Of the "Slow Burn" type movies that are available on BD, which ones would you HIGHLY recommend?

If by slow burn, you mean movies that should die in a slow fire, I vote 2001: A Space Odyssey.

lol

You will find that lots of people enjoy this movie, however I found it horrible. This one is a love/hate movie.

What is your definition of a "Slow Burn" movie?

The only "slow burn" I know of is the comic take of a character trying, and failing, to keep calm in a frustrating situation--
The only one I know of on Blu that would qualify is Steve Martin in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", but only because there's no John Cleese or WC Fields on Blu yet.

What genres are you specifically looking for?

m_burlock · 11-08-2011, 06:47 PM

Genre doesn't matter to me.

Some examples of what I call "slow burn" are: "Session 9", The original "Let The Right One In", "A Tale of Two Sisters" (Korea), "A Bittersweet Life" (Korea), "2001: A Space Odyssey", The original "Pulse", "Once Upon A Time In The West", "Paris, Texas", the slow parts of "Bladerunner", and the opening of "Alien".
