1. Brick (2005)
R | 110 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
A teenage loner pushes his way into the underworld of a high school crime ring to investigate the disappearance of his ex-girlfriend.
Director: Rian Johnson | Stars: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lukas Haas, Emilie de Ravin, Meagan Good
Votes: 110,038 | Gross: $2.06M
Brick ist von der Machart und wie die Geschichte sich entwickelt eine Inspiration. Es ist eigentlich ein typischer Detektivthriller aber in ein anderes Milieu versetzt.
2. The Snowtown Murders (2011)
Not Rated | 119 min | Biography, Crime, Drama
Based on true events, 16 year-old Jamie falls in with his mother's new boyfriend and his crowd of self-appointed neighborhood watchmen, a relationship that leads to a spree of torture and murder.
Director: Justin Kurzel | Stars: Lucas Pittaway, Daniel Henshall, Louise Harris, Bob Adriaens
Votes: 20,606 | Gross: $0.01M
Milieu, Farben, Gewaltdarstellung
3. Only God Forgives (2013)
R | 90 min | Action, Crime, Drama
Julian, a drug-smuggler thriving in Bangkok's criminal underworld, sees his life get even more complicated when his mother compels him to find and kill whoever is responsible for his brother's recent death.
Director: Nicolas Winding Refn | Stars: Ryan Gosling, Kristin Scott Thomas, Vithaya Pansringarm, Gordon Brown
Votes: 118,073 | Gross: $0.78M
Farben und Metaebene, als Referenz für Pierres Hütte. Drive gehört hier eigentlich auch mit rein, wobei ich mich für OGF entschieden habe, weil er dunkler ist und mehr auf Atmosphere basierend ...deswegen eher als Referenz geeignet als Drive.
4. Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013)
R | 96 min | Crime, Drama, Romance
The tale of an outlaw who escapes from prison and sets out across the Texas hills to reunite with his wife and the daughter he has never met.
Director: David Lowery | Stars: Rooney Mara, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, Nate Parker
Votes: 22,771 | Gross: $0.39M
Ungewöhnliche Mischung aus Liebesfilm und Western. Streckenweise ein wenig langatmiges Tempo, aber gute Stimmung.
5. Out of the Furnace (2013)
R | 116 min | Action, Crime, Drama
When Rodney Baze mysteriously disappears and law enforcement doesn't follow through fast enough, his older brother Russell takes matters into his own hands to find justice.
Director: Scott Cooper | Stars: Christian Bale, Casey Affleck, Zoe Saldana, Woody Harrelson
Votes: 125,048 | Gross: $11.33M
Gute Stimmung, gutes Setting und vom Licht/Kamerakonzept ähnlich Darwin. Die Käpmfe sind bissl schlampig. Der Teil mit Casey Affleck im Wald ist finde ich sehr gut.
6. Revenge for Jolly! (2012)
R | 81 min | Comedy, Drama
A man recruits his cousin to find out who is behind his dog's suspicious death.
Director: Chadd Harbold | Stars: Brian Petsos, Kristen Wiig, Elijah Wood, Oscar Isaac
Votes: 1,648
Meine Inspiration zusammen mit Killing them Softly für unseren Krumovfilm. Typisch Fantasie Film Fest. Gute Charaktere, teilweise echt gute Dialoge, aber alles recht eindimensional.
7. Reservoir Dogs (1992)
R | 99 min | Crime, Thriller
When a simple jewelry heist goes horribly wrong, the surviving criminals begin to suspect that one of them is a police informant.
Director: Quentin Tarantino | Stars: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Chris Penn
Votes: 1,087,727 | Gross: $2.83M
Multiploterzählung, Verbindung von Szenen und Charakteren. Pulp Fiction gehört hier eigentlich auch mit rein, aber RD passt als Referenz etwas besser.
8. Killing Them Softly (2012)
R | 97 min | Crime, Drama, Thriller
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.
Director: Andrew Dominik | Stars: Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta, Richard Jenkins, Scoot McNairy
Votes: 153,089 | Gross: $15.03M
Charaktere, Dialoge, Kameraarbeit und die Faszination und Zielsetzung für Geld.
9. Mysterious Skin (2004)
Unrated | 105 min | Drama
Two pre-adolescent boys both experienced a strange event and later it affects their lives in different ways. One becomes a reckless, sexually adventurous prostitute, while the other retreats into a reclusive fantasy of alien abduction.
Director: Gregg Araki | Stars: Brady Corbet, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Elisabeth Shue, Chase Ellison
Votes: 76,282 | Gross: $0.70M
Fällt bisschen mehr in die Kategorie Brick. Die Filme haben so ne ganz bestimmte amerikanische independent Machart, die mir für Tryceratops auch mehr oder weniger vorschwebt. Eher ein schwerer Film.
10. The Place Beyond the Pines (2012)
R | 140 min | Crime, Drama, Thriller
Two men and their sons must deal with the unforeseen consequences of their actions.
Director: Derek Cianfrance | Stars: Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes, Craig Van Hook
Votes: 290,224 | Gross: $21.38M
Nur der erste Teil mit Ryan. Die anderen beiden entsprechen nur wenig dem Stil bis auf den Teil wo Ray Liotta Avery in den Wald lockt, bzw. Ryans Sohn Avery im Wald erschiessen will.
11. As I Lay Dying (2013)
R | 110 min | Drama
Based on the classic novel by William Faulkner, first published in 1930, "As I Lay Dying" is the story of the death of Addie Bundren and her family's quest to honor her last wish to be buried in the nearby town of Jefferson.
Director: James Franco | Stars: James Franco, Tim Blake Nelson, Jim Parrack, Ahna O'Reilly
Votes: 4,194 | Gross: $0.02M
James Franco hat es zwar n bisschen mit seinem Splitscreenkram übertrieben, aber vom Milieu her hatte ich ursprünlich so etwas angedacht. Typische südstaaten Familiengeschichte mit Abgründen und vielen ungesagten, sehr puristisch und triebhafter.
12. Winter's Bone (2010)
R | 100 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
An unflinching Ozark Mountain girl hacks through dangerous social terrain as she hunts down her drug-dealing father while trying to keep her family intact.
Director: Debra Granik | Stars: Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Garret Dillahunt, Isaiah Stone
Votes: 150,514 | Gross: $6.53M
Südstaaten, Abenteuergeschichte, gute Atmosphere obwohl noch ein wenig zu seicht. Trotzdem ne Referenz.
13. Prisoners (2013)
R | 153 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
When Keller Dover's daughter and her friend go missing, he takes matters into his own hands as the police pursue multiple leads and the pressure mounts.
Director: Denis Villeneuve | Stars: Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Melissa Leo
Votes: 808,889 | Gross: $61.00M
Kameraarbeit und Atmosphere. Musik. Herbst - Nebel - Regen - Geheimnis
14. We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)
R | 112 min | Drama, Mystery, Thriller
Kevin's mother struggles to love her strange child despite the increasingly dangerous things he says and does as he grows up. But Kevin is just getting started, and his final act will be beyond anything anyone imagined.
Director: Lynne Ramsay | Stars: Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly, Ezra Miller, Jasper Newell
Votes: 167,670 | Gross: $1.74M
Sehr guter Film. Im Hinblick auf Janniks Familie. Unerklärliche Bedrohung durch den Sohn. Sehr gute Kamera, Verbindung von poetischem Kino mit stark inszenierten Szenen und Handlungskino.
15. The Reflecting Skin (1990)
R | 96 min | Drama, Horror, Thriller
In the 1950s, a young boy living with his troublesome family in rural USA fantasizes that a neighboring widow is actually a vampire, responsible for a number of disappearances in the area.
Director: Philip Ridley | Stars: Viggo Mortensen, Lindsay Duncan, Jeremy Cooper, Sheila Moore
Votes: 9,340
Eigentlich ne Referenz für all meine Filme. Da komm ich n bisschen her auch wenn ich mich immer versuche davon wegzuentwickeln. Nie als Vorbild für irgendwas gehabt aber ne starke Referenz für mich oder wo ich her komm. Schwer zu erklären.
16. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
R | 83 min | Horror
Five friends head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of a grandfather. On the way they stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something armed with a chainsaw.
Director: Tobe Hooper | Stars: Marilyn Burns, Edwin Neal, Allen Danziger, Paul A. Partain
Votes: 183,495 | Gross: $30.86M
Vor allem wahrscheinlich weil ich mich immernoch nicht davon lösen kann mir meine Filme immer in diesem alten Horrorfilmstil auf dreckigem Filmmaterial vorzustellen. Liebevoll und ambitioniert gemacht. Nostalgie für die B Movie Horrorfilme
17. IOWA (2005)
Not Rated | 104 min | Crime, Drama
A cautionary tale of love, crime, fantasy and addiction that follows two young Iowan lovers who decide to go into the "batch" business - cooking their own methamphetamine - only to watch it burn a searing hole in their lives.
Director: Matt Farnsworth | Stars: Matt Farnsworth, Diane Foster, John Savage, Rosanna Arquette
Votes: 430
s. Brick - brutaler mehr B-Movie, auch sehr low Budget, etwas an Tarantino orientiert, aber vielversprechender Regisseur. Mittlerweise ist der aber krasser in die Splatterrichtung gewandert.
18. Undertow (2004)
R | 108 min | Drama, Thriller
Pig farmer and widower John Munn is raising his two sons in an isolated farmhouse, until his troubled brother arrives and changes their lives forever.
Director: David Gordon Green | Stars: Jamie Bell, Josh Lucas, Dermot Mulroney, Devon Alan
Votes: 9,359 | Gross: $0.02M
Coming of Age Geschichte. Auch ein wenig in Richtung Snowtown aber nicht so brutal. An sich eher schwacher Film aber die Charaktere ähneln teilweise denen in Tryceratops.
19. The Village (2004)
PG-13 | 108 min | Drama, Mystery, Thriller
A series of events tests the beliefs of a small isolated countryside village.
Director: M. Night Shyamalan | Stars: Sigourney Weaver, William Hurt, Joaquin Phoenix, Bryce Dallas Howard
Votes: 277,621 | Gross: $114.20M
Verbindung von Dorf und Wald als Mysterium.
20. Kill List (2011)

Director: Ben Wheatley | Stars: Neil Maskell, MyAnna Buring, Harry Simpson, Michael Smiley
Votes: 45,315 | Gross: $0.03M
Spiel mit Erwartungen, unvorhersehbare Entwicklung, freie Erzählweise. Besonders interessant aber dem Einsetzen der Kapitel, die erste halbe Stunde muss man bissl die Zähne zusammenbeissen damit man nicht gleich wieder aus macht.
21. We Are What We Are (2013)
R | 105 min | Drama, Horror, Thriller
The Parkers, a reclusive family who follow ancient customs, find their secret existence threatened as a torrential downpour moves into their area, forcing daughters Iris and Rose to assume responsibilities beyond those of a typical family.
Director: Jim Mickle | Stars: Bill Sage, Ambyr Childers, Julia Garner, Wyatt Russell
Votes: 22,112 | Gross: $0.08M
Ich denke das original ist eigentlich mehr eine Referenz aber Kameratechnisch eher ein Schlag ins Gesicht. Interessant im Hinblick auf alternative Lebensformen, fast Sektenartige Gemeinschaft und der Entrückung erwarteter Storyelemente.
22. Blue Ruin (2013)
R | 90 min | Crime, Drama, Thriller
A mysterious outsider's quiet life is turned upside down when he returns to his childhood home to carry out an act of vengeance. Proving himself an amateur assassin, he winds up in a brutal fight to protect his estranged family.
Director: Jeremy Saulnier | Stars: Macon Blair, Devin Ratray, Amy Hargreaves, Kevin Kolack
Votes: 78,831 | Gross: $0.26M
Steigt schnell in die Handlung ein, hat ein sehr gute Tempo, viele Plotwendungen, Kameratechnisch wahrscheinlich nicht so spannend, aber sehr starker Drive.
23. Dead Man's Shoes (2004)
Not Rated | 90 min | Crime, Drama, Thriller
A disaffected soldier returns to his hometown to get even with the thugs who brutalized his mentally-challenged brother years ago.
Director: Shane Meadows | Stars: Paddy Considine, Gary Stretch, Toby Kebbell, Stuart Wolfenden
Votes: 58,341 | Gross: $0.01M
Guter britischer Independentfilm. Gute Storyline und auch ein wenig B-Moviemäßig. Gut erzählt und gute Musik.

R | 88 min | Action, Crime, Horror
Set in Middle America, a group of teens receive an online invitation for sex, though they soon encounter fundamentalists with a much more sinister agenda.
Director: Kevin Smith | Stars: Michael Parks, Melissa Leo, John Goodman, Michael Angarano
Votes: 67,164 | Gross: $1.10M
Südstaatengeschichte. Entfaltung der Story. Sekten und Kommunen mit differenzierenden Gesellschaftsmodellen und Gewaltvorstellungen.

A surreal tale of a married couple going on a road trip to visit the wife's parents with the intention of killing them for the inheritance.
Director: Jean-Luc Godard | Stars: Mireille Darc, Jean Yanne, Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Yves Afonso
Votes: 15,785
Einer der wenigen Filme die ich von Godard gesehen hab. Natürlich kein typisches Unterhaltungskino, aber ungewöhnle Ideen und es brennt. Teilweise aber n bisschen zu viel künstlerkino als pure Unterhaltung. Muss man sich bissl reinfühlen.
26. Dogville (2003)
R | 178 min | Crime, Drama

Director: Lars von Trier | Stars: Nicole Kidman, Paul Bettany, Lauren Bacall, Harriet Andersson
Votes: 158,600 | Gross: $1.53M
Filmisch ein sehr anstrengender Film, weil ja eigentlich kein richtiges Set existiert und mehr am Theater orientiert ist, aber von der Gesellschaftsform und den Moralvorstellungen in dem Dorf sehr interessant und klug gedacht....der Lars...
27. Van Diemen's Land (2009)
Not Rated | 104 min | Adventure, Biography, History
The true story of Alexander Pearce, Australia's most notorious convict. In 1822, Pearce and seven fellow convicts escaped from Macquarie Harbour, a place of ultra banishment and punishment,... See full summary »
Director: Jonathan auf der Heide | Stars: Oscar Redding, Arthur Angel, Paul Ashcroft, Thomas M. Wright
Votes: 3,427
Außergewöhnlicher australischer Debütfilm, bissl anstrengend auch zeitweise, aber treibt sich auch so n bisschen an den Grenzen von Konventionen und Moralvorstellungen rum. Wie gesagt unter dem Aspekt zu was Menschen bereit sind wenn sie unter sich eine Pseudogesellschaft gründen.
28. The Host (2006)
R | 120 min | Drama, Horror, Sci-Fi

Director: Kimberly Peirce | Stars: Hilary Swank, Chloë Sevigny, Peter Sarsgaard, Brendan Sexton III
Votes: 103,265 | Gross: $11.53M
Schwerer Film. Kann man auch nur einmal alle 5 Jahre gucken. Geht es mehr um eine rückständige Gesellschaft, die bereit ist Situationen oder Menschen die sie nicht kontrollieren kann zu zerstören.

Director: Harmony Korine | Stars: Nick Sutton, Jacob Sewell, Lara Tosh, Jacob Reynolds
Votes: 38,226 | Gross: $0.02M
Außergewöhnlicher Film von Harmony Korine. Eigentlich mein angedachtes Milieu, aber teilweise sehr schwere Charaktere die irgendwo zwischen liebevoll erzählt und abstoßend erzählt sind.
