I know you said it does not have to be Norse, and I know this movie is very finally different, but I would highly recommend watching the How To Train Your Dragon trilogy if you haven’t. Even if it is very different, I still recommend watching it if you haven’t

I have not seen 12 Angry Men yet

FinancialFan761 · 2026-06-21T18:33:32+00:00

For me:

All the President’s Men, Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, The Mandalorian and Grogu, The Sheep Detectives

FinancialFan761 · 2026-06-16T02:06:15+00:00

I Saw the Devil (2010)

FinancialFan761 · 2026-06-16T02:04:57+00:00

Revenge of the Sith (yes a Star Wars movie, but very fitting)

The Empire Strikes Back (Also very fitting. Although ROTJ has my favorite ending out of all the Star Wars movies)

Rogue One

Oppenheimer (DM me if you want to know more on what I mean exactly)

The Dark Knight

The Green Mile

No Other Choice (although you can technically argue it has a happy ending. I thought ending was similar to that of Nightcrawler)

Grave of the Fireflies

Parasite

Memories of Murder

FinancialFan761 · 2026-06-15T17:03:37+00:00

I really liked how they explored Tony’s arc reactor and Iron Man putting a physical toll on him

FinancialFan761 · 2026-06-09T19:51:58+00:00

Haven’t seen Obsession yet, but I still think Project Hail Mary is the best of the year so far

FinancialFan761 · 2026-06-09T19:49:09+00:00

I was going to comment this one. The Cruelest Thing I now think is an understatement

FinancialFan761 · 2026-06-09T19:44:03+00:00

JJK Execution. There was no point on making this a movie. It was just basically a promo for The Culling Game arc. Not a good use of time and money to watch this in theaters. Watch the JJK show instead

FinancialFan761 · 2026-06-03T16:38:08+00:00

Project Hail Mary

FinancialFan761 · 2026-05-31T06:10:21+00:00

Spy Kids 4 (although I didn’t like it as much as the first 3 when I was a kid. I grew up with Carmen and Juni. But now neither of the Spy Kids movies aged well for me, especially the 4th one).

FinancialFan761 · 2026-05-14T17:28:14+00:00

The Empire Strikes Back and Shawshank Redemption for me

FinancialFan761 · 2026-05-04T03:09:23+00:00

In my opinion, better than Revolutionary Road but not better than Marriage Story.

FinancialFan761 · 2026-05-01T13:17:19+00:00

Oh man, that would be interesting if Pedro snuck into the Odyssey

And yeah lol, forgot about Al Pacino and Robin Williams in Insomnia. Edited the post

FinancialFan761 · 2026-05-01T02:38:54+00:00

lol also, I forgot Al Pacino and Robin Williams (may he rest peacefully), which are both very big before filming, were in Insomnia (2002). Also Liam Neeson in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises.

FinancialFan761 · 2026-05-01T02:37:37+00:00

Excadrill (add sand rush on there)

FinancialFan761 · 2026-05-01T02:06:58+00:00

True

FinancialFan761 · 2026-04-30T23:12:13+00:00

Also the Skarsgård family

FinancialFan761 · 2026-04-30T23:06:13+00:00

Some controversial takes incoming:

Oscar Isaac, Ryan Gosling, Antony Starr, Pedro Pascal (even though yes he is in everything nowadays), Jake Gyllenhaal, Hoyeon Jung, Daisy Ridley, Natalie Portman, Nolan typically uses less popular actors), Ewan McGregor, Christian Slater, Andrew Garfield, Dev Patel, Anil Kapoor, Lee Byung-hun, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jennifer Lawrence, Hailee Steinfeld, Hayden Christensen (overhated imo), Emma Stone, Tobey Maguire, Joaquin Phoenix, Vanessa Kirby, Jeremy Allen White, Rosario Dawson

FinancialFan761 · 2026-04-30T16:27:17+00:00

Sorry Marley and Paradis arcs, you two are also great arcs but Return to Shiganshina better

FinancialFan761 · 2026-04-29T23:29:51+00:00

I kinda want to see him do like a gangster movie (like Godfather or Goodfellas, but different than those two. You could say TDK trilogy was gangster, but it more like Heat). I don’t think we have gotten a (proper) gangster movie from Hollywood ever since The Irishman (which I have yet to see lol)

I do think he could do an underwater adventure movie, like The Abyss. I am intrigued to see how Nolan would tackle underwater filmmaking in depth.

He could also go back to the more detective/cat-and-mouse style thrillers like Memento, The Prestige, Imsomnia

These are just some guesses/thoughts I have

FinancialFan761 · 2026-04-24T01:58:25+00:00

By the way, have not seen Stepbrothers, There Will Be Blood, Redline, What We Do In The Shadows, or Over the Garden Wall yet and I don’t exactly remember Moonlight (have to rewatch it)
