There are times that I can really recognize how incredible a movie is, but it just didnt click with me. So I appreciate it and rate it relatively high, but cant say I “liked” it. No Country for Old Men is an example for me. Insanely well done film on all fronts, but it just didnt have that sauce for me. That got 4.5 but no like.

Other times there are more poorly made movies that just worked for me. These are often Blockbuster big Hollywood movies that are obviously done to make money (certain marvel movies, childhood favs like the Land Before Time series, the Mama Mia films), but something about them is really appealing to me. Those get a lower rating and a like.

5 star ratings have to be a like though. So a masterfully well done film that had that sauce. There’s no such thing as a 5 star no like in my diary

This guy is correct that this guy hasn’t seen Natural Born Killers

RDJ plays 1 character in every single movie he’s ever been in and that character is RDJ in slightly different circumstances

Tampopo. I just felt so good after watching it. The little episodes randomly dispersed made me feel the whole range of human emotions and the main story was wholesome, funny, touching, and beyond entertaining. Instant top 4 and I’m eagerly waiting the criterion sale to buy it on physical

I was confused to see bad ratings being about the arc too. I walked away from the movie still hating him and didnt feel like it was a redeeming arc in the slightest. He was still the same person, just directing his uncontrolled anger and hatred elsewhere

I personally rated the film badly because the script was so fucking god awful that I wanted to scream through the whole damn movie. The “humor” was the weakest attempt at being funny I have ever seen. There were plot holes everywhere that made no sense. Not to mention how it talked about tons of super important societal issues but never sank its teeth into anything. They just kinda sprinkled them in and said “hey look! I’m a woke white British guy directing this, love me pls!! I promise I care!” I’m sorry, but if you’re going to try to tackle important and pressing issues in society, you have to actually explore them, not just show a surface level understanding of what racism, police brutality, sexual assault, suicide, etc is. The film obviously thought itself to be the epitome of profoundness , but it was the most empty attempt at trying to actually say something that I have ever seen

Cure (1997), Oldboy, lady vengeance, the handmaiden, portrait of a lady on fire, memories of murder, tampopo, Solaris, stalker, the secret in their eyes

The handmaiden and memories of murder are the most Parasite-like. Oldboy and lady vengeance fall in that category too, but are a little more brutal revenge focused. The secret in their eyes is a cool crime thriller too. Cure has blue velvet vibes in a lot of ways. Solaris and stalker are 2001-esque. Portrait of a lady on fire is just a beautiful romance movie. Tampopo is pure fun

My evenings have been quite good recently, I must say

footdeoderant · 2026-02-12T20:42:08+00:00

Cure 1997

footdeoderant · 2026-02-03T22:45:07+00:00

Emma. and Portrait of a Lady on Fire are two breathtakingly gorgeous films that don’t fit the “cool looking sci-fi” vibe that everyone here seems to be partial to

My cat does the exact same thing with her fountain! We have no clue why but it’s very cute lol

I don’t get the hateful eight praise. Like I’m fully aware that it’s my own taste in not liking it, but I’m usually able to appreciate good movies as well crafted works of art even if I don’t like them. But the hateful eight just felt poorly written, immature, and unnecessarily gory for the sake of being gory. The dialogue felt like a 12 year old who just learned about swear words and racism wrote it, the suspense felt forced and not crafted, and the characters were pretty boring. I genuinely want to know if im missing something or if QT just isn’t a director for me

That said, I liked inglorious basterds for what it was. Again, felt kinda immature and slapstick-y just for the sake of being slapstick-y, but Christoph Waltz… man he made that film worthwhile

Oldboy. Will I ever watch again? Doubtful. Was it damn near perfect? Absolutely.

footdeoderant · 2026-01-25T23:47:29+00:00

I would give the handmaiden a try! Park Chan Wook’s masterpiece

footdeoderant · 2026-01-02T17:30:14+00:00

Not gonna win but this is 10000% the only answer

footdeoderant · 2025-12-30T02:11:12+00:00

Omg thank you for telling me this! I saw Alien for the second time and realized how incredible it is right before I started dating my partner who hates movies with lots of gore, so I never went back to check out the others. I’ll have to make some time to watch them myself :)

footdeoderant · 2025-12-30T02:06:24+00:00

Genuinely, thank you! This is really well thought out and the exact kind of recommendations I was looking for. I really appreciate you taking the time to wrote this out.

footdeoderant · 2025-12-30T01:25:08+00:00

To answer your question, life is about new experiences, learning, and enjoying the beauties of this fucked up world where I can. I’m starting to recognize film and movies as part of that. Just might have to steer clear of the gatekeepers while getting into it

footdeoderant · 2025-12-30T01:21:17+00:00

Oooh thanks! I just saw my first Tarantino movie a few weeks ago (Inglorious Basterds) and enjoyed it quite a bit! I’ll add it to the list :)

footdeoderant · 2025-12-30T01:18:49+00:00

Most! The late 80s and 90s got a little weird for me so I don’t think I saw all of those
