Recommend/talk about (mostly) non-mainstream films!

Just means you need to watch the others!

Thatā€™s true

Oh shit, Ninja III is out??

errā€¦ 1984 Ninja III. Donā€™t be discouraged though! The ā€œevilā€ ninja kills twenty cops on a golf course during the opening scene. Itā€™s good.

Just thought of some real goodā€™ns!

Turtles Can Fly
Favorite Scene (out of context; not really a spoiler):

The Face of Another
The best set design Iā€™ve ever seen.

Baran
Another Iranian movie. The trailer just makes up a plot (donā€™t watch it), and no one scene comes to mind. But itā€™s basically the most perfect meditation on ā€œThe One Who Got Awayā€ feelings Iā€™ve ever seen.

oh wow actually i just found a txtfile i made of sbutt community reccs years and years ago and iā€™ve seen them all now except our lady of the turks and cockfighter

so get on those probably

battle of algiers

Oh shit war movies

Come And See
Zulu
Master & Commander (it really isnā€™t Gladiator with boats, itā€™s good)
That one about the Soviet tank crew in Afghanistan, what the hell was it called oh yeah The Beast
Sword of Gideon is straight up propaganda about the Israeli hunting and killing of the Munich terrorists and itā€™s so refreshing next to Spielbergā€™s disingenuous monsterpiece
Das Boot is pretty good I guess
