It's a nice low key documentary about cats and their effect on the residents of Istanbul. It's really well shot, and it goes without saying cat owners would find it most interesting. You don't have to be a cat person to appreciate it, though. Yeah, it's a fascinating take on Istanbul urban life, with little slice of life stories here and there. Also, cats!

Slow burn western set in the Edwardian Era (1906), best if you avoid the imdb synopsis and any potential spoiler sources and go in blind.

A very beautiful movie, a lot of mystery regarding the main character and his journey, but lovely movie and cinematic.
It can be difficult to follow, but you will realize that everything is connected. I personally had to re-watch it, because the first time left me with questions.

Some people will find this boring, but its not IMO.

I recommend this movie to everyone, I think it really talks about what makes us human. Good performances, good score and the sci-fi world of the movie feels too real and not as far as it seems to our reality. It was really underappreciated when it came out, so if you haven't seen it now is the time to make you a favor!

This has a few caveats, you need to know what you're getting into.

This is a low-budget movie about homelessness in Winnipeg (Canada), in the 1990s. It's a "slice of life" movie, meaning that it's not about a tightly written story, but about trying to get a view into the lives of these characters.

It's about the bitter irony of being homeless and trying to sell a heater in order to survive while trying to not freeze.
It's not exciting, but it is my favourite holiday movie.

I recently watched The International (2009) by Tom Tykwer and absolutely loved the atmosphere of the movie. Dark, cold, stylish, great locations. Can you guys recommend something with a similar vibe?

Films about slavery usually focus on the victims themselves, which is understandable.

Instead, I'm looking for movies (or TV series) which depict abolitionists at the time of widespread and normalised human slavery in society, and the rise of the abolitionist movement. That is, I want to see anti-slavery activists and how they eventually overtook society and transformed from a minority into the majority of people agreeing with them.

I'm interested in showing abolitionists in general but specifically in showing the growth of the abolitionism movement from being a vocal minority seemingly hated by most people, to the majority view in society. (Truly it would have to cover hundreds of years to show this complete, slow transition of society turning against slavery.)

I believe animal rights activists today might benefit from seeing the perspectives of people campaigning to end human slavery despite most of society being against them, and be inspired by how they eventually convinced everyone to reject slavery, as animal rights activists attempt to convince everyone to reject animal exploitation in modern day.

Hi all, I’m currently the only mod here and I’ve sadly had to be less active given sizable real life responsibilities, so posting here to see if anyone is up for assisting in mod management?

If anyone’s interested just comment below and I can get things approved from there. Preferably say any experience you have if applicable.

A television network cynically exploits a deranged former anchor's ravings and revelations about the news media for its own profit, but finds that his message may be difficult to control.

Released in 1986, When the wind blows is a film adaptation of the picture novel of the same name, following the couple Hilda and Jim Bloggs. Presented in a multi-media format, when the winds blows follows the couple as they carry out their every day activities during the mits of nuclear threat, until the bombs finally fall. From their, the film turns to how the couple react and attempt to survive in a post-nuclear UK farmland. It is a truly sad story that both shows old world values and thoughts and the true potential of nuclear fallout on civilians.
