Great thread
This movie is great too, it is my fav movie of all time, I've uploaded it here if anyone's curious about it:
Being There (1979)
thanks, very nice. i'll take a look at that and dune too. i've been meaning to see both.
Mindgame (2005)
PERFECT MOVIE TO MENTION on this forum. I've probably seen as many animated movies as the average person. Cowboy bebop series, some champloo- that's about it.. But I'd recommend Mindgame to anyone who likes psychedelics, especially to anyone who's totally crossed over. the first time i saw it, it was already up to the scene where everyone is in the restaurant and the angry soccer player comes in with another guy -- i had no idea what the movie was about, and this is juuuuust when the movie 'takes off'. i felt it was really a great place to start the movie, because the unexpectedness, intensity, and introspection was similar to a trip. so i enjoyed not knowing exactly how the characters, mainly just the 3, were related to each other (you can figure it out anyway as the movie progresses, but it leaves some room for further surprise). I definitely would recommend it.
Enter The Void (2010)
it's a long movie, and it's shot as though it were one long take with great visuals and camera work. i fell asleep halfway through the first time i watched it, as it seems to slow down even more after maybe an hour (hard to imagine - though it picks back up toward the end of the middle - anyhow it was nice to fall asleep to). i watched it all over again the next day. spice is common in the movie, and there is a cafe/bar in it called 'the void' - though this isn't the only reference in the movie to the title. the end really sums the title up (as much as it can i guess), and was pretty wild. overall a really cool movie, and i think it's also relevant to the forum for obvious reasons.
Martyrs (2008
it's LIKE horror, but i thought it went much further. the plot didn't hinge on some ridiculous back story, and went further than to simply try and "solve" the problem. it's a long movie but at about halfway it shifts focus greatly. it's almost like 2 movies in one, though each part is important to the other. it is a violent movie, perhaps on par with something like, say, Hostel (though the violence is a little different). but like i said, there is more happening in this movie.
Inside (2007)
this would also be classified as horror. it is actually pretty gruesome and seemingly random, but it does an interesting and possibly really subtle job of establishing motive (at least for awhile - can't remember exactly how/if it was directly revealed).
