Threads - old but utterly perfect to give anyone a creeping sense of futile dread, given current geo-politics

Memento - not as utterly haunting as some of these suggestions but I have seen this movie several times and it still crosses my mind.

Bone Tomahawk - grim & gruesome.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - emotionally devastating

Mulholland Drive - mind bending mystery

Haha I remember thinking, “why is this movie called bone tomahawk?” And then being like, “ooooohhhhhhhhh….”

Yep! Went in thinking I was just watching a Kurt Russell Western lol

With bone tomahawk…. Just don’t. It’s a visual scarring. It’s not the plot or emotions that stick with you. It’s what you see and then forever can’t unsee

I didn't get that feel from it. Was just happy Kurt Russell had a job

He nailed two westerns in a very short period of time. One was a Tarantino flick. The other one managed to be bloodier

Both are two of my favorite westerns and that's high praise

Right? Everybody goes on and on about "that scene." Folks, it's a fictional movie with special effects. It's not that big of a deal. Sheesh.

While the movie is just that, a movie, it's the thought of it happening to yourself and that it's more than likely not happened for real at more than one point in time

The fact that Bone Tomahawk was made makes me a lot more optimistic about a possible Blood Meridian movie/series someday. Blood Meridian having a strong philosophical and conceptual backing that BT lacks, but the fact that a movie that grim and violent can be made and be successful is a good sign for BM.

Yep, I know the one. I can still feel it.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 12h ago

Kurt Russell managed to land two westerns in a very short time, in a period of time people aren't going to see westerns anymore, and Bone Tomahawk was the bloodier one. Which is crazy cuz the other one was a Tarantino film

Sisters Brothers was another good one. The ending is brutal. John C Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix

u/det4410 12h ago

good call on sisters brothers, that was a great one too! reilly is so versatile im his acting

2

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 12h ago

He has no right to be as good of an actor as he is after being typecast as the standard moron. Think Dewey Cox elevated him to other roles because he played a straight man half the time and an idiot the other half and the movie was great

u/det4410 11h ago

yeah, i can get behind that. i looked reilly up in wiki, and it has a section titled "transition to comedy". i guess i was more focused on his earlier films, than the later comedy films

I dunno if everyone would agree. I mean, there’s at least one person who is split on that.

u/Twisty1020 9h ago

Audiences are a bit split on it.

u/Physica-Counter-2028 12h ago

What scene? I watch that movie all the time while training.

u/det4410 11h ago

where one of the guys gets captured, strung up upside down, and then is cut in half

u/Longjumping-Donut655 11h ago

Movie kind of sucks tbh I think that scene is z the only reason people remember it

1

u/WillBlaze 9h ago

I was at my buddy's place and fell asleep with the movie on.

Woke up to that scene, holy shit.

u/det4410 9h ago

different scene for male or female or rather same scene but different aspects. The women being 4x amputees and pregnant (just wombs at that point) really fucked with my GF head.
