Scariest film out there?

Something similar to Drive but more of a focus on the driving aspect of it, nothing too flashy. [editline]27th December 2012[/editline] Or films about professionals of obscure jobs like the guy in Drive.

Transporter or Transporter 2 might do the trick.

Collateral maybe?

[QUOTE=shrektheturd2;38987476]Collateral maybe?[/QUOTE] That and Thief (1981)

[QUOTE=cardfan212;38940139]I want a movie with awesome special effects that are not CGI. I just love the effects for The Thing and Hellraiser.[/QUOTE] If you are into gore and horror movie: BrainDead Bad Taste Night of the living Dead (1980 version) Evil Dead 2 and 3

Would any of you recommend Videodrome or Scanners? Or anything else from David Cronenberg, really? He seems like an interesting fellow.

[QUOTE=ShaneAlvarado;39004110]Would any of you recommend Videodrome or Scanners? Or anything else from David Cronenberg, really? He seems like an interesting fellow.[/QUOTE] Those two plus A History of Violence and Eastern Promises

Hello guys, could you recommend some movies similar to The White Ribbon, Wild Strawberries and Winter Light? I want some dark, sad movies with long takes and stuff like that. I mean real depressing shit like Winter Light with dialogues as strong as they were in Wild Strawberries and darkness of The White Ribbon. Anyone?

Does anyone know a good movie, set in the medieval time period, or a fantasy equivalent?

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;39023166]Does anyone know a good movie, set in the medieval time period, or a fantasy equivalent?[/QUOTE] Oh BOY, might want to narrow that down a little. Comedy, serious, what?

[QUOTE=Chronische;39023380]Oh BOY, might want to narrow that down a little. Comedy, serious, what?[/QUOTE] Serious, I suppose. Action, drama, whatever.

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;39023396]Serious, I suppose. Action, drama, whatever.[/QUOTE] Henry V Kingdom of Heaven [editline]29th December 2012[/editline] I have a request. I am in love with Layer Cake and I'd like to see a similar movie. Any recommendations?

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;39023396]Serious, I suppose. Action, drama, whatever.[/QUOTE] Ivanhoe, Excalibur, The 13th Warrior, Willow, Legend, First Knight.. the list goes on and on. There are so many of them to choose from!

[QUOTE=Konigstiger96;39024095]In Bruges The Departed [/QUOTE] I have seen both of these movies. Anything else?

a horror movie that scares you through atmosphere

[QUOTE=Slacker996;39024814]a horror movie that scares you through atmosphere[/QUOTE] Noroi: The Curse

[QUOTE=Konigstiger96;39005326]Those two plus A History of Violence and Eastern Promises[/QUOTE] I've decided to seek the two I mentioned, and I'll keep what you recommended in mind. Somewhat related, anything good with body horror? I'm fucked up and find the subject to be fascinating. I guess it probably started with Akira, which is now my favorite movie. I'm pretty sure I've already mentioned it in this thread. Anyway, if you like science fiction and/or animation, and you haven't seen it, go fucking see it. It's beautiful, and the animation was excellent for it's time. Yes, it's anime. No, it's not [I]kawaii~[/I]

[QUOTE=ShaneAlvarado;39026049] Somewhat related, anything good with body horror?[/QUOTE] hahaha That's like a huge chunk of Cronenberg's work

[QUOTE=Slacker996;39024814]a horror movie that scares you through atmosphere[/QUOTE] the thing

Anyone?[/QUOTE]Those are some very subtle story films so thats a hard one. Lars Von Triers stuff isn't similar but doesn't deliver a story right in your face like mainstream cinema, sometimes the point of his films are not so obvious. [B]Melancholia[/B] was a great piece of work. [B]A Phophet [/B]might be more to your taste from French cinema. I'm also hearing great things about [b]Rust and bone[/b] with Marion Cottilard.

I saw Funny Games US a while ago. It really fuckin fucked my mind, and wondered if there's anything similar out there?

Anything like Silent Running? Just finished watching it and I was amazed

[QUOTE=GeneralSpecific;39030925]Moon[/QUOTE] Seen it but thanks

I need something that tells a story through character development but dosen't force it upon the viewer.

[QUOTE=Anotherwall;39032847]I need something that tells a story through character development but dosen't force it upon the viewer.[/QUOTE] Umm... There Will Be Blood? Not exactly sure what you want, just really subtle character development?

modernly made depressing as fuck post apocalyptic movie like the road
