Ben Wheatley recommended GoodFellas (1990) in Movies (curated)

 
GoodFellas (1990)
GoodFellas (1990)
1990 | Crime, Drama, Thriller

"I guess there would have to be a Scorsese movie, but there are so many to choose from. You could go for the trilogy –the Goodfellas, Casino, Wolf of Wall Street trilogy — which I absolutely love. I mean, the rise and fall, it’s a classic thing in cinema — all our lives are a rise and fall, aren’t they, if we’re lucky; it could be just a bit of a rise as we go from adulthood to old age and then we die. [Laughs] But Goodfellas and Casino, the journey of those movies to The Wolf of Wall Street, is where the morality is slowly sucked out of them. So Goodfellas is a film where they have a system, a moral code, which is eroded in Casino, where they have a slight system or morals, but it’s all slightly tarnished. But by the time you get to The Wolf of Wall Street, there’s no moral code at all."

A clever, grown-up Disney film with a great underlying moral
I was so astounded by this film that I watched it twice in a row. Beyond the cutsie animals and amazing graphic lies a much more darker message. Mixing godfather and classic 70s crime shows, this intelligent piece of Disney talks about discrimination and exploitation. Very different from the days of princesses and sweet melodies. One of my top favourite Disney films.

2018 | Sci-Fi
Very good film set in the future where everything is done in the virtual world so hardly any human interaction goes on. If you like sci-fi films this might appeal to you but there is a moral of the story and glad to see it plays out in the end. Seen a couple of times as you can miss bits the first time although as in most cases the book is better.
  
Promising Young Woman (2020)
Promising Young Woman (2020)
2020 | Crime, Drama, Thriller
A dark, intense, and thoughtful movie about sexual assault and society's failure to believe women and to allow "boys to be boys" well into adulthood and not have them take responsibility for their actions. It has a powerful message but I fear the ones who need to hear it will not watch this movie. In a perfect world, this movie would be the catalyst to a great social and moral change in the world.
  
State of Decay
State of Decay
Action/Adventure
State of Decay is the zombie game you didn't know you needed. In order to survive, you must not only rescue survivors but also scavenge for materials such as lumber, food, ammo, and medicine. You go on a side missions to help your fellow survivor communities. The map is fairly large and will keep you fairly busy exploring. Be warned, if a character dies, their death is permanent and will affect the moral of the other survivors.
