Welcome for the watchers!
This subverse takes a minimalist approach towards watch requests and suggestions. In an effort to leave posts as open as possible, all submission titles must be five words or less. For suggestions, the outright posting of the title is discouraged, check out the examples for more details.
Enjoy the verse and happy watching!
Examples
Coherent sentences or word structure are not required for submissions, but if they exceed the word limit they will be removed. Of course, additional details are allowed in the body of the post.
An example of an "unoriginal" request post includes the following:
Similar to Twelve Monkeys
A "good" request post could be more esoteric in nature:
Blue Cries of Matt Damon
Watch givers should feel free to suggest any kind of film. No suggestion is off the table. For example, I might suggest Breaking Bad for the "good" post because of the Meth Damon character in the latter half of the series. Think word association or degrees of separation (if you're into that).
Note that request post titles generally work best if they somehow relate to what you're looking for. While post titles that don't exceed five words and are related to watching won't be removed, it's more fun if someone can think of what to suggest based off the title alone.
For example, a post titled: Hey, you guys!, that then says in the body of the post: Suggest a zombie romantic comedy to me isn't as fun as a post title that says: Zombie kiss begins with brains.
All suggestion posts are welcome, but also adhere to the word limit. While posting the title of what to watch outright is acceptable, you are encouraged to include this in the body of the submission. For example, a suggestion submission might be titled:
The twist makes no sense
The body of the submission might then suggest:
High Tension
Special

The Martyrs. French horror movie nights (not as cool as it sounds because I always shit my pants driving home) with a few mates brought me to this. It's high energy/gore, but makes you adequately unfomfortable with little to no jump scares, perhaps existential horror fits the description.

The Devil's Backbone

Good ol' Guillermo Del Torro. I've seen this one! Quien su espiros, the child ghost, right? I loved the setting and atmosphere. The sequel, Pan's Labyrinth, is probably better known.

Yeah, you can definitely see hints of his now much more fantasy based stuff in Backbone. Definitely a slow burn horror, but I prefer Pan's.
