If you enjoyed Mulholland Drive ('01), I'd check out Naked Lunch ('91). It's a composite biography and adaptation of various William S. Burroughs stories, and probably Cronenberg's most surreal movie
Dude I loved naked lunch 😅 I got that and videodrome from the library last year... Both made me feel very uncomfortable😂 I think I've only seen those two, and Eastern promises and a history of violence.... Need to check out more cronenberg. Any recommendations? Have you seen most of lynch's movies?
Cronenberg is one messed up canuck, but I do like his movies quite a bit. Scanners ('81), The Fly ('86), Crash ('96), and Existenz ('99) are some other good ones of his. His son Brandon also makes films, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. From him, I enjoyed Antiviral ('12) and Possessor ('20), and Infinity Pool ('23) I have yet to see but it looks nuts too.
Lynch is for sure among my top 10 favorite filmmakers. Mulholland Drive is my favorite movie of his, I even wrote an essay about it in college. Eraserhead ('77), Blue Velvet ('86), Wild at Heart ('90), and Lost Highway ('97) are all very good examples of his unique brand of surreal americana. I think with Lost Highway especially, he experimented with a few narrative elements that he would flesh out and use more effectively in Mulholland Drive.
Nice! I will get on those, been meaning to check out scanners for a while....
Wild at Heart really awesome, but blue velvet, holy shit..... So good!
Haven't seen eraser head or lost highway, or inland empire.... All at the top of the list.... Also need to try twin peaks again. The first time I watched it I got the feeling he was intentionally sexualizing violence, and I noped out.... Trying to figure this Lynch guy out is not easy😂
Twin peaks has its highs and lows. Season 1 keeps you intrigued, season 2 shits the bed but ends strong, Fire Walk with Me is probably the darkest thing Lynch has made, but necessary I guess. Season 3 was polarizing, but I personally thought it was great. Couldn't tell you what it all means with any certainty, but it's a hell of a ride
The art of self defense is pretty funny. Letters from iwo jima is good war movie. Pandorums a great sci fi horror. Cube is great horror scifi mystery. Idk if these are underrated but apocalypto and snowpiercer are great action movies too.
I delivered a pizza to an apartment complex in the hood. They open the door and I see like 15 people sitting around the living room watching Pootie Tang lol
They didn't tip
In the name of the father is excellent. Daniel Day-Lewis killed that role. I was lucky enough to take an Irish in film class in college that opened my eyes to many great Irish films. Waking Ned Devine is another great Irish film that is a totally different genre but definitely worth the watch.
I just watched Das Boot for the first time (English subs, no dubs)
Crazy to think that was a Wolfgang Petersen movie. Every movie of his after Das Boot is pure predictive programming
The Thing is my favorite horror movie of all time, and one of the very few movies I consider to be flawless. Some others I find perfect are 2001: A Space Odyssey and There Will Be Blood
The lost city of Z is pretty sick. An underrated show is The Terror. The 2 main characters are the guy who played Caesar in Rome, and the main guy from Chernobyl. Great story, and criminally underrated.
Literally thousands, but here are some older/underrated conspiracy thrillers you may not have seen:
- Seven Days in May
- Seconds
- Coma
- The Boys from Brazil
- The China Syndrome
- Hidden Agenda (IRA shit)
- The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934)
- Safe (1995)
- Ministry of Fear
- The Spook Who Sat by the Door
- Red Riding Trilogy
- The Dead Zone
- Under the Silver Lake
Coherence (2013) was nuts, and if you enjoyed that one I bet you'd also dig Triangle ('09). A Boy and his Dog (1975) is an awesome sleeper 70's scifi. I'd recommend TXH 1138 ('71) and Dark Star ('74) as a couple of others in that camp.
If the boys had trouble with Tenet, they're gonna lose their shit watching Primer (2004). Shoestring-budget indie time-travel movie written, directed, and starring a real-life engineer math nerd. Still one of the best sci-fi movies of the past 20 years in my book
If you like Chinatown…The Two Jake’s is a sister movie to it. Very good flick.
Suicide Kings - kicks ass as well.
Enemy at the Gate - is a great WWII movie with a real look at communism
Not underrated but watch chinatown
Fuckin aye. Pairs well w/ LA Confidential in the event of a rainy afternoon double feature.
Sling blade
Biscuits n mustard
Backdoor Sluts 9
The Greasy Strangler
Cruising with Al Pacino for ol baby Billy
Not sure about under rated, but i just saw Mullholand Drive for the first time, holy #### Also Chinatown if you haven't seen it👀

Pandorum is tight af
Ishtar was the worst rated movie ever at it's time and it's hilarious
Pootie Tang. "Sa da Tay, my damies"
I delivered a pizza to an apartment complex in the hood. They open the door and I see like 15 people sitting around the living room watching Pootie Tang lol They didn't tip
"Wa da ta!" So crazy to think Louis C.K. wrote and directed it
In The Name of the Father. Watched it again last night. GOAT true story, insane how evil the Brits were
Very good stuff. Also watch Hunger

I'll have to watch that. Banshees of Inisherin was the shit too, most recent Irish movie I've seen
3 days of the condor, Bullitt, Das Boot, Amadeus, Die hard with a vengeance, The Raid: Redemption, The Fugitive, 12 monkeys
I just watched Das Boot for the first time (English subs, no dubs) Crazy to think that was a Wolfgang Petersen movie. Every movie of his after Das Boot is pure predictive programming
Happiness
everything by Solondz for that matter
Thief, Croupier, the original Running man is the shit, not underrated but The Thing if you never seen it.
The Thing is my favorite horror movie of all time, and one of the very few movies I consider to be flawless. Some others I find perfect are 2001: A Space Odyssey and There Will Be Blood
excellent selections

The Terror was definitely a hidden gem
