It wish it was so

Polanski's The Ghost Writer is probably the closest in terms of feel, and some themes.. there are even some scene for scene overlaps (taxi cab shots, "kids won't starve" "you don't have any kids!"). That said, OP is correct the curse of the Ninth Gate is there are no more Ninth Gate movies.

I know what you mean, there's nothing the same or as good as The Ninth Gate. But those two films are closest I've found to the feeling of 9th Gate

In the mouth of madness and Angel´s Heart are probably the closest ones i can think off thematically. Tone wise i´d probably recommend The Game. It loses the supernatural elements but the atmosphere is similar. Same for night train to Lisbon and Ghost Writer. Nightmare Alley probably fit that bill as well somewhat...

I don't even care about the occult themes and plot, I just want comfy rare books being looked at in old rooms made of wood.

You're overhyping it and it will disappoint new viewers, just like the de Niro and hickey rourke movie. It was a tales from the crypt episode.

ghost writer nicely puts together the paranoia about being hunted (which really isn't paranoia of course), and goes more into horror than ninth gate but it's not a comfy movie at all.

>cursed to try find another movie like it and you never will
I've watched so many movies that people have shilled to me as "like Riki-Oh" and they're all fucking garbage compared to Riki-Oh, what it does is so strange and specific and perfectly executed
>>
>>220286030
Well you probably got a bunch of shitty hk martial arts movie recs. Riki Oh is NOT a martial arts flick. It's a brutal exploitation movie based around prison violence. You'd want something more like ebola virus or dog eat dog to match it.

>Monday, May 4th. Another neckbeard walked into my office. He stammered on and on about this movie he'd seen and how he wanted more. Usually clients with gigs like this were after obscure pornographic material, the kind of thing they couldn't find even on the internet.
>Not this one. It was just a normal movie to me, made by a famous director, starring a famous actor. Yet something about the aesthetics compelled this guy. He called it "comfy".
>His money is as good as anyone's. I'll start asking around, see if any of my usual stool pigeons know where a fella could score some "comfy kino" these days.

>Loves them kids just a bit too much.
>I wonder if he would even look twice at a woman like this green-eyed blonde in the film. She's the kind of girl you just want give a big old hug to, the kind you'd pick up if she was hitching a ride and wouldn't try anything on unless she started it.

That's what makes it such an objectively great film, anons. It can't be recreated.

I first watched this randomly late at night when I was a kid and was captivated by it. Forgot what it was and found it on /tv/ years back.

Not really, actually. The sex at the end just seems like an occult ritual. It's dutiful & calculated, not "erotic."

It gets a little cheesy, which a lot of people think adds to the charm but I think it's a negative. It takes away from the S tier atmosphere. It's one of my favorites still, but it had the potential to be truly great kino that it just doesn't quite live up to.
