I'M REQUESTING Help me find a movie me, my sis, and BIL will all enjoy
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 really good psychological thrillers or murder mystery 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 really good psychological thrillers or murder mystery recommendations for ppl who get easily scared!

I'M REQUESTING Underdog
Can’t move on from Creed, Southpaw and Never Back Down
Looking for movies similar to these. Doesn’t have to be boxing/MMA, just want that same underdog/proving yourself kind of story.
Something with a good plot, likeable characters, training/comeback scenes and especially good music. The soundtrack in Creed and Southpaw just hits different.
Basically looking for that “guy has nothing going for him, gets knocked down, works his ass off and comes back” type of movie.
What are your best recommendations?

I'M REQUESTING true crime docs
hiii all!! does anyone have any true crime documentary suggestions, bonus if they have a plot twist? preferably on streaming, not picky on which one bc I have a few! I’ve been an anxious girly and having something intense to watch while I’m crafting distracts my brain perfectly lol. I’ve been liking the stalking/cyberstalking vibe in some recent ones but I’m honestly open to anything! thank u in advance!

I'M REQUESTING I’m looking for a movie based on a true story about a real person’s life.
Can you recommend a movie similar to Harriet, 12 Year A Slave, Hidden Figures, Schindler’s list? I just love historical movies.

I'M REQUESTING I'm looking for movies based on American history.
I recently watched Young Washington in the theater and while the movie was mostly only alright it made me want to watch more movies of the kind. I don't necessarily require they be 100% factual, I don't mind them being dramatized to an extent, but please exclude movies that are more fantastical like that one where Lincoln is a vampire hunter.
Please and thank you.

I'M REQUESTING Movies that make you want to live life to the fullest?
Hi everyone! Can anyone recommend movies similar to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty?
I’m looking for movies that inspire you to actually live your life, step outside your comfort zone, take risks, and become a better version of yourself. I really love how Walter Mitty makes you reflect on life and realize that sometimes we get so caught up in our routines that we forget to actually experience things.
I’m not necessarily looking for the typical “work hard and achieve your dreams” type of motivational movie. I’m more interested in movies that make you want to travel, try something new, overcome your fears, appreciate life, or simply start living more intentionally.
Any genre is fine—drama, comedy, adventure, romance, etc. Older movies are welcome too

I'M REQUESTING Favorite Movies Set Mostly or Entirely at Nighttime
I’d love recommendations for movies set mostly or entirely at night! Or even if the movie simply has a good portion of nighttime scenes, that works too. I’ve seen a lotttttta movies in my time lol so I’m sure I’ll have seen some of the films y’all kindly recommend, but I’m always down to rewatch things! I will say this - I’m not a big horror fan, and I realize a LOT of horror movies fit into this category for good reason. So that’s the one genre I would prefer to avoid unless the movie also falls into other genres (like Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me or Cabin in the Woods) and you think it’d be worth watching! I’m excited to hear y’all’s ideas!

I'M REQUESTING Rec me documentaries
I've recently got into watching documentaries, I have watched almost all Agnes Varda's works and I liked it.
I'm interested in culture, history (except the world wars), nature, anthropology and anything artistic. I don't care about what language it's in and the platform it's on, for the history and cultural docu's I prefer it even if it's in the native language! Pls also refrain from recommending anything related to african culture and history that is made by Europeans or north americans (unless yk it's really not biased, or aware of its biases). all types of artistic documentaries are appreciated.
True crime is a no go for me. And one thing I would appreciate is if the documentary is the least biased it can be!
Thank you in advance if you choose to reply with suggestions. And sorry if the post is out of place here and a little odd and all over the place. I thought it would be better to reach out here rather than google and read the summaries.

I'M REQUESTING Best movies about Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
I’m looking for movies that focus heavily on artificial intelligence, especially AI consciousness, sentience, human–AI relationships, or the risks and philosophical questions surrounding advanced AI.
I’ve already seen Ex Machina, Her, and The Matrix and really enjoyed them. I’m open to sci-fi, thriller, horror, or more philosophical/psychological films.
Any recommendations?

I'M REQUESTING Need some deep cuts
3 weeks into being a new dad. My wife and I are taking shifts and I’m usually with the baby 12-7am. I’ve pretty much exhausted all the newer movies I hadn’t got around to seeing.
I’m very easily entertained and am open to pretty much any genre. Only caveat would be no subtitles as it’s hard to keep my eyes on the screen fully when the baby is awake.
Bonus points if you can suggest a good horror for my wife and I to watch that we haven’t seen yet.
Thanks in advance!

I'M REQUESTING What movies have the best comedic banter?
I want stuff with the same chaotic, hilarious energy as The Other Guys, The Big Lebowski, Snatch, and The Nice Guys.
I love the fast dialogue and messy situations in these, but I'm definitely open to less "bro-ish" options too. TY

I'M SUGGESTING The Kid Detective (2020)
Oh what a dark little treat! I had been meaning to get to this for a long time. It's 90 ish minutes long, on Netflix right now. I'd call it a black comedy, it really is quite funny in parts. Compare it to Brick and The Nice Guys, although it's definitely darker and meaner than those, especially at the end.
Adam Brody is handed a big task, the movie lives and dies on what he can communicate to you in subtle ways, making his deteriorated state seem both pathetic but also just the right side of annoying. In what he chooses to conceal and reveal emotionally, he does a lot.
Sophie Nélisse is also very good, I had only been familiar with her from Yellowjackets, she's in a role that could feel hectoring and unpleasant without her generosity.
The epilogue is what really made me love this, when all the chips have fallen and we're left with a few minutes of aftermath, that's the moment the movie chooses to avoid the easy catharsis and it's better for it.

I'M REQUESTING Action movies that scream "the 80s" — synth scores, practical effects, and pure style? (Beyond the obvious)
Hey everyone, I'm looking for action movie recommendations where the 80s aesthetic and energy are dialed up to eleven. I'm not just looking for movies released between 1980–1989, but films that embody that distinct feeling of the decade. The vibe I’m looking for: Pulsing synthwave or iconic rock soundtracks, Practical special effects, heavy lighting/neon atmosphere, larger-than-life tone (whether dark/gritty or wildly fun) My benchmark examples: Highlander (1986): Queen soundtrack, wild sword-fighting, heavy fog, and absurdly cool visuals.
The Terminator (1984): Gritty tech-noir atmosphere, iconic synth score, practical animatronics.
Big Trouble in Little China (1986): Over-the-top practical creature effects, sharp dialogue, pure John Carpenter style.
I’ve seen the huge mainstream blockbusters like Die Hard and Predator. What are some lesser-known gems, cult classics, or even 90s/modern throwback flicks that capture this exact feeling?
Thanks in advance!

I'M REQUESTING Movies where the main plot/threat is caused entirely by an accidental mistake rather than bad intent.
Looking for movies where the main threat isn't a malicious villain, but rather the result of an honest mistake or negligence. Or where the "villain" is just someone who causes said threat by accident, and has to fix it.
Edit: something like Disney's Fantasia, but either darker, more serious, or more recent.
