[Discussion] We always regret how most of entertainment is now profit-driven, but what are films or shows that you enjoyed where the directive team had almost complete creative freedom?

  David Lynch’s Rabbits is the first to spring to mind.

  More mainstream, I understand that Michael Schur was given a lot of freedom with The Good Place.

  Swiss Army Man. A lot of the projects Daniel Radcliffe chooses fit that category.

    Thanks. I have to check what he has been up to, seems promising.

  Another one is Everything Everywhere All at Once.

  Interesting approach to the multiverse theme, solid acting (especially from actors having to play different characters), and interesting scenario that went beyond the multiverse idea to address other subjects.

  I’m going to start with Dungeons & Dragons: Honor among Thieves.

  Very solid fantasy adventure movie. Good acting, believable world, coherent tone during the whole thing, good cinematography.

  It’s a shame it was kind of a failure box office wise, it was really refreshing.
