Which themes in movies are guaranteed to attract your attention?

scandal and debauchery. I’m also a sucker for military themes.

I like stories involving time travel.

Dystopian future.
Time travel.
First contact with aliens.

The kind of movies I watch and the things I write have a lot in common.

- Surrealism
– Man against himself
– Overcoming or succumbing to temptation
– Anything with unusual premise

^^You recommended and so I own a copy of Last Year at Marienband but haven’t finished seeing it yet.

@mazingerz88 I don’t blame you. Take your time with it. It’s a very complicated movie and I myself still struggle to understand it to this day.

Westerns and Historical epics.

Time Travel
Movies of the decades 20s-40s
WW2 era
psychological/emotional upheaval
Broadway

*Feel free to suggest any, I“d love some new ones to watch.

psychological/emotional upheaval

- The Fire Within (1963): a man contemplates suicide and sets out to meet his friends in a desperate attempt to prove to himself that life is still worth living.
– Detective Story (1951): a police detective who is stuck in his version of justice deals with his wife’s secret.
– Winter Light (1963): a priest struggles to regain his faith in God while dealing with people who are hurting and question the existence of God.
– Sorry, Wrong Number (1948): a woman confined in bed receives a phone call about a hit on her. This sets up a destructive chain of events involving everyone she knows.

@anniereborn I recently just discovered the films of director Sternberg and actress Marlene Dietrich from the 20s-30s. Only seen two but love it so much I bought the whole blu-ray collection. If you wish PM me for more details.

@mazingerz88 Actually I like movies about the 20s-40s. Not the ones made in that era.

@Mimishu1995 Thank you!

@Mimishu1995 That last film you mentioned sounds interesting, have to see if I can find that somewhere.
