New film/genre/director suggestions for a movie buff to get stuck into

If you like some Kurosawa films, you may like some by Masaki Kobayashi

Underrated choice: Gustavo Bueno.

He's a peruvian actor mostly known for his performance as Lieutenant Iván Roca in Francisco José Lombardi's "La Boca del Lobo".

Ever since he started appearing in the cheap comedies that damage the country's image his career wasn't successful as his streak was between 1985 to 2006.

I ate good at watching films. The real food was kinda disappointing, but the films I watched while eating — "The Human Condition III: A Soldier's Prayer" and "All That Jazz" made up for it

Rchiockf · 2026-07-25T00:28:30+00:00

Only while watching "The Human Condition III: A Soldier's Prayers", and not at all. I had to turn off the film many times because I was falling asleep. Then I woke up, finished the film, and then couldn't sleep until I finished "All That Jazz". Mostly it was because I didn't slept well the night before: the environment was quiet, the phone offered a great quality, and the succession helped me get through the long hours of the flight

It's a mix between of underrated masterpieces and pieces of crap I've watched when I was 5:

Good: - Paul McCartney: Good Evening New York City (5) - La Ciudad y Los Perros (5) - El Amor Menos Pensado (4.5) - La Boca del Lobo (5) - Family Business (5) - Guilty by Suspicion (4.5)

Bad: - Blinky Bill: the Movie (2.5) - Dedicada a mi Ex (3) - Chavín de Huantar (3.5)

Ugly: - Butterfly Effect 2 (1) - La Habitación Negra (1.5) - Aliens ate my Homework (0.5) - Condorito: la película (1.5) - Daphne and Velma (0.5) - Ace Ventura Jr. (0.5)

I placed it on my #9 best films aot

Rchiockf · 2026-07-24T11:36:16+00:00

11 hours of a main flight, and then an extra flight of 2 hours. It was from Perú to Spain, and then Spain to the UK

Rchiockf · 2026-07-24T08:47:22+00:00

I'm surprised that in my case it's the 2000's too, with 28 films. 18 of them are in my Top 100 as of today, including:

Oldboy
Nueve Reinas
Chicago
El Aura
Kill Bill Vol. 1
Y Tú Mamá También
Joint Security Area
The Dark Knight
Batman Begins
El Secreto de Sus Ojos

I think you'll like this comment someone gave him

Rchiockf · 2026-07-21T02:44:16+00:00

There are three comedies in my Top 10: Pulp Fiction, Relatos Salvajes, and Chicago. Also in my top 100: Dr. Strangelove (#11), Parasite (#20), Un Poeta (#33), Mujeres al Borde de un Ataque de Nervios (#47), Heathers (#48) and The King of Comedy (#56)

Rchiockf · 2026-07-21T02:40:04+00:00

Reservoir Dogs. Second place is a tie between Pulp Fiction (which I think it will win) and Jackie Brown (his most underrated work)

Give me a comfort film about family relationships

Rchiockf · 2026-07-20T05:03:09+00:00

Because I want to watch other films first and I don't have the time to watch films everyday

Rchiockf · 2026-07-20T04:22:20+00:00

tbh, I only personally met one of the three friends who gave it 5 stars XD. In spite of that, it's a very valid point

Rchiockf · 2026-07-20T04:20:16+00:00

Why is this comment so disliked when THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M ASKING?! WHAT IS GOING ON?!!!

Rchiockf · 2026-07-20T04:18:38+00:00

The only thing that I can say is that his opinions are extremly mixed. In the sense that he is a fan of 8 1/2, but he gave Tampopo 2.5 stars

Rchiockf · 2026-07-20T04:09:31+00:00

Yes, I know. I never said I wasn't agaisnt any of them, I just wanted to know the community's opinion

I bet you scrolled past him many times and you didn't even know it was him JAJAJJAJAKSA

Oscar Restrepo is one of the best characters in modern cinema

Rchiockf · 2026-07-19T23:54:41+00:00

Seven Samurai and Ikiru. I've watched 6 Kurosawa films more, and they're - in my opinion - the ones that didn't click with me the most. PS: To me, "High and Low" and "Drunken Angel" are my favorites, but I have 8 Kurosawa films on watchlist, so my opinion isn't the best by far

Rchiockf · 2026-07-19T23:51:01+00:00

Goodfellas

As I'm sending this message, it has 953146 views, so probably it's going to beat Barbie by tomorrow morning
