Since the mods won't make it, it's up to us. I propose we start /film/ general threads for people who want to discuss movies as an art form. Let's start by figuring out a list of directors and films for beginners trying to expand their horizons and put them in a pastebin. I propose pic related, and his film 8 1/2. Also, Stalker by Tarkovsky.
I nominate the Plane Scene from TDKR
>>69023874
Some introductory favorites:
Renoir: The Rules of the Game, Grand Illusion
Demy: Lola, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
Truffaut: The 400 Blows, Jules and Jim
Malle: Elevator to the Gallows, the Fire Within, The Lovers
Cocteau: Beauty and the Beast, The Orpheus Trilogy
Godard: Pierrot le Fou, Contempt
Kiarostami: Close-Up, Certified Copy
Fassbinder's Beware a Holy Whore, World on a Wire, Ali Fears Eats the Soul
Bergman: Fanny and Alexander 4-Parter, Persona, Wild Strawberries, Through a Glass Darkly
Ophuls: The Earrings of Madame D, Le Ronde
John Cassavetes, Woody Allen, Whit Stillman, Terrence Malick
>>69219087
Bergman is probably the best director for super embryos to get their feet wet in
Or Fassbinder
>>69219217
Didnt mean to link to that old thread. But yeah, while it gets derided as being too popular here by contrarians, 8 1/2 is certainly one of the greats, OP.
>>69219256
wild strawberries first
so far all things mentioned still copy the industrial cinema model, i dont see any actual push the boundaries of cinema as Le Retour A La Raison by Man Ray or Horizontal Boundaries by Pat O’Neill

>>69219490
Are you a bit slow?
>>69219550
>>69219670
Solid lists but I always wished that there were more than just the two, and that they were grouped categorically by theme or movement. But that of course is much harder than just listing well regarded films.
>>69219670
it's just an observation, sorry m8, didnt mean to trash your thread.
I wouldnt mind a seperate /film/ board, I just think it would implode into a private elitist obscure "No spoonfeeding" film circle jerk, really fast.
>>69219785
Less known films of famous directors: the list.
>>69219864
The entry level art house list is hardly obscure

Give me this any day over daily capeshit and Star Wars threads
This has all been great so far. Anybody know how to get these images on the pastebin?
>>69219882
ye, Walden and Sicilia and The Steel Helmet and Johnny Guitar and Love Streams and Celine and Julie and India Song are really obscure gems aren't they. real underrated.
reddit is that way -->
>>69219735
Yes they are great. Watch The Elephant Man first.
BANE?
>>69219927
you're so annoying
>>69219927
Why have I never seen any threads about those movies?
>>69220015
don't worry luv you're a special butterfly for hearing of that obscure lil lesser known film called Johnny Guitar.
Can someone please explain to me why anytime a non-capeshit thread pops up, some Anon starts shitposting 'reddit'? I'm not familiar with reddit so I've never quite understood.

i'm not >>69219882
but this is actually a pretty big problem you have, you reject my ideas at the face without noticing the subtle nuances
>>69220045
that's because they're either projecting or shitposting, capeshit is as reddit as one can get
>>69220098
what ideas LOL
>>69220031
Because everyone here only watches capeshit? If you judge the popularity of a movie based on how often it's takes about here you're fucking delusional. Based on that criteria fucking Dreyer would be considered obscure
>>69220148

PP is the best example of humanism ever put on film. I'm ashamed to admit that I don't really like a lot of Ray's other films though because the camera work isn't up to the same standard as Apu trilogy.

For most movie goers, Dreyer is obscure.
>>69220206
sans soleil is good but doesnt stand up under a close study. f for fake is best essay film (and best entry level)

>>69220255
If by most movie goers you mean those that think Pulp Fiction is the best movie ever and Kubrick is as inaccessible as they've seen. Let's be clear, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with those people or those movies, but anyone truly interested in digging into cinema has heard of Dreyer. He's one of the most reknowned of all time

no but i have questions-
in film studies whats generally the criteria when you get to make films?
also is yr teacher a jabroni?

Thanks. I am trying to expand more and have some films in mind
>>69221004
>but everyones seen those
No.
>>69220963
Criteria is low, go to a good school and get good lecturers. Go to a school which values critical theory over practical, buy yourself a cheap camera and learn that yourself while applying the critical theory.
>>69220950
boring
>>69220772
Pick a director of one of those entry level films that you liked
Go through their filmography (or most of them)
Repeat
Research if those directors were part of movements or wrote about what influenced them or what films/directors they liked
Repeat
>>69221073
and the jabroni question.....

What are some good cine-plays?
>>69221342
haha u got me
good one anon
>>69220772
Just find a director you like and watch all their films and read analysis on them
Start with /tv/ favorites
Bergman
Tarkovsky
Fassbinder
Godard
Fellini
Antonioni
Bresson
Kurosawa
Malick
Malle
>>69221298
I think his point is that if lists like that already exist, there's no reason to duplicate them. May as well recommend some lesser recognized films that deserve the exposure. They're included because they're good too, not because they're obscure
>>69221425
Not him, but Tark and Bergman are essential, not only for the films they created, but for the influence they had over filmmakers to come
>>69221388
True, but to get to more "obscure" stuff is gonna take some time. Like years. Specially if these early threads are gonna be the same Bergman/Fellini/Tarkovsky shit.
>>69221478
its not fair to make people who want to get into film sit through some of bergman'sfilms
Is Knight of Cups /film/ approved?
>>69221546
dont make posts like this
people will just be stupid for tha sake of it yknow
>>69221584
Is stupidity /film/ approved?
>>69221519
I feel like many would argue The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, Persona, and Fanny and Alexander certainly aren't films you have to force yourself to sit through. And those are just his most popular and aren't too inaccessible
>>69221626
i hated persona and fanny & alexander is still just asboring as an antonioni film first time without half the payoff imo
its probably just a contrast of interests
Man With A Movie Camera (1929).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdbU-4tPq5o
Please enjoy.
>>69221519
Come on. I'm not a Bergman fan, but they're all at least entertaining, even in the most conventional sense.
It's one of the reasons he was so popular, after all.
>>69221512
Bergman and Felini and tarkovsky are heavy hitters and changed the game. They deserve to be talked about. I do object to the fact that discussion of big names like the aforementioned seems to be to the exclusion of other directors. It would be nice if we could have a thread about Franzt Fanon or Thomas Alea for instance but I'll settle for a bergman thread so long as it isn't just memes about the death scene in seventh seal.
Working on the pastebin now. I'm thinking I'll include links to imgurs that have the images in this thread, and then recommend individual directors and three of their best works. How should I sort these? I was thinking of doing entry level, low level, mid level, and high level, but I'm not entirely sure who/what would go where.
I also want to include guys like John Ford, Stanley Kubrick, and Alfred HItchcock for people who are truly clueless.
>>69219621
Great input faggot
>>69221692
this is a really easy film to begin with folks & its great
but you probably dont want to watch it in silence
>>69221725

>>69221748
This is the cinematic orchestra version, the soundtrack kicks in when the orchestra appears. Probably the best soundtrack to date, but I'm constantly hunting the others too.
>>69221703
wild strawberries is a great film and i watched that way before i saw any other old european stuff, but besides a few of his later stuff thats where it ends
>>69221725
Don't
>>69221725
I agree with the obvious inclusions. As for which films to pick, you could almost make a chart like the "Godzillla Films" chart that has a movie and arrows going out from it, leading to other films based on whether you want "the same serious tone" "better special effects" etc. That way you don't have to limit yourself on number of films per director, or worry about classifying them a certain way, just recommend where to go next based on the viewers personal taste.
I do get though that you may be trying to conserve time, in which case I think it would be best just to decide three or so that are essential not only to getting into film, but getting into the director as well. No need to label them, just list them out.
>>69221778
lol so when you watch a film & dont dig it you blame yourself
anon have some self respect. youre not some palooka like the rest of them
>>69221802
never seen this version but its prolly a good start
i heard pink floyds atom heart mother syncs with it perfectly too
Who has read Film Art here? Any Neo-formalists around? What do you like and not like about the theory of neoformalism?
>>69221752
That would be excellent
>>69221758
Quit acting like there's some objective standard for something like this. I would like /film/ to be as free of elitist shitposters as possible.
>>69221842
Don't sort them? I suppose that's not a terrible idea. I'll just list them and tell people to start with whatever they find most interesting.
>>69221879
I'm only trying to get this up and running for the time being, but I think this would be a great future addition. Also, anyone who wants to provide their own images feel free. I will add them.
>>69221882
Not him but criticizing a film fot being "boring" never has to do with the film itself. You're telling us about your experience. You watched x film and you were bored. So? Doesn't say anything about the film.
>>69222009
Love that film
>>69222079
What? That isn't true. Boring means there's nothing interesting going on in the film.
>>69222045
Tell me what you think, it's inspired by voyeurism and psychoanalytic film theory.
>>69222079
yea its all subjective this is jut a discussion
>>69221711
Whatever man. I strongly dislike those two, as well as Bergman. And I will say so everytime they come out.
I really like Ozu and Bresson, if that gives you any comfort.
>>69222117
No, boring means you were bored by it. To critique the film you have to search for the reason. A lack of plot, or "anything happening", does not make a film any less captivating. Perhaps it was poorly paced, or the execution was poor. Simply calling a film boring though says nothing about it's quality, just your perception of it. And honestly, saying nothing more than "its boring" makes it seem like you're unable to figure what exactly is wrong with it, meaning it's your taste at fault, not the movie
>>69222157
how can someone dislike fellini. his films are excessively likeable imo.
love the guy
>>69222037
I don't know anything about neoformalism. Please explain in a few short sentences because I have autism.
>>69222207
is watching paint dry objectively boring or nah?
>>69222117
Maybe. or maybe you were just tired after a long day of work. If certain things in the film made you "bored", you should talk about said things. Those things are more concrete, and allow to a discussion that we can all have.
>>69222251
I'm sure you can find more than one person on this planet who would enjoy watching paint dry.
>>69222235
that pic is dumb lmao
>>69222330
Rude.
>>69222235
Neoformalism is the rejection of older film theory such as psychoanalysis or other interpretive practices and is instead a framework to focus on the aesthetic, semiotic and textual aspects of a film and how that influences a viewer.
>>69222251
put on some classical music and, hey, its better than listening to music with your eyes closed
>>69222310
yea but
>>69222358
How does a movie have textual aspects?
>>69222354
im sorry
>>69222207
No, it means nothing interesting happened in the film.
>>69222364
u can see a lot with yr eyes closed
>>69222251
This doesn't work though becuase there's no message or meaning behind paint drying. The most important thing a movie can do, in my opinion, and this is beyond basic technical and visuals levels of course, is convey a message and do so impactfully. I suppose that's where subjectivity comes into play: did it affect you or not? But as far as boringness goes, that's back on the more technical and objective level. I could see how a movie with no perceived impact/message would be boring though. So I agree with you there
>>69222408
like a woody allen film
either that or he means textural
>>69222476
What would be the message in Brakhage's films?
>>69222476
ok if i made a film of paint drying. u know what i mean bruh bruh?
>>69222496
>>69222408
The textual aspects are only barely mentioned anyway, it's about how the nontextual elements guide the viewer through a film.
>>69222515
Why do you pretend that Brakhage's filmography is monolithic
>>69222580
so french new wave?
>>69222616
Go read about it dude, what do you think you're going to get a comprehensive rundown off a chinese cartoon forum?
>>69222598
Oh it's not. But I don't see how any of his films qualifies with>>69222476 's idea of what a film should do. Hence my question.
>>69222674
idk
>>69222680
I agree with your point. I just get peeved when people act like Brakhage only ever made abstract animation. Movies like the Scenes from Under Childhood have a clear 'message' or more appropriately themes.
I think La Grande Illusion and It's a Wonderful Life are the two greatest films ever made. Can I hang out here?
>>69222764
frank capra is one of the greatest american directors no bs
Is anyone a fan of feminist film theory here? Honestly it annoys me how much the term 'male gaze' is misused and used blatantly out of context recently, by people who probably skim Laura Mulvey's work and then just misinterpret it.
>>69222750
I hear you man. Window Water Baby Moving is my favorite of his, actually.
Vincent Gallo and Harmony Korine are hacks.
And not the enjoyable, Vincent Price, kind of hack either.

>>69223073
Haven't watched any Keaton. Seen all of Chaplin though.
Where do I start with him?
>>69222988
I think Korine is a genius in his own right. I genuinely enjoyed Trash Humpers
>>69223184
sherlock jr is a good place to start imo, the general is his masterpiece.
>>69222515
Sometimes the form is the message. His work is interested in deconstruction of the film medium itself.

Greatest film of the decade or what?
>>69223284
His work is interested in light, mainly.
I do agree with your first sentence.
>>69223039

Here's what I have so far. It's far from finished but I welcome any and all feedback both in structure and content. I also realize there will be some very controversial choices on here but I believe they're important nonetheless. I feel that I'm lacking some non-contemporary English language directors. Any recommendations on that would be excellent as well. Already thinking about Frank Capra, Michael Curtiz, William Wyler, David Lean, and Orson Welles.

Bad reviews, apparently. Strange.

I highly disagree with FMJ for Kubrick. I'd put Eyes Wide Shut. And while I'd include Barry Lyndon or Paths of Glory instead of ACO, I understand the necessity of its inclusion.
But for sure Eyes Wide Shut instead of FMJ

Good job, I think a lot of these are very good picks, including both a director's "most important" stuff as well as the films necessary to understand them as a director. I wish there was a way to include The Thin Red Line for Malick, but I'm not sure any of the three you picked could be left out.
I also third the removal of Full Metal Jacket. Not exactly what I would consider essential Kubrick in any sense
Mods should make film. It just needs some hardcore moderation and then all the shitposters will get the idea and return to their shitposting safe haven.

It would honestly work with intense moderation in the beginning. We'd have to relax eventually, memes are important too, but there's a difference between shitposting and fun discussion and creating a sense of zero tolerance for underminers would allow such a place to actually exist
>/film/ will never be
>bleu, mizo, stvn, fugue, greatthanimplying, etc will never come back to save us from got and capeshit

I think it's pretty depressing that there is a dedicated and very large group of shitposters wanted to stop film from being a thing.
