Please give me some movies to watch to relieve my boredom
-
Help me compile a small list of movies to watch. Details inside. Currently, I'm on break from school (which is must needed) and I have nothing to do. I wish to spend my time and rekindle my love for film and cinematography. I want to make a small list of movies to watch while I am on my break, which is basically your top ten that is relevant to my request. This is also for a group of female friends that are able to enjoy the films that I do. Simply put, they won't be disgusted by your suggestions. However, I do ask that not all of your films have a plot based entirely on physical torture. We're not disturbed by it, we're just tired of the genre and lose interest in it quickly. We prefer movies that are similar in genre to: The Town Saw Requiem for a Dream V for Vendetta I'm gonna help thin out the herd by saying that we also prefer movies that don't involve a killer that is unstoppable or near invincible (like Jason Voorhees or some ghost). It's too unrealistic for us. A criminal that cunningly plans his crime is more our taste. Serial killer or assassination movies also fall into our preferred category, like Phone Booth and M (German classic). We also like movies like Taken. Post-apocalyptic/dystopian movies are great as well, especially those similar to the Book of Eli or I Am Legend. In these type of movies, sci-fi is welcome. An example that we enjoyed would be A.I., Artificial Intelligence or the Sixth Element. Zombie movies are preferred as well. We've watched a variety of amazing zombie movies, including the original and remake of Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later, and Dead Snow. Zombieland probably falls under the lower end of our zombie list, because the humor was too parodical in nature. Walking Dead is perfect for showing our expectations for a realistic zombie movie. Don't be scared by our cold exterior, we also like to laugh from time to time. Most comedies are welcome, with romantic comedies being on the lower end of the scale (mainly because the ones we watched were bad). We enjoyed Robin Hood Men in Tights, and we also like dark humor. We cry too, so depressing romances are okay (as long as the depressing is emphasized). We love movies that can make us doubt our purpose. TIA.

Answer:
Watch "Tucker and Dale Versus Evil". STOP! DO NOT GOOGLE THAT! The film is best enjoyed if you watch it with your pre-existing "hillbilly horror movie" expectations intact.

Hard Candy and Teeth seem to fit though Hard Candy does have a lot of physical torture.

Manhunter, Heat, Collateral and Miami Vice all seem to fit the bill, too, all directed by Michael Mann.

Have you watched old John Woo movies, specifically Hard Boiled? What about Oldboy? Three Kings and The Limey, if you've got some 1999 gaps to fill. The Usual Suspects if you haven't seen it. Did you see the recent Casino Royale remake?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123755/ is like nothing else I've ever seen. But ignore the http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285492/. And I'm surprised no one else has mentioned http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110632/, which is pure genius, IMO.

The Vanishing (the 1988 Dutch version, NOT the American remake with Kiefer Sutherland, which changed the ending). Near Dark (an early Katheryn Bigelow vampire movie. Might suffer a bit from 'ha ha 80s fashion', but it's good and has a lot of dark humor). Bigelow's Strange Days might also fit your bill. Pitch Black (don't let Vin Diesel scare you off-- it's atmospheric and scary fun). If you're open to older black and white, Hitchcock all about the clever villains and suspenseful plots. Strangers on a Train has a wonderfully creepy performance by Robert Walker. Peeping Tom (1960) is notorious for having 'ruined' the director's (Michael Powell) career. It's about a voyeuristic serial killer.
