I used to watch Tombstone (or at least parts of it) every day after school.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
The Abyss
The Thing
Ben-Hur
Spartacus
Taxi Driver
Godfather I and II
Tarkovsky's Stalker
Terminator 2
Alien and Aliens
You've got a lot of alien genre movies in here, what else you got? Those are always awesome.
Not aliens per se, but Sunshine is great. Awesome ensemble cast headed up by Cillian Murphy on a journey to the sun.
Annihilation is an excellent sci-fi/ cosmic horror centered around our perception of alien "life", and will it even recognize us as life when we meet it. Natalie Portman and Oscar Isaac.
The classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Admittedly more notable for Kubrick's filmmaking than the plot, but still a mind-blowingly cool movie.
Enemy Mine for the other end of the spectrum, about a human and an alien learning to work together / overcome their innate xenophobia.
Definitely into the whole space genres as well, thanks for the recs
No problem! Hope you like them
Likewise. If you haven't seen Bugonia, came out last year or maybe early this year, put it on the top of your list. Based on your taste, I'm willing to put it at a 9/10, I thought it was an easy 10
I just watched it last night! I need to watch it again, but I don't know if I liked it as much as Poor Things. The cast was electrifying on screen together, but the end threw me. I almost think it would have worked better as a standard woman against her captors movie. Still loved it, though. 9/10 even with my nitpicking. I love Yorgos Lanthimos' work.
Dude I did too! I had the opposite reaction, it was an okay movie until the ending, then it was great.
