Some Japanese animation that may fit the bill:

• Dallos (1983) - A scifi/political OVA from the creator of Ghost in the Shell.
• Kite (1998) - Action/revenge movie. Includes porn scenes, but IMO this is not a typical "hentai" movie.
• Ninja Scroll (1993) - Action movie set in pre-Meiji era.
• Megazone 23 (1985 to 1989) - Series of scifi/cyberpunk movies. The concept and especially the first movie likely served as an inspiration for the Matrix series.
• Perfect Blue (1998) - An exploitation/thriller that IMO easily beats most Hollywood fare. Was originally supposed to a live-action movie, but they switched to animation because they couldn't get the budget for a live-action movie.
• Vampire Hunter D (1985) - Solid vampire themed action movie.
• Wicked City (1987) - Action/horror with gothic themes and nudity.

CG is their sister site. I don't believe they have another sister site.

Like with all private trackers, best route is via invite forums. If you can get into CG, you should be able to get into TVV.

This sounds exactly like my kind of movie. Not to mention it's being made by Bong Joon Ho, made one of favourite movies (across all genres); Memory of a Murder.

While his later movies are excellent (Okja, Snowpiercer, Parasite), Memories of a Murder benefits from a more indie vibe, a less polished presentation and a more eclectic style. Check it out if you liked his later movies (I would recommend watching it in Korean with subtitles).

Let's see how those plays out, hopefully it won't be lame.

Btw, if you go in without any expectations, The Fly II is decent. Just don't compare it to the Cronenberg release and take it for what it is.

I generally dislike musicals (with some exceptions like Dancer in the Dark and Moulin Rouge!), but the Back to the Future franchise seems like a bad fit for a musical.

More so than most franchises, Back to the Future feels very tied to the zeitgeist of its time (80s to early 90s).

Then again, they made Joker 2 a musical (I recently found out about this and had to double check that this wasn't a joke).

If you approach it as an unintentional parody, it can be fun.

I have a feeling this is going to be terrible. Hopefully in a "so bad, it's good" kind of way, but I have my doubts.

I watched the remake first and I actually liked it more than the original (marginally). The original was great, but I honestly thought the remake was more entertaining (and I have no issues watching "older" movies).

The second one was solid as well, but as often happens with sequels, it didn't quiet match the first one.

That being said, I am looking forward to the third one.
