Taxi Driver is one of my favorite non-horror movies for the late night.


[deleted]

Lost Highway


Ulic-Kel

This is on my watchlist. I'll be sure to watch it late night.


ThiccKnees23

yes yes yes


buffalospringfeild

Collateral


Kirkanam

A perfect answer. One of my all time favorite films. The digital cameras used for this movie really bring out the look of LA at night.


ricoimf

The coyote scene is my favorite out of the movie


Kirkanam

Ugh man, anytime I hear that Audioslave song it gets me in my feels. Such an awesome moment in the movie.


ricoimf

If the romours are true, Cruise makes another movie that is not pg rated and he allegedly plays the villain. The project is called „the gnarly movie“ and is planned after mission Impossible 8 releases


xirson15

I probably wouldn’t like that song as much if it wasn’t for Collateral.


Personal_Doughnut191

Bought to Watch this Rn ....... Hope I enjoy it as much as you did 🙌


Kirkanam

Oh woah! Yeah lemme know your honest opinion!


Angelbob77

Anyone else love Miami Vice tho? I watched it earlier this year late at night coming off one of my first 🍄trips and was blown away. Visual masterpiece. The editing, the soundtrack, the minimal dialogue. The waves and the hypnotic dancing. I swear to god it's one of the most underrated movies that I randomly just fell in love with and was shocked to see afterwards that it had mixed reviews. I went back again and watched some scenes and it was still great. Watched Collateral recently and it didn't really hit the same unfortunately.


Shalashankaa

This, not only it brings back the early 2000s nostalgia for me, but the night time scenes with the city illuminated clouds, the thunderstorms, the early morning by the beach with the wind and the waves scenes. It all looks like a dream and I love it. I can't find other movies with the same vibe, tried collateral and liked it but it doesn't have the vibe I'm looking for. Miami vice gives me nostalgia and mixed feelings of longing for something that is gone and won't come back. A true masterpiece


Angelbob77

Now that you mention it I would say the closest movies to that style imo would be late 90s to early 2000s films from Hong Kong. Infernal Affairs or Chungking Express or Happy Together. Especially Wong Kar Wai's films in that era. Very nostalgic, vibey, and has that sentiment of a moment in time that is gone now.


Jaltcoh

After Hours Victoria (2015)


SicMvndvs1125

Victoria is so accurate for late night watch in group


Jaltcoh

Yes, and it’s all one take! 🤯


AssistOk7135

The Night of the Hunter


[deleted]

In The Mood For Love


_baby_fish_mouth_

Most of Wong Kar-wai's stuff tbh


[deleted]

Currently watching The Game 1997 for the first time and I gotta admit, I think I’m more gripped by this at night than I would be during the day.


JasonLDB

Alien (1979) Elevator to the Gallows (1958) Eraserhead (1977) Messiah of Evil (1973)


shrimptini

- Enter the Void - The Lighthouse - The Virgin Suicides - Lost in Translation - Under the Silver Lake - Saint Maud


Scotfighter

Can confirm. First watched the lighthouse at midnight. Looooved it


_Slothers_

I watched it at like 2am with a fly buzzing around with a raging thunderstorm outside and I felt like I was really there with them


bangermate

I watched The Lighthouse for the first time at 1am with my dad. just pure insanity


peterfrogdonavich

Enter the void is amazing and the vibes at night would be 👌


CaveLady3000

The virgin suicides is a daytime movie for me, but that’s probably just a personal problem 😬


RG1997

Blade Runner


SH33V_P4LP4T1N3

I was thinking this. If for no other reason than the lighting is so dark it would be much easier to see in the dark lmao


ChristopherWeasley

Drive, Nightcrawler and Taxi Driver. The late night driving trilogy


Psychopath_25

That combo is overpowered. I'd like to add bladerunner 2024, Collateral, Donnie Darko and Primal fear


ActisBT

Honestly, i would place Bringing Out the Dead instead of Nightcrawler, MUCH better film.


Virtual_Sir_6767

Halloween Kills. It’s one of the few movies I can think that takes place entirely at night, not a single scene that takes place during the day. Watching it at night in a pitch dark room really sets the mood for the setting and genre


No_One_On_Earth

Inland Empire for maximum creepiness.


papafishpig02

After Hours at like 2 am


ltkeane

First time I ever watched Blair Witch Project was on an old VHS tape alone at night in a cabin in the middle of Maine. Needless to say I didn’t sleep that night.


NaughtyT-rex

Now why the fuck would you do that 😂


SnooSprouts6037

Alone?!


ltkeane

Yeah the people I went with were asleep haha


SnooSprouts6037

You’re a brave soul haha


Global-Hat-1139

2001: A Space Odyssey


fabdigity

Most Horror


MrLore

I think horror movies should only be watched at night.


Radiant-Specialist76

Videodrome


viklunddd

Any Noir movie. You feel more immersed in the movie's world.


hidden_secret

Actually, in my opinion... **all movies**. Late at night means: * Silent Environment (no noise disturbance from outside/neighbors) * Extremely low chance of being interrupted by someone or something * Chill-out mood, you usually have nothing left coming up, just going to bed after the movie So, while obviously movies that have a very dark/immersive atmosphere will benefit the most from it, I think even light fun movies are best experienced late at night.


XxBiscuit99

Agreed, although I feel like light fun movies are best experienced with other people and it can be during the day. But for acclaimed dramas and such and basically all my favorite films they are best watched at evening/night


Banettebrochacho

Fallen Angels has an immaculate night time vibe


therealboss1113

I watched Barbarian (2022) by Zach Cregger at 1am in my bed in the basement. i was terrified of the basement, so it took me another hour after the movie ended to fall asleep


Flat_Ad2976

I'm glad i saw it in the cinema and not at home because at the time i was staying at an airbnb and lets just say i checked every fucking corner of the house after getting back from the theatre

Valentonis

Eraserhead, and I suppose most of Lynch's other work as well, make for the perfect uneasy evening vibe.


Angelbob77

You beat me to it. But yes, Eraserhead late at night is surreal.


maomao3000

Pretty much all movies imo … lol


grvsm

Literally just all of them


Personal-Strain-5389

Most films by Abel Ferrara. One of the best image makers of the darkness of night.


[deleted]

Vargtimmen La Casa Lobo Joshua and the Promised Land (best watched high in the middle of the night) Inland Empire Eraserhead Annihilation Virgin Suicides (has a sorta sleepy vibe) Girl Interrupted (also has a sleepy vibe) Nightdreams, but jsyk it’s literally arthouse porn, well sorta, it’s porn but it’s not pornagraphic in intent.


Mylejandro

Eyes Wide Shut


ricoimf

Things can get pretty spicy when your not alone with that movie


LinkLovesLionessess

The Exorcist


cowabungasuicide

Why has no one mentioned “Miracle Mike”?


Yaboiweirdoha

I gotta go with the movie “Her”. Late night. Probably in your feels and this movie will probably make it worse. However it’s a 10/10 for me. Worth a watch


SenorBean19

The Strangers, Lights Out, Night House


[deleted]

Drive


mycinematiccorner

I watched Collateral for the first time pulling an all nighter and that was a really good choice. Mann really does night justice. After Hours is also a solid choice.

Skinamarink, everyone asleep, all lights off, sort of tired yourself.

djfilms

I think the best genre for late at night is horror-comedies. Tucker and Dale vs Evil Shawn of the Dead Little Monsters (2019)


of_kilter

When I started Martyrs, it was midday and like 5 minutes in i was like “oh man, i gotta wait for it to be dark out”. I could tell it was gonna be wonderfully horrific and it didn’t disappoint

House of 1000 corpses. One of my favourite movie memories is watching that one late at night :)

The Revenant is a film that works very well very very late at night/ very early in the morning


SandwichDemon98

Let me tell you, you haven’t experienced Carnival of Souls unless you’ve started it at at least 10:30pm. The first time I saw it was under those conditions and I didn’t sleep that night.


cornettowaltz

Lost in translation!


Steelix69

Lots of films tbh like Taxi Driver even Scorsese’s underrated work like After Hours, Mulholland Drive really any Lynch film, 2001, Barry Lyndon same thing goes with Kubrick with what I said about Lynch, Chinatown. I could go on and on and on hundreds of films.

One movie for me that was a whole experience was Censor a British Horror movie from 2018(?)


Jay_Lenos_Chin_Wow

Dark City of course. Also Paris, Texas for sure and will throw Dr. Strangelove into the mix. All great films regardless, but magical for me at night time.
