Both movies consist of scenes that can be watched independently of the rest of the film. There's a hotel in Berlin that has TBL on a dedicated channel on repeat 24 hours. You can turn it on and watch a few scenes at any point, and it makes sense. I think Bueller would work the same way.

I just watched Under the Silver Lake and it is a wild neo noir. Personally I love Chinatown and Nightcrawler , any movies set in Los Angeles where the setting is another character in the movie. This movie had a cryptographer listed in the credits and with the nature of the movie there is an active sub reddit with crazy fan theories. I think movies that have legs are great. Another that comes to mind is Primer, the fan theories on that one make you want to keep rewatching. I am going to rewatch Under the Silver Lake again and jump into the rabbit hole. It's on Netflix.

@endo I showed that one to my 5yo daughter. I’d forgotten the cursing (which I only care about because I don’t want my kid to “corrupt” other, more puritanical parents’ spawn) but, as expected, she loved it.
-
@mclaincausey well done, all my children watched it with me when they were young and they loved it. It emphasizes freedom and joy.
-
@endo the fact that people in church thought it was a bad influence when I was young supports this truth. I remember there was also a pamphlet decrying the Dead Kennedys because they wanted to “Kill the Poor.”
whoosh

@mclaincausey Irony is obviously not the strongest trait of many churchgoers.

@Matt I went to see it the other night. Still not managed to process that film

Got pretty psyched when i saw this pop up. Lots of names from the real car scene. Made by and starring the dude who played Han from the fast and furious franchise, not as part of the franchise, but as a indie/grassroots love letter to the scene that they started.

Heard a lot about it but only saw it for the first time recently. You have to cut it some slack given that it came out in 1988; some of the dialogue might seem a bit wooden by today’s standards. Above all, though, it’s superbly shot and features a gripping story—told in an unusual way, right down to the ending. I’ve heard the 1993 US remake is crap. But if you enjoy watching older films that have aged well and haven’t seen this one yet, I highly recommend it.

@WhiskeySandwich looking forward to this. he is a true car enthusiast.
i have a mercury comet, which is a ford maverick in disguise. Han drove a mav in fast 5, but that car never got the role it deserved. movie is set in brazil, and the maverick is a huge icon down there. -
@tody oh heck yeah! crazy to me that they turned the Maverick into a pick-up crossover thing... They've been taking liberties with old classic car names lately across a lot of brands. IDK why car companies cant just make a new name for their new cars....

@WhiskeySandwich don't get me started on this... ford resurrected the Capri name for an EV over here. built on a VW platform, with zero resemblance to the classic.
