I have to say, i really enjoyed The Details. I also realized that i love movies where a small mistake leads to a series of unfortunate events. I know there are other movies out there like that but i can't think of another one.
Anyone have a list?
I forget what it's called, there's this one movie with Ryan Reynolds... Chaos theory. This anal-retentive guy's life is destroyed when he wakes up five minutes late to work.
Also check out safety not guaranteed. Great film.
Other movie I could think of that is similar to this is 'Change lanes'. Yes, both are of different genres but why I think these two are similar is because in both of these movies the protagonist goes through such roller coaster rides of good and bad morals that he is clue less of what is right what is wrong at certain point of time. Other reason is both of these movies are highly underrated.
shareChanging Lanes is a powerful movie, but just so painful to watch.
Fargo
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
A Simple Plan
Burn After Reading
Very Bad Things
That should keep you busy for a while. :)
Singme - Great list!!
shareCheck out 'Election' with Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon. As I was watching 'The Details' just now, I kept thinking over and over how much it reminded me of 'Election'. Very similar films.
shareSome of my favorite dark comedies
Lucky Numbers - John Travolta and Lisa Kudrow
Very Bad Things - Christian Slater and Cameron Diaz
Death to Smoochie - Robin Williams and Danny Devito
I'd also add the new series "Mad Dogs" from Amazon to this list. (Never seen the original UK version so it may be a good fit as well.)
