 Posted: Sun, 28th Dec 2008 14:59 Post subject: Movie recommendation |
|
 |
Hi,
I'm looking for movies in the same genre as Memento, The Salton Sea, Insomnia, Film Noir,...
Movies with a nice plot that will keep me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Something with a dark tone and with some kind of criminal background (people being crossed and so on).
I find it very hard to find movies of that genre I haven't seen yet.
Can someone recommend me some titles?
Thx

Try some asian films. Vengance trilogy (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Old Boy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance), A Bittersweet Life, The Chaser and all three Infernal Affairs films.
Also couple of Brasilians ones should be to your taste like Ciudad de Deus and Tropa de Elite.

saw Brick and The Lookout, both very nice movies.
i would've liked to see this brick movie with "adults" and a darker atmosphere though.
thx again

Last Man Standing is pretty damn good.
Fist Full of Dollars maybe?

All gathering inspiration from a true great(Dashiell Hammett):
Yojimbo
A Fistful of Dollars
Last Man Standing
Blood Simple
Miller's Crossing
All are just bitching movies.
8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!
