As the movies communities are either dead or seems to be enjoying down voting these kinda wuestions to hell and this question is well in the limits with this community .

Recommend movies that have a very good plot with no plotholes (this is very important for me as a movie watcher) , doesn't feel too dated ,has solid 3 dimensional character and arc , good direction and good acting ?

Some of mine are

Donnie darko
American psycho
Fight club
Seven
The prestige
Panic room
Zodiac
Taxi driver

So share your favourites and please no comedy,romance or jumpscare horrors. You can use my list to kinda get an idea of the specific type of movies i am asking for here . And also if you can give a short spoiler free TLDR and attach a trailer that would ve appreciated . Thanks in advance.

You seem to like David Fincher a lot. It's a shame that 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' is 2011, I suppose.

This kind of thing is something that algorithms are better at than people - the resources are there, so you may as well use them.

Anyway, a well-regarded but often forgotten (by me at least) recommendation: Dead Man's Shoes (2004). (don't Google it beforehand though). Trailer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hChf0hmh0fM

I have seen the girl with the dragon tattoo and i gotta say its one of the few movies to leave me sad and on the verge of tears. And i don't have an algorithm as i use a newpipe fork called pipepipe. Also i do love david fincher the most of the great films i have seen from that era seems to be his.

By algorithms, I just meant Google or AI: mostly rubbish of course, but shit-hot at answering 'Best 90s films' type questions.

I suspect you get downvotes a lot 'cos no-one wants to do the drudge work that tech can actually handle.

I have actually kinda searched for that but i have watched most of the results because they display based on popularity , box offuce succes etc.
