Alright, guys, so today I was trying to figure out what to watch, and I was in the mood for something like “Training Day.” You know, that movie with Denzel Washington? That flick is just so good. So, I started poking around to see if I could find some movies that give off the same kind of vibe.
First, I just went straight to Google and typed in something like “movies similar to Training Day.” A bunch of stuff popped up, and I started going through the results. I saw some lists, articles, that kind of thing. One article mentioned “Serpico,” which is apparently some old-school cop drama. I made a mental note to check that out later.
Then I remembered Letterboxd. I use that site all the time to keep track of what I’ve watched. They have a feature where you can find similar movies. I typed in “Training Day” and, sure enough, it gave me a whole list of similar flicks. There were like 70 movies on there!
After that, I looked up “Training Day” on a couple of streaming sites, like Netflix and Amazon, to see what they recommended. They usually have a “movies you might like” section, right? Found a few more things there.
I also stumbled upon some comments online where people were talking about the style of “Training Day.” Someone said it reminded them of Tony Scott’s films. I like his movies, so I thought, “Okay, maybe I should just look up other movies by Tony Scott.”
Finally, I found this one list that had ten movies that were supposed to be like “Training Day.” It had some movies with Denzel, like “American Gangster,” “Man on Fire,” “Flight,” and “The Equalizer.” It also had “The Book of Eli,” which I’ve seen and liked.
So, here’s what I ended up with:
- Serpico – This one seems like a classic, so I’m definitely gonna watch it.
- American Gangster – Denzel again! I haven’t seen this one.
- Man on Fire – Another Denzel movie. I remember seeing the trailer for this one a long time ago.
- Flight – Okay, I really need to catch up on these Denzel movies.
- The Equalizer – I’ve heard good things about this one.
- The Book of Eli – I already watched this, but it’s a good one, so maybe I’ll watch it again.
- Plus a bunch of other movies from that Letterboxd list. I’ll probably just pick a few that look interesting.
Anyway, that’s how I spent a good chunk of my day. It’s always fun to dig around and find new movies to watch. Hopefully, some of these will be as good as “Training Day”! Maybe I’ll do an update after watching some of them.
