If You Enjoyed Leonardo DiCaprio’s Intense Battles, Check Out These Must-See Films!
With the enthusiastic feedback received for One Battle After Another featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, it appears to be a truly exceptional film.
Paul Thomas Anderson has crafted a loose adaptation of Vineland, the novel by Thomas Pynchon. This energetic, high-octane conspiracy thriller promises to elevate the already ambitious director to new heights.
If you enjoy One Battle After Another, you might want to explore some films that share similar vibes. Although the film is a unique success, Watch With Us presents three titles that may satisfy your craving.
‘Under the Silver Lake’ (2018)
If you’re eager to dive into another conspiracy, give Under the Silver Lake a look. The story, heavily inspired by Pynchon, follows a disillusioned young man named Sam (Andrew Garfield), who becomes infatuated with his stunning new neighbor, Sarah (Riley Keough).
When Sarah disappears, Sam sets off on an odyssey across LA to find her, piecing together clues that seem intentionally left for him, leading to the shadowy underbelly of the city. Similar to the surreal complexity of David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive, Under the Silver Lake is a brooding mystery filled with growing unease and curiosity. This film has cultivated a devoted fanbase, as dedicated to deciphering its mysteries as Sam is.
‘Inherent Vice’ (2014)
After experiencing One Battle After Another, you should check out Anderson’s first Pynchon adaptation, Inherent Vice. This conspiracy-themed film centers on Joaquin Phoenix‘s laid-back detective, Doc Sportello. When Doc’s ex-girlfriend suddenly goes missing, his search for her unravels a web of plots involving a notorious real estate mogul and a drug-smuggling operation.
Equally humorous and perplexing, Inherent Vice may leave you with more questions than clarity. However, it’s more about enjoying the vibe of the film than stressing over its answers. Featuring hilarious performances from Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro, Inherent Vice is an unusual yet emotionally resonant take on neo-noir.
‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ (2015)
Although entirely different in plot, if you’re looking for a film packed with raw, relentless energy, then Mad Max: Fury Road is essential viewing. Serving as a sequel to director George Miller’s acclaimed post-apocalyptic franchise featuring Mel Gibson, Fury Road introduces Tom Hardy in an exhilarating role that rivals its predecessors.
Hulu might not have a plethora of new action films this September, but it does feature two of the year’s best. Kingsman: The Secret Service, showcasing Taron Egerton, is an underrated action-comedy, while John Wick began as a low-budget thriller that evolved into a major action franchise.
In a brutal world marked by resource scarcity, Max Rockatansky (Hardy) is captured by the henchmen of Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) and held captive in his gigantic fortress. During a routine mission to gather fuel and ammunition in Joe’s “War Rig,” the warrior, Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), devises a daring escape plan for herself and five of Joe’s wives, partnering with Max to finally overthrow the tyrant.
