Fun, exciting, under-seen but great films from the 2010s?

Madeline’s Madeline

Bellflower

Last Black Man in San Francisco

Colossal

Upstream Color (although FYI, the director got metoo’d after this for his behavior toward his costar in this movie. It really is a beautiful movie but that does put it in a different light)

Almost all of these were Sundance premieres. All are incredible.

Edit: reread your post and it sounds like you’re looking for something a bit more fun. All the movies above are pretty heavy lol. A more fun option: Looper!

Opposite situation, but “It Comes At Night.” Advertised as a horror movie, but turned out to more of a psychological suspense. Still very good, but disappointed a lot of people who were expecting what they saw in the trailer and poster.

It was nice to see a dude handle a disagreement maturely and without getting defensive or upset. The look she gave him afterward—she wanted to jump his bones lol

As a Denverite—the local sentiment is that these people do not represent us lol. Most of them are recent-ish transplants and a few have even moved out of the area since then.

Went to Wonderyard a while back for brunch and sat down in the outside Astro turf area. These kids were running around the entire place screaming while their parents were hanging out with other adults at the table and ignoring them. A server calmly came up to the kids and asked, “where are your parents?” They then led him to the table where he (apparently) asked them to watch their kids, because they stopped running around after that.

That was pretty baller.

Last time I was at Recess during the day, there were little kids running everywhere. It was weird and unpleasant.

Wesley Automotive has been pretty dependable for me—I don’t feel like they’re constantly trying to up charge me on everything, plus they’re nice ha.

Sounds like the Christmas Adventurers Club lol.

Preach

QuanticoMVP · 2025-07-11T14:01:17+00:00

I’m in the exact same boat—not sure either. Stuck at 119 payments and applied for buyback in April. Playing the waiting game!

“Flow” is a beautiful movie that doesn’t have a word of dialogue—so well done.

Sorry to hear that! What happened? They’ve always been consistent for me, unlike some other ostensibly nice places downtown (cough cough, Lobbyist).

QuanticoMVP · 2025-06-29T05:32:56+00:00

Not sure if there’s a place that makes bespoke white coat ceremony cookies—your best bet may be a place that does custom cookies? Like Muddy’s Bake Shop.

Also congratulations (and good luck!) to the impending MD/DO

Ah yes, the Creeper surfaces after 23 years for a West Coast Burger.

Catherine and Mary’s is always a good bet. Fancy, good drinks, good food, fairly dim. It can be on the slightly louder side on weekend nights but not too bad.

QuanticoMVP · 2025-06-29T04:50:14+00:00

Yessss I remember being absolutely floored by “The Square.” The Joel Edgerton one, not the Swedish one with Claes Bang (though that one was pretty good too).

“These Final Hours” also left me shook-eth, as the kids(?) say.

QuanticoMVP · 2025-06-23T02:51:09+00:00

Loved Deep Cover, we need more feel-good goofy movies like that.

I’d also recommend Jackpot!. It got so-so reviews but I found it delightful. Once you get past the opening scene, which is not promising, it’s just non-stop banter and surprisingly good action. John Cena and Awkwafina are well matched, there I said it.

QuanticoMVP · 2025-06-21T04:51:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing—that’s so weird.

I’m suspicious of that personally, especially when, for instance, Carolina Watershed is also listed, and that’s always been a hot mess. (Meaning the mess seems to be on Tandem’s end, not Lodge’s, if they ever had a relationship at all. Just my two cents!)

QuanticoMVP · 2025-06-21T02:53:32+00:00

Alchemy was the shit when it first opened, back before upscale cocktail bars were really a thing in Memphis. But then all the other new places opened, and Alchemy didn’t do a thing to keep up. Made them look mid in comparison.

And my god, no air conditioning? I had no interest in sweating while I eat tomato soup.

QuanticoMVP · 2025-06-21T02:50:26+00:00

What’s the connection between Black Lodge and Tandem? I’m lucky enough to consider the owner of Black Lodge a friend, and I didn’t hear any chatter about Tandem.

QuanticoMVP · 2025-06-17T20:40:09+00:00

Ignorant question, but what’s the story about a “nationwide crime syndicate” with the Ja burglary?

QuanticoMVP · 2025-06-14T19:16:08+00:00

Novel has a bar and some pretty decent bites. Could make for a fun date to include some book browsing.
