Glad I stick to the game and don’t watch the anime. I’ve avoided this kind of stress by the sound of it. I’ll need to let my partner know in case he decides to try this, he’s on the original series. I think a friend of mine is on 5d.

I don’t like gangster movies, but I love Oscar and enjoy Analyze This, Analyze That and Mafia.

I don’t like martial arts movies but I love Kung Pow (where the heckin feck is my sequel dag nabbit!?)

I don’t like action movies unless they’re from the 90s: Demolition Man, The Fifth Element, Last Action Hero, Starship Troopers. There are a few exceptions but generally I just find action movies too difficult to watch.

I don’t like westerns but I like Back to the Future Part III and Carry on Cowboy.

It would need to have been someone else willing to train for 2 years in ballet like Dakota did. I would think that would narrow down the choices considerably. There's some interesting information on the IMDB trivia page. Isabelle Fuhrman and Natalie Portman were originally considered. This was when David Gordon Green was attached to direct.

Considering it was one of three movies that she was in that were released in 2018, she may have been too busy for a bigger role. Or maybe she got the role she wanted? Not everyone wants a lead role.

I haven't seen The King of Comedy, but I do really like Buffalo '66. It's a strange movie, kind of artsy/pretentious, but Christina Ricci (who was one of my heroes growing up) is great in it, and the movie reunites her with Anjelica Huston, which is really cool.
I think the movie could be paired with Boogie Nights, so that might give you a rough idea of the feel of it.

I like Wolf Creek, but I personally prefer the sequel. A lot of dark Aussie humour really comes out in that. There's also:

• 100 Bloody Acres (2012)
• Alexandra's Project (2003)
• Lake Mungo (2008)
• The Loved Ones (2009)
• Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)
• The Reef (2010)
• Roadgames (1981)
• The Tunnel (2011)

There are a couple I still haven't seen that are on my watchlist: Dead Calm (1989) and Hounds of Love (2016).

There's a really good Aussie horror YouTuber, which is where I got a lot of recs from if you want to check her out.

I love Priscilla! I've been watching it since I was a kid. Until recently, when I started watching Aussie horror, that and Muriel's Wedding were the only two Oz movies I'd seen. It's super nostalgic for me.

That is definitely something I need in my life!

That whole scene where she's just following him and watching him through the window while he's amusing himself. When she brought out that massive camera, I nearly wet myself.

Sorry if that was a bit too graphic...

"Oh, multipack!"

Because I love the movie, I was a bit dubious about watching the series when I found out it had a new cast and a new location. When I finally got to it, I absolutely loved it. It retained the same level of humour as the film and was just as funny. I've enjoyed each season and am eagerly awaiting season 5.

Also, Nadja is the best character. She's so relatable. Except for the whole immortal vampire part.

Try r/horror. You’ll get a lot of good recs there, including a tonne of obscure gems.

200 Cigarettes (1999). All star cast (including Paul Rudd and Christina Ricci) set in the 80s on New Years Eve. Underrated and hilarious.
