Which ones?

Images of Asian Music and that early one with the long title. These two were average for me

fuck I watched this one like ten years ago in tcm

Pretty comfy movie, not fantastic or anything

I like Images of Asian Music quite a bit actually. The diary movie you mentioned is pretty good too imo. The only one that doesn't really do much for me is Florence. I wish I could watch Two Rivers.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Florence, that one was meh. Agreed about Two Rivers.

I watched The Third Man some time ago and I have to say, it completely disappointed me. It started out in the similar vein of many mediocre 30s & 40s noir, meandering about, setting up to the inevitable crescendo that comes at the end. As I watched it, a creeping doubt began to creep inside, "Is this really it?". I was honestly struggling to focus on the film as it wasn't at all interesting. I wasn't bored, I wasn't sleepy, I was distraught. A film by the master, to the incredulous, and here I was, thinking if the film before me was absolutely blasé or if I was the one. Having reached two thirds of the film, suddenly the film revives itself from a self-induced coma, and so does the viewer. I was actually enjoying the film, it gripped me, it felt like this is what the people were talking about, but then I asked myself, can 2/3 of absolute slog be swept under the rug if the last act is good? The answer came quite fast to me. No, the film can't redeem itself if majority of it is terrible. Just like you can't look through your fingers when it comes to an alcoholic father that beats your mother and sister, but then buys ice cream for you for staying complacent in the situation.
No. The Third Man is not a good movie.

just watch any of them. they are all good. and this a good list

I like the movie, but I don't really understand the colossal praise. Maybe I'll give it another chance soon.

I would've made such a great actor in a Pasolini movie.

and a good movie is?

Yeah, I saw it when it was on too. Meh. It was okay I guess but barely remember anything about it.

Absolutely Satanic

Prefer Two weeks in another town

Who was the most hhnngg old-timey Hollywood actress? I like Barbara Stanwyck

since we're on the topic of erotica, franco-era spanish erotica is by far the best fyi

I wish I had been nicer to molly now. I bet she would have come over right now.

Clearly you have a dog in the race, so I'll give you something easy to hate, but which I feel absolutely deserves more love.
>Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
The best comedy film of 2010s. No doubt about it. How it manages to execute the absurdist humor whilst still being so faithful to the source material that you can't say it's anything but Pride and Prejudice, is nothing short of marvelous.
Regency court room drama and ballroom dancing all the while zombies ravage the countryside. It's so hilarious and well executed that it makes me feel sad how many people actually missed what the film was going for.

You mean Jesus Franco? Like his Justine movie?

can't tell if you're joking but francisco franco. though jess franco is great of course. lina romay was a 10/10

It was a play on words you see as he was an actual Spanish erotica director during the Franco regime. Also a ton of low budget horror stuff.

Alright, here's the final chart. I couldn't be bothered to make it look nice since no one actually cares.

>he was an actual Spanish erotica director
Yeah no shit?
>jess franco is great of course

>Barney still in the picture

he made it an even 30, so I didn't feel like taking him out

What's Bresson's best?

that chart is very....optimal, primely so.

I don't really have a problem with anyone in that list, though I could think of a couple more deserving to be there, but Barney has no place there, replacing him with anyone else would improve it considerably. Koreeda / Wang Bing / Hadzihalilovic, any of those would be a great replacement.

Trial of Joan of Arc

Funny

Yas Forums has a special talent to make abhorrently shitty charts. Nice to see you keeping the streak

Why is British film criticism so shit? Both historically and contemporary.

>Koreeda
>Wang Bing
>Hadzihalilovic
Such great American directors

Unironically who was this aimed at? Kids aren't going to know about Frank Capra's Lost Horizon and adults don't want to watch some shitty musical.

tsugaru folk song is the worst saito, of the ones I've seen.

And this is a good thing

My bad, didn't see the small text up top, I'll blame my lack of sleep. Anyway, just replace Barney with Jamin Winans then.

Nobody cares

I'm glad the chart is not a complete disappointment for everyone

Remove:Florida Project,Marriage Story, Whatever the next film is,Kids,The Lighthouse,Paterson,Synecdoche,Columbus,Uncut Gems.

Add:Museo,BVS,Knight of cups(replace tree of life),Snowtown, 3 Backyards

Also replace Bone Tomahawk with Dragged Across Concrete, Zahler has had a very clear progression in his skills as a director as he makes films, Concrete should be his representative film.

Le Passion de Jeanne D’Arc Variety review (December 31, 1927 11:00pm PT)

Here is a deadly tiresome picture that merely makes an attempt to narrate without sound or dialog an allegedly written recorded trial in the 15th or 16th century of Joan of Arc for witchery, leading to her condemnation and burning at the stake.

One grows terribly weary of seeing her judges reappear, of the long series of captioned questions and answers, of Joan double-crossed, and of Joan doing a long-distance burning sequence, with the French mobs as inserts. Totally a cheaply economic film as a product.

There is some photographic value through the continuous allure of whole-screen closeups of faces only, mostly of the hard-visaged elderly men in cloistered costumes. They look like stone images brought to life.

In appearance, Joan is at all times immobile in countenance and always staring into the camera when she isn’t washing tears off her face.

some good ones, mainly cringe as fuck
