User: I would like to explore thought provoking gritty dramas on the 20th Century.
Assistant: Help me out. What decade would you like to focus on?
User: How about the 1970s and 1980s.
Assistant: Ok. Which would you rather feel from a movie: Drained, exhausted, and transported or uplifted, inspired, and feeling good?
User: Right now, I'd prefer to feel drained, exhausted and transported.
Assistant: Ok. Here are two dramas from the 1970s that might fit the criteria you want: The Deer Hunter directed by Michael Cimino or The Godfather directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
User: Ok, but I've seen all of those. Anything else along similar lines?
Assistant: Ok. Although not a war or crime film, Kramer vs. Kramer is the story of couple in the middle of an intense divorce.
User: Ok. Yeah, I recall seeing that a long time ago, but I could see that again.
Assistant: Are there any other movies I can help you with.
User: I like smart, witty comedies that parody or satirize our culture. Do you have any suggestions?
Assistant: Office Space is a dark comedy satirizing the banal existence of office life in the late 20th century.
User: Ok, I've seen that, but I do like that type of movie.
Assistant: The Stuff is a horror comedy which satirizes consumer culture in the late 20th century.
User: That sounds interesting, but I'd need to know more about it.
Assistant: The Stuff was directed by Larry Cohen and released in 1985. The plot revolves around "The Stuff" a fictional dessert that is highly addictive to those that ingest it. The problem is that The Stuff is also a living organism that feeds off those that eat it. While mainly a horror film, it is known for it's over-the-top parody of consumer culture.
User: Interesting. Who stars in it?
Assistant: It stars Michael Moriarty as an FBI agent that investigates what really is to be found in "the Stuff".
