As the most recent film he listed, I'm gonna have to strongly disagree.
great movies for thr most part. Basic Sight and sound core
For the most part, a good list.
No recommendation from the 90s or 00s?
>>71938069
Hasn't been long enough, gotta see which ones really stand the test of time.
>>71938100
>film critic can't be sure a film is good without waiting 30 years
God forbid he accidentally recommend a movie
>>71937844
>here's a list of cliché "must see" films
wow that guy must have like no personal opinion at all
>>71938134
kek this.
what a pathetic character. Film critics rustle my jimmies.
>>71937844
reddit: the list
>>71937844
>popular = bad
why am I not surprised.
Oh, right, because film critics need to pretend their taste is so much better than everyone else's by saying that they enjoy the most off-mainstream or unknown/unpopular films
>inb4 pointing at Godfother or Singing in the Riain
>exception confirms the rule
>>71938152
>>71938135
>>71938176
>>71938135
They are cliche because of how great they were for their time, film is still a fairly new medium for art; 100 years will only produce a handful, or this list, of must watch fundamentals that paved way for current films.
>>71938176
I wouldn't say they are very unpopular and obscure. I'm sure if an average film fan look through this list he would recognize at least 1/3 of it.
>>71938208
>I'm a film critic and all I can recommend is the standard fare of "historically significant movies"
bravo
>>71937844
>muh sophisticated tastes
>while you were banging sluts, i studied the blade and black and white film
>>71938239
Dood got asked by his friend to make a list for his son, if someone asked the same for me I would assume they were a pleebian and give them run of the mill shit too, At least he gave fundementals and not shit like the matrix or avatar.
>>71938152
I dont wear trenchcoats and weapons. Its 2k16. Physical violence is not scary anymore. Digital terrorism is whats going to put the world in chaos. Dont ever compare me to those filthy neckbeards again.
I've got a degree in network security, you wouldnt be able to imagine what i can do with a computer in your worst nightmares.
>>71938239
Many of them are also great films by great filmmakers.
>>71938308
>fear the digital terrorism
>muh degree in networking
>time to backtrace your ip and call the internet police
>>71938304
I'd recommend popular mainstream films which also happen to be really good movies. Everyone can find lists very similar to this on the interwebs, getting a list of apparently conventional mainstream films that are really worth it would be much more interesting
>seaparating chaff from the weed
I fucking hate Some Like it Hot and Wilder is one of my favourite directors/writers. I don't know why people love it so much and put it above other great Wilder films.
It's a good list nonetheless
>>71938208
>ask for a list of good films to watch
>get a list of 'historically influential films that have been remembered as having an impact on filmmaking'
Maybe one day our grandchildren will bless our generation with historical analysis, so that we may know what films are good to watch.
>Ivan Groznyy I (Eisenstein, 1944)
>Ivan Groznyy II: Boyarsky zagovor (Eisenstein, 1946)
Is it any good?
>>71938134
This. Needing to wait to recognize genius is stupid
>>71937844
I think your dad's friend is actually a film historian, dude.
>>71940589
I don't really know, all I know is that he writes articles for a film magazine. He's a busy man and it would be difficult to approach him for a conversation.
>>71937979
>>71938039
It's surprising how the reaction to this list is more or less positively, when the author is a real critic. When something like this is posted by anon, it is getting shitted on.
>>71937890
But that's the best Bergman you faggot.
>>71938134
>>71938148
>>71939717
They haven't made anything good in last 30 years, kiddos.
>>71942421
That isn't what i see scrolling another awful thread.
It is infinitely pathetic that the memelords of /tv/ would dare to criticize a list like that, essentially flawless as recommendations, or quality of the films.
But, anyway, it's just another bait OP roleplaying and posting a copy/paste of S7S or TSHDT? and then happily expecting to get a filled thread. People do anything for yous these days- and to fool retards on /tv/ is, well, not hard. And posting these greatest/best lists under some disguise seems a more recurrent method lately.
>>71942637
Watch more films, you dumb bastard.
>>71937844
>no BvS
Am I supposed to take this seriously?
>>71942637
Drive. Apologize.
I feel like we're not done laughing at yhis
>>71942658
S&S and TSPDT if I'm not mistaken are based on critics voting, so getting something similar from an actual critic shouldn't really be surprising.
>>71937844
>no Tyler Perry movies
utter shit list
>>71941253
Sounds like you're full of shit at this point, considering you've posted this list before without the pretext of "muh dad asked a friend of a friend of a friend's cousin and he was assistant director on Titanic so his opinion (your opinion) is valid huh".
The 'my wife's daughter' meme keeps evolving, I see
