I usually rely on IMDB scores to choose what movies to watch. Fortunately I watched "Enemy" and was blown away how good this movie is.
I am surprised this one has a 6.8 score currently, so I wonder what other awesome movies I am missing or overlooking because of a low score.
Anybody can point me other movies that are so good like this and have an score below 7?
Of course it's all a matter of taste, but for me:
Very Bad Things
Kiss or Kill (not Kiss AND Kill!!)
The Ruins
Fanboys
The Men Who Stare At Goats
The Battery
The Devil's Rejects
Horns
Wrong
The Homesman
Sweetwater
5150 Rue des Ormes
Heartless
^very different genres, I know, but if you like Enemy, I could image that you might also like some of them.
High Tension and Session 9 which both oddly enough happen to have a lot of similarities to this movie.
Since we're talking about "masterpieces" and not simply average-to-good movies, here are my picks (IMDb rating 7 and below):
All is Lost (2013)
The Babadook (2014)
The Host (2006)
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) -it is a masterpiece from the eyes of a child-
Pulcinella (1973)
Under The Skin (2014)
EDIT: Since you liked Enemy, I STRONGLY suggest you watch David Lynch's Mulholland Drive (2001), which contains similar puzzling techniques, symbolism and hidden thematology.
"Masterpiece."
shareare u *beep* serious??? I gave this a 3 and force myself to watch till the end. It's very simple to understand, yet some stupid people dont get it.. well
"The double" is way better than this "thing". A simple idea that could be a short metrage and well should be a short 10 minutes movies, was turned into this soooo long boring film.. what a waste of tax payer money.. So ashame
If you thought it was so simple, could you explain to us who didn't?
shareSo I heard someone on this board liked RoboCop (2014). Who was it?
shareSome of my personal favorite movies have scores of 7 or lower. These are the ones I rated 8 or 9:
Triangle (2009)
Primer
The Cabin in the Woods
Enemy
The Babadook
The Book of Eli (not sure about this one; I have yet to re-watch it)
As been said before it's all a matter of taste,
these are movies which i consider masterpieces (or at least really good movies) which would deserve a higher rating on IMDB (Only horror-related genre)
