For me, anything based mostly on story or suspense is out, because I know what's going to happen. Even if they are some of my favorites. So usually it's for the visuals, music, or action.

Hardcore Henry I've probably watched the most. Such an absolutely wild action movie.

For visuals, I've watched What Dreams May Come(despite it being pretty heavy) and Tarsem Singh's "The Fall" probably five times each. The latter is hard to find, but definitely worth a watch if you come across it.



I've always loved What Dreams May Come and felt similarly about The Fountain. Do you have any other recommendations?


What dreams may come is sublime, and sad and beautiful. I've rewatched and remain charmed.

Try 2006's The Fall for another special film that surprises your heart and gives a visual treat.


Also really enjoyed What Dreams May Come despite its lack of success at the box office.

People are probably already aware of the fact, but it is based on a novel of the same name by Richard Matheson — who also wrote I Am Legend (which has had its own fair share of film adaptations).


I actually haven't seen that one, I'll check it out.

I liked the visuals in Life of Pi a lot. Also, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, for obvious reasons.
