Cosy night in and nothing interesting on TV?
Below are 10 movies I watched recently which left a lasting impression. Worth checking them out if they went under your radar so far!
The order is random
Interstellar
Drama / Sci-Fi / Action / Long
A masterpiece which received some attention but far not enough for its excellence. A must watch, not only for Sci-Fi fans!
Unbreakable
Superhero / Thriller
A very unusual take on the super hero theme which sticks out in an overly saturated market. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan who made The sixth sense
Split
Thriller / Horror
Also directed M. Night Shyamalan. I can't really say a lot about this one without spoiling things. It might be worth watch Unbreakable first to get the one or other reference.
Intouchables
Drama / Comedy
A moving french story about a disabled aristocrat and his unusual caregiver. Not available with English dubs, but you get used to the subtitles and maybe you can learn a bit French on the way ;)
Death at a Funeral
Comedy / Black Humor
WATCH THE ENGLISH ORIGINAL FROM 2007. The film his a hilarious British humor unlike the (very bad) Hollywood remake.
Marley and Me
Drama / Life / Comedy
A story about a young couple and their dog. Seems at first bland and unoriginal but goes much deeper by addressing fears and struggles most of us faced or will face at some point.
Beavis and Butthead do America
Comedy / Adult Humor
Beavis and Butthead never disapoint when you can get warm with that type of humor.
Identity
Horror / Thriller
A well written story about a few apparently strangers at a hostel who get cut off from the outside world due to a heavy storm.
Memento
Action / Thriller
A private investigator who has a rare condition where his memory regularly resets and so he has to write himself notes for the next day.
City of God
Drama / Gangster
Based on a true story. An interesting and tense insight into the drug wars in the 60s and 70s in Rio de Janeiro. No English dubs available, but reading the subtitles is worth the bit of extra effort.
Let me know if I helped you finding a good film you missed so far or feel free to share more awesome movies in the comments!
