Doesn’t just have to be fun hangout films like Linklater, can also be old Scorsese like Casino, Malick, Spike, etc. Just anything where plot takes a back seat but isn’t boring or confusing.

Tryna grab some inspiration.

You've probably already seen Chungking Express

Drive My Car

Dazed and Confused

I've been meaning to check out Days of Heaven. Apparently it falls in that category

a recent favorite

When everyone thought it would be another fast n furious lol

Lowkey this.

It has a "plot" but it's mostly just an all star ensemble being funny as hell throughout the movie.

I don’t really understand. You mean a movie that’s still cool to watch visually even if you don’t know wtf is happening?

Hero and Paprika come to mind

tsai filmography

When I was a kid, that movie was Avatar lol.

Damn is Drive similar to Rocky in structure?

“Boxing” movie where the boxing takes a back seat to the love story/character study

“Driving action” movie where the action takes a back seat to a possible love story/character study

Zerkalo

Movie has an excellent plot

i agree but one could argue that the plot takes a backseat to the mood and vibe of the movie

come to think about it….

Lost Highway

Also Jackie Brown. I remember QT said he structured it so the first half is just a hang out film getting to know the characters and then the 2nd half they get into the plot.

Similar here where the first half is building these characters. And then around midpoint we get into the whole Oscar Isaac getting killled that puts the rest of the film into motion.

does Taste of Cherry count

Eraserhead maybe

Certified Copy too

Lost in Translation
Babel
Shiva Baby
Gravity
My Own Private Idaho
Vanilla Sky
