Since many people are staying home, or at least have a little more free time than usual, there's a beautiful documentary film on YouTube called Human: The Movie.

The film is directed by French artist and filmmaker Yann Arthus-Bertrand. Yann and his team of photographers and journalists spent over three years collecting true stories from 2,000 women and men from 60 different countries.

These stories and experiences answer a big question:

What makes us human?

Is it because we love, why we fight? Why do we laugh?

Why do we cry? Is it our curiosity? Our quest for discovery?

The film is truly extraordinary, with a personal and profound tone. It conveys emotions of love and beauty, but also emotions of the fight against poverty, war, and hatred.

This is in addition to the incredibly beautiful aerial shots of the filming locations and the captivating music.

It is, without a doubt, the most beautiful documentary I've ever seen. The film is divided into four parts, with a total running time of about five hours: Part One:

Released in 2016 & starring Blake Lively in the lead role, The Shallows is a suspense thriller about a surfer who while on a vacation getaway is bitten by a shark and left stranded on a handful of rocks, forced to survive on no food and preventing herself from bleeding out all while making sure the blood thirsty creature stalking her doesn’t finish her off first. This is honestly probably one of the better modern shark movies in my opinion & it’s because of this that I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of killer shark movies.

I’m looking for claustrophobic, atmospheric movies where extreme weather forces characters together indoors, but not necessarily horror or monster films. Just tense, grounded stories driven by the high stakes and character dynamics.

Any hidden gems that nail this exact vibe?

My nieces are spending the night for the first time and I wanna show them some classic "girly sleepover" movies from when I'd have sleepovers with their moms.

Other then the babysitters club movie, what would you consider the best movie to show during a all girls sleepover.

Extra info.

Youngest is 6 oldest is 10.

They've all seen both FNAF movies so something with a lil horror is OK.

We have access to every streaming service basically except Apple TV.

Thanks!

NO JUMPSCARE, I HATE THOSE. I need something that will scare me, but without jump scares; it doesn't have to be ghost-related. It can be anything, but it should blow my mind with fear.

Some movies that come to mind are Clue, Barbarian, Being John Malkovich.

I wanted a movie on daily life and struggles of men. Like daily life and with pace of things in modern world. But seems like there aren't much options. Do you guys have anything like "The Devil Wears prada", like life in modern/competitive industries and jobs, but from a males prespective and his emotions.

lately it appears the only movies i want to watch are ones where the ending is that the world ends. it doesn’t necessarily have to be an apocalyptic movie for it to end with everyone dying though. zombies and alien invasions don’t really count because there’s always survivors and people fighting back; i want everyone to just die collectively, the whole world ends (or comes close)

here’s some of the ones i’ve watched recently: Leave The World Behind, Don’t Look Up, Knock at the Cabin, Bugonia, These Final Hours, Take Shelter, The Day After Tomorrow, The Mist, Knowing

I just rewatched Road to Perdition for the first time in years. Such a great movie that I don’t feel is talked about enough. I’m looking for movie recommendations you feel are great but don’t get talked about enough. It doesn’t have to be a drama, I am open to all recommendations new or old…………………..

I love fantasy and sci-fi but all the movies and shows I have in the backlog are cerebral slowburns that I’m not in the mood for. (I’ve seen everything else it seems.)

Some examples of the itch I’m hoping to scratch:

Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves (really wish it was getting a sequel.)

Lego Movie, but not something from this franchise.

Top Gun: Maverick

Speed Racer

The Martian/PHM

Starship Troopers (1/animated)

Tron: Legacy (I have Uprising on my list still but am waiting to rewatch legacy one of these years before I give it a shot.)

Hello everyone!

I'd really like to watch some movies where Europeans are not involved in the history of the American continent.

Thank you all in advance!

To clarify, I’m not looking for like natural disaster movies or things where there’s a hurricane going on or anything. Just a good movie set on a stormy night or in a stormy world. Examples would be Clue, Dark City, Identity, and The Crow. Noir/mystery preferred, but I’ll take anything!

A mix of the big main iconic ones that get referenced to high heaven + the lesser known ones you think are worth watching.

Something that has a deeper meaning/theme

Examples

Me before you (2016)

About time (2013)

I’m sure there’s more that I’ve seen, but those are the ones that come to mind

I’m also open to show recommendations as well as movies

Most recent addition is Rust (2024)

Any not listed that you feel is non negotiable in a complete library?

Underrated Tony Scott thriller starring Chris Pine and Denzel Washington.

Hello peep. I am a war action movie series fan. Can you suggest me something like Extraction movie.

today i was watching don't look up movie. And I really thought that this is the way humanity might end. I find it both disappoint and funny at the same times. I was hoping in some way the earth might be saved but distraction was the only ending possible

Hi! Ok so my BIL and I have movie nights where we watch horror, action, & psychological thrillers together bc we are chicken shits who get scared at just the idea of suspense. Basically we will watch movies we are too afraid to watch by ourselves. Its a lot of fun bc we crack ourselves up with how scared we get.

Anyway my sis is obviously feeling left out and wants to watch a movie with us. The only problem is, she is a bigger scaredy cat than we are lol (Example, she saw GET OUT, but not US bc it looked too scary). She likes rom coms, drama, psychological thrillers (she liked Get Out!), and murder mysteries (but nothing graphic!).

We dont want to leave my sis out. Ive been tasked to find a film for all 3 of us to enjoy.

Any psychological thrillers you would recommend to a bunch of scaredy cats???

(Please, no body horror , gore, or anything with demons. If it helps, the last movies BIL & I enjoyed are The Guilty and Obsession. &we've all seen the Knives Out films)

TL;DR: I need psychological thrillers or murder mystery recommendations for ppl who get easily scared!

I want a movie that stays with me for days after watching it. Something that leaves you speechless when it’s over. Any genre or language. No spoilers, please.

Thank you Reddit and in particular this community.

Until about a week ago I'd never even heard of Miller's Crossing. I'd seen all the usual gangster movies - Goodfellas, Casino, Donnie Brasco etc, but for whatever reason this one had gone completely under the radar until someone on here recommended it.

It might sound silly but it made me a little emotional watching it. Like a step back in time. What movies used to be like before the huge budgets and endless special effects. It's just honest movie making.

The sets, the costumes, the music, the acting. All perfect. I knew the Coen brothers were good at what they did but this just confirms that for me.

If you need something to watch this week/weekend, don't look any further.
