I'm looking for some help finding a good film!
To me, there doesn't seem to be many movies that are true to life. I feel too many movies are about matters that we're supposed to 'think' are important, but yet that most people can't relate to. Whether it be historical events like WW2 or Vietnam, or subjects like mafia gangs, aliens, or racism. Even if these movies are good, there's too many like them, and suck films don't allow people to examine their own lives.
'Office Space' is one of the few examples of a movie like this that I can think of! Such a movie might be dismissed as being just a comedy, but I think there's more to learn from this kind of a movie than something like Men Black (which to be fair, I never really watched properly!).
It's no surprise a lot of the movies I like have a straight to DVD feel to them. Some of the movies that I liked that didn't fit the typical Hollywood storyline would be:
Shame (2011), Tao of Steve, Bitter Moon, and Matchstick Men
I don't want to get into a discussion about why Hollywood has become the way it is, just your thoughts on a movie you like that might fit my criteria! Don't just name it. Tell me why you like it.
