City of God
Lives of Others

Haven't seen either of these yet. I need to remedy that...


Oh man, immediately add to your quarantine queue. City of God is one of 25ish movies I own it is so good.


TCTTS, did you watch it yet?

Sorry, I still haven't had the chance. Trying to catch up on all the 2020 movies first, then I'll give it a shot.

From the OP; I have seen Adventureland, Drinking Buddies, Our Idiot Brother, Ruby Sparks, and Your Sister's Sister. Enjoyed them all, but specifically really like Ruby Sparks and Your Sister's Sister.

Adventureland was good and all, but I actually think the lesser known movie with Jessie Eisenberg in it that I really enjoyed was End of the Tour. I don't even know what caused me to Redbox that movie when I did, but it completely floored me.



Another one that so many people have not seem to have seen, but is in my top 10 of the 2000's is Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Just such an enjoyable movie. Love everything about it.



Also, one of my favorite movies of all time is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I can watch it any time. I don't know if it is necessarily unknown, but so many people have not seen it.



Great additions. I love all three of those movies.

Nothing I saw in 2020 was as good as City of God

Tapeheads (1988) - Early career John Cusak and Tim Robbins star in this satire of the music business/MTV. The jokes come fast and silly. Includes a highly quotable Don Cornelius as Mo Fuzz and Sam Moore & Junior Walker as the mythical group the Swanky Modes. I know no one else who has seen it.


I've seen it, but we don't know each other.
We do now. Did you like it?

TBH I barely remember it.

Firstly, just going to reiterate The Lives of Others and City of God. I remember being so pissed that Pans Labyrinth (also nominate this one bc it's so fantastic visually) didn't win the best foreign Oscar, which instead went to The Lives of Others....after Netflix mail dvd-ing....I reluctantly came to the conclusion: The Academy got it right. So damn good. "No. It's for me." really got me in the feels.


Another I will throw out there: The Proposition

I'm sure I've posted it before, but loved this movie. So beautifully shot with almost no dialogue, but a powerful story all the same.
