Post good “angry” movies. By “angry” i mean something like leaving las vegas. Movies not about action or violence, or like fast and furious yelling scenes. But movies where you can tell whoever wrote/made it were exceedingly pissed off while doing so.
Leaving las vegas is really the only one i can think of. I guess maybe misanthropic is a better descriptor than angry, but you get the idea.
Shit like fight club isnt angry or misanthropic. The shining isnt angry. American history x isnt angry. What is?

Ehhhhh kinda. The anger in that is forced through drug and crime, thats not really what i meant. Like in leaving Las Vegas the guy thoroughly gives up and drinks himself to death less than 30 days after he made his decision. The amount of anger required to reach that level of surrender is quite high. Yet rarely in film is that ever captured. Thats what im asking about
I don't think Figgis was angry when he was making this but John OBrien, the guy who wrote the book, definitely was fricked up.
He committed suicide shortly after getting the movie deal and said that Leaving Las Vegas was his suicide note.
That movie might be the darkest movie ever made.
Yeah thats what i mean. The movie itself isnt angry or volatile. But the character himself is and that is shown throughout the entirety of the movie. I cant think of anything else like that.
Kinda. Thats a remake of an older movie, and both i would say aren’t really angry.
I would say Bad Lieutenant, you can clearly tell the director has issues
>I would say Bad Lieutenant, you can clearly tell the director has issues
The co-writer was a model who REALLY LIKED HEROIN. That was like her thing. And they were using on the set too:
> Ferrara said in 2012 that he was using drugs during the making of the film: "The director of that film needed to be using, the director and the writer—not the actors."[9]
Happiness (1995)
Great movie, just watched if for the first time about a month ago. I wouldn’t call it angry though.
I still think its wild that Hollywood made this openly.
The 90s are likely going to be like what the later 2020s and the 2030s will be like, There will at some point be an event that causes the collective zeitgeist to start viewing today's current behavior and social norms as inauthentic and elitist, you will start seeing vocal pushback against "gentrification" of culture
I fricking hate this movie so much. I was molested when I was a little kid and this scene brings back horrible fricking memories. Every time I see it mentioned my skin crawls. First time I saw this I legit vomited and cried for an hour.
You were asking for it.
stick to avengers and popsicle sticks next time you emotionally moronic manchild
I sympathize with you anon. I wasn't molested but I find it kind of disgusting how cynical israelites are so starved for a laugh that they make child rape into a joke
I'm sorry bud. I hope you get the help you need and find peace. You deserve it
My dad recommended romper stomper but ive never seen it. So maybe that, or brawl in cell block 99 fits the bill.
I think this kind of has the vibe your looking for. You could cut out all the actual scenes of violence and it would still feel just as unsettling.
that scene where the woman gets her face blown off was kino
prob not what OP was asking but I love Network (1976) everyone gets so frickin mad in it lol
>BIG FAT
>BIG TITTED HIT
In the company of men
The shape of things
Network
I saw the devil
Wag the dog
Swimming with sharks
Dead mans shoes
Sightseers
Possibly angry but not sure:
Picnic at hanging rock
The beguiled
The virgin diaries
The lobster
Chinatown. Especially the ending. The whole movie is cynical but the ending is just a gut-punch that really makes you feel the sense of pointlessness and tragic, violent randomness that Polanski must have felt at the time. You can feel that he really feels it
I'd say Taxi Driver fits the bill, too. The disgust at the state of New York is real
Yeah taxi driver is a good example that slipped my mind. I wont watch a israelite movie but it sounds like that also is fitting.
Watching cell block 99 right now for the first time and its exactly what i was talking about.
Polanski was making a powerful statement about powerful rich men who rape and abuse women. Like Roman Polanski!
Breaker Morant (1980)
don't remember everything about this movie but angry does seem like a good way to describe it
I would say Falling down but it’s not really subtle
This is a good one thanks. Gonna watch this next, somehow never watched it.
Actually those films do work as a vehicle to just show the disgust at those cities. Falling Down is written by someone who lives in LA and just abhors it and fantasizes about someone going on a rampage tearing it down. Taxi Driver just haaaaaaates how dirty and sleazy NYC is.
Just watch any movie post 2015. They’re all filled with resentment towards white men
The shining isn't angry, but its evil
No its not. Its a decent horror adaptation that a self obsessed butthole spent 20 years propagating as the greatest thing ever. sk was a hack
Are you talking about steven king or stanley kubrick. But I mean the shining is a souless movie in a good way, kubrick was a homosexual for making it but the end product is undeniable
yeah, it’s sincerely evil
Angels in America is gay kino from the late 90s/ early 00s that encapsulates like three different angry gay types.
Not a good movie, but an angry one.
And Taxi Driver but I don't wanna spend time combining pics.
That shot of the black guy storming down the street screaming "I'll kill her! I'LL KIL HER!" Incredible anger and Travis is the only one that can see how bad it all really is.
I did not get “angry” from Leaving Las Vegas
How old are you? That would most likely explain it. You don’t intentionally drink yourself to death within a month because of anything other than pure resentment, shame, and anger. Which is displayed in the movie multiple times.
I'm 25, but I've never been an alcoholic so I don't have that experience to draw from I guess. You might be right.
The Hunt
Burton and Harris are masters at anger. See Look Back in Anger and The Field.
Modern actors are too homosexual to know how to get angry.
Macbeth (1970)
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Scum and its remake Dog Pound come to mind.
