hiii and thank you! my faves from the last 10 years are:
- the night comes for us
- monkey man
- polite society
- the villainess
- the northman
- revenge 2017
- upgrade
- jigarthanda
- everything everywhere all at once
- the raid 2
also you said no franchises but I do really love birds of prey, mad max fury road, matrix resurrections, prey, the spiderverse movies, snake eyes, and the 90 seconds of motorball in alita battle angel (sorry)

Anonymous asked:
saw your movie lists for iwtv. do you think you might have a similar one for mr. robot? i've also checked out your lboxd for the succession and it was really good.
ohhh that's a good idea thank you... I might just make a letterboxd list after I think about it more but off the top of my head the big ones are:
- FIGHT CLUB
- V for Vendetta
- Back to the Future 2
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 2011
- Memento
- American Psycho
- Bad Influence 1990
- The Double 2013
- The Double Life of Veronique
- Vive L'Amour
- Requiem for a Dream
- 8 1/2 (trust me!)
- eXistenZ
- The Matrix (particularly 1 & 4)
- The Panic In Needle Park (for rami's performance)
- Predestination
- Trainspotting
- Donnie Darko (not an actual recommendation I hate this movie)
There's also just a lot of individual episodes based on movies like Tyrell's episode of season 3 that's the shining, plus lots of references to other time travel movies like bill and ted and groundhog day. I think a lot about the cute Speed 1994 reference in 405 with the baby pram full of cans <3
+ if you haven't seen it I highly recommend the tv show Utopia (2013 UK series) which is my favourite show of all time and was definitely a big inspiration for Sam Esmail because it's referenced a LOT throughout the show.
also big shoutout to Person of Interest; it's kind of the show I thought Mr. Robot was going to be after that first scene in ron's coffee shop before things too a turn. It finished just as Mr. Robot began and like Mr. Robot it's about privacy and has an AMAZING build up into a stronger sci-fi.
Films this season of interview with the vampire has made me want to rewatch:
- the duke of burgundy
- the servant
- now, voyager
- samui song
- thirst 2009
- autumn sonata
- happy together
- kama sutra: a tale of love
- phantom thread
- corsage
- the deep blue sea (national theatre live)
- it's only the end of the world
- lost illusions
- and then we danced
