- Wikipedia: go to Wiki pages for shows and movies that you do like and go down a rabbit hole. You can branch out quickly by finding links to other work from the same studio, same actors, same director, same writer... There are also sometimes related works linked, or links to works that inspired the movie, and pages on general movements/scenes (ex: french new wave, Dogme 95)
- Metacritic: Good for checking in on new releases, skews towards major releases (has plenty of "indie" coverage, still big budget but stuff that isn't coming to every theater).
- Letterboxd: Follow filmmakers or critics that you like, or just browse the lists they have on there.
- Film Festival Programs: Check out what was accepted at Sundance, Toronto FF, Berlin FF, True/False FF, any other FF you may like. Usually a couple years after festival premier until there is distribution, so you should check older schedules from at least 2 years prior.
I keep loosely-categorized lists of movies and shows to watch. Whenever someone I know, or someone on a Lemmy thread, mentions a show or movie they like, I look it up. If it looks cool, I add it to the list.
Granted I'm not a huge TV or movie person, but for me this list grows faster than I can watch it.
At this point:
- Red Letter Media / Half in the Bag (especially catch-ups)
- TorrentFreak weekly roundups (those get auto-added but not monitored to my Radarr via Trakt list and I review them periodically, especially once internet scores settle)
- Recommendations on Lemmy (specific communities like bmoviebonanza)
There's a few movie collectors I follow on youtube and I consider their recommendations and reviews of bluray discs. I've also picked up at least one movie from someone talking about it during one of those wired 'tech' support videos. Following a hashtag like cinemastodon or something can also get you some organic recommendations.
Care to link the tubes?
https://www.youtube.com/@ElliotCoen for reviews of discs and boutique media, sometimes I want to watch stuff I see Corridor Crew talk about, or cinemastix. Edit: I'm very interested if anyone knows of any women out there doing film reviews or discussions. It's mostly dudes out there.
