Do you have any movies you love but there's no reason to bring them up when recommendation threads pop up? These are mine.
Manic (2001) - JGL, Don Cheadle, and Zooey Deschanel. It's a bit over the top but a character study at juvenile mental health facility.
He Was A Quiet Man (2007) - Christian Slater and Elisha Cuthbert, a black comedy fish out of water story about a would-be spree shooter turned "hero".
Spiral (2007} - Joel David Moore, Amber Tamblyn, and Zachary Levi. JDM knocks it out of the park, psychological thriller about a lone weirdo with dark fantasies, or are they?
1408 (2007) - I feel like pretty well known but not talked about, John Cusack in a Stephen Kind adaptation, super creepy.
Slither (2006) - Hilarious James Gunn horror-comedy with Nathan Fillion and Michael Booker, doesn't get enough love.
Eulogy (2004) - Black comedy with Ray Romano, Hank Azaria, and Zooey Deschanel. Just a messed up family and the awkwardness of the holiday.
Frailty (2001) - Bill Paxton stared and directed, also with Matthew McConaughey, crime thriller with a creepy abusive family.
Splice (2009) - When does science go too far? Also gets reallllllll messed up towards the end but I don't want to spoil anything.
Wristcutters: A Love Story (2006) - Super dark movie about purgatory basically and people trying to navigate it.
Edmond (2005) - A better version of Falling Down (1994) in my opinion, William H Macy just has had enough.
Death At A Funeral (2007) - Hilarious black comedy with Alan Tudyk and Peter Dinklage.
Four Brothers (2005) - Marky Mark, Tyrese, and Andre 3000 revenge movie. Silly, but good fun.
I Love You Philip Morris (2009) - Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor biographical gay romance, crime, dark comedy. If that doesn't intrigue you, I don't know what to say.
The Chumscrubber (2005) - One of my all-time favorites, a surreal, satirical look at suburban life, it's just odd and pleasant.
The Rules of Attraction (2002) - Everyone knows American Psycho, this is a much better Bret Easton Ellis adaptation in my opinion.
Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) - A silly, fun time-travel comedy-drama with Aubrey Plaza killing it and Mark Duplass, a surprising amount of heart.
The Creator (2023) - I feel like this movie came and went real quick, one of the best sci-fi films I've ever seen with John David Washington. It's got issues, but so does like Blade Runner.
Love Lies Bleeding (2024) - A crime-thriller that uhhh, goes places. I don't want to spoil anything. I love its gritty feel and it's kind of a throwback to steamy, sleezy movies but with a lead that isn't stereotypically hot.
The Dead Don't Die (2019) - Wonderful Jim Jaramusch take on zombie movies with Adam Driver and Bill Murray, a fun horror-comedy time.
High-Rise (2015) - Dystopian, surreal sci-fi starring Tom Hiddleston that's a lot of over the top social commentary
Do you like any of my picks or have any slept on movies that you'd like to talk about that you never really have a reason to?
