*The Signal* (2014), starring Brenton Thwaits, Laurence Fishburne and Olivia Cooke. (Top recommendation) DON'T WATCH THE TRAILERS OR READ THE SYNOPSES AS THAT RUINS THE MOVIES! *Resolution* 2012 and *the Endless* 2017 both by Benson and Moorehead *Oxygen* starring Melanie Laurent was pretty good too. *Upgrade* 2018

I saw Predestination years ago and still think about it. It was so complex and deep without being complicated. And a story so full of twists that your jaw drops! Well-made!

@brigand13 Рік тому

If you enjoyed the film, I recommend checking out the original novella it's based on: Robert Heinlein's All You Zombies. In some ways, it's even better than the movie because it's actually even tighter with regard to the time travel.

It’s possibly the only film where the “deleted scenes” weren’t just binned or lost, they were actually burned. Not even a single frame was saved. The whole lot was gone in one fire.

@snuzum06 Рік тому

I remember after watching Event Horizon i said "Why have I never seen or heard of this movie?!?!" It's one of my favorites now along with Coherence. So many of my favorite movie tropes wrapped together. . .inept protagonist, slowly losing sanity and time travel/multi-universes.

"Brainstorm" (1983) gets missed in lists like this. Perhaps the plot is too simple to be considered daring, but it's very thought-provoking. It impressed me a lot and I think more people should see it.

Great list! Some I now need to track down and rewatch, others I had forgotten to watch at the time and fell off my radar.

I just watched predestination for the first time a few days ago and my mind is blown. The storytelling is so good and I was genuinely shocked watching it

@paultapner2769 Рік тому

Another Earth [2011] manages on a very low budget to tell a story that makes you think along with a good character drama. Coherence. Low budget story about parallel worlds pretty much filmed in one single room, but it works. Features Nicholas Brendon from Buffy as an actor who was a supporting player on a cult tv show that has just come to an end.

@Xethyl Рік тому

Coherence is fantastic.

eXistenZ was the best of those VR sci-fi horror movies of the '90s, but if you like that sort of thing, I'd also recommend Brainscan and The Thirteenth Floor.

Possessor is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. The first time I saw any of Brandon Cronenberg's work and was an instant fan. Extremely haunting and just so well done and thought provoking. Really makes you think about things differently. I watch the movie at least once a year around Halloween.

The Void, Time Trap and The Endless would be good additions. I worked at an art house theater in the '80s that showed Liquid Sky. Such a funky, inventive and campy movie. No one I know has seen it though. "Me and my rhythm b-o-o-o-xxxx!."

@TROOPERfarcry Рік тому

"Time Crimes" was definitely good, but it was frustrating because the only reason it moved forward was because the protagonist *refused* to understand the situation, despite the overwhelming evidence in his face -- to include *him* in his face. He literally didn't recognize himself through a pair of binoculars. Also, "Predestination" is one of the best -- if not *THE best* -- time-travel films. "Primer" would be a contender. You've gotta' watch "Primer" *two times* to get it all.. and that still may not be enough.
