Thoughts?
>03. Mad Max: Fury Road
Can they get any more pleb?
>>63087503
Like half of these aren't from this year.
>>63087540

fucking hell what a shit year
>No Youth
>>63087540
At least it's not number one
>>63087560
Carol was fantastic.
>that no. 17
>download Hong Kong's The Assassin 2015
>get hyped as fuck
>it was actually Korea's The Assassination 2015
>there's also a British Assassin 2015
Is Hollywood officially out of ideas?
>it follows
Is this some kind of ruse?
I'm glad HHH is getting the recognition he deserves. The Assassin was a goddamn masterpiece.
Can't wait for Cemetery of Splendour.
>>63087672
I've never watched one of his films because i'm a pleb, is it a good starting place?
>>63087659
This. It Follows was one of the very few movies I couldn't finish watching this year.
>>63087720
Characters who actually have sex trigger you?
>>63087720
you should have binge watched it or watched it in 2.5x
>>63087503
>>03. Mad Max: Fury Road
>>63087729
I don't think it's that, because I loved Love and Nymphomaniac.
>>63087720
Not enough jump scares for you?
The assassin was a 6/10 flick with amazing cinematography. Youth and Love are better
>>63087684
No, start with Millenium Mambo
Also make sure you watch it with the proper set of mind and atmosphere, his films are VERY slow and rather confusing.
>>63087788
you seem like a redditor
upboat 2 u good sir ;^)
>>63087801
Alright, thanks for the advice.

Surprising, but I'm not sure if it would work as well on rewatch so I could be biased.

>>63087741
>>63087756
If it was actually that good you needn't be so defensive.
Watch Halloween, then watch It Follows. Then you will realize how hilariously unremarkable it is in every way, and how everything good it does is "influenced" by another (better) film.
>>63087503
>Everyone was, in one way or another, ravished
>>63087871
>Halloween
Listen grandpa
Halloween is a national classic now and you can't tell people to watch halloween because so many horror movies ripped off of it that it almost seem like a parody movies that's coming out.
Basically you can't watch halloween anymore without getting bored because it's been so played out or copied
>>63087919
ripped off of it that it's almost seem like a parody of horror movies of the 90's***
>>63087919
I'm 24.
And I realize Halloween has been done to death. I didn't say "lol go watch Halloween kid", I mean watch Halloween and then IMMEDIATELY watch It Follows. Ask yourself why a movie is being held up as such an example of good horror when it does nothing but parrot classics. It's not anything new, it's Frankenstein's monster wearing lipstick.
>>63087672
The list is absolutely terrible.
>Mad Max
>It follows
>Inside Out
All of these above Horse Money. They simply have no standards. Seems more like a circlejerk of sunday matinee flicks rather than a serious summary of the great films released this year.
And I loved The Assassin, but Hard to be a God should've been the number 1 by a landslide.
>>63087983
>hoe dare any mainstream normie movies be on a Sight & Sound list reeeeeee
>>63087983
>he can't appreciate good mainstream movies
This is just the Cannes list with a slight variation
>>63087503
>01. The Assassin
TOP
FUCKING
KEK
>>63088064
Well, it is the most important film festival.
A bunch of shit I don't care about, I'd rather stay pleb rather than watching movies to pretend I'm smart on /tv/.
>>63087871
>It Follows is bad because a horror movie from the 70s that was nothing like it exists
>>63087649
Since Shakespeare started writing plays.
>>63087503
Where the fuck is Youth? Fuck that list
Cahiers du cinéma top 10 2015
1. Mia Madre

4. The Smell of US
5. Mad Max Fury Road
6. Jauja
7. Inherent Vice
8. Arabian Nights

Still sucking Clark and Garrel. If Bridge of Spies was out it would be in the top 10.
>>63088081
Why even post in this thread then? There are lots of Star Wars and Avengers threads.
When the fuck is Carol going to leak?
Blackhat nowhere to be seen.

Just wanna make sure you all know how far exactly your heads are up your asses.
>>63087503
Hard to be a God? More like Hard to Watch amirite. That was one if the biggest pieces of shit I have ever forced myself to watch. It was like an old Tarkovsky movie, but somehow even more boring and pretentious. It reminded me a great deal of another recent pile of trash movie that was nothing but groan inducing visuals and nothing going on in the story (Ryan Gosling, can't remember name, in Asia somewhere, lots of neon lights, incredibly boring).
>a bunch of plebs that think foreign movies are automatically overrated
>a bunch of plebs that think american movies are automatically garbage
>/tv/ is literally only simple minded moron plebs
Time to /trash/ this board.
>>63088685
You just hate anything with God in the title, don't you?
>>63088308
Do you have the top from Positif on 2015? I can't find it. Only from last year.
2014 (Positif - February 2015, N.648)
Aimer, boire et chanter (Alain Resnais)
A Most Violent Year (J. C. Chandor)
Bird People (Pascale Ferran)
Boyhood (Richard Linklater)
Ida (Paweł Pawlikowski)
L'Institutrice (Nadav Lapid)
Leçons d'harmonie (Emir Baigazin)
Léviathan (Andrey Zvyagintsev)
Mommy (Xavier Dolan)
Timbuktu (Abderrahmane Sissako)
3 coeurs (Benoît Jacquot)
12 Years A Slave (Abdellatif Kechiche)
Winter Sleep (Nuri Bilge Ceylan)
I happen to have seen The Assassin. It's bad. The assassin girl can't act. Can't fight. Her character is boring.
She is supposed to have capeshit level super power. But no they want to do it in a natural way.
It's like Lucy without all the CGI effects.
>tfw you got a signed Assassin poster
>>63088713
That's not true, I love The Godfather.
>>63088754
This is very pleb criticism of a film which has pretty glaring flaws.
>>63088743
>12 Years A Slave (Abdellatif Kechiche)
For me, the Assassin and SPL 2 where the Asian cinema disappointments of the year.
>No Victoria
>No Love
>No Youth
>No Fantastic Four
>No Sicaro
>>63088913
Haha, didn't notice. Did they mistake the movie or the director?
>mad max
>45 years
>inherent vice
>it follows
>girlhood
>tangerine
>horse money
Reminder that this is SIGHT AND SOUND, a british magazine, which means that their taste is absolute garbage because they can't produce good films like america
>>63088011
>>63088011
>leave my capeshit alone!woooah stop bullying me guys
Your biggest mistake is coming to the forefront of authentic thought on the internet for personal validation.
If you want a hugbox of regurgitated opinions praising 2/10 flavor of the month flicks then you should leave my art board alone and try making a sub on reddit
Oh but who am I kidding... you probably came from there lol
2015 was truly a horrible year for film.
>>63088698
You know it is literally impossible to believe both of those things at once, right? American and foreign has exhausted the list of all possible movies.
>carol
soon
>people have gotten so used to Hollyshit action films that they think Mad Max is anything more than a 3/5
>people think It Follows is legitimately good because horror has been decade for over a decade
>people lap up the same recycled, banal arthouse shit that Europe has been dumping out for 10 years
Fuck everything.
>>63088743
In a few days when the magazine is out
>>14. Girlhood
>>12. It Follows
>>10. Inherent Vice
>>03. Mad Max: Fury Road
Fucking meme list shit fuck
>>63088743
that is absolutely disgusting. half the movies on there are terrible dogshit that is loved by people who aren't ready for actual arthouse stuff. seriously movies like Mommy, Winter Sleep, 12 Years a Slave, Leviathan, Ida, and A Most Violent Year are all crap. Boyhood is one of the only genuinely great movies on that list.
>>63089064
what would be on your list?
>>63090026
>everything is shit hurpdurp
Wow what amazing taste!! So patrician
>>63090068
Oh, nice, thanks.
>>63090026
what kinda stuff would be on your list? I think their list is pretty good.
>>63087540
>>63087582
>>63087745
It probably looks fucking goofy, but I get why it's on the list. It's a visual action film with very little in the way of plot.
It's got that formalism that S&S-style critics crave. Makes sense to me. Still a goofy choice and probably would have made more sense if this was the Cahiers list cause it's the exact kind of shit they'd put on their list, but I can see it.
>>63090026
Hard to be a God is good though, movie of the year along Lost River.
>>63090208
Blackhat was better.
>>63089057
What's wrong with Horse Money?
>>63090233
Haven't seen it yet, no single policy and all that.
>>63090233
Blackhat was mediocre.
2015 ISN'T OVER YET, WHY NOT JUST WAIT UNTIL JANUARY 2016
FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKK
what about gaspears nows "LOVE"?
>>63090182
then how come carol is #2. it was very plain 2bh.
>>63090381
do you like any Todd Haynes movies? maybe his stuff isn't for you
>>63090425
that wasn't my point at all.
>It's got that formalism that S&S-style critics crave
it certainly doesn't.
>>63087545
It's Bongland. They still use outhouses and are still waiting to see Forrest Gump.
>>63087983
Horse Money was on the list last year dumbshit. All the other movies you listed premiered and had general release this year.
>>63088308
I knew American Sniper would be too imperialistic for them to like.
>>63090466
I haven't seen it yet but all of the Todd Haynes movies I have seen are extremely formally rigorous and inventive. I have no doubt that Carol will fall in that category.
>>63090208
Lost River is a 6/10 and I'm being generous. It's a fucking student film with a high budget
>>63088509
Well at least some people have voted for it
>>63087540
It won the federation of international critics prize too. Even the contrarians at cahiers loved it.
>>63090133
Most of those films are actually decent though, specially Ida and Leviathan. Do you enjoy being a jaded contrarian fuck?
>>63090646
Fucking room over it lol. Hopefully Manohla keeps it on her year list
>>63090741
It's not over it. Both got 6 votes.
>>63088754
>2/10 the girl didn't even have superpowers, avoid
>>63088782
>tfw you'll never fuck that ching chong potato
>>63087503
>Sight & Sound
Who?
>>63091001
You can jerk off to her nude pics.
"Thought?"
Yea, this list is complete dogshit.
>No Sicario in top 3
>mad pleb
>>63090133
>>63090740
Leviathan was very good.
>>63088810
The ultimate pleb
>Someone posts on /tv/
>Who uses the word "boring" as a criticism.
>>63090233
Sicario is better than Blackshat
>>63091037
THERE ARE NUDE PICS???
brb
>>63087503
>Girlhood
So is it Boyhood with girls?
>>63091068
>sicario
>good
Child of IMDB please kill yourself
>>63091128
Of course. Shu Qi was a star of erotic films and a nude model.
>>63091144
>le non foreign movie in other language is automatically shit
Yea youre a loser
Sicario had better cinematography than your best film this year, better acting, and better writing.
You cant prove me wrong.
Go back to reddit where they will love your "obscure" Jap movie
>>63087503
>Get used to Hollywood formulaic action films
>Mad Max does the basics right
>They haven't seen it it such a long time it gets called a masterpiece
I dislike most of this list.
>>63091129
No, Girlhood is actually good.
>>63091218
>"foreign movie"
Uncultured child of IMDB please go home before you try and hangout with the bouncers
>no Sicario
Why did no one see the greatest movie of the year
>>63087649
The movie in the top ten is Taiwan's Assassin 2015
>>63091250
Pseudo intellectual please go away. You arent more intelligent than anyone else. You are a fat virgin on a pedo board that watches Jap movies cause of your low test
So what actually happened with Lost River ?
I thought the Gosling name would have pulled the plebs.
>>63091265
Maybe they did and they don't have enough juvenile cinematic sensibilities like Villeneuves fans(although Fury Road and It follows would suggest otherwise)
>>63091250
I hope you realize the best movies that come out in the world come from America. We have the best directors and writers in the world. Contrarians like you say otherwise because it might seem "cool" to you to like foreign movies but in reality no one cares about your pleb taste. You reek of 20 year old college student. When you grow up kiddo youll understand.
>>63091372
oh fuck
>>63091331
So essentially you dont have an argument as to why its not on there because they obviously like pleb movies and not well made thrillers by one of the best directors currently.
>Prisoners
>Enemy
>Sicario
Thats a really fucking good 3 in a row
>>63091291
Sicario is THE example of IMDB sensibility cinema. It doesn't get more juvenile "film buff" than this movie. Everything from the casting, to the themes, to the cinematography. It physically pains me to even think about it. Fincher was always the epitome of IMDB to me until this movie, but then Villenvue managed to topple him.
>>63091388
>frogposting
Proves my point
>>63090283
>Gosling cinema, like Refn is voided of any stylistic pathos
>meanwhile Blackhat gets more overall praise than Only Crap Forgives and Lost River
keking at Refnfags
>>63090646
Keith Uhlich to the rescue.
http://auteurmuseum.com/2015/08/14/episode-01-michael-mann/
>>63091417
But Villeneuve makes pleb films with patrician pretensions. Sicario is his best by far though.
I only watched Inside Out and Mad Max. Liked them both
>>63091417
>one of the best directors currently
t. the "/tv/ cinephile"
>>63091451
This. That McTiernan allusion.
Doubt Carol is better
>>63088308
Shocked The hateful eight didn't make it
>>63088308
>Not Desplechin's new one
Definitely Cahiers got totally ruined
In a way it's a great list, it's designed for maximum butthurt -- and succeeds.
>>63087540
It could've been even worse. Only five votes away from the number one:
>The Assassin - 38 votes
>Carol - 35 votes
>Mad Max: Fury Road - 33 votes
http://www.bfi.org.uk/best-films-2015
Anyone know where I can get Horse Money? It's not on the public trackers...
>>63091497
>>63091478
You guys just dont "get" his artistic direction.
Its okay. Once you graduate college you might understand
>>63091237
But Boyhood took TWELVE YEARS to make.
>>63087540
Can you?
>Duke of Burgundy only got 7 votes
What does Strickland have to do to get noticed? Shoot pyrotechnics out of his asshole?
>>63091752
7 votes is pretty good man. the #1 movie only got 38. I haven't watched Duke yet but it looks amazing.
