I primarily like psychological and sci-fi films, movies like

Gattaca: mostly love the colors, cinematography, props, and general feel of the suspense of being caught.

Bladerunner: again I like the colors and the stellar cinematography, props and sets are really good.

The Machinist: similar to the movie Enemy, I consider this to be one of my favorite films, the score is really fascinating but I love the silence in these films, there’s also a darkness almost like dream like / night mare like feeling to them I can’t describe but I say recommending films similar to these films would be nice.

Suspiria: another one of my favorite films, the use of color is great, I like the slow progression and the relationship between characters. The acting is really good too. I have to give my respects to the original that came out in the 70s/80s as the sets are spectacular but the story is vastly different. I prefer the newer adaptation it feels like it compliments the time it was set in well.

Just a few of the films I want recommendations for thanks for helping

    Bladerunner 2049, imho a rare sequel that’s even better than the original

    Mulholland Drive

    Manhunter- there’s psychological stuff and it looks incredible.

    Redline

    Michael Clayton you might maybe like

    It’s a tv show but Scavenger’s Reign

    Maybe you’ll like Amarcord for the colors

    Nightcrawler

      Redline bangs in the club for sure

      Someone else mentioned Perfect Blue as an anime film that is very solid in the psychological category here.

      I also really like The Thing (1982) for a slight psychological thriller/horror pick

      Nausicaä is a gorgeous Studio Ghibli film with some post-apocalyptic sci-fi stylings

      Dredd is a very over-the-top dystopian sci-fi action film, gorgeous use of color at times, certainly not a very high brow pick, but I enjoy it a fair bit (CW: >!Imagined rape!<)

    I highly recommend Bacurau. It’s a Brazilian film. Very unique movie I’ve never seen anything like it before.

    I’d also recommend watching it without watching the trailer or even reading up on what the story’s about, it’ll hit better that way.

    Most of these aren’t really sci-fi, but are at least visually stunning:
    The Fall (2006) (directed by Tarsem Singh),
    2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubick, obvs),
    Hero (2002) (by Yimou Zhang),
    House of Flying Daggers (2004) (also by Yimou Zhang),
    Tears for Sale (2008) (from Serbia, by Uros Stojanovic)

        Oh, he was awesome in that. I actually only just watched Dr. Strangelove for the first time a few years ago but, damn, I love it!

        It’s such a subtle anti-US/NATO/Nazi movie too. Soviet Union seems extremely reasonable. Most libs don’t even notice, but that’s typical I guess.

          Yeah its very well done. Its also has this element of a false flag and deniability.

          It does show ussr as a country that has to contend with the rabid imperialist west. Even the bombers and the way they talk when entering ussr is perfect.
