Hello,
The idea of communication and the technology involved in telecommunications too are both pretty interesting topics to me. Iβm also a fan of movies & thrillers too so Iβm currently assembling a list of movies which are conceptually based around telephone based communication or have memorable set pieces based around similar styles of communication. Here are some I have so far:
β’ Phone Booth.
β’ Cellular.
β’ Speed.
β’ Scream.
β’ When a Stranger Calls.
β’ Compliance (2012).
β’ Buried.
β’ Taken.
β’ Dirty Harry (the third act running between pay phones set piece).
β’ the phone tapping in Goodfellas.
β’ Dial M For Murder.
β’ a lot of hostage/terrorist negotiation films (Inside Man, Captain Phillips, etc).
β’ a lot of spy films (eg the phone call set piece in The Bourne Supremacy)
Iβm trying to hopefully avoid the glut of uninspired bottom of the barrel horror/thriller movies that use the phone as a plot point in uninspired ways. Instead Iβm hoping to just hear movies that I mightβve overlooked but which are still cool/original/entertaining enough to maybe check out.
Thanks!
