I am soliciting your movie recommendations. I'm especially interested
in anything from the last 25 years. You should limit your suggestions
to character-fueled dramas or comedy-dramas; I'm not interested in
anything too genre-specific (animated, sci-fi, mafia/gangster,
fantasy, horror, musical). Mostly I want to discover films that are
small, potentially obscure/indie—the anti-Inception. Your choices
should be absorbing, moving and well-written, without a lot of
cliches. If you know of a thriller, romance drama or tearjerker, I
like those too.
To give you an idea of some of the movies I've really enjoyed during
this time period:
Frozen River, The Visitor, SherryBaby, Juno, Fargo, Love and Death on
Long Island, Please Give, Before Sunrise, Thirteen, Nobody's Fool,
City Island, Requiem for a Dream, Lost in Translation, Happiness,
Sideways, Hard Candy, An Education.
Oh, and I'm definitely not into anything too quirky; I didn't enjoy
Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums, Paper Heart, Donnie Darko, et al., the way
others did.
Thanks!
