Clockwork Orange felt incredibly weak after reading the book, what did you like about fight club?
>>7523767
I thought Boondock Saints had almost no redeeming features, I like the rest of your picks though, how many other PTA films have you seen?
>>7523743

I bought Amarula because of this movie.
My favorite is a toss-up between La Règle du jeu (1939) and The Royal Tenenbaums (2001).
I want to watch something gritty and, possibly, underrated. Recommendations?
I like films that have connotations of exploring vast possibilities on American continent + some insight into human condition
There will be Blood
Days of Heaven
Valhalla Rising
Mixed about Aguirre, I just feel like liking Herzog documentary work more.
Didn't like New World even though Malick is probably my favourite filmmaker
any more recommendation (particularly from older cinema)?
Also Joshua Oppenheimer's Look of Silence is probably best thing I ever watched (its a documentary)

Tryhards.
>>7524366
I love A Man Escaped so much and Mon Oncle is a near perfect film in my opinion. Really wonderful picks, anon. <3
The Top 10
1. Wild Strawberries (The best movie of all time.)
2. Ladri di biciclette (Hits you right in the gut.)
3. Breathless (Jump-cuts? Yes, please.)
4. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Pure visual poetry.)
5. The Dark Knight (Yes, it's a popcorn movie. No, I'm not taking it off this list!)
6. Modern Times (Chaplin at his finest. Modern times? More like Timeless.)
7. Aguirre: The Wrath of God (Haunting. Stays with you.)
8. The Shawshank Redemption (We're all in our own personal Shawshanks.)
9. Dazed and Confused (I can watch this over and over.)
10. Citizen Kane (Pretty good.)
My favorite is a toss-up between A History of the World: Part 1 and Persona.
>>7524366
>Breathless
that is his worst film
>>7524451
Oh, I'm sorry. One of his worst films.
>>7524444
what is godard's best? i think he has an 'oeuvre' that is interesting to look at as a whole but none of his individual films have blown me away as being great.
>>7523743
Red Desert
A Woman Under the Influence
>>7523901
Agreed anon. This is brutally bad.

>>7523901
pffft, those conventional films are far better than the vacuous Godard/Kiarostami/Formalistic shit
>>7524508
Haha totally anon, now let's fire up Moonrise Kingdom in the blueray!
>>7524348
but love sucked
>>7524512
meh, would rather watch that than list to Kiarostami bloviate for more than a hour about his infantile theories of film (10 on ten). Oh wow another jump cut! Great work on subverting the conventions of film, Godard. Shit and more shit. I will take real directors like Panahi or Truffaut, or even hacks like Bay, over frauds like Kiarostami or Godard.
>>7524529
>Bay over Godard
All you needed to say senpai
>>7524529
>Bay
>Hack.
Auteurs are hardly hacks.
Granted Transformers do suck but the Rock, Armageddon, and then P&G are all pretty good films.
>>7524536
watchable, yes. Great, no.
>>7524535
I'm about to watch Adieu au langage
>>7524539
>Watchable.
Ron Howard trash is watchable. Bay is good on his own right.
Ivan Kupala and Le Samourai, so far.
Taxidermia
>>7523743
uwe boll is g00d
>>7524529
i find kiarostami conventionally entertaining
>>7524543
eh, to me he is a poor mans Tony Scott or John McTiernan
>>7524529
I can tell the same about Gordard but what's wrong with Kiarostami? Most of his films I've watched are quite enjoyable
>>7524555
but he is nothing like either of them..? I do like McTiernan a lot, Die Hard is still amazing.
>tfw Christopher McQuarrie will surpass McTiernan as an overall action director very soon.
I wish McTiernan would pull a George Miller and make one final bang, like Fury Road. Too bad what happened with John's life, we got robbed of plenty of good action.
>>7524387
>Persepolis and Funeral Parade
neato
>>7524536
lol
>>7524562
I heard is planning to make new films, though jail changed him
>>7524569
I hope there will be a fury road in him left, Miller came out of nowhere (at least for me) with thatmasterpiece. He was pretty humanistic director from what I remember, wonder if jail made it even stronger in him or if he broke in there.
Now we just have to hope that some producer will still have faith in him.
>>7524562
>Christopher McQuarrie
Wrote screenplay for Edge of Tomorrow, directed and wrote screenplay for Rogue Nation, wrote and directed Jack the reacher

>Also watched Bergmann and stuff but to be honest it's not superior to films of the last couple of decades.
I vomited a bit. Half of /lit/ really has a crappy taste in film, most of these answers are the same as if asked for favorite books you would say: "LET'S BE HONEST: Harry Potter".
>>7524598
>Throne of Blood (Kurosawa meets the Bard yes pls)
I think Ran is even better Kurosawa+Shakespeare.
>Russian Ark
Nice.
>>7524426
>The Dark Knight
Otherwise fine list, but what the fuck is wrong with you? Sure it was entertaining the first time in the theater, but even the second time was boring.
>>7524623
I actually haven't made it to Ran yet. I like just about everything that I've seen from Kurosawa though, so I bet it'll be tight
>tfw watched Russian Ark in my room on the laptop with a snowstorm flying around outside
perfect experience
>>7523978
I would pick many of those also, but Bergmann has some very watchable stuff. Antonioni and company are unwatchable though
>>7524636

>>7524910

>>7524919
Spirited Away, Mad Max, Flavour of Green Tea, and 3-Iron. I haven't seen any of the others.
>>7524926

>>7525019
Good contribution.
>>7525058
It's very unique even today, mostly comprised of close-ups. Very expressive. The narrative is mostly just the feelings of the characters (usually Jeanne).
>>7525079
Do you prefer to watch it silent or with sound?
>>7525058
i am not him, and i think it is worth watching because it is an intense emotionally harrowing experience which is unashamedly expressive and over the top and if you get into it can be so beautiful, but you should also make sure to watch bresson's adaptation as well which conversely is simple, understated, and unpretentious, with a steady camera and stripped down performances that end up resonated twice as much for the restraint
it's a neat subject and both approaches work well and i think everyone should see both
>>7525109
this one was intended by the director to be watched in silence i believe
>>7525114
I heard that Dreyer just never chose specific music for it.
>>7525118
you could be right
i didn't care for the voices of light one so i ended up listening to faure requiem twice through whilst watching it which worked great desu
kek y'all losers get memed by exotic low budget foreign films

You think people who have the time and appreciation to watch 7 hours of Satantango haven't already watched tons of other movies, mainstream or not?
It doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate other kinds of films just because he doesn't mention them as his favorites, you come off as insecure about your own tastes.

I read a lot more than I watch films/movies/etc. I like late Welles a lot though.
I should probably watch some more stuff this Winter Break.
>>7525194
hey look i love satantango, and i remember being in that phase where i literally didn't bother with anything that wasn't the heaviest deepest shit ever, but it's important to also learn to appreciate the brilliance of cinema as entertainment and the spectacle and movement and raw emotion it can offer besides 'oh my god existentialism; life is so bad it's raining and love is pointless except for god in a tortuous way'
>>7525207
>Arguing about subjective tastes
>>7525215
that's what i'm here for
>>7525197
>The social network
This is the kind of movie that I'd only want to watch once. How many times have you seen it?
>>7525207
I'm not him (or you obviously) but I think that anon could probably spend some time reading some early Modern plays like Ibsen or maybe some good Victorian era novels by Trollope, Dickens, Austen, etc. (not the Brontes)
I think that after Joyce and co. (who I love collectively) we got to see a lot of this "art for the sake of art, be a snob or go home" attitude. Even Joyce wasn't like this. Old school "intellectualism" before 1900 was less of this and more of "I know Greek and can recite 1000 lines of Homer. I know Latin and can recite the odes of Horace entirely. I know..." and even the most "intellectual" minds (like AE Housman) wrote unintellectual poetry or novels. Joyce's Ulysses for fuck's sake wasn't written with a pretentious air, even if it comes off as it.
well I'm probably off track at this point in the post, but I'll go back to my point I probably didn't make: even the "great" filmmakers and writers and poets read mostly for enjoyment, read everything they could (except for trash, but even that gives lessons), etc.
kek I bet this post is a disaster but I don't know how to say what I'm thinking. up for you to figure out I guess
>>7525223
once
>>7525227
You think those films are pretentious and can't be watched for entertainment? Go back to your books. (or did I completely misunderstand you)
>>7525232
i'm the first critical guy, not the guy you're replying to, and i have literally enjoyed every one of those films apart from the man who sleeps which i haven't seen (and it looks neat and i will see it soon)
i'm just saying, don't just watch one kind of film. yes, you can get a glorious fucking aesthetic hit from watching a sincere troubled tarkovsky monk revel in the creation of pure art in the form of a bell cast by a young idealistic artist, or the restrained tedium of a housewive's lightswitch routine gradually dissolving as her psyche does OR WHATEVER but that's not the only thing film offers. it's close minded to concentrate exclusively on esoteric arthouse fare and it speaks of a narrow taste that is best exploded
>>7525232
>(or did I completely misunderstand you)
you did but that's my fault and not yours
I still don't know how to bring across what I mean and at this point it's probably not worth the effort
so happy new years and enjoy books/movies in the new year!
How do you guys balance your time between cinema and literature? For the past month, I've seen like 30 films and haven't even finished a single book.
>>7525169
Honestly you should shut your fucking mouth you piece of shit
>>7525246
And I was exactly trying to say that, even if those are his favorite films, surely he has already seen thousands of films that aren't esoteric arthouse, even just to be able to appreciate them. I'm saying that anyone who has watched Satantango (e.g.) surely doesn't just watch one kind of film, it almost already requires for you to be a film buff who doesn't have a narrow taste, to even be able to appreciate this stuff. THOSE ARE JUST HIS FAVORITES, IT DOESN'T REPRESENT EVERYTHING HE WATCHES. Sorry, I'm a bit drunk.
>>7525246
I love Robocop, Braindead and Airplane!, but I wouldn't count them in my Top 10 favorites, doesn't mean I only appreciate B&W european arthouse.
>>7525284
>>7525285
i think i'm mainly just arguing against past me
there was a stage when i was first smitten with these types of film where i decided it was the best thing ever and anything hollywood or fun or colourful was banal fucking shit. i had of course watched lots of other popular films beforehand, but after getting the arthouse bug i decided i had been a fool and taken in by pleb entertainment and that only the best fucking foreign directors were worth watching, the more fucking depressing the plot (or better still, the lack thereof) and expressionistic the visuals the better
now i feel like was a pretentious cunt and i try to persuade what seem like previous incarnations of me to not be such narrow minded pretentious cunts because as it happens i am also very drunk happy new year i'm sorry

Ein Atem (One Breath in German)
Pietà

>>7525315
Dogtooth is really good.
>>7523872

>>7525315
Forgot to add Eating Raoul to the second list.
>>7523743
The Boys from Fengkuei
Buffalo 66

I have a couple Chris Marker films on DVD I've yet to watch, I'm waiting to see Christiane F. and The Fan as well, and a couple other of the Taiwanese new wave classics. Will get around to them eventually.
>>7525368
Forgot Stranger Than Paradise (most Jarmusch)
>>7523767
>>7525223
Not that guy, but I've seen it over ten times. I consider it to be a great movie. While there are definitely better movies out there, the Social Network's quality is the kind that you don't often find in big budget releases. Fincher's kind of known for being a director who doesn't make deep or artistic movies, but still makes very well made movies.
His movies are great for watching with friends or relatives who aren't as into film as you might be. The stories are very accessible yet compelling, and the technical aspects such as cinematography, lighting, and acting are far above average.
>Once Upon A Time In Anatolia
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1827487/
>Winter Sleep
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2758880/
>Delicatessen
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101700/
>>7525403
It's not that great, even just out of Fincher's films.
>>7525408
>Once Upon A Time In Anatolia
Respect
>>7525411
It is Fincher's best by far.
>>7525408
delicatessen is such a shitty meme film when compared to ceylan. it's weird that you'd pick that and literally nothing else to supplement those two films
who /3x3/ here
tv is dead
>>7525424
I know, but, I like it's atmosphere, idk.
>>7525422
still worse than any of Paul Thomas Anderson's films
>>7525444
TWBB is such a bore. Yeah we get the message and it's shot in a boring fashion, Fincher's TSN is up tehre with Mann, Lynch from US film makers when it comes to handling digital and that movie is pinnacle of cinema digital
>>7525448
>and it's shot in a boring fashion
wait no it's not
>>7525448
Wait, I meant Paul W.S. Anderson, of course. Always get them mixed.
>>7523916
It's a bait (I hope)
The New World
The Master
The Sea Inside
The Place Beyond The Pines
Apocalypto
The Big Lewbowski
Unforgiven
Ran
Vertigo
Zorba The Greek
Beyond The Black Rainbow
Easy Rider
Days of Heaven
Manhattan
The Red Balloon
White Mane
I'm reading Sculpting in Time at the moment and Ihave access to Solaris and Andrei Rublev? What should I watch first? Should I finish the book?
>>7525426
What are the films?
3x3 is great for stuff you know but when you haven't seen the films it's a pain in the ass trying to figure out what they are
>>7525448
>shot in a boring fashion
There Will Be Blood has some of the most exhilarating scenes of the last decades.
>>7525474
>The Big Lewbowski
Why is this so overrated? It's not Coen's best by far. Just because it's one of the rare critically acclaimed comedies?
Moonrise Kingdom
Leon the Professional
The Lovely Bones
Salo
Only God Forgives
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
End of Evangelion
Blue Velvet
>>7525481
the big lebowski has such a great fascination with language and the way cultural memes are transmitted. shit like the big lebowski saying 'this aggression will not stand!' or the 'coitus' stuff or whatever. it's such a great movie to watch for people adapting the speech of others without fully understanding it and appropriating it.
it's very knowingly and hilariously done and deserves its place on a literature board
>he's a nihilist? that must be exhausting
>>7525448
Paul Thomas Anderson never shoots in a boring fashion. You might say you don't like his pacing, or you think the plot is slow, but don't talk shit about his camera work. It's some of the best I've seen in modern films.
>>7525463
TWBB is pretty safe movie. Same old message about USA, religion, money that we've watched since the 1900.
>>7525470
Unironically think he is more daring and has more unique vision than PTA. I do not think he is very good but is more interesting than PTA.
>>7525478
More like some Leone worship in cinematography at start and then couple of 'yup that sure is staging blocking and framing' shit in there that detracts from the movie and adds nothing to it.
>>7525499
>Unironically think he is more daring and has more unique vision than PTA. I do not think he is very good but is more interesting than PTA.
Sorry, didn't realise I was talking to an actual pleb.
>>7525506
PWSA is auteur, nothing pleb about having distinct and rather unique style.
>>7525517
PWSA is like a mix between Uwe Boll and Michael Bay, sure they're all unique, but that doesn't make any of them good.
>>7525531
Michael Bay and PWSA both have done good movies.
>>7525517
I have only seen the first 2 Resident Evil films, Soldier, and AVP, did not care for them except for Soldier. I have seen some people and critics claim he is the top tier of vulgar auteurs. What is his best film?
>>7523743
two thousand and meme: a meme odyssey
inherent meme
brazil
Citizen meme
Pulp Meme
>>7525499
Paul W.S. Anderson > PTA
Do you by any chance read Armond White reviews anon?
>>7525537
no inglorious memes?
>>7523743
R8 and h8
Full Metal Jacket
Jaws
Jurassic Park
Blade Runner
Goodfellas
Scarface
The Wicker Man (1973)
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Last Crusade
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Gladiator
>>7525544
Dad rock of film
>>7525534
So you've seen a basic thriller from PWSA that was by all rights lacking in any directorial vision and then Resident Evil which he didn't even direct.
>top tier of vulgar auteurs.
Not that good. Not top tier in anything. Good? If you like that sort of stuff, I guess. Director with his own style? Definitely. All of his later Resident Evil films dance around same ideas and themes with direction progressing in each one (it's a pass for me with Retribution and Afterlife which is better).
Pompeii; I've only seen once but it's a worth a shot. The ending, I really want to watch it again for that.
>>7525540
No.
>>7525536
I just happen to enjoy Armageddon and P&G. Bad Boys II aint too bad either.

Because most of them like crap.

You didn't even pick the best LOTR film
>>7525687
how do you know that they haven't just decided on those crap films after seeing 3000+ other films?
i don't grasp how someone not sharing your tastes necessarily means them not having seen 3000 films
>>7525408
