I know it's generally not permitted here, but I'm trying anyway.
I have a project with my girlfriend of watching the most interesting movies possible per year. Now we are at 1940 and there are some films we want to see, but cannot find. If I can pay online to rent these films, it would be fine by me, it doesn't have to be free.
I have tried online, at my local libraries, with no success. So if some of you know where to find any of these 2 films, send me a message or tell me, I'd highly appreciate it.
The 2 films are: The Mortal Storm and Remember the Night (I also leave the IMDB ID for both films)
Thanks!

Not a favorite - Bullet Train, which wants to be a Quentin Tarantino movie but ends up being a David Leitch movie. The object of desire is a steel suitcase full of money and gold, fairly cheesy as these things go, but it gets used a lot to deflect bullets. Brad Pitt is not bad, as Brad Pitt, the rest of the cast is functional. The ads mention Sandra Bullock, but she just shows up for a few minutes, mainly putting her latest plastic surgery on display. Oh well.
A variety of gangster bad guys are competing to get the suitcase and Pitt's character is some sort of good guy, but it doesn't really matter since what they mainly do is to carve a wake of bloody shootings, decapitations, stabbings, clubbings and tosses-off-buildings around Japanese cities.
I knew what the movie would be, expected it to be that strange genre of entertaining bloodbath, but it mainly was a bloodbath. It had its moments of humor, but it's not high on my list.

"I thought it was not that good. I'm middling on the genre itself, the humor of violent death, but there are plenty of movies of that sort where there's enough humor to outweigh the squirting arteries and severed limbs. Pitt's charm couldn't outweigh the rest of the cast, which seemed like extras in a TV show. When I finally DID see Bullock, I kept focusing on her new nose."

Road rage films mostly still work for me as I generally feel stressed behind the wheel. But on the minus side, everything now reminds me of Wild Tales’ Crime of Passion segment, to an unhelpful comedic effect.
This is pretty good, but unlike any Nordic film I’ve seen (off the top of my head), it’s ridiculously preachy. Drive slowly, follow the speed limit. I can understand the narrative about not insulting other drivers as in Wild Tales, but it really is up to the man if he wants to drive fast. Weird concept.
As a few reviews have noted, “do what the angry man says” is a strange message.

I don’t entirely “get” the supposed psychology of this film. The voiceover is also incredibly weird.
Another part of me however thinks this is a May/Carrie-type snobbery of lonely/introverted/socially awkward people, which is understandable, but an odd thing to become aware of.

Very unusual and memorable film. Reminds me of The Killing Gene/WAZ conceptually, but this is much more accomplished.

Someone asked me, this morning, how the flick was. I could not waste a good snarky retort, so here it goes.

I feel much better now about having bailed out of seeing it twice. I was about twenty feet away from the cinema having dinner and I just couldn’t do it.
