It's difficult to know what is less known these days as film recommendation posts happen a lot.

If you told us what you liked we could probably come up with recommendations that let you drill down a bit further.

However:

SF:

Timecrimes (2007) - if you like Primer or Triangle
About Time - makes me cry every time

Comedy - I'm rather partial to a kung-fu comedy:

Close Encounters of the Spooky Kind
Mr Vampire
Kung-fu Hustle

Shout out to Shaolin Soccer, the movie from Stephen Chow just before Kung-Fu Hustle. They're both very, very good.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Yep, love that too. There are quite a few Stephen Chow releases in the works somit might be Chow Time!

I'd also recommend God of Cookery, which is basically the same as Shaolin Soccer but about cooking.

For you, I recommend Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.

[–] dingus@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

That's a lot of nuts!

Cheers - got it on DVD, great film

I LOVE Primer and had no idea Triangle was a time loop movie. Ive had it on my list of movies to watch for so long that I've forgotten why and maybe I knew that when I added it... lol.

Definitely grabbing Timecrimes now, thanks.

Triangle is a great film. Definitely give it a watch. I loved Timecrimes - gave it 9/10.

I didn't see your Timecrimes rec before posting mine. It's so well done & I want everyone to see it!

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Definitely! The more recommendations the better!

[–] AngrilyEatingMuffins@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

It’s in my list, too!
