60 of 242 · most liked firstIt's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since. www.polygon.com/strange-days...
positive · AI labelView post →🚨HOLY SHIT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!🚨 STRANGE DAYS is streaming on Criterion Channel as part of their 3 By Bigalow collection. This movie is ALMOST NEVER available and slaps so hard it'll hurt your mama. A must see for any Sci-fi/Cyberpunk/Neo-Noir fan. Such a great fucking movie. LET'S FUCKING GOOOO!
positive · AI labelView post →Kicked off 2025 right with STRANGE DAYS, a Kathryn Bigalow New Years Eve movie that is mysteriously hard to find but fucks as hard as it did in 1995. Such a great dystopian noir and worth seeking out. Weirdly, its biggest impact is the sample used for Fatboy Slim’s RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. Incredible.

neutral · AI labelView post →Ok Taylor and I are rewatching cyberpunk movies from the 80s and 90s as a theme, and we just watched Strange Days, a movie I hadn't seen since literally the 90s. I remember liking it, before being a filmmaker and before I was an adult, but my god is this a terrific film, and I wanna talk about it. >

positive · AI labelView post →Gonna have to go with Strange Days. Really slept on movie.
positive · AI labelView post →The only unrealistic aspect of the movie Strange Days was the idea that there’s a good cop who is against corruption
neutral · AI labelView post →I've been seeing a lot of people I know talk about watching Strange Days for the first time recently, which keeps making me think about one of my favorite parts of the film, which I also can't talk about publicly because it's an extremely underseen movie and I don't want to give it away
positive · AI labelView post →FINALLY watched Strange Days (1995). (Whistles) 90s VR Cyberpunk at its most dirtiest and grittiest. Hard Sci-Fi that hits harder nowadays for a lot of reasons. THIS is BOTH the James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow that I want more of: Pure action junkies with an edge. SQUID!!
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's movie was Strange Days, a great watch all around but also because it's an opportunity to catch Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Lewis, and Vincent D'Onofrio at the absolute peak of their beauty.
positive · AI labelView post →The correct movie to watch on New Year’s Eve is Strange Days and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching Strange Days, which I remember really enjoying at the time (I was 15, ha ha). Somehow blocked out all the male gaze snuff porn. Why DID EVERYONE have to watch the snuff film?? And why is Angela Bassett babysitting this guy?? The 90s felt like height of the "fuck up man-boy" genre.

neutral · AI labelView post →I wish I enjoyed Strange Days more, no film looks like it, but I find it to be lurid and reactionary in a way that lines up with Bigelow's later work. She lingers on a scene of assault in a banal, tortured way. Anyway this shot of a raver and a soldier kissing is a very funny omen for her career.
negative · AI labelView post →Nobody's ever done a better cyberpunk protagonist on film than Ralph Fiennes in Strange Days (1995). If your main guy is actually cool, you messed up. You need a wet little sleaze ball. You need a poor little meow meow.

Need to watch both again. > eXistenZ is a 1999 science fiction horror film written, produced and directed by David Cronenberg. The film follows Allegra Geller (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a game designer who becomes the target of assassins while playing a virtual reality game of her own creation.

positive · AI labelView post →we rewatched last year and it still goes hard. the Michael Wincott performance is so wild. he basically does the same bit in Strange Days, another 90s af movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Strange Days (1995) movie trailer - Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Lewis, Angela Bassett, Tom Sizemore, Vincent D'Onofrio, William Fichtner -- Fuckin' fantastic cyberpunk movie from the 90s. Dir. Kathryn Bigelow, Screenwriters James Cameron and Jay Cocks. In the distant year 1999, Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes) is a seller of digital memories who gets mixed up in a massive coverup after a couple of cops murder a rapper-slash-civil rights leader. Fans of cyberpunk should love this one. Absolutely amazing…
positive · AI labelView post →"As a film both timely and ahead of its time, the politics of STRANGE DAYS strike the body viscerally, excruciatingly, devastatingly. Decades later, we’re still reeling from its prescience."
neutral · AI labelView post →I always wanted a Mace-driven sequel to Strange Days. She was my favorite part of the movie. If you are in NYC, see this movie at BAM.
positive · AI labelView post →I tell you what, if my favorite movie performance of all time isn't Sigourney Weaver in ALIENS then it's Angela Bassett in STRANGE DAYS.
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatched Strange Days (1995). That film deserves way more love. Ralph Fiennes is brilliant, Angela Basset is cool as hell and Juliette Lewis is🔥Directed by Kathryn Bigelow from a screenplay by James Cameron. It's like a prequel to #Cyberpunk 2077. Great soundtrack too. #Filmsky #Moviesky #SciFi 📽️

positive · AI labelView post →4: Strange Days (1995). One of the most underappreciated movies of the '90s. Kathryn Bigelow directs the hell out of this sci-fi thriller; Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett & Juliette Lewis lead a stellar cast. A very grounded sort of dystopian film with Fiennes playing one of my favorite antiheroes.
