My personal Disney favourite is The Fox and the Hound. It's got stuff for kids (anthropomorphic animals and cute songs), but the main narrative is difficult to fully comprehend for a pre-teen.

Albert Pyun is one of those underappreciated b-movie scifi / cyberpunk / action directors, although to be fair he does have an underground cult following.

My personal favourite is Radioactive Dreams. This is an electric mix of post-apocalypse and a parody of 50's private eye motifs. It really is a unique experience. Fallout 1/2 were clearly inspired by Radioactive Dreams.

I will agree with @Emperor@feddit.uk, and recommend people avoid anything beyond Nemesis 2, perhaps even just the original Nemesis.

Some other Pyun movies that I would recommend:

  • Alien from L.A. (1998) - A nerdy (but very attractive) Kathey Ireland takes part in a adventure lightly based on Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
  • Knights (1995) - Includes a mix of many of the motifs typically found in Pyun movies. Post-apocalypse, cyborgs, action.

This is really good! Thanks!

Enjoy! We've been using them for more than a decade, the domain can change and quality can vary (unfortunately you can get buffering), but they have been very consistent overall all this time.

Watched this without reading any reviews/synopses or watching any trailers.

It's fun, I enjoyed it. I wouldn't really call it a horror. They do mix scifi/action/romance in a cool way. Relatively original idea as well. Anya Taylor-Joy was really good.

A mini-series to flesh out the lore would have worked well too.

Some parts about the setup felt a little bit unrealistic (in a distracting way, not being nit-picky), but it's a minor thing.

Check it out!

Looking forward to checking this out. It's been on my radar. The synopsis seems compelling.

Frank Klepacki is also known for the soundtrack for Red Alert 1/2 (Hell March), Tiberian Sun and Renegade.

If you don't have time, just check out the "Introduction" tune, it's only 2:40 but it gets really intense.

Have you tried rutracker? While it's unlikely to have regional documentaries, they do have more niche b-movies and some documentaries.

Haha, what a bunch of scumbags. They can"t even seed back when pirating.

We really need to round up all of Meta's executive directors, seize all their assets (every last cent) and require them to do mandatory two decade live-in community service as junior custodians (the lowest level custodians in the whole institution) at hospice centres or infectious disease hospitals. De-mining work and resource extraction junior support would also be good options for community service work.

Not for this of course, more like knowingly enabling genocide in Myanmar and so on.

The 90s Street Fighter movie is the bomb.

 

This is an older movie, but it's relatively unknown.

I can recommend it if you like The Thing, The Last Winter, The Dyatlov Pass Incident.

Their budget was clearly rather modest (lower production values than the above mentioned films), but I thought they managed to make do with what they had.
