The Man Who Knew Too Little

Threads. Especially should be mandatory for politicians. To date one of the most accurate portrayals of nuclear war. It is not an uplifting movie.

If you want to add non English movies to the list, then I have two to suggest:

  • Children of Heaven
  • Cinema Paradiso
[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Cinema Paradiso is such a beautiful thing. First time I watched it I wanted to start it all over again.

If you like horror and you haven't seen Repo! The Genetic Opera, nows the time.

Blade Runner

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Movies made outside of the US. United-statesians underestimate too much on other countries' productions. There's many great movies made outside of Hollywood that you can find if you search.

A suggestion that I can give is Netflix's Brazilian film Just Another Christmas, where a guy who hates Christmas gets on a time curse and he keeps waking up on each year's next Christmas eve, his life keeps changing before his eyes and at the end he learns a valuable lesson. I've seen it being compared to Click, not sure though.

Flight of the Phoenix, the original B&W one from the 50s

Fantastically atmospheric, you can feel the tension all the way through the film

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Requiem for a Dream. But probably only watch it once.
