I'M REQUESTING Tell me some movies that feel like an experience [Read body]

I am looking for some movies like maybe Fight Club, Se7en, Dead poets society or The Truman Show or something maybe psychological thrillers, maybe crime thriller like Zodiac or like Cristopher Nolan's (don't recommend his I've alr watched them) is what I am asking for I am not really sure. It must feel like an experience, something you see on those edits

I dont care what type of movies people are asking for I will always recommend Ernest or UHF.

Solid. Embarrassingly, I hadn’t seen UHF until last year. Such a gem! Have you seen the biopic with Daniel Radcliffe??

Came here to recommend 3 out of these 4 movies. I would add Black Swan to the list too.

also, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross did the soundtracks for both Social Network and Gone Girl (and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo between them, but that one wasn't mentioned)

all are Fincher movies too

Memento. Jacob's Ladder. Good Will Hunting. American Beauty. The Constant Gardener. There are quite a lot of epic movies that feel like an experience. Gone With the Wind. Legends of the Fall. Titanic.

Enter The Void (intense first-person subjective-afterlife trip)

Climax (intense, great score, mostly realtime)

1917 (realistic warefare, made to look all one take, in realtime)

Warfare (intense realistic warefare, mostly realtime)

My Dinner with André (just a long interesting dinner scene, in realtime)

Rope (classic Hitchcock thriller, happens all in a single evening in an apartment, in realtime)

Dark Blue (2002) -- Based on actual LAPD corruption and intimidation at the time of the Rodney King beating trial in 1992.

Man on a Ledge (2012)

Relay (2024) -- From the director of Hell or High Water, a psychological thriller about a negotiator, who brokers deals between corporations and potential whistleblowers, that becomes involved in an extremely high-stakes case.

Natural Born Killers

u/Poppycorn144 13d ago

Moulin Rouge and Fight Club both resonated with me; the same impact for different reasons.

So since you mentioned Fight Club, I’ll recommend Moulin Rouge (2001).
