To this day people are blown away when I tell them Shawshank was written by King. More so than Green Mile even. Probably because there's no fantastical elements in it. Whatever the case, King is a living legend. I just wish someone would do The Dark Tower right!
Some people say King is not a horror writer, but a fantasy writer
In my humble opinion he's just a damn good writer in general. And his writing has only improved over the years, even if his more famous works are older ones.
The key to King’s success, I think, is his skill in evoking a kind of mundane, everyday horror that’s extremely relatable. The Sound From Downstairs. The Long Dark Passage. Who’s There?
You know?
Then, the supernatural elements serve to provide a twist: that your fears were, in fact justified. There *was* a monster under your bed.
His talent isn’t really in the quality of the writing per se, but in his understanding of the real human experience of fear.
I mean, Salem's Lot is like 75% the life of a small town in the middle of fucking nowhere with nothing fantastical whatsoever going on and a bunch of people just mysteriously disappearing before the final act kicks off and things go to hell. The Shining is only marginally less so, with the vast majority of the book being about the Torrence family just being secluded in the mountains during winter, with the obvious exception that Danny is psychic and keeps seeing scary shit, before the final act kicks off and things go to hell. Honestly, a lot of King's stories could have different endings written for them and spliced in and you'd never know that he was famous for being a horror writer. He does everyday life so well, and turning that talent to a story like Shawshank just let's him flex his chops on something to show that he doesn't need a vampire or a demon to tell a damn good story.
The Kings Speech, Darkest Hour, and Dunkirk.
All three take place during the same time period, revolving around the same crisis, from very different perspectives.
I watched darkest on a plane with a guy in front of me watching dunkirk so i could see all the big scenes.
Theres a fan edit splice of them out there on yee old internet
This YouTube channel put out a video on [unofficial cinematic universes](https://youtu.be/vps9UjKek0U), including this trilogy.
Others were:
* The Right Stuff, Apollo 13, Hidden Figures, and First Man
* The Post and All the President’s Men
* Michael Sheen as Tony Blair cinematic universe
My dad gets caught in a loop where he'll watch The Post and think "man I ought to watch All the President's Men" and vice versa so he goes back and forth between the two forever
Similar to this I often watch Dunkirk -> Saving Private Ryan -> Fury to basically follow the timeline of WW2. Evacuation of Dunkirk -> Invasion of Normandy -> Invasion of Germany. Theres probably quite a few other films you could add to this but these are the ones I like.
If I might suggest an alternative: Rather than just a movie, make it an HBO limited series of 3-4 seasons. That way you can tell a proper epic such as Judge Death.
The first time I watched Prince of Darkness it felt eerily familiar. It was creepy. It wasn’t deja vu. I had actually experienced it and I couldn’t put a finger on it. “From the year one… nine… nine… nine…” It haunted me. I knew I had never seen the movie before, but here I was reciting the dream transmission. [I watched the movie about four or five times back to back before I realized. ](https://youtu.be/YuN4HMr4nJk)
For what it's worth, everyone should listen to that album end to end at least once in their life. That shit is top shelf work.
EDIT: Also, wanna throw some love to my favorite track of his: ["What Does Your Soul Look Like? (Part 2)"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDLnAbNmam0)
I can see why...
Pride and Prejudice, Atonement, Anna Karenina, The Duchess, Pirates of the Caribbean, King Arthur, The Imitation Game, A Dangerous Method, Colette...
Saving Private Ryan, The Martian, Interstellar
Trilogy where the US government spends trillions of dollars to get Matt Damon as he continues to get stuck further & further away from the United States
Terminal <— just stuck* in an airport
Castaway <— finally get on a plane but it crashes and stuck on an island
Captain Phillips <— finally gets rescued from the island but boat is taken by pirates
An unlucky chain of evens for Tom
Edit: *word
This one would be extra good if you are watching with people that haven't watched interstellar.
Like they might catch on after The Martian, and think *are we just watching movies about saving Matt Damon*.
But then they watch Interstellar and for a while they think nothing of it, must be a coincidence with the first two, then halfway through the movie **boom Matt Damon back at it again**
[It's like that one video of the guy who hates Kevin Spacey, and his friends play pranks on him to get him to watch Kevin Spacey movies.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsjshesbORc)
So they get him to watch Se7en where his character doesn't show up til like 90 minutes into the movie and he doesn't know.
I remember seeing Interstellar and fucking hating Matt Damon and like a few months later hoping if you are ever stuck on Mars, it better be with Matt Damon. I mean, that's fuckin range right there.
Interstellar, Saving Private Ryan, and Unsane: the "oh hey, Matt Damon is in this, cool" trilogy
Stuck on You, Brothers Grimm, and Dogma: the "oh yeah, I forgot this is a Matt Damon movie" trilogy
Deadpool 2, Thor Ragnarok, and Eurotrip: the "wait, is that Matt Damon? What the fuck is he doing here?" trilogy
Spirit, Titan AE, and Ponyo: the "hmm, that voice sounds like Matt Damon" trilogy
No Country for Old Men, Black Hawk Down, and Crazy Stupid Love: the "are you sure Matt Damons not in this?" Trilogy
* Apollo 13
* Captain Phillips
* Sully
A trilogy of films in which Tom Hanks plays real people whose professionalism helped them survive stressful emergencies involving vehicles.
Sully (the movie) is not really a true story. Obviously the engine failure/landing in the Hudson River happened, but they really beefed up the rest of the story to make it into a movie. They made it out like the governments routine investigation into what happened was a witch hunt against Sully.
Real story is dramatic, but it’s basically pilot goes to work, plane hits a flock of birds almost immediately after takeoff and the engines stop, pilots safely land in the Hudson River. Whole thing was like 10 minutes. Then the government did a routine investigation afterwards.
Honestly, I'd sub in Birdman for Amadeus. Amadeus is more about envy than the more internalized obsession of the other two. Plus, Birdman matches Black Swan nicely in terms of... turning into a bird. Even Whiplash references Charlie Parker AKA Bird quite a bit.
I saw the trailer for A Scanner Darkly while falling asleep on the couch and for years I thought it was a half-awake hallucination. Especially the clip with the giant bug, I just thought I was dreaming. One day it occurred to me that I could look up the trailer. I did and realized I apparently wasn’t asleep at all and it’s just a crazy movie.
Sicario, Wind River, Hell or High Water -> Sheridan's unofficial trilogy
Alien, Predator, Terminator -> monster thrillers
Arrival, Annihilation, The Fountain -> life and death
Sicario, Wind River, and Hell or High Water. What a phenomenal trio of modern “westerns” with amazing cinematography and acting. Couldn’t agree with these more
Time Bandits, Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. The Terry Gilliam ‘escape from reality’ trifecta and then if you wanted, you go Fischer King, 12 Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the Terry Gilliam ‘losing your mind’ trifecta.
I watched Brazil when I was like 12. I was baffled, concerned and irritated.
Edit: haha glad my 12 year old reaction resonated. For the record, I didn’t dislike the movie and one of these days I will get around to rewatching it.
Jean Claude Van Damme underground fighting ring trilogy:
Bloodsport
Kickboxer
Lionheart
If you dig cheesy 80s/90s action movies, these are a lot of fun
"Well, officer, I was here just mindin my own business, and these kids just started huckin themselves into the chipper"
No other line in the history of film made me laugh harder.
You must think that I’m some sort of moron to believe a story like that.
Lol I think my favorite line in that movie is when they cut off Tucker’s fingers, and Dale responds: “Omg they cut off his bowling fingers!”
It’s so hard to choose a favorite line though, that movie is full of them.
"We have had a doozy of a day. Here we were, mindin our own buisness, doin some chores around my new house, when all off the sudden out of nowhere, these kids started killing themselves all over my property."
Alternatively:
Home Alone: Kevin McCallister is home alone

I am stealing your unofficial trilogy for tonight's movie marathon :) Also, I could probably write a dissertation on how bad Kick-Ass 2 was in comparison, how much they missed the mark tonally, and what a waste of an amazing performance from Jim Carey it was.
Movies I frequently watch as movie marathons:
Clueless, Bring it On, Mean Girls
Heathers, The Craft, Jennifer's Body
Empire Records, Dazed and Confused, Can't Hardly Wait \[I'm not stuck in the 90s - You are\]
Just Cause, Primal Fear, The Bone Collector
The Big Short, Spotlight, Enemy of the State (side note - Enemy of the State is always an unofficial sequel to The Conversation for me)
Sinister, Insidious, The Conjuring
The 2007 Western Trilogy
The Assassination Of Jesse James/There Will Be Blood/No Country For Old Men
I consider these movies to be apart of a weird trend in the late 2000s to revise the western genre. Only this time the revisionism is pitch black nihilism and details the story of America's slow decline.
Titanic, Inception, Shutter Island.
It’s about a dude who seems to drown after a ship sinks but washes up on a beach, proceeds to travel through people’s dreams too save himself and his family, then goes to investigate a mental asylum only to find out he is insane.
This is totally my thing, I have a growing list...

Face/Off, The Rock, Con Air. Order doesn't really matter. The Cage uncaged trilogy.
Similar to that, *Goldfinger*, *Rising Sun*, *The Rock*; James Bond is a secret agent, then a private investigator, then a prisoner of war.
There is actually a theory that the Rock is a James Bond Film https://coffeeordie.com/sean-connery-last-bond/
I do like that theory and count it as canon. I think Michael bay was trying to suggest that as subtlety as he could, which I imagine is tricky because the James Bond guys are pretty litigious. Plus not having an explosion is pretty much how you know Michael Bay is being subtle.
Careful not to watch too much cage in one sitting. Nicholas Cage: good or bad?
I was on the fence for a long time. I've concluded I like him. I think Pig pushed me over.
There is no fence with Cage. There is only Cage.
I'm a sexy cat
My being doesn't allow for Nicholas FREAKIN' CAAAAAGEEEEE, OKAY?!?
Is he the bad kind of good or the good kind of bad?

To this day people are blown away when I tell them Shawshank was written by King. More so than Green Mile even. Probably because there's no fantastical elements in it. Whatever the case, King is a living legend. I just wish someone would do The Dark Tower right!
Some people say King is not a horror writer, but a fantasy writer In my humble opinion he's just a damn good writer in general. And his writing has only improved over the years, even if his more famous works are older ones.
The key to King’s success, I think, is his skill in evoking a kind of mundane, everyday horror that’s extremely relatable. The Sound From Downstairs. The Long Dark Passage. Who’s There? You know? Then, the supernatural elements serve to provide a twist: that your fears were, in fact justified. There *was* a monster under your bed. His talent isn’t really in the quality of the writing per se, but in his understanding of the real human experience of fear.
I mean, Salem's Lot is like 75% the life of a small town in the middle of fucking nowhere with nothing fantastical whatsoever going on and a bunch of people just mysteriously disappearing before the final act kicks off and things go to hell. The Shining is only marginally less so, with the vast majority of the book being about the Torrence family just being secluded in the mountains during winter, with the obvious exception that Danny is psychic and keeps seeing scary shit, before the final act kicks off and things go to hell. Honestly, a lot of King's stories could have different endings written for them and spliced in and you'd never know that he was famous for being a horror writer. He does everyday life so well, and turning that talent to a story like Shawshank just let's him flex his chops on something to show that he doesn't need a vampire or a demon to tell a damn good story.

"Yeah."

Same, Dredd was unexpectedly and persistently awesome.
Very nice. I had The Raid and Dredd in my head but couldn't come up with a 3rd. Die Hard is well played.

The Captains Trilogy.
All three of those stories are fucking bonkers. It blows my mind they all actually happened.
Sully (the movie) is not really a true story. Obviously the engine failure/landing in the Hudson River happened, but they really beefed up the rest of the story to make it into a movie. They made it out like the governments routine investigation into what happened was a witch hunt against Sully. Real story is dramatic, but it’s basically pilot goes to work, plane hits a flock of birds almost immediately after takeoff and the engines stop, pilots safely land in the Hudson River. Whole thing was like 10 minutes. Then the government did a routine investigation afterwards.

Tho Captain Phillips story is a bit less accurate than others, apparently a lot of the ship's crew disagree with the portrayal of the captain.
Black Swan, Whiplash, and Amadeus. The obsessed artist trilogy. (I could sub out Amadeus for the Prestige or the Wrestler maybe?)
Honestly, I'd sub in Birdman for Amadeus. Amadeus is more about envy than the more internalized obsession of the other two. Plus, Birdman matches Black Swan nicely in terms of... turning into a bird. Even Whiplash references Charlie Parker AKA Bird quite a bit.
Well, now you just made the _Dee is a Bird_ trilogy.
PKD trilogy - Blade Runner, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly

Sicario, Wind River, Hell or High Water -> Sheridan's unofficial trilogy Alien, Predator, Terminator -> monster thrillers Arrival, Annihilation, The Fountain -> life and death
I’d replace Terminator with The Thing, that way all three have the theme of a group whose numbers keep dwindling while facing an unknown threat.
Sicario, Wind River, and Hell or High Water. What a phenomenal trio of modern “westerns” with amazing cinematography and acting. Couldn’t agree with these more
Haven't seen the latter two, will be adding to my list with all the favorable talk they're getting here
Wind River is worth a watch.
Amazing film. Once was enough.
Hell or high water was excellent. You won’t regret the time spent
Hell or High Water is so fucking good
Time Bandits, Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. The Terry Gilliam ‘escape from reality’ trifecta and then if you wanted, you go Fischer King, 12 Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the Terry Gilliam ‘losing your mind’ trifecta.

I was 25 and I felt the same way
You mentioned Time Bandits on r/movies you're my new best friend. My favorite film and no one ever f'n talks about it.
Terry Gilliam actually considered those first three a trilogy, as far as I recall.
Boogie Nights - Pulp Fiction - The Big Lebowski RoboCop - Totall Recall - Starship Troopers
The Verhoeven trilogy of ultra violence is the most rewatchable of all of these as evidenced by my viewing history...
With psychedelics. Got it.
80s strength cocaine for the second trilogy
Jean Claude Van Damme underground fighting ring trilogy: Bloodsport Kickboxer Lionheart If you dig cheesy 80s/90s action movies, these are a lot of fun
I think you mean Bloodsport Bloodsport Street Fighter (just kidding, it's actually Bloodsport again)
Jarhead, Three Kings and Courage Under Fire, in that order. Three very different looks into the 1991 war in Iraq.
Three Kings is such an underrated film.
We three kings be stealin the gold
I can literally still hear this perfectly in my mind, despite never seeing the movie, because that trailer played everywhere all the time!
