  • As the movies communities are either dead or seems to be enjoying down voting these kinda wuestions to hell and this question is well in the limits with this community .
  • Recommend movies that have a very good plot with no plotholes (this is very important for me as a movie watcher) , doesn't feel too dated ,has solid 3 dimensional character and arc , good direction and good acting ?
  • Some of mine are
  • Donnie darko
  • American psycho
  • Fight club
  • Seven
  • The prestige
  • Panic room
  • Zodiac
  • Taxi driver
  • So share your favourites and please no comedy,romance or jumpscare horrors. You can use my list to kinda get an idea of the specific type of movies i am asking for here . And also if you can give a short spoiler free TLDR and attach a trailer that would ve appreciated . Thanks in advance.

Start with animation for fun. Watch Grave of the Fireflies.

Now you are ready for Spirited Away or, my favorite, Porco Rosso. It's not the best. It's just my favorite.

Now Schindler's List. Then The Usual Suspects.

Pair Treasure Planet with Muppets Treasure Island. You deserve the break.

Maybe do The Matrix next. Pair with IP Man I guess.

Seriously half of the IMDB top 100 movies are from this time range. They aren't all going to fit you. They don't fit me. But they are worth watching for what they bring.
