As a film patrican i entered /tv/ for the first time expecting to find something worthy, the first thing i saw besides all those sci-fi idiots that use Netflix on a daily basis was this shit-thread.
I hope you guys don't let me down...
What's your favourite film, /mu/?
>>53727201
kill yourself
The Room
>>53727201
sponge bob and fight club
Persona
>>53727201
Your least favorite movie
American Psycho, dubs confirm
Pup Fiction of course. Tarantino is a huge inspiration to me.
>>53727201
Vertigo.
>As a film patrican
I think you should probably answer the "what's your favourite film" question before any of us do
And include a reason why it's your favourite, since you're such a patrican
The newest three stooges
>>53727256
(not the probably shitty anime, 1966's Persona)
>>53727201

I guarantee I've seen more classic, arthouse, popcorn, foreign, and underappreciated movies than you have and my favorite film is a tie between John Carpenter's The Thing and The Evil Dead 2
[spoiler]I also like to Banepost[/spoiler]
Taxi Driver
Sorry
>>53727290
pic related is the best film i've seen so far, but Ingmar Bergman's "Persona", Hiroshi Teshigahara's "Suna no onna" and Victor Erice's "The Spirit of the Beehive" come close.
Tarkovsky's poetry with Stalker went far beyond moving pictures and sound to inquire into both the human existence and the purpose of movies itself, with some of the most breathtaking scenarios i've ever seen and some of the greatest exchanges of dialogues you could possibly find in storytelling.
die hard
>>53727201

>>53727545
Sorry, forgot pic.
There ya' go...
>>53727201
The first hour of The Machinist was probably my favourite, but the ending kinda went a little downhill, probably because I was super fucking high and I can't focus on movies while high
Other than that, either Crank, or How To Lose Friends and Alienate People

Mad props for Teshigahara, although I prefer The Face of Another to Woman in the Dunes if I'm honest
As for me, mine's either The Baby of Mâcon (pic related), Last Year at Marienbad, or Mulholland Drive.

Good to know that /mu/ acts like pretentious faggots about all art and not just their "superior" taste in music.
Really? Tarkovsky made your FAVORITE movie? Really? Mirror is beautiful, possibly the closest thing to poetry on screen. Andrei Rublev is a tremendous film. But that's what you put on after a hard day at work?
Resnais? You want to study film form to relax?
I'm earning my PhD in Cinema/Media Studies and I'll be the first to tell you that a great film doesn't necessarily mean it should register as being a favorite.
When I want to watch a movie for the sake of it, I'll go with Star Wars for the 5,000th time before I turn to watching Persona again. Give me Indiana Jones before Haeneke. I'd rather watch Keaton than King Vidor.
Who the fuck are you trying to impress, /mu/? This board is essentially strangers on the internet and even then you can't shake off acting like a know-it-all dickhead.
ITT: faggots of the highest caliber. Nobody gives a fuck about your shit tier artsy films you limp wristed flamers.
>>53727201
Stalker kind of like Soundtracks for the blind in Movie form
>calling people pleb
>favorite film is some plebby mu core equivalent
>>53727867
Aw shit yeah, I love videodrome
>>53727884
I dunno, I stand by my choice.. I'm honestly riveted watching Lawrence of Arabia every time, but then again I grew up doing so.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
or
Train Spotting
Those are the ones that fascinated me most anyway. For pure enjoyability, LotR saga (obvs not the Hobbit).
>>53727735
Those are some great picks, haven't seen The Baby of Mâcon, but i'll sure add it to my watchlist.
Tonight i need to watch Sergei Parajanov's Sayat Nova.
trois coleurs: bleu or pic related
Has anyone here seen Whiplash btw?
Did you dig the ST?
>>53727941
Lawrence of Arabia I can understand. It straddles that line between art and entertainment perfectly. At the very least it has enough of a narrative structure that you can jump in anywhere, after having seen the film, and enjoy the experience.
I'm talking about some of the more abstract choices here which are obviously only posted as an act of impressing others with the supposed depth of taste these faggots believe they have.
David Lean fucking rules, but I wish his films weren't so loooooong.
Top 10
Chinatown
Vertigo
Nostalghia
Manhattan
Blade Runner
Touch of Evil
Persona
After Hours
La Dolce Vita
>>53727201
Syberberg's Hitler. (no joke)
>>53727884
>Haeneke
I personally don't understand how people can enjoy his films. They're disgusting
Im glad that I've seen them,he's very skilled, can gross you out on a human level without the use of graphic content etc. but srsly
i never see myself watching any of them again. His films are always an experience, one that i don't want to repeat
Fight Club
No, I don't think it's the profound 2deep4u masterpiece that teenagers make it out to be. I just like it. Film isn't really my thing.
>>53728009
Woops
Eraserhead
>>53727606
because I'm annoyed
>>53727545
Solid taste, my fellow film patrician. My favorite Tarkovsky is "Alexander Rublev", but my favorite movie of all time must be Pradanov's "Sayat Nova".
Robocop and Groundhog Day
>>53727884
I've never said i watch Stalker after a hard day of work, after a hard day of work i'll probably sleep or watch something by Keaton or Chaplin.
The way i determine my favorite movie is by measuring my enjoyment of the experience, how joyful it was and how much i feel like i could go trough it again. Circunstances are pretty relative...
>>53727201
Synecdoche NY, Persona, Clockwork Orange, 2001, Brazil
i think it's likely that /mu/ has way better taste in films than /tv/
i wish there was a board for motion picture patricians
>>53727735
last year at the marienbad is dogshit
My favourite tarkovsky is andrei rublev.
Mirror is also pretty good
It's a tie between Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and A Scanner Darkly.
get out you hipster mugs
>>53727574
pic is from Stalker tho
>>53727884
Videodrome just is so comfy yet so unsettling to me at the same time
It feels almost more like a play then it does a movie at points
>>53727884
What the fuck are you talking about? It may be hard to believe, but people can genuinely enjoy both Tarkovsky and Spielberg for entertainment
This is just like saying "You listen to jazz for fun? You must be pretending!"
You're the pretentious one

mah nigga, Marienbad is 50 first days for French snobs, way overrated formalist exercise
>>53728128
love the coen brothers but i thought this movie was total shit
john turturro was fantastic in it, tho
>>53728000
Agreed, Bridge Over the River Kwai was another strong contender for my response here. Also I love Alec Guiness, so that aids in my love for David Lean movies lol.
As for the pretense, I think some of the more insecure among us take "favorite" to mean "best one I can think of, which I can defensibly say I've seen"
>>53727884
>But that's what you put on after a hard day at work?

Have fun anon
>>53728113
>last year at the marienbad is dogshit
Thanks for your input friend
Can you explain why?
>>53728156
Someone who doesn't know Bergman or Tarkovsky shouldn't really be deciding whether someones patrician or not
>>53728196
>>53728000
>implying Brief Encounter isn't David Lean's best
I'm a film pleb, but I really liked Relatos Salvajes (Wild Tales). I actually loved it.
Clockwork Orange, Andrei Rublev, There Will Be Blood, Blade Runner, and Magnolia are muh top 5 i guess
Adaptation
Koyaanisqatsi
Clean, Shaven
>>53728196
What does favourite mean then if not the one you personally think is the best? Serious question here, I'm not a native English speaker.
>>53728218
>Dogville
I've been meaning to watch that for so fucking long. I haven't watched any von Trier, but Dogville and Idioterne both have amazing concepts. Also heard good things about Nymphomaniac.
>>53728218
>/tv/ is shit
couldn't agree more
its like all of the worst parts of /mu/ combined
too many maymays, waifus, 2deep4u :^), and too much shitposting
>>53728250
Two PTA films is a bit much
Stop liking Magnolia
>>53728231
Who said I don't know them? Perhaps I don't have a score for either of them? I'd give "Wild strawberries" a 10/10, "The seventh seal" 8/10, "Summer with Monica" 5/10, should I continue?
>>53728274
Favorite to watch; which you enjoy the most. Not 'best' as in 'most intellectually impressive to my peers'
>>53728274
It means he's an idiot
>>53728250
The only two good parts of There Will Be Blood is when that dude gets bitch slapped and the milkshake scene. Everything else about that movie was pretty bad. Overall it's incredibly overrated.
>>53728239
>implying Doctor Zhivago isn't Lean's best
Brief Encounter doesn't hold a candle to his epics.
>>53728331
In other words, you have a short attention span
>>53728305
To me, there's a pretty big difference between what movies fascinate me and which I find enjoyable. Movies can be art and they can be entertainment (not mutually exclusive though). Just like any creative art form.
There Will Be Blood
>>53728156
>crazy high ratings
>not nearly patrician enough
>>53728248
ahh it'll probably never get a theatre release here but I can't wait to see that
>>53728331
>this is what plebs actually believe
>>53728352
M'kay, if you like pomp and spectacle over great acting and an actual human story, sure.
>>53728374
The implication being that anyone who has an art film as a favorite is pretending
Nah, fuck off
>>53728331
>implying that the baptism scene isn't great
you have no idea what you're talking about
>>53728175
Trois Coleurs: Bleu is a nearly great film, too bad it's becoming an "entry-level" artsy fartsy movie.
Funeral Parade of Roses was a really shocking experience for me, even after watching Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.
I'm not a very big fan of rating movies "/10", but those picks are at least above an 8.
>>53728401
The implication being that those who exclusive purport art films as their favorite, and decry anything else, are pretending.
Fuck on?
>>53728274
this is not about language. you can accept one film/album as the absolute best, but like others for some reasons more.
>>53728390
It's fun, tense, anxious, comical, and at times tragical. There are 6 short stories, each one being about taking human anger to it's limit, but going through different economic classes.
>>53728401
No, my point was the exact opposite anon... I'm trying to say that choosing an art film as your favorite is perfectly valid, since fascination and provocation are also ways of judging films.
I however believe that you should be open to both.
>>53728379
>implying Vertigo is not a perfect movie, however you rate it
>>53727201
Béla Tarr
;)
>>53728428
>Funeral Parade of Roses was a really shocking experience for me
care to elaborate a little?
I dont really have a favourite movie cos I haven't seen enough good ones :(
>>53728398
You're right, there's no humanity in Lawrence, Zhivago, and River Kwai. None whatsoever.
The beauty of those movies is that they perfectly combine spectacle (some of the best ever put onscreen) with compelling human stories placed within even more compelling historical contexts. Brief Encounter is a glorified date movie which only receives the praise it gets from academics and critics because of the greater films that Lean went on to make and because it used flashback effectively (though other films had achieved this earlier).

>>53728450
all the praise has got me even more excited because I have never ever seen an anthology film that actually works as a cohesive piece.
it's also got a great cast pedigree. all those actors/producers have done great things in the past so I know I'm in good hands.
Its such a beautiful day
Pink Flamingos, House, Suspiria. the holy trinity.
>>53728512
I'll accept your point on Kwai, though I never said there was NO humanity in those three movies. It's just not the same ilk as Brief Encounter.
Regarding your second point, while being my favorite David Lean movie, as much as I enjoy Lawrence, I'd never call Brief Encounter groundbreaking or anything. It's just a good movie, my favorite David Lean flick. Period.
>>53728554
Her tits are great in Don't Look Now.
Female movie stars in the 1960s-70s were so much fucking hotter than actresses today.
>>53728558
The only thing I didn't liked about the movie was the ending of the last story, but other than that, the last story was still exciting and the other stories too.
If you have ever seen a film with a similar tense/anxious/shocking mood, please let me know!
My favorite films are The Threepenny Opera, Death by Hanging and Through the Olive Trees.
Princess Mononoke and The Godfather are some films I watched recently and (still) loved. Not so much into cinema this days.
>>53728531
>oldboy
I watched the American version first without knowing about the Korean version. A friend of mine then showed me the original, refusing to believe that I thought the American one was good. I thought they were both pretty great, but in different ways. Both are worth watching in my opinion.

I like eye candy and melodrama more than anything and I have super yellow fever so that's probably why I like wong kar wai and akira kurosawa and lee chang dong
I always wanted to get into movies more but I just don't have the time
>>53728485
The juxtaposition of sexual implications with a really urbanized staging seemed to me like an extended version of Luis Buñuel's A Chien Andalou in terms of the way it gets to making a commentary about the masochistic nature of transvestites, wich went a little over the top presenting some of its ideas in certain moments, at least for me.
I really loved Oldboy, the original korean film, not the botched remake a couple years back.

You're both saying that liking both art and "entertainment" films is perfectly valid. I agree and that's fine to say, but my original point was against people who dismiss anyone who's really into art films as having superficial taste. Tell me, when do you decide someone is just liking art films to seem cool or whatever? How many of their top 10 need to be art films?
The thing is, you're saying it's only a problem when someone dismisses non-art filmss as universally garbage. That's bullshit. That's such a small percentage of cinema fans compared to how many you fans call pretentious even when they say nothing to disparage non-art films in the first place. They like Bunuel or skmething and that's enough
>>53727201
The average /mu/ tween's favorite movie is Lost in Translation, that should give you an idea.
>>53728825
I only listen to music when I'm driving or at work lately
it really doesn't take any time out of my life at all anymore
I find it stupid how some people here think that everyone who mentions an "art film" as their favourite is automatically a pretentious faggot. I love Stalker, Hour of the Wolf and 8½ but I also love Life of Brian, Repo Man and High Fidelity. If I had to mention just one favourite it would be Stalker but that doesn't mean I dislike all non-art films.

OP here, i also love Monty Python, "The Meaning Of Life" might be their most consistent movie, but "Life Of Brian" is the one i found to be the funniest.
a lot of Tarkovsky love here already so I'll say The Flight (Alov & Naumov) as my runner-up since more people need to see it
>>53728865
I guess I haven't made myself clear then. I'm saying that you _in general_ shouldn't disregard either type of films. I'm not saying that because someone's favorite film is an art film, that's all they watch. You really can't say much about a person's general taste in film from just a handful of favorites.
Basically, I think we agree.
>>53728887
This is what I was saying. Someone mentions their favorite and you guys ASSUME they hate other kinds of films, then you pretend "Oh we only hate them when they hate other kinds of movies"

Now, as for me, I like Eraserhead a lot, Stalker has a similar feel to me but also totally different, both have god-tier sound editing, by the way.
I also like Monthy Pyton a lot, especially Life Of Brian, the Coen brothers, Jim Jarmusch (that is from Down By Law to Only Lovers Left Alive)

Solaris is one of the best films I've ever seen, man, but I hate the part when the man is on the highway, I mean, I understand that it represents the transition between two worlds but

Probably, Zerkalo (The Mirror) or Doctor Zhivago
>>53729177
>Am I the only one who liked White over Red and Blue?
probably not, but I'm curious as to why, I thought it was not nearly as good as the other two. Red is my favorite.

Mr. Vengeance has a much better ending. It's overall more satisfying and tragic I think
>>53729148
Hm really? I know it's technically two episodes, but they never didn't come as one package.
>>53729125
would also add Mean Streets, The White Ribbon, and The Bridge (Die Brücke), german film from the 50s
Top 10 as of 31/01/2015 (not in a paticular order) (viewed since January 10, 2014)
-Nashville (Altman, 1975)
-The Red Shoes (Powell & Pressburger, 1948)
-City Lights (Chaplin, 1931)
-Vertigo (Hitchcock, 1958)
-The Night Of The Hunter (Laughton, 1955)
-The Battle Of Algiers (Pontecorvo, 1966)
-Alien (Scott, 1979)
-Paris, Texas (Wenders, 1984)
-Sunrise (Murnau, 1927)
-Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Hughes, 1986)
I know that they are pretty safe choices, but I'm just getting into cinema. Also, where the hell can I download decent quality Tarkovsky?
>>53729262
Tarkovsky makes everything too long
He's good at it
>>53729093
What's wrong with Good Burger? that film deserves to be at the top of the list. It was a modern story about capitalism in America and how chain restaurants sometimes have to compete with higher establishments. What's garbage about that?
This movie was spectacular.
>>53729348
He's obviously just a racist
I have a few, I don't have a single favorite anymore.
Sonatine, Head, Gojira, Manhunter, Winter Light, Easy Rider.
Calling yourself a patrician/film buff/any of that shit is really sad and weird, hth
>>53729009
>Avatar
>titles in non-latin characters
>Herzog and not Aguirre or My Best Friend
>No Ozu, Fellini or Bergman
definition of trying too hard
(I seriously hope this is bait)
>>53728680
>>53729274
found the plebs
This is one of my favorite
/mu/lholland drive
>>53729334
>Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Good list except for this. I actually like teenage flicks but this was real shit. I think this was one of the few films I walked away from.
>>53729009
this is next level posting
Hey /mu/, was gonna ask this on tv but i figure you guys might have better recs. What are some films like taxi driver which feature a lonely/depressed main character. Somethign with strong isolation themes
basically this album: the movie
>>53729286
Is raging bull good? I don't usualyl find fighting films entertaining..
Dead Snow 2
the bicycle thief is the best film ever made and if you think otherwise you're a doodoo head
>>53729503
It's not a fighting film, it's a film about a boxer
Yes it's good
>>53729307
I know, I guess it's cause I watched it only a few days after finishing the anime, so it just felt like an extension of the series. Also, I really thoroughly enjoyed the original finale.
>>53729423
I couldn't really say why, but that movie makes me happy. On the other hand, the breakfast club is shit.
>>53729503
>I don't usualyl find fighting films entertaining...
>Raging Bull
>>53729259
Illuminate me oh my patrician companion
>>53729273
I don't know, White got me because it was poignant and I sort of enjoyed the feel it gave. I found Red to be too happy (even though it gave a nice closure to it) and Blue was sort of too sad. I'm not sure I really explain myself, I just liked the main character a lot and I watched it a long time ago anyway. Might re-watch them anytime soon.
>>53729304
Haven't seen it, will do, though.
>>53729334
try rutracker
>>53729262
apparently when asked for why that scene was so long Tarkovsky said something along the lines of "so the people who went into the wrong theater leave"
>>53727759
I do not get the love for Solaris. I found it had a ton of wasted potential in exploring the themes it set up, and the "romance" was the weakest writing I have seen in his films. It got caught-up in the scientific exposition when it would have worked so much better as mysterious, with the ocean feeling like a powerful, inescapable, illogical entity. It's probably just about tied for my least favorite of his, maybe just above Ivan's Childhood.
2001
Persona
Blade runner
The seventh seal
The Pianist
>>53729553
>try rutracker
Isn't rutracker only music. He didn't say Tchaikovsky.
>>53729524
>>53729539
honeestly m8s i just read the imbd thing and assumed it was a rocky-tier boxing movie
i'll give it a watch later I think.
>>53729514
It's a great film, but not the kind that you'd choose as your favorite imo
>>53729467
you might enjoy Nightcrawler, he's not depressed though
Raging Bull maybe?
Eraserhead?
It depends on what you're looking for
>>53729557
i love the seventh seal and persona
nice taste
Rashomôn and Ida at the moment
>>53729238
Napoleon, Pandora's Box and The Wind, though Dreyer is the one you're looking for.
>>53727829
What do you listen to mr. Patrician?
>>53729574
There's something about tiny directors who diddle kids that's just magic
Polanski, Allen, Chaplin, Scorsese, the list goes on and on
>>53729588
well it's either that or jeanne dielman
Jacob's Ladder
Blue Velvet
The super mario bros movie
They Live
In the Mouth of Madness
scott pilgrim vs. the world it appeals to all my interests, it's pretty funny, and it's got some nice theme. good job edgar wright and bryan lee o malley
oh and the soundtrack is kick ass
>>53729594
Love nightcrawler and eraserhead. good examples of what im looking for. I'll check out raging bull. thanks
>>53729581
no, it has films. I know who Tarkovsky is. I got my copy of The Mirror on rutracker, and it has pretty good subtitle tracks.
>>53729619
This one in my watchlist. Is it that good?
>>53729553
>apparently when asked for why that scene was so long Tarkovsky said something along the lines of "so the people who went into the wrong theater leave"
Well didn't know that, thanks.
Also he said once that in the first screening of Zerkalo, nobody could understand what was about, even the film critcs, just one lady who was cleaning the room
TOTORO
>>53729177
>do you like Mulholland Drive over Eraserhead?
Definitely, by far
I mean, Eraserhead is amazing in its own way, but Mulholland Drive just does it for me. If you forced me at gunpoint to pick just one of those three to declare my #1 of all time, I think Mulholland would be it.
>Would you still choose it if Twin Peaks was eligible?
I feel like this is a massive faux pas for someone who'd consider himself a Lynch fan, but I've never watched Twin Peaks
So I can't say
Also, Blue will always be my favourite of the Three Colours, but I can definitely understand White being your favourite. There's something beautifully endearing about the light-hearted and innocent tone that the film represents
>>53729627
>Jacob's Ladder

I'm the guy that asked, and I think that I did try Rutracker but found nothing, just a bunch of OSTs
>>53729641
this movie, i like it
>>53729467
Can't think of many.
Le samourai
Repulsion
Drive
>>53729629
I think it's pretty good but I hate the people that it appeals to so fuck yoou!
>>53729660
i think so yeah as long as a 3hr movie isn't too long for you.
it's really fascinating to see someone slowly crumble, particularly a perfectionist like jeanne
Terminator 2 and District 9

try searching for "Тapкoвcкий" instead of "Tarkovsky"
>>53729774
fuck yeah d9
elysium was completely underrated
>>53729758
but... doesn't it appeal to you?
Silence of the Lambs or Midnight in Paris
>>53729771
I'd need to be in the mood, but I can deal with that. Thank you, anon.
>>53729604
Thanks. Bergman is one of my favorites.
>>53729795
Fuck, thank you anon, much appreciated
>>53729823
Not at all I just enjoy it
