CloseOh yeah and I guess you can recommend stuff too if you want. Follow my format though so it looks all nice and pretty.

Movie: Tokyo Story
"An elderly couple journey to Tokyo to visit their children and are confronted by indifference, ingratitude and selfishness. When the parents are packed off to a resort by their impatient children, the film deepens into an unbearably moving meditation on mortality."
Widely considered one of the greatest movies ever made. This is probably the calmest film I've ever seen. When you watch it it's as if you're drifting, very passively watching the story move along. The third movie in the Noriko trilogy (which can all be watched independently), it stars Japan's "Eternal Virgin" Setsuko Hara, arguably one of the most beautiful women to have ever lived. Emotional, deep with intelligence and maturity, Tokyo Story is a brilliant, simple movie with ageless morals.

Movie: Chungking Express
"Wong Kar-Wai's movie about two love-struck cops is filmed in impressionistic splashes of motion and color. The first half deals with Cop 223, who has broken up with his girlfriend of five years. He purchases a tin of pineapples with an expiration date of May 1 each day for a month. By the end of that time, he feels that he will either be rejoined with his love or that it too will have expired forever. The second half shows Cop 663 dealing with his breakup with his flight attendant girlfriend. He talks to his apartment furnishings until he meets a new girl at a local lunch counter."
This movie has a splash of everything, all seamlessly blended into a perfect little romance/comedy. Probably Wong Kar-Wai's most universally accessible film, it's an exercise in hopeless human longing and overcoming loneliness, all set against the backdrop of busy Chinese streets. A fantastic soundtrack (featuring Faye Wong's cover of "Dreams" by The Cranberries and "California Dreamin" by The Mamas and the Papas), clever writing, and endearingly quirky characters make it an all around mellow, optimistic little movie.
Oh yeah, and Quentin Tarantino is obsessed with it.

*This one this basically Chungking Express 2. It's got the exact same setting, the same vibe, albeit slightly more action-oriented. Actually it was originally planned to be the third story in Chungking Express, but Wong Kar-Wai decided to make it a separate movie for one reason or another.

Movie: Der Himmel über Berlin, or Wings of Desire
"This Wim Wenders film centers around the story of two angels wandering in a mixture of post-war and modern Berlin. Invisible to humans, they nevertheless give their help and comfort to all the lonely and depressed souls they meet. Finally, after many centuries, one of the angels becomes unhappy with his immortal state and wishes to become human in order to experience the joys of everyday life. He meets a circus acrobat and finds in her the fulfillment of all his mortal desires. He also discovers that he is not alone in making this cross over, and that a purely spiritual experience is not enough to satisfy anyone."
I would watch it just to see Solveig Dommartin's back alone. Anyway, this movie, which takes a turn from Wim Wenders' usual road-movie genre, is absolutely GORGEOUS. Even more beautiful than Solveig Dommartin. When in an angels perspective, the world is black and white, and when human the world is in color. Halfway through when the main character turns human, the change is magical. He discovers the color red by putting his hand to his head and sees the blood. He discovers money and charity when a man gives him a little money for some coffee. It really makes you appreciate the little things. It's a quaint little experience, filled with all sorts of simple, fantastic touches, like reading people's everyday thoughts and seeing them unaware of the angels looking over their shoulder in times of need. Slow-moving for sure, but nonetheless poignant and cheerful.
To make things even better, Peter Falk (aka Columbo), playing himself, is one of the main characters.

Movie: Watership Down
"Based upon Richard Adam's novel of the same title, this animated feature delves into the surprisingly violent world of a warren of rabbits as they seek to establish a new colony free of tyranny and human intervention."
While Page Master scared me when I was a kid, this scared me when I first saw it a few months ago. There are bunnies killing other bunnies, bunnies being eaten by dogs, bunnies being eaten by birds, bunnies being suffocated in their filled-up holes, and "Bright Eyes" by Simon and Garfunkel induced bunny drug trips. If you have a sadistic pleasure in seeing little furred created being killed, this is the movie for you.
All the same, it's got some very bittersweet moments. The ending, in particular, was rather sad and happy simultaneously. And I love the "Bright Eyes" music video.
Sometimes when you're watching it you might entirely forget it's about rabbits.
THIS IS A CHILDREN'S MOVIE. THE BOOK IS EVEN MORE VIOLENT. BUT IT IS AWESOME.

Movie: Alice, Sweet Alice, or Communion
(Brooke Shields is like 8 in this movie, and she's only in there for a little while. This poster was obviously made after she became famous.)
"Alice Spages is a withdrawn 12 year old girl who lives with her mother, Catherine, and her younger sister, Karen. Karen gets most of the attention from her mother, and Alice is often left out of the spotlight. But when Karen is found brutally murdered in a church before her first holy communion, all suspicions are turned towards Alice. But is a twelve year old girl really capable of such savagery? As more people begin to die at the hands of a merciless killer, Alice becomes more and more likely of a suspect."
Poor pacing and mediocre acting aside (typical, forgivable flaws in scary movies), Alice, Sweet Alice is an interesting little psychological horror story. One scene near the beginning scared the crap out of me; it's #89 on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments. The twist is not quite Silent Hill 2 caliber, but it does turn things around quite a bit. Not overly bloody, rather low budget, and a disquieting ending make it stand out from the rest of the crowd of late 70s slashers.

Well consistent at least. And they aren't all obscure; Ozu is one of the most renowned filmmakers of all time, Watership Down terrified little children when it was first release, and Alice Sweet Alice was swept away in a storm of other campy 70s horror movies.
Suggest movies you like! They don't have to be out there/obscure/weird. I just happen to like those sorts of movies.

Movie: Todo Sobre Mi Madre, or All About My Mother
"A single mother in Madrid sees her only son die on his 17th birthday as he runs to seek an actress's autograph. She goes to Barcelona to find the lad's father, a transvestite named Lola who does not know he has a child. First she finds her friend, Agrado, a wild yet caring transvestite; through him she meets Rosa, a young nun bound for El Salvador, but instead finds out she is pregnant by Lola. Manuela becomes the personal assistant of Huma Rojo, the actress her son admired, by helping Huma manage Nina, the co-star and Huma's lover. However, Agrado soon takes over when Manuela must care for Hermana Rosa's risky pregnancy. With echos of Lorca, "All About Eve," and "Streetcar Named Desire," the mothers (and fathers and actors) live out grief, love, and friendship."
Only Pedro Almodovar could make a poignant movie about transsexuals, transvestites, lesbians, and STDs. Often hilarious and absurd, Todo Sobre Mi Madre is another entry into Almodovar's series of films about fucked up women. Great allusions to older movies, unforgettable characters (Agrado especially), and inexplicably meaningful despite its ridiculous story.

I actually went and checked out "Watership Down" on Youtube. It's okay, as far as movies go, but it got me more curious about the actual place itself. :)

I'll give a shot at this.
Flightplan
Flightplan is a psychological thriller about a Mother (Jodie Foster) and her daughter flying home to America on a plane Kyle (Jodie, the mother) helped design. Joining them is the father, in a coffin, who suffered a fall from the roof, an apparent suicide. As the night on the plane progresses, Kyle's daughter vanishes and none of the passengers say they remember her ever having a daughter on board. The confusion further ensues when her daughter isn't found on the passenger list. Kyle becomes desperate to find her daughter against all odds while struggling with the idea that maybe her daughter never even existed. I can't go much further into the plot without spoinling it.
The acting is excellent, the story is airtight, and Jodie Foster's interpretation of a seemingly insane Mother is superb. I really have nothing bad to say about this movie. Although, after watching it for a second time, I saw a bit of a hole in the plot, but it didn't affect the movie too much. I recommend Flightplan to anybody looking for a psychological thriller that strays away from blood, gore, and violence.

Let The Right One In
.jpg)
Let the Right One In (Swedish: Låt den rätte komma in), also known as Let Me In, is a 2004 vampire fiction novel by Swedish writer John Ajvide Lindqvist. The story centers on the relationship between a 12-year-old boy, Oskar, and a 200-year-old vampire child, Eli, of indeterminate gender. It takes place in Blackeberg, a working class suburb of Stockholm, in the early 1980s. The book focuses on the darker side of humanity, dealing with issues such as bullying, drugs, theft, pedophilia, prostitution and murder as well as the obvious supernatural themes.
In the film, Oskar is a 12-year-old-boy who is being bullied at school. He befriends a mysterious child, Eli, who moves in next door with an older man, HÃ¥kan. Eli is revealed to be a vampire, but the two children develop a close relationship and Eli helps Oskar fight back against his tormentors.
Awesome movie all around. Top notch setting and cinematography. It involves a classic vampire, but in a modern and 'realistic' type setting. Like a hypothetical "what if vampires were real, and one lived next door to you".

Flightplan was alright, but pretty much beaten in every way in the "airplane thriller" genre by Red Eye. Pretty sure they came out around the same time, too.
And Let the Right One In was great! Reading the book now. Usually I hate vampire stuff.

Movie: Kairo, or Pulse
"After one of their friends commits suicide, strange things begin happening to a group of young Tokyo residents. One of them sees visions of his dead friend in the shadows on the wall, while another's computer keeps showing strange, ghostly images. Is their friend trying to contact them from beyond the grave, or is there something much more sinister going on?"
Okay, I'll admit I'm one of those guys who always tells you to watch the original versions of American horror remakes. But it's for good reason. The American Pulse was awful, completely drained of anything the original had to say. Basically, Japan's suicide rate was going through the roof, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa, feeling that it was too difficult to believe that so many people were dying of their own free will, decided to create a supernatural reason for this phenomena. At first a typical horror movie, partway through things switch to an apocalyptic nature, the main characters struggling to survive and cope with the reality of their situation. There are a lot of eerie touches; a shadowy figure sluggishly crawling away in an empty arcade, the silhouette of a man in an abandoned quick stop. Probably one of my favorite horror movies.

wow, why is it always the artsy boring films that get so much praise from the in-crowd for movies? I've never understood that mentality.
I watch movies to be entertained, and while something like Die Hard isn't all aesthetically pleasing or deep, it's still a great watch.
Also, not enough Princess Bride.

Yeah fuck your romance shit.
I'm not going to spoil too much of this movie. Godzilla, JAWs, Kong, and that stupid cloverfield thing can take a hike. When you watch this movie you will know that even being on dry land isn't safe enough for you. No this killer whale kicks so much ass, that I remember as a kid I used to watch Free Willy a thousand times but as soon as I saw Orca the killer whale, I realized that I was looking up to the wrong killer whale. Watch this goddamn movie.

Die Hard is the best Christmas movie ever.
Just saw Princess Bride a month or two ago and was not disappointed, even though my expectations were high as crazy. Kinda wish I saw it when I was younger though. Feels like I missed out on a vital childhood experience. :(

Movie: Dead Alive, or Braindead
"A young man's mother is bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey. She gets sick and dies, at which time she comes back to life, killing and eating dogs, nurses, friends, and neighbors."
This was what Peter Jackson was up to before the Lord of the Rings movies (but after the puppet sex). Allow me to explain eloquently: GORE GORE BADASS PRIEST WITH KARATE MOVES GORE GORE ZOMBIES HAVE SEX AND PRODUCE BABY ZOMBIE GORE GORE LAWNMOWER ATTACHED TO CHEST PLUS ROOM FULL OF ZOMBIES EQUALS EVEN MORE GORE GORE GORE. Yeah it's awesome. Over the top, ridiculous, and awesome.
During the lawnmower scene, movie blood was pumped at five gallons per second.
Paquita Maria Sanchez: Your mother ate my dog!
Lionel Cosgrove: Not all of it.
Father McGruder: I kick arse for the Lord!

Funny story: When my older brother was 4 and my cousin was 3, my mom and dad were babysitting them and took them to Watership Down at the drive-in, expecting them to fall asleep right away.
They instead watched it, enraptured and terrified.
My brother ended up getting a Fine Arts degree. I'm pretty sure this movie scarred him for life.

Jesus people you sound like it's a crime to enjoy obscure movies. The only reason "artsy boring films" get so much praise is because people who watch movies to be aesthetically pleased or to find deeper meaning in or to have the ability to impress people with your vast cinematic knowledge are the only ones doing the praising. People who watch for entertainment either recommend classics from the 80s or that one with the two guys they just saw last weekend. (Not to say there's anything wrong with those. But, c'mon people, we all already know The Princess Bride is amazing!)
I do hate those elitist though. Allow me to demonstrate through a facebook status update:
Guy named Matt is watching eternal sunshine of the spotless mind for the 9th time
Some annoying chick: there is a whole world of indie films out there, matt. explore.
Me: Yeah how dare you rewatch a movie you love! For shame, Matt!!!
Matt: well in the past week i've indie movie myself out i think.
Same stupid chick: eh, it happens. move on to french films. if you're going to live montmartre, you should start brushing up on your godard.
Matt: Thanks for the tip girll
Brush up on your godard? Explore a world of indie films? Do I even have to explain how irritating that sounds?
