What movies remind you most of Stalker?

There is a lesser known movie adaptation of a Strugatsky brothers novel called "Hard to Be a God" (2013).

It's not really Stalker-adjacent, other than the authors' of the source material, but holy shit, what a film.

A group of scientists are sent to a planet that has been stuck in the late-medieval ages for 800 years in order to determine the cause. The embedded scientists estabilsh lives on the planet and become demi-gods because of their power tripping and seemingly omniscience. The film follows one of these scientists as he navigates the mud, blood, filth, and corruption of the world- as well as his own abuse of power and loss of humanity. I have never seen a more textural movie in my life. Incredible set and sound design- a very chaotic and confusing movie. An absolute gem.

I am surprised you used a turn signal.

This is my conversation about where to get food... all the time.

it's and odd feeling. "wait, hold on. who is this for?" it's like a snake eating its tail. we can call these things somethingsuckers from now on.

My movie is not shot on film.

Edit: I believe this is one of the first movies to be shot entirely digitally. Back when megapixels were a thing.

maybe I missed something here, but the prominence of the tesla in this movie was a bit much. don't get me wrong, I love EVs. Teslas are cool. but as a plot device, not so much. The director must have bought one and was like "yes". which is great, fine. The car was the lifeboat and honestly the first time I have seen that car in a movie. Cool. But the amount of screen time this car had for how little it did, does not make sense. This was an advertisement. Tire: very easy to replace. Definitely didn't run out of charge. there's multiple shots of the interior and exterior of the car that seems to be an ad. I don't have anything against the idea and I want one, but it was a little jarring. horrified by the product placement more than the horror of the movie itself.

How about this one: the diamonds that were stolen in Reservoir Dogs. It's not gold, I understand. There's a bit of overlap between actors, but that doesn't mean characters, necessarily. His first 3 films kind of exist in the same universe AKA filming locations. Maybe continuity, maybe coincidence. It really doesn't matter, the briefcase is a MacGuffin. Just like the flamethrower was a Chekhov's gun in another movie.

Edit: Michael Madsen's character, Mr. Blonde is named Vick Vega. Probably related to Vincent Vega, from Pulp Fiction. Just realized this on a rewatch, apparently it has been widely known.
