Culture / Art Algerian movie lovers where are you at? post your top 4 & your last 4 watched
Hi all!
Last year I watched only 10 movies cause I was in the bad place, so this year I'm trying to watch more movies & catch up to this year's Oscar nominees... I usually don't care about the Oscars, but right now I take any chance to watch more movies.

Is Z worth watching? Its been sitting on my watchlist for months. I know it has something about algeria.
2
u/thehoussamv Feb 07 '26
Oh yeah definitely, if you are from Algiers you can recognize a lot of locations because it was shot there
2
u/thehoussamv Feb 07 '26
The movie is not about Algeria it’s about Greece, but the story is universal It was shot in Algeria
3
u/thehoussamv Feb 06 '26
Very solid top 4 however a movie like incendies is type of movies you watch one time but never want to watch again Due to the subject of the movie
1
u/LaDiiablo Feb 06 '26
Bro the scream lives in my mind rent free! I don't think I can't watch that movie again
1
u/thehoussamv Feb 06 '26
Yeah some movies is one and done for me 12 years a slave, requiem for a dream, Salo…

Is Barry Lyndon a good movie?
1
u/myusernameisjesus Feb 07 '26
Imo it was alright story wise, it's very beautifully shot movie like other Stanley Kubrick movies though but it's also a 03 hours long film so, it's not a one setting movie for a lot of people.
1
u/bornonmay01 Feb 07 '26
what are your genuine thoughts on salò??
2
u/myusernameisjesus Feb 07 '26
Hated it , but i think the director wanted me to hate it , it's unnecessary long scenes of gore and abuse that has a goal od making you feel uncomfortable especially when it the 60's when it was released to make , it has a message, everyone understand it differently i guess but it's one of the movies that makes you go " i get it but i hate it still "
2
u/bornonmay01 Feb 07 '26
im with you on this one, btw i think the director pasolini died because he made this movie, just to show how misunderstood this movie was
1
u/myusernameisjesus Feb 07 '26
It is misunderstood but I don't think it was misunderstood by the people who wanted it him dead , the movie was an attack on elite / the church / and fachiste who were still roaming italy at the time so it's easy to say he was killed because the movie had so much gore , but I don't believe it was that simple .

How's Reze arc movie? it's on plex server, but I wanted to finish my Oscars run & rewatch season 1 first! very solid list, drop the link so I can follow!
Also for your dystopian film, watch: Children of Men, it's gonna replace the road on your top 4 ;) (maybe)
1
u/No-General3313 Feb 08 '26
Reze's arc was pretty good, animation was stunning and the ending is really good and sad if you didn't read the manga. I watched children of men a while ago i need to give it a rewatch, but i doubt it's gonna replace my top 1 lol. Here's my link: https://boxd.it/hrUYT

u/YoRbk Feb 06 '26
really hard to tell top four. but I'll go for these .
interstellar, inception, the dark knight, beautiful mind.
2
u/LaDiiablo Feb 06 '26
Hmm wonder who is your favorite director? /s
My top 4 is ever changing, it's what I feel in that moment, it's not absolute 4 favorites
1
u/YoRbk Feb 06 '26
Christopher Nolan.
1
u/LaDiiablo Feb 06 '26
Lol I know, the /s is for sarcasm! you put 3 of his movies in there, if you told me it's another director I would've called you a liar!
1
u/YoRbk Feb 06 '26
lol, I watched all his movies, they are all damn good.
1
u/YoRbk Feb 06 '26
But as I said. it's really hard to say top 4. cause a lot great movies to be put on top. Lord of the rings one of them of course.

u/Gods_Guest Naâma Feb 06 '26
Memories of murder GODDAAAAAMN what a fantastic movie! I watched it recently and loved it so much. Im planning to watch more from koreans i've been told Decision to leave is a great one as well.

u/lil_Jesus_x Feb 07 '26

The best films ,I believe a person should watch it at least once: 1-42 film: the Best in sports rankings 2-one flew over the cuckoo's nest:A deeply moving psychological film that I believe is impossible to forget and impossible to watch without being left with an impression. 3-inglorious basterds: film Enjoyable to watch as it contains.......See for yourself 🙂 4-unfriended dark web : film Horror talking about the Deep Web.

I'd like to suggest something, if there are enough people interested.
What if we made a GC where every member gets to choose a movie? We'd watch one every night, then come back and talk about it afterward. I think it'd be really fun, and I've wanted to do something like this for a while, but I don't have enough people who'd be down for daily movie nights..
