I know the movement started in Italy about 80 years ago, and they made some amazing movies, but I was curious what we had here... Realistic, but great - otherwise, what's the point of a movie?  To me, John Cassavetes really started this.. His first movie "Shadows" was quite experimental, but his next two were the only ones in the studio system (but still underrated - A Child Is Waiting, Too Late Blues) but it probably wasn't until "Minne and Moskowitz", maybe even "Husbands" - and especially "A Woman Under The Influence".. "Fat City" starring Stacy Keach (one of the best performances ever) directed by John Huston. Vincent Gallo's "Buffalo '66" which was released in 1998 would fit this... |

[NOTE: upload quality isn't the greatest] That looks like the antithesis of what I'm looking for from films, unfortunately. Of course, realist drama is not my bag in general. |

Maybe I (or someone else) could give you some great recommendations? Thanks. I don't have any problem finding films, though. I like "genre films"--action, adventure, animation/family, comedies, horror, SciFi, thriller, especially bigger budget, Hollywood-style stuff. I've been watching films since the late 60s, and I've seen literally 20,000+ films over the years. |

I've been watching films since the late 60s, and I've seen literally 20,000+ films over the years. I've only seen about 1/4 of the amount, but since the first genre was action, I'd recommend you "Thief" starring James Caan, Michael Mann's first movie... It's thrilling, etc., but it's not the typical dumb action movie. |

As you might expect, though, I like "typical dumb action movies" a lot, too. ;-) That's basically what I want from films. |

You probably saw it, but if you want a comedy with smart and dumb, "Leningrad Cowboys Go America" might be one you'd like. |
