Yup
Don’t you remember Dicaprio walking out of the lift at the end of The Departed? 
No idea who’s actually working on it from that team.
Chaser kind of reminded me of a more realistic Sin City in a lot of ways, so idk, maybe. You could argue that Reservoir Dogs was the US remake of…
Tarantino admits it being a huge inspiration. So it could work yeah
Btw, if you search for City on Fire on youtube the 1st result seems to be the entire film…classic Chow Yun Fat Hong Kong Cinema.
Not as good as Hard Boiled though…

I would call it a rethinking
La Leyenda del Tiempo left quite an impression on me when National Gallery of Art in DC showed it as part of an Isaki Lacuesta film series. Two storylines taking place on “La Isla” (San Fernando), with a tiny bit of crossover.
Such a striking start to the film with footage of Camaron de la Isla performing “Leyenda del Tiempo” interspersed with footage of his funeral, then we see the main character in one of the two storylines watching Camaron on TV. She goes on a seemingly absurd quest to learn to sing like Camaron…
I’m glad I saw this film when it was showing because it’s really hard to get any info on it outside of Spain.
Almost any A24 movie.

Great choices. I just wanted to mention ‘I went down’ as a great example of a quality and largely unseen Irish movie.

It’s an excellent film. I first saw it when I was maybe 14 and it changed my ideas about what films could be. Before then I’d lived on a typical diet of kids movies and action films.

Watched this at the theater. The scene when they return from this water planet and discover that their fellow astronaut aged several decades is such a heartbreaking moment

Yeah, I saw Interstellar at the Cinema too. It’s one of the best films I’ve gone out to see in recent years (I don’t get to the cinema much these days though). Loved the super trippy end scenes!

Funny, I got bored. I’m pretty easy to please normally…just how it is, I still wonder what it is 
One film I warmly recommend is There Will Be Blood, with Dean iel Day Lewis, my favorite actor. What a movie!

Some people think it’s one of the best films ever made and others seem to either find it boring and complicated or just don’t like it. I personally think it’s amazing, the score, the visuals, especially the scene on the water planet is fantastic, definitely one of my favourites, after watching it the first time it was like wow !!!

I recomnend watching some of the expressionist silent movies from the 20ths. Some of them were greatly restaurated on blu-ray in the last years (the streaming versions are crap), especially from the murnau stiftung in germany. the musical scores are just phenomenal. From kubrick to burton, they all stand on the shoulders of these giants. here are some tipps:

And I’ve watched this film multiple times and love it, maybe because I work in finance

It‘s fine and certainly enjoyable, but I found all the dialogue about science and whatnot a bit corny and somewhat distracting from the emotional flow (?) of the movie.

It’s one of those films that has generated a lot of debate, you only have to look at the hundreds of reviews on rotten tomatoes and the audience scores vary wildly from 1 star to 5 star, definitely 5 star from me
