Spanish zombie horror movie filmed in found footage style, similar to Blair Witch Project. It's about a reporter named Ángela Vidal and her cameraman Pablo, who cover the night shift in one of Barcelona's local fire stations for the documentary television series they're working on. While they are recording, the firehouse receives a call about an old woman who is trapped in her apartment and screaming. Ángela and Pablo accompany two of the firefighters, Álex and Manu, to the apartment building, there hell breaks loose.
This film originated an american remake called "Quarantine", which isn't nearly as good. "[•REC]" has three sequels: "[•REC]²", "[•REC]³: Genesis" and "[•REC]⁴: Apocalypse". The 3rd and 4rth films lose the found footage style, opting for the regular filming method. Also, the third one is more like a spin-off/parallel sequel which happens before, during and after the first two movies, while 4 is a direct sequel to the second one and the final installment of the series. I recommend them to everyone who loves zombie horror movies and B-movies.

Eh, a good thriller movie would be Flightplan. Mediocre reviews, but I like it.
A woman's child disappears in the middle of a flight to New York, where they were both on their way to the funeral of her recently deceased husband. The child doesn't seem to have ever boarded the plane, thus starting a pretty good psychological thriller.
I'd think of more, but it's midnight here so I can't at the moment. maybe later
Speaking of lesbian movies. Just got done watching Blue Is the Warmest Color and I don't know. The "love" scenes are super fucking graphic, and the movie itself is generally good but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're not too uptight about how much sex a movie exposes you too.
For me personally, I liked it, but the length of the film may turn some off coupled with the fact the movie is essentially what you'd expect from a coming-of-age movie about blossoming lesbian romance.
Oh, and Mulholland Drive is literally one of my favorite movies ever. I actually have a poster up in my room along with Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, and Hunger.
Requiem for a Dream - Only movie that has ever made me cry. It will hit you hard.
Mulholland Drive - Nobody does unsettling like David Lynch. Also, lesbians.
Fight Club - A movie adaptation that actually does justice to the source material.
Just got done watching one of the most uncomfortable film I've seen in a good year (roughly since I saw Irreversible).
The movie is called Kids, written by Harmony Korrine and directed by Larry Clark. Both relatably talented, if not both super obtuse and extremely harsh in the tone of their films. A movie about the AIDS epidemic that spread through inner city metropolis' throughout the 90's and a group of troubled youth going through a day of hardcore drug use, sexual conquests, and violent street fights using actual children (most of which weren't actors and actually lived the life displayed).
I can't say I "enjoyed" myself watching it, but it was for sure real enough in it's tone to get peoples' mind jogging even 20+ years after it's initial release.
Mobile Suit Gundam Movie Trilogy. Available on youtube currently until September 22nd 2016. Experience a Japanese cultural icon, one so beloved in Japan that it is often referred to as "Japan's Star Wars." I would high recommend people watch these while they're available for free on youtube for this short time period. They're great movies, even if the animation is quite dated. The MSG Trilogy changed the entire Japanese animation industry in just a few years, giving birth to the 1980s which is considered by most to be the golden age of animation in general. It brought forth what was and still is very serious story, very ahead of it's time. The story emulates The 2nd World War. It was sold to the "studio" by convincing them it can also be a toy commercial with mecha, and it would become the first "Real Mech" or Realistic Mech animation. Just don't let it's dated animation fool you. It is a gem.
Wow my friends and I went to see kids in theaters,after haveing watched famous review show(2 thumbs up) Its indeed a hard watch,as I recall Roger Ebert "Refused to belive that our youth were so cold and heartless" and encuraged us(the youth at the time) to prove this film wrong!". I wish I could say we did.

A bitter pill to swallow, but a topic that for sure needed to get out to audiences nonetheless.
Ghost Busters 1984 Just the fact I have to put 1984 after it..... Ya know what 2016 as well but only because I want to see the franchise continue. And Just everything Bill Murray has ever been in will do. Off you go now...shhew!;)
Holy hell this movie caused so much shit being released. It was just too gross to seem like reality. It's power comes from us not knowing or just not thinking youth in impoverish places are the way they really are. Really opens your eyes

I will recommend 3 Tarantino movies that I perceive as perfect.
Reservoir Dogs - A+
I honestly didn't think much of this film when I first saw it. I thought it was very good, but not great like Pulp Fiction. I was young back then and just started learning about film, so I wasn't as experienced in studying it. Watched it again recently, and HOLY shit I can't believe I thought this movie was only "very good." This movie is like... perfect. Great acting, along with an intriguing "who done it" plot. If you've seen a lot of movies before then it might be easy to find out who the culprit is. Anyways, it contains a great soundtrack, great direction, and a fantastic script.
Pulp Fiction - A+
I don't need to explain myself for Pulp. Just see it.
Django Unchained - A+
The movie that got me more into cinema as a whole. Much like in Inglorious Basterds, Tarantino pulls a big twist on the whole slavery idea, and turns it into a highly stylized revenge story. The best way to describe Django is that it's very much like an epic comic book. It's got badass characters, badass action, and a badass story of revenge. BADASSSSS!
Just finished David Cross' new special on Netflix, David Cross: Making America Great Again. Saw it was rated 2 stars and it was David Cross being David Cross with controversial topics mentioned in the description. I don't know what people were expecting. This is the fourth stand-up special of his that I've seen and this one is just like the others. He even mentions this himself after a couple people walk out on him during the show. He always tells a few jokes per routine that aren't really jokes and are just utter shock value. I was never a fan of that, but again, I expected it. Some of it is really funny to me though. Then again, I'm not republican nor overly religious. Topics he regularly tackles.
I loved it. I thought it was better than his Bigger and Blackerer special.

Rec is an amazing horror movie.
It is! I especially love the first two.

Dead Man's Shoes (2004)
Anybody in the mood for some good ol' classic revenge? Then Dead Man's Shoes is for you!

Well this is coming from a Brit so obviously I'm going to recommend a British movie.
If you've watched the TV show, you'll know what this is but honestly I managed to have such a laugh at the smallest of things? It's great.
And if that isn't ypur taste then go watch every single Star Wars movie. Even if you've already seen them just watch them all.
Favorite movie of all time

Movie I
Movie II Soldiers of Sorrow
Movie III Encounters in Space
Matilda! I love that movie.
Who doesn't? hehe

Training Day. Denzel Washington's performance was just too good.
Holy hell this movie caused so much shit being released. It was just too gross to seem like reality. It's power comes from us not knowing or just not thinking youth in impoverish places are the way they really are. Really opens your eyes
Ethan Hawke had an underated turn in that as well. great flick!

Cant recommend Scott Pilgrim vs the world enough! WATCH IT
The invitation and hush. Both are spectacular films. Oh, and they're both on Netflix.
