It's difficult to know what is less known these days as film recommendation posts happen a lot.

If you told us what you liked we could probably come up with recommendations that let you drill down a bit further.

However:

SF:

  • Timecrimes (2007) - if you like Primer or Triangle
  • About Time - makes me cry every time

Comedy - I'm rather partial to a kung-fu comedy:

  • Close Encounters of the Spooky Kind
  • Mr Vampire
  • Kung-fu Hustle

For you, I recommend Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.

Cheers - got it on DVD, great film

That's a lot of nuts!

Shout out to Shaolin Soccer, the movie from Stephen Chow just before Kung-Fu Hustle. They're both very, very good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yep, love that too. There are quite a few Stephen Chow releases in the works somit might be Chow Time!

I'd also recommend God of Cookery, which is basically the same as Shaolin Soccer but about cooking.

I didn't see your Timecrimes rec before posting mine. It's so well done & I want everyone to see it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Definitely! The more recommendations the better!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

It’s in my list, too!

I LOVE Primer and had no idea Triangle was a time loop movie. Ive had it on my list of movies to watch for so long that I've forgotten why and maybe I knew that when I added it... lol.

Definitely grabbing Timecrimes now, thanks.

Triangle is a great film. Definitely give it a watch. I loved Timecrimes - gave it 9/10.
