have u ever watched a good adult movie or did u just watch transformers and think, ‘yep this is as good as it’s gonna get’

please name an adult movie that isnt just sex, explosions, yelling and a cheap (and unbelievable) love story

Poking over a list of successful r-rated movies to jog my memory:

Terminator 2

Highlander 

Saving Private Ryan

The Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption (really just put the a majority of Stephen King, his books tend to get uncut, R-rated adaptions instead of being watered down).

Blazing Saddles

Some of Robin Williams’ more adult movies like Good Morning Vietnam and Good Will Hunting

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest 

Silence of the Lambs

All the Mad Max films

All the Alien Movies

That’s only the ones I’ve seen or know enough about to list in confidence because of glowing recommendations. 

Don’t forget Pan’s Labyrinth

It’s important to note what the OP was talking about was a really flawed argument. Essentially a lowest common denominator versus High Art. 

I mean…

Which one of these more exemplifies “deep heart-wrenching death, moments where you question your own values, humor, adult jokes splashed in, the secret to the entire universe, sometimes explosions too.”

Because I’m telling you it’s not the one that cast Rob Snyder.
