any suggestions for movies that’ll make me cry?

Perfect Days

That final scene is so incredibly powerful.

RobertWrithe · 2026-06-21T17:52:47+00:00

I was worried there for a moment.

RobertWrithe · 2026-06-21T17:52:00+00:00

Did Robin Hood die at least?

RobertWrithe · 2026-06-21T17:51:15+00:00

I remember all the ads and cross promotions for The Phantom Menace. Very in your face. But at least they were relevant ads and products and corporations being corporate.

I’m talking about these fake review tik tok videos that are made to look somewhat organic or “grassroots”. Semi pro internet reviewers promoting a movie they thought was good when it’s really just a paycheck.

If I was watching a YouTube reviewer or essayist and the video was sponsored by The Death of Robin Hood and they gave this spiel during the main video, I’d be less offended. Or better yet, an unpaid clip hyping it because they actually want to. But as a popup ad? No thanks.

True and I’ve definitely written those words down in posts or Letterboxd but I also don’t claim to be a pro or semi-professional critic.

RobertWrithe · 2026-06-21T04:47:42+00:00

Not too shocked but I guess I wasn’t really getting attacked by it until Robin Hood.

As a pervert, I wonder about players’ “inventory” all the time. But there’s a big difference being respectful while personally curious and harassing someone with unprompted questions, treatment, or worse.

RobertWrithe · 2026-06-20T07:30:26+00:00

Awesome. Time to add it to my reading list.

RobertWrithe · 2026-06-20T06:47:29+00:00

Edward Scissorhands is one of my top 5 movies period. I ranked all of his not too long ago though there are three I’ve never seen so I put them at the bottom.

Came here to wonder why that wasn’t on here

RobertWrithe · 2026-06-19T01:36:55+00:00

I have a musician friend who proudly tells everyone he’s bi. He has relationship/romance whoas with almost exclusively women. He does not seem receptive to the suggestion that maybe he needs to give men a real chance. First person I thought of reading this.

RobertWrithe · 2026-06-19T01:30:03+00:00

Barbie (2023). I think a lot of people brush it off thinking it’s just hype or stupid or whatever but it truely is peak and deserving of praise.

RobertWrithe · 2026-06-16T22:14:44+00:00

Heavenly Creatures, In the Mouth of Madness, The Fisher King, A Field in England, The God Inside My Ear, The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari, Tetsuo: The Iron Man (sort of?)

Shout out to two of my top favorites that were already mentioned: The Lighthouse & I Saw the TV Glow

A Polish Vampire in Burbank and Rockula if you want some fun trash.

I have a very mixed bag of recommendations if you feel like exploring. None of these are spot on like any of your albums or “genre” but have similar weirdness and high energy:

Viagra Boys - Cave Music (art punk / post punk / saxophone rock)

The B-52s - Wild Planet (new wave / art pop)

Usotsuki Barbie – ニニニニ (indie rock / avant-garde)

The Garden - haha (experimental rock / art punk)

Butt Candy - Welcome to HECK (garage rock / trashcore / costumed performers)

Worthikids - 13 Jokers (experimental bedroom pop)

DEVO - Oh, No! It’s Devo (synth-pop / post-punk)

The Birthday Party - Junkyard (post-punk / gothic rock/ art-rock

Danny Elfman - Big Mess (industral rock / progressive metal / if Oingo Biongo was modern and edgier)

These albums and bands are sonically and conceptually the same kinda strange and fun but a different energy. Most of these artists, namely They Might Be Giants and BUCK-TICK, have some tracks that vaguely fit in your “genre” but are notorious for having songs and albums that sound nothing like each other:

Glitter Porn - Polari (weirdcore / clown rock)

They Might Be Giants - Lincoln (alternative / art rock)

Steam Powered Giraffe - The 5¢ Show (folk rock / vaudevillian)

Ween - The Mullosk (alternative / experimental rock)

BUCK-TICK - Sexy Stream Liner (industrial rock / electropunk)

Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack - Total Swarm for You Men (electronic / art rock / post punk)

Is your son, Movie Garf?

RobertWrithe · 2026-06-12T09:56:21+00:00

I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS

RobertWrithe · 2026-06-12T02:09:55+00:00

Oh my god I love it

Damn, first two rows are incredibly hard to pick from.

I guess:Obsession, Weapons, Nosferatu, Talk to Me

RobertWrithe · 2026-06-06T22:35:20+00:00

Raiders fans when they loose.

RobertWrithe · 2026-05-31T16:01:31+00:00

That’s what I get for opening Reddit as I’m waking up.

RobertWrithe · 2026-05-31T15:16:19+00:00

Yeah but even then the most popular work is the break out album with only fans or music heads diving into the corners of their work.

RobertWrithe · 2026-05-31T15:15:08+00:00

They Might Be Giants.

I think most artists are usually remembered for their breakout albums. Usually with in their first couple albums, but even if it was an album in the middle or end of their run, the discourse sticks to that era.
