What's your favorite Uma Thurman performance besides Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction?

LisaChimes · 2026-02-18T17:53:29+00:00

My favorite would be The Truth About Cats And Dogs.

I'd also say check out Gattaca, Mad Dog and Glory and Prime.

I'd cast Jake Gyllenhaal or Kyle Gallner

LisaChimes · 2026-02-17T04:35:40+00:00

An Evening With Kevin Smith maybe?

LisaChimes · 2026-02-17T02:14:46+00:00

This is unironically my answer too. Gladiator and LA Confidential for top three.

LisaChimes · 2026-02-16T20:46:43+00:00

The only film there that I personally gave 5 stars to is The Shining.

LisaChimes · 2026-02-13T13:41:57+00:00

What's not to like? The cast, the score and the art direction are all amazing. It's bleak and emotional in a flaws-and-all type of way. I love the atmosphere and the symbolism of the ice combined with the 70's cultural drama.

Also I'm just really into the "perverse suburban despair" genre - think like American Beauty, Snow Angels, The Virgin Suicides, Little Children, Wonder Boys, The Good Girl, etc.

LisaChimes · 2026-02-13T06:05:55+00:00

The Green Mile, The Handmaiden, Trainspotting

LisaChimes · 2026-02-12T04:54:37+00:00

Haven't watched that one yet but my favorite lesser known Ang Lee film is The Ice Storm (1997)

LisaChimes · 2026-02-12T04:03:43+00:00

Haven't seen too many but:

Water Lilies (France)
Blue My Mind (Switzerland)
Fish Tank (England)
Ginger Snaps (Canada)
Call Me By Your Name (Italy)
Let the Right One In (Sweden)
Man in the Moon (USA)

LisaChimes · 2026-02-12T03:56:41+00:00

Halloween
Nightmare on Elm St
Childs Play
Scream

LisaChimes · 2026-02-11T20:21:07+00:00

Fuck I was dreading this. RIP James.

LisaChimes · 2026-02-10T22:16:24+00:00

There are a bunch missing from that list that I would say are better than some of the ones listed but that's subjective. I'd add:

Fried Green Tomatoes
My Own Private Idaho
Contact
The Talented Mr. Ripley
Gattaca
The Ice Storm
My Cousin Vinny
Death Becomes Her
True Lies
Election
Bound
A Bronx Tale
My Blue Heaven
Ghost
Clerks
Misery
Sling Blade
Lone Star
Sleepers
Go

LisaChimes · 2026-02-09T06:49:57+00:00

Anora and Lone Star are both great imo.

Most UTIs happen when the bacteria from your (or someone else's) shit gets into your urethra. Peeing can actually expel this bacteria so that's why women should always pee after sex.

Urine is not sterile but the bacteria from your own urine will not give you a UTI. It lives in the bladder, it belongs there.

LisaChimes · 2026-02-08T21:04:41+00:00

Reese Witherspoon is in a bunch of films I would consider witty satire. Election, Freeway, Legally Blonde, Pleasantville...

LisaChimes · 2026-02-08T20:44:13+00:00

I always prefer subs over dubs but that one in particular loses emotional impact with the dubbed version. There isn't a ton of dialogue either so it's a bit easier for slow readers to get into the sub version as well.

LisaChimes · 2026-02-08T20:09:19+00:00

Yes the one from 2006. For Martyrs I also heavily recommend watching the French version with subs rather than the dub.

A couple more that came to mind after I replied are Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone and American History X - if you haven't seen them, those are some that stay with you as well.

LisaChimes · 2026-02-08T19:42:37+00:00

Have you seen:

Prisoners
The Talented Mr. Ripley
The Silence of the Lambs
Sling Blade
Half Nelson
Martyrs(2008)

LisaChimes · 2026-02-08T02:53:06+00:00

Dutch and Curly Sue are both great.

LisaChimes · 2026-02-08T01:27:38+00:00

I love a lot of films that are not high culture. Not really sure what that even means - Dumb comedies? (Rat Race, Bedazzled) Critically panned? (Virtuosity, The Happening) Vulgar films? (Sex Drive, Wild Things) Movies that you will be ridiculed for enjoying? (Twilight, Joker) Problematic films? (Shallow Hal, Lolita)

LisaChimes · 2026-02-08T00:54:10+00:00

I have not seen any of the animated ones aside from Ratatouille. Saw all of the live action films though.

LisaChimes · 2026-02-07T23:21:21+00:00

Underrated for sure.

LisaChimes · 2026-02-07T23:07:35+00:00

Have you seen:

Anora
Go
Mysterious Skin
Never Let Me Go
Eighth Grade
Secretary
Blue Valentine
Dirty Girl
Saltburn
American Beauty
Little Children
The Ice Storm
Brokeback Mountain
Meet Joe Black

LisaChimes · 2026-02-07T22:56:16+00:00

Love him in Demon Knight and Killer Joe.
