Some straight classics you may have seen already:
The Long Goodbye
The Conversation
Sweet Smell of Success
The Spy Who Came In From The Cold
Paths of Glory
A bunch of David Cronenberg:
The Dead Zone (based on Stephen King novel, Christopher Walken, looks very 80's but surprisingly atmospheric)
Cosmopolis - based on a Don Delillo novel, follows character in limousine - kind of art-y
Dead Ringers - weird weird psychodrama about twin gynecologists
Definite recommendations:
House of Games - David Mamet - a psychiatrist falls in with a bunch of card sharks to study their psychology
Manchester By The Sea - intense, wrenching Boston-area drama , maybe too depressing
Meek's Cutoff - kind of an indie western
The Act of Killing / The Look of Silence - have only watched the first of the two, it's.. really disturbing, but it's jumped into like, top 5-10 documentaries of all time - the premise is just staggering
Thank you very much for this. I've watched The Conversation, The Dead Zone, Dead Ringers and Manchester by the Sea, all really good. The rest is not available on Prime Canada (at least during the one-month trial) nor on Netflix Canada.
