10 movies to watch since you love movies so much

Turbo Kid (2015)

"In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a comic book fan dons the persona of his favourite hero to save his enthusiastic friend and fight a tyrannical overlord."

This movie is just a pleasant surprise. Surprisingly violent. Surprisingly fun. Surprisingly nostalgic.

Grabbers (2012)

"When an island off the coast of Ireland is invaded by bloodsucking aliens, the heroes discover that getting drunk is the only way to survive."

The monster is great, the premise is great, the comedy is great.

Mommy (2014)

"A widowed single mother, raising her violent son alone, finds new hope when a mysterious neighbor inserts herself into their household."

A beautifully heartbreaking movie from my native land. Worth the subtitles or taking a French class.

Cooties (2014)

"A mysterious virus hits an isolated elementary school, transforming the kids into a feral swarm of mass savages. An unlikely hero must lead a motley band of teachers in the fight of their lives."

Watch this to have a good time and you will. Don't overthink it and enjoy the ride.

Joe (2013)

"An ex-con, who is the unlikeliest of role models, meets a 15-year-old boy and is faced with the choice of redemption or ruin."

Bare with me on this one... Nicolas Cage gives a subtle and nuanced performance in this under-appreciated film. Trust me.

Killing Them Softly (2012)

"Jackie Cogan is an enforcer hired to restore order after three dumb guys rob a Mob protected card game, causing the local criminal economy to collapse."

To me, a similar viewing experience to John Wick. A surprisingly thoughtful and well directed little gem. (Edit: Ok I'm getting a lot of heat for the John Wick comparison, and rightfully so. These movies are NOT similar, however I found these movies to have a somewat similar premise and have more depth than could be anticipated. Both movies bring you into a world of crime in a way not really previously explored in movies I have seen. I'm sorry I was misleading, forgive me guys.)

Little Children (2006)

"The lives of two lovelorn spouses from separate marriages, a registered sex offender, and a disgraced ex-police officer intersect as they struggle to resist their vulnerabilities and temptations in suburban Connecticut."

I love violent and terrifying movies, and have seen a lot of them, however the most disturbing/terrifying movie scene I have ever watched came from Little Children. No jump scare or torture scene can compete with the psychological horror of realizing you fear yourself.

Maggie (2015)

"A teenage girl in the Midwest becomes infected by an outbreak of a disease that slowly turns the infected into cannibalistic zombies. During her transformation, her loving father stays by her side."

I know I'm pushing it, first telling you Nick Cage gave a great performance, now telling you Arnie really stepped out of his comfort zone and its worth a watch. Just trust me guys.

Short Term 12 (2013)

"A 20-something supervising staff member of a residential treatment facility navigates the troubled waters of that world alongside her co-worker and longtime boyfriend."

Easily one of my favorite movies of the last decade. If you enjoy character studies, this movie is for you. I hope to see a lot more from this movie's leads.

Stake Land (2010)

"Martin was a normal teenage boy before the country collapsed in an empty pit of economic and political disaster. A vampire epidemic has swept across what is left of the nation's abandoned towns and cities, and it's up to Mister, a death dealing, rogue vampire hunter, to get Martin safely north to Canada, the continent's New Eden."

More of a survival movie than a classic vampire flick. The pace and acting are great. You should give this a try if you've run out of zombie movies to watch.
