honestly the plot of Aporia is kinda similar to Steins;Gate regarding they dont travel to the past, but they use a machine that can send SMS to the past, which results in the events of the present being altered, and sending more SMS to the past to correct the new timeline altering more events and so on.

Aniara is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen and I watch it every few months.

LOL There are quite far from being "indie" scifi. They have quite big budgets lol. Maybe try something like "Ink", or "Memento" as indie stuff....

Walken is incredible in the movie homeboy with mickey Rourke.

6:28 yeah, he was in ‘Jingle all the way’, and was seen to be perfectly suitable to sell toys as that film proved. Not the right choice for this film based on the depth required, but not his fault at all… I blame George Lucas. Ps- I wrote this comment at this point in this video without even watching the rest!

I know that foreigners won'y understand the nuances but newton is a bit of a propaganda film. Firstly, the CRPF forces members would never behave in an uncouth manner as shown in the film. And secondly, maoists are genuinely a huge terrifying network of insurgents spanning across half of india. Maoists have murdered countless innocent people and also army members. They were shown as just being a fear mongering propaganda created by the indian govt, but they are actually dangerous and not to be messed with.

Thank you for your recommendations. I can recommend the movie: PROSPECT

Watch sonchiriaiya one of underrated gems of india. this movie hits you so hard.

1:40: What kind of psycho invents time travel AS A GUN!? 😨 3:02: Please say something about your facial hair! Got dayum! 😱 3:30: This one looks decent. 14:00: Humanity develops AI in order to catch pedos... Reflect on that one Does look good though. 15:50: 😆

You need to watch Malayalam movies. They make the best movies in India. Nothing over the top, just pure kino. 2024 has been especially good for Malayalam cinema to the extent that a Malayalam movie is one of the frontrunners for the Oscars this year - All We Imagine As Light. Since it's only the 4th largest film industry in India, it does not get much pan-India attention but quality wise Malayalam film industry is the best in the country.

1. Sardar Udham 2. Udaan 3. Piku 4. Karwaan 5. Pink 6. Bhavesh Joshi Superhero

One correction: Masaan didn't lead to a resurgence of grounded movies in India. Movies like Masaan have existed in India for decades, going back to the 50s, most of them with a larger impact than Masaan. If anything, Masaan, Lootera, Titli came at the tail end of the last such wave in Hindi cinema.

i was lucky enough to see Eega with a crowd of people at a theater. it was one of the best theater going experiences that i had ever had. great film!

WTF, No spoilers and then you spoil the whole movie! 🤦🫤

I think my favorite scifi movie ever is Primer (2004). It's cheaply made, with unknown actors, and no cgi, but it stands among the big ones like interstellar in my list. Truly a great movie

You mean he failed Star Wars. What a terrible character and actor.

wow perfectly done video all are great recommendations

Brandon Do Watch: "Mother India" (1957)

Guerilla rebels. Not terrorists. Educate yourself. Seems you learned nothing from the film.

BRANDON HARDESTY?! OMG! I haven’t seen you since the GG parodies! I miss those since GG made you take them down😭 (okay, back to talking about child actors 😄😅)

Honorary mentions : Kill ( gory action packed thriller ) , ship of theseus ( fantastic thought provoking drama ) , raman raghav 2.0 ( story about an infamous serial killer) , gangs of wasseypur ( 2 part revenge epic ) , ugly ( story about a missing girl and a web of crazy characters) , kantara ( part supernatural thriller , part cultural exploration, great movie)

I rarely leave comments but this is a fantastic list! I can't wait to watch them

I would have missed out on the movie Vesper without this random KZbin video dropping into my feed. I will be looking at more of your videos as its proof you know quality! Cheers!

8:45 Paul Williams also wrote the songs for my favourite musical film, Bugsy Malone (1976). It's generally a more well known and popular film in the UK, but I have come across a number of Americans online who are familiar with it. It's an absolutely fantastic movie btw! Would highly recommend if you haven't seen it.

If you like Newton, I'd recommend Article 15, another socio-political drama starring another Indian indie darling Ayushmann Khurana. It hits the same beats of an ignorant government officer oblivious to real life situation but honestly does their best to make a change, despite the viewers knowing its a moot point considering India's situation.

Vesper is excellent!!

NO SPOLERS --- and then you proceed to tell WAY too much about at least the first two movies ... you lost me. GZ.

Honestly I cannot stand musicals of any sort so Indian movies are pretty much out for me.

A few years back (okay maybe the 00s) there was a blockbuster Indian movie making the rounds called Enthiran, it was a dark sci-fi with a lot of visual effects, and it was the most expensive Indian movie at the time.

Thanks for these recommendations!

It is a bit of an oldie, but 'The Navigator' (1988, Australia and NZ) blew my mind. A medieval tale involving time travel somehow. A dark, strange journey :) Thanks for the vid

I used to put on a lot of Bollywood stuff when I couldn't sleep back in the day, but I couldn't for the life of me tell you what any of those films were called. There's been a lot of great stuff coming out of India for ages though, & it's honestly hard to go wrong with anything that's achieved an international release. My recommendation, certainly if you enjoyed RRR, is the Dhoom trilogy (but especially the first two; the pacing is a little weird on the third). They're not quite as over the top & they're heist films at heart, but they're just joyfully silly in a similar way to The Fast & The Furious if that took itself a lot less seriously. I'm not sure they'd hold up to detailed analysis, but for something to feed your eyes & your adrenal glands, they'll do a very good job.

this is one of the best film videos i have seen in like ever - i love that i'm actually being introduced to new films, not the same 'most popular' films out there. i've subbed. i can't wait to see your other videos. these films look absolutely fantastic. i feel so lucky to have stumbled onto your channel. what an absolute gem of a channel you are! thank you for this!! you've saved me hours and probably days of digging for unique, intelligent and interesting films to watch.

Iceman

Adding everything here to my list (been meaning to watch Tumbbad)! A few Tamil movies I'd recommend: 1. Super Deluxe: An anthology film spanning multiple storylines (and genres!) that eventually converge. 2. Kaithi A convict who was just freed and on his way to see his family gets embroiled in a job to help the police. 3. Otha Seruppu A chamber piece, where a murder suspect explains his methods to the police. 4. Maharaja The less said about this one the better (don't want to risk spoiling any twists) - a barber seeks vengeance after his home is burglarized, telling the police his "lakshmi", a garbage can, has been taken. I'm Tamil myself, but grew up on Hollywood films, and only just started reconnecting with my Tamil roots through cinema. =)

You HAVE TO watch Devdas 🙂‍↕️

This is a really solid list. A few more I'd recommend (off the top of my head): 1) Trapped (starring Rajkummar Rao) 2) Gangs of Wasseypur 1 & 2 (it's actually one big 5+ hour revenge epic split into 2 movies) 3) Udaan 4) Queen 5) Kahaani

October (2018) Dangal (2016) Trapped (2017) Some indian films i have seen

20:00 he is not Tamil filmmaker he is telugu filmmaker.

I was hoping you'd mention RRR. It's the most Movie I can imagine being packed into a single "movie".

9:32

noting seeing STALKER in the intro - still need to watch that one, love the game series and lore that follows it.

The only one I've seen is The Artifice Girl, and I agree with you, it's incredible. It's amazing what someone can do with an intelligent, well-informed script, even without much in terms of budget and special effects.

An absolute gem of the 80s is Enemy Mine

I had low expectations because of the typical click bait title, but glad I watched...terrific vid.

I was really surprised how good Annihilation (2018) was. Available in UK on Netflix.

Spielberg is so professional. That's why he is one of the renowned directors of all time.

Obadiah Hakeswill….that’s not a man….take it away

vesper is my fav
