You (2018)
A clever bookstore manager relies on his savvy Internet know-how to make the woman of his dreams fall in love with him.
Slightly satirical tale from the point of view of a seemingly charming, but actually psychopathic stalker (and killer) is coolly directed with a well planned episodic structure and a large ensemble of characters.
Spring Breakers (2012)
Four college girls hold up a restaurant in order to fund their spring break vacation, and while partying, drinking, and taking drugs, they are arrested, only to be bailed out by a drug and arms dealer.
Slickly made morality play exacerbating the sex and violence elements of the story, and the performances are good with Franco upping the ante as the low-life drug dealer; however, basically the result is not much different than an exploitation flick from 70s or 80s.
