Realistic Movies?

Xier0 · Jul 17, 2014

I'm always disappointed by movies that have "fairy tale" endings and are resolved for mass appeal, because it really takes away from the immersive experience. Does anyone have suggestions for movies to watch that have believable storylines/resolutions/characters, etc?

City of God
Under the Skin
Gladiator
Drive

- Watch those first.

I don't necessarily mean realistic in that way, but realistic in the way Game of Thrones is realistic. Obviously, the whole thing is set in a fantasy world, but it is realistic in the sense that the main characters aren't immortal, and it keeps things unexpected. I like movies that follow storylines similar to classic novels, not cookie cutter Hollywood bullshit where everything is so damn predictable.

Gladiator is a great movie (just a tiny bit fairytale), but yeah if you are looking at TV Shows Game of Thrones, and Suits are two great shows.

I watched "Under The Skin" yesterday.

Strangest movie I have ever seen. If it was actually a good movie, the entire plot line went COMPLETELY over my head.

Ye, it's quite artsy. You need to be enveloped in the movie to thoroughly enjoy it.

Watch City of God, far better.
