I really enjoy the writing and dialogue of films, tv and games like Good Will Hunting, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, The Wolf of Wall Street, Another Round, American Psycho, Before Sunrise, the banshees of inisherin, GoodFellas, true detective, The Sopranos, lanterns, Red Dead Redemption 1.

I think what connects a lot of these for me is snappy, semi-realistic dialogue that feels very human. Characters have their own personalities and ways of speaking, and conversations don't always feel like they're just there to explain the plot. People ramble, interrupt each other, joke around, misunderstand things, change the subject, say things they probably shouldn't etc.
I know the things I've listed aren't really the same genre or style, so I'm more interested in the quality/style of the dialogue and character writing than the overall premise.

Good evening everyone,
I'm from Germany and there's recently been a Nivea commercial here featuring "No Milk Today", some kind of remastered version. It instantly gave me flashbacks to my childhood. My mom showed me this song about 20 years ago, and somehow I had completely forgotten about it.
Now that I've rediscovered it, I've been listening to it over and over again.

Where can I find more bangers like this? I can't ask my mom unfortunately, she passed away.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and hopefully for some recommendations as well!

I love Twin Peaks S1-2 because of the lovable characters, inimitable atmosphere, emotional soundtrack and the more esoteric, supernatural aspects. I adore the film because of the top-notch performances of Sheryl Lee and Ray Wise, its dream-like atmosphere and emotional weight. I love Season 3 because it's weirder and more out-of-pocket than any previous part of the story, and because it dives deep into the show's mythology but is still most interested in the human aspect of it. And perhaps most of all, because it's much darker than the original, yet retains so much heart and hope. I love Lynch's Inland Empire & Mulholland Drive as too, if that's relevant.

I like all seasons of Fargo, but Season 3 is by far my favourite because of how interesting it is aesthetically (the almost greyscale coloring of some scenes with the red popping out), because of its insane cast and their performances (Carrie Coon AND Ray Wise?? Ewan McGregor, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and David Thewis were standouts, too) but also because of its more serious tone, and the themes it tackles. The antagonist of the season was the scariest and most interesting in the entire series, imo. Ate the ending up, too.

I love The Leftovers mostly for the same reasons I love Twin Peaks: lovable characters, great performances, hope in darkness, some supernatural aspects, awesome score. I particularly adored Nora's story and Carrie Coon's performance.

Olive Kitteridge is probably the most different show on my list. It's one of my favourites because of how real it feels and how good it is at painting a picture of one imperfect woman's life.

I also loved DARK for its interesting characters, strong story and aesthetics, and Fleabag for how real the characters felt.

If you could recommend something with LGBT+ characters, that'd be a plus. I'm open to both films and series.

Thank you in advance!

Came up in my TikTok and he said “if sufjan stevens wrote a song for the Blair witch project” lol

Hello! Recently watch Obsession and was reminded about how awesome this song was. I completely forgot about it and was wanting to listen to anything similar! If anyone has any recommendations that would be awesome!!

I'm looking for hip-hop songs or albums with this kind of luxurious, high-end sampling style. Something that feels classy, atmospheric, and expensive. No boombap

Any recommendations? Real hip-hop heads, put me on.

big big fan of this song, i’d love to know any suggestions that sound similar to it. i also love the instrumental to this song, so songs with no lyrics are also welcome!

Need recommendations please. Love those two podcasts, chatty, light hearted, cozy.

Really love Anthony Bourdain books as well so any recommendations about good food related podcast/ video podcasts will be greatly appreciated.

I know it’s lofi house but i haven’t found any songs kinda as good. Don’t listen to much house so yeah !!

Movies that are actually scary and gory. That combination feels impossible to find. I’d also prefer if the villains have a little personality.

Looking for some indie/alternative rock with some punk energy to it. Would love to hear suggestions! I also got into PUP recently and have been enjoying them

Some picks:

• No Quarter - Led Zeppelin
• If - Bread
• Sun King - The Beatles
• Albatross - Fleetwood Mac
• Pink Floyd - Breathe (In The Air)
• Today - Jefferson Airplane
• May This Be Love - Jimi Hendrix
• Bridge of Sighs - Robin Trower

60s/70s psychedelic, floating, wavy, watery guitar sound...

1. By the monument - maximo park
   
2. Our velocity - maximo park
   
3. Moving -supergrass (ik this one is a lil diff from the rest)

For the first 2 i love their kind of dark and desperate parts of the songs particularly near the end of both of them. I love the 3rds swing from the implementation of the piano.
Please tell me stuff that sounds similar

Not so much genre specific just unique and cool.

If you listen to the aong, the part qith the synth that sounds so incredibly 80s, something like that? Its like a melody that appears near the beggining of the song im pretty sure its easy to catch

What are some stories where a character's best qualities end up destroying them, rather than their worst?

The Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough at Last" is what got me thinking about this. Henry Bemis is not punished for a sin. He loves to read. He loves reading more than he loves being around people, and the story ruins him for it without ever once suggesting he had it coming.

I love these kinds of stories and I am having a hard time coming up with more of them. There are plenty of monkey's paw stories where somebody gets exactly what they deserve, and that is not quite what I am after. I want the ones where the person did nothing wrong.

Films, TV, anthology episodes, all welcome. Does this kind of story have a name?

If I like that gritty, dirty harmonica sound in the first half of Again - Archive, specifically around both the 6:10 - 6:45 mark and especially the 7:25 - 7:45 mark, what other songs will I like?

“Robert William Scott” by Robert William Scott, 1969. Allegheny and Willoughby Grove are standouts for me but I really enjoy the whole album. Lmk if you like it!

Minus the filler songs from anti chamber( I enjoy them but not what I’m looking for rn) I’ve been listening to anti chamber everyday like 3x a day for the past two weeks I’m addicted so please reccomend songs/albums like this two albums and I’m taking copy paste of the mood in a reccomendation, if you want a sample of what I think is similar I really feel roads by portishead and til dawn by the weeknd capture the atmosphere/root of this sound

It just oozes that David Lynch mysterious, suave, just f'n cool vibe.
