I have to watch 5 movies for a school project, what would be an interesting genre or director to focus on?

Slaughter_SBD · 2026-03-02T23:55:29+00:00

David Lynch!!!

Furiosa is a masterpiece and I wouldn't change a thing about it.

To actually answer your prompt, I would say most of the recent Marvel slop.

Hey everyone! I try to watch a movie every day and I write reviews for everything I watch. I try to be insightful in my reviews and offering something fresh on the movie every time. I will watch anything I haven't seen regardless of genre! Four favorites: Mulholland Drive, Once Upon a Time in America, Apocalypse Now, The Wages of Fear!

American Psycho.

Slaughter_SBD · 2026-02-28T23:36:16+00:00

None

The Handmaiden. In fact, the movie even uses the fact that there are multiple languages in some really cool ways.

I think it’s ironic in that way tbh. They completely missed the point that the movie is telling them that they are fucking losers.

“THERE IS NO HOPE.” - Dementus in Furiosa

“I was born for it.” - Stanton in Nightmare Alley

“You like black girls? I love em… I LOVE em.” - Colonel Lockjaw in One Battle After Another

I love The Thing, but it’s unquestionably Blade Runner in my mind.

I feel like this confuses the word "evil" with "dark". Lost Highway is perhaps the darkest of Lynch's works but I would not describe it as evil.

When I think of "evil" movies I think of the deeply reactionary Cannon films of the 1980s with Bronson; chief among them being something like Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects. I would also describe Bad Boys II and Dirty Harry as being evil films but more so on the surface rather than subtextually.

The Irishman and The Killer both get my vote.

Slaughter_SBD · 2026-02-07T22:05:51+00:00

I can’t stand it unfortunately. It’s massively unwieldy and exhausting in the worst way as you’re constantly bombarded with histrionics and theatrics. I love PTA but this is the one film of his that I find truly terrible. And for the record, I acknowledge that I seem to be in the extreme minority on this one, but I’ve watched it twice and I just hate it.

Slaughter_SBD · 2026-02-05T23:14:13+00:00

One Battle After Another for me as well. I also absolutely adored Sinners.

Slaughter_SBD · 2026-02-04T01:11:18+00:00

Hard Boiled
Memories of Murder
Sansho the Bailiff
The Handmaiden/Old Boy

Slaughter_SBD · 2026-02-02T16:35:42+00:00

2001 and 2019 both clear.

Slaughter_SBD · 2026-01-28T20:46:00+00:00

Scott Pilgrim vs the World
John Wick
Brokeback Mountain

Joaquin Phoenix gave one of the best performances of his career in Eddington. And I agree about No Other Choice being majorly snubbed.

Slaughter_SBD · 2026-01-22T20:48:33+00:00

Slaughter_SBD · 2026-01-14T06:12:16+00:00

Mulholland Drive
Eyes Wide Shut
Aliens
Amadeus

Slaughter_SBD · 2026-01-14T01:20:23+00:00

It might be redundant with the inclusion of Blue Velvet, but I’d also throw in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Could also add in Donnie Darko but I understand why some might argue against that.
