premise of an alcholic woman who, after returning to her hometown, finds that she is somehow controlling a giant kaiju in japan whenever she moves around a playground at a certain time. Won't say much beyond that, but it is a story with some heavy moments, and the performances drive it so much.
This movie is so fun!!
Props for the list! I would like to suggest: "Under the Silver Lake" and "Anything for Jackson" both are favorites of mine!
This list is excellent. There were only a couple of movies you had that I hadn't heard of or seen. I plan on rectifying that as soon as possible.
I love that you included Equilibrium. It is so weird and suffers from Matrix-itus, but I really enjoyed it. Gunkata is awesome!
10. The wolf hollow
9. Equilibrium
8. Dope
7. Perfect blue
6. Shiva baby
5. Rafiki
4. The Invitation
3. Sound of Metal
2. Heart Attack
1. the nice guys
Bergman Island, Ingrid goes west, 3 to yuma, ready or not
Thank you 💛
Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451. François Truffaut directed the film adaptation.
Looking very hard forward now to "The nice guys" and "Sound of metal" - thanks for your always good recommendations!
Thank you for that number one! The Nice Guys is truly AMAZING.
I absolutely love how you chose such a diverse range of movies, I definitely want to watch all of them. Dope and The Nice Guys are top of the list
As for movie recommendations: idk if this movie is super popular, but please watch He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not. Its a French movie with the amazing Audrey Tautou.
Also there is a Malayalam movie called Neram and the whole movie is just so intelligently done, I absolutely adore it.
Really love your voice dude. Sorry if it's off-topic, but I think it's integral to running a commentary channel. You're great to listen to
PERFECT BLUUEEEEEE THANK YOU FOR COVERING IT !!!!!!!! IM OBSESSED
i absolutely adore Rafiki getting mentioned! i saw the movie years ago at a film festival when it first came out, so so good!
I highly recommend "Carnage" to everyone who has not seen it. It is a "Kammerspiel" (chamber game? English is not my first language) with Christoph Waltz and it is just sooo good.
Thanks for the recommendations, added three movies to my watchlist!
All I can say is thank you for your recommendations and i agree in all points about nice guys, the only one I saw from the 10. Very nice video!
I kept recommending this movie to all my friends and they all loved it. As a metalhead myself I LOVED Netflix "Metal Lords". It's a teen comedy, and the romance was finally not an oversexualization of teen characters. It's also hilariuos. 10/10
Highly highly recommend "come from away". Saw it live and the pro shot does a fantastic job. The story is beautiful and 100% based on real events. I know it's a little different but I would still count it as a movie and I think while it's very loved by the theatre community it's a musical that deserves more mainstream pop culture recognition.
i LOVE ready or not i rewatch it when i'm bored and that last scene on the steps??? i've rewatched that scene thousands of times
Definitely will check out some of these films thanks 🙂
Great list! I enjoyed Shiva Baby, The Wolf of Snow Hollow & Ready Or Not! The Sound of Metal and Rafiki have been on my watchlist for a while.
Some underrated movies that came to my mind: Down With Love, Gosford Park, The Kid Detective (this one I would definitely recommend if you enjoy The Nice Guys!).
And 2 german films: Victoria, I'm Your Man.
I absolutely loved Sound of Metal and agree with all your points about it. It was heartbreaking and felt so human. Riz Ahmed really killed it in this movie, he was SO GOOD.
Loooove the nice guys!! Besides that I didn’t know any of the movies - so looking forward to watch them! Thank you for those great recommendations
sound of metal is amazing! and you mentioned a lot of these on the podcast!
As a Thai person I am very happy you put heart attack on your list. I think it’s my favorite Thai movie I’ve ever seen so far
Shiva Baby is a wild ride. It’s such a gem of a film and deeply enjoyable, but holy hell, did it ever make me anxious lol
so happy you included sound of metal 😍😍😍
I feel like most people have never even heard of Equilibrium! This is my go-to answer for “what’s your favorite movie” (when people won’t let me say “the LOTR trilogy”). It’s really beautifully filmed.
While it definitely takes inspiration from 1984, you can also see that it was heavily influenced by other classic dystopian stories like Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451. (It’d probably be a fun comparative analysis project to dissect all four stories.)
Love these recommendations! I'm always looking for new movies to watch!
As someone who has seen many movies one of my favorites, and one I believe is incredibly underrated is black bear! The film is split into two distinct parts and each half makes you feel very intense emotions. I dont think it's perfect but its incredibly unpredictable and full of amazing performances, especially from Aubrey Plaza
I loved Black Bear! Perfect for a rewatch
"Fahrenheit 451" is a novel by Ray Bradbury. Truffaut just made an adaptation in 1966
Great video!
The Wolf of Snow Hollow is one of my fav movies. I started watching it one night when i went out to eat (i was alone and used earbuds). I got so engrossed i had to stop it and finish it at home. As soon as it was done i watched it again. Thats rare for me. So glad that made ur list. The Invitation was like a slow build anxiety attack. Ready or Not is a perfect blend of badass and dark comedy. Ill have to look for some of the others on your list. Great video.
Sound Of Metal and The Nice Guys look like great gifts for my dad, thank you for the suggestions!
definitely watch palm springs if you havent already! its so unique and thought provoking and i loved its humor and weirdness
Although it was a huge success in Japan, more people need to watch Your Name! It is such a beautiful, touching story with stunning visuals.
Thank you so much for shouting out "Rafiki" - stellar movie, now more important than ever.
I just, today, watched 2 movies on your list, Sound of Metal and Nice Guys and you are absolutely spot on. I can't hardly wait to get to the rest of them. I am on my second watching of The Nice Guys because it is epic and hilarious. Thanks for the recommendations!
For me the most underrated film I ever saw is The Black Coat's Daughter. It's a slow burn horror movie that explores the negative effects and sometimes horrors of isolation.
It's great at atmosphere and letting the audience put pieces together and the actresses are so great in their roles too.
Ready or Not is SUCH a fun movie! It had the balls to make the ending go absolutely wild but it’s definitely the only way for the conclusion to be satisfying! So good
One of my favorite movies of all time. Okay spoiler warning!! I wondered why they had to make the guy turn against her in the end! I was rooting for him the whole movie
Ahhhh thank you for shouting out Wolf of Snow Hollow. It is such an excellent blend of horror and dark comedy. I saw it in my local theater and went home to buy it and rewatch it.
WOW! Never thought my favorite Thai movie would make it to your top ten list.
I have a special place in my heart for Heart Attack aka Freelance coz it came out when I was also... a freelancer.
It resonated so much that I ended up taking a permanent position, went to therapy, and overall improved my health issues.
Many of your recommendations have also been in my watch list for the longest time. I should go watch them now.
Lucky Number Slevin, I cannot recommend this movie more, it's easily in my top ten of all time. Bang Bang You're Dead, was a showtime movie based on a play, but its about school shootings and bullying, stars Ben Foster in a truly amazing performance. Sticking with that theme, Home Room, a movie set after a school shooting, revolving around the police trying to piece things together and two survivors working through their trauma. The Nines, Ryan Reynolds doing a drama comedy that hits the feels and is really an amazing movie with several great costars. Lastly, Charlie Bartlett. My man Anton Yelchin (RIP bud) with Robert Downing Jr and Kat Dennings. Another great movie.
I have to agree with you on perfect blue. I think it’s so underrated, it’s weird and disturbing. I watched it last weekend I’m so happy that you added it here.
I'm so glad you talked about Sound of Metal, it's CRIMINALLY underrated.
Also for an underrated movie, I recommend Phenomena from Dario Argento. It's one of the most ridiculous films I've ever seen and became an instant favorite because I had so much fun watching it.
I'm writing down these titles as I watch! So much good stuff I intend to watch!
That's awesome, gonna watch so many of those! Another film I really like (no clue how rated it is) is The Dressmaker with Kate Winslet. Funny, emotional, cathartic, I've watched it several times by now
And Kate pulled off an aussie accent, no mean feat.
"Searching" I pitch this to everyone, it's one of my favorite movies of all time, it's just so well crafted and well written I highly recommend it!
