>>71592171
I hear it's not very good. I'm a sucker for that kind of settings, so I might give it a try.

>>71592181
The Brazil-esque futuristic setting was gorgeous, it's a shame it didn't have much screen time.

>>71592207
I'm planning on watching it.

>>71592230
The 1957's one?

>>71592220

No movie, just tunneling work for a metro system.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Lord of the Rings (several), Pan's Labyrinth

Eden Log, it's not great but if you want an underground setting it might satisfy you, also you should really watch The Descent.

Journey to the Center of the Earth
Under The Mountain
Haven't seen any of these but they seem to fit the bill
>>
>>71594256
definitely a flawed trilogy, but yeah its really comfy. The underground sets are designed well
>>
10 Cloverfield Lane
>>
Fantastic Voyage, it's a body not a cave but still nice movie and it still holds up pretty well today.
>>
>>71596366
Agent fightscene in the subway in 1 is GOAT. I wish more films could capture that level of comfy martial arts.

The wachowski trannies were/are so good with color and set design. Hopefully they chill the fuck out and return to form with another grimy high-fashion sci-fi fantasy. Fuckin leather spandex baby

>>71593660
Fucking this. It's Lucas' magnum opus. Star Wars was just for fun. Then he slipped and hit his head on the stairs and made the prequels.

For this movie I'll always respect George as an artist no matter what nonsense he says or does. Van Gogh cut of his ear and put it in a little box but his paintings are still masterpieces.

Thanks for your suggestions, guys, I'll check them all out.

Here are some suggestions from me:

>Big Trouble in Big China
A large chunk of the movie takes place in underground settings.
>Quatermass and the Pit
Takes place in the London Underground. Make sure you watch the first two Quatermass movies, they are excellent.
>The Midnight Meat Train
Surprisingly entertaining and atmospheric movie.
>The Borderlands
Greatest found footage film ever made.
>Cube
Kind of.
>>
>>71595675
>>71598348
best docu i`ve seen in a while
>>
>>71599337
>Quatermass and the Pit
is this a straight sequel, as in it follows the plot from the other two? or is it more of a re-imagination of the story, unrelated to the others.

i might not want to bother with the other two to be honest but this looks good. actually didn't know it was a sequel.
>>
>>71599337
Actually was gonna mention Cube but wasn't sure if it would fit.
>>
>>71599337
>Quatermass and the Pit
based lovecraftian movie

>>71599743
I think u can't skip the 2 first Quatermass: i only have watched the 3rd and it's not a sequel. It's a bit slow, but the ending is worthwhile.

>>
>>71592761
as above so below was surprisingly decent, it has the jump scares that are expected with that kind of movie but they sort of went beyond that and tried to make an actual movie. its a fun underground treasure hunt adventure movie with its fair share of horror and jump scares.

just finished Dark Days, all it needed was a russian dub and more guitar and it might as well have been a Metro 2033 movie

It isn't a straight sequel, since there isn't much of a plot continuation between the movies, However, the first two build a background story that is only implied in the third one.
As I said, they are all great and surprisingly realistic pieces of sci-fi, despite their B-movie status, so they are worth a watch.

>>71600825
It looks good.

>>71600843
I'll give it a try, then.

>>71601063
It may be happening

Catacombs

Not a great movie but it has delicious Shannyn Sossamon running around all sweaty, so there's that
>>
>>71599337

Cube might qualify.
Cube Zero would for sure.

This one had some pretty great underground parts. The entire premise of the movie is that going outside kills you so everyone has to remain indoors for the entire movie.

I thought it was pretty great. My friends were 50/50 on liking it or hating it

Also:
>foreign film so you have to read throughout the movie ;_;

Sorry I like to look at the entire scene and not have my vision primarily focused on the bottom part of the screen. Not saying that I hate foreign films.

that australian tunnel movie about the monster thing that kills people. its found footage, really good. cant remember the name, it might just be The Tunnel

Watership Down. Be aware though, unlike some of the chill movies posted in this thread (The Descent, Creep) this is some pretty heavy, traumatic shit.
