I'd recommend checking out Right Now, Wrong Then since it was the film that inspired me to explore Hong's filmography. What did you think of Hotel by the River?

Based on their best film:
von Trier (Dogville) > Noe (Irreversible) > Lanthimos (Sacred Deer or Dogtooth) > Haneke (Amour or Funny Games) > Refn (Drive) > Dumont (Twentynine Palms)

Based on overall average quality:
von Trier > Haneke > Lanthimos > Noe > Refn > Dumont

I like Hotel by the River enough, not sure if I love the ending though. Seems like it didn't really need the "drama" of something actually happening. Right Now, Wrong Then has been what I planned on starting with so this pretty much confirms it.

The movie

Nothing, the cinema experience is overrated for the vast majority of movies, especially modern ones. That being said, if I lived near a repertory theater, I'd be at that shit all the time because I'd love to watch older prints.

>Joker
You tell us m8

it feels fast since I've seen the 2005 version which lasts over 3 hours. also jack black is annoying as fuck

how did Yas Forums end up like this? that an actual thread about film needs it's own special thread that says it's about film? 99% of threads in the catalog are just twitter screenshot outrage, capeshit and the current popular tv series

why does taiwan make more kinos than china despite being absolutely tiny comparatively?

Tbf the current popular series is pretty based

2016 election is what really killed it imo, pretty much true for the whole site. I really wish mods would just ban all discussion of star wars and capeshit so we could just have shitposts and the occaisonal quality thread without kiddy corporate garbage being discussed and overrunning the board with literal children

They had a much stronger economy until fairly recently. It's the same reason Hong Kong used to have the best Chinese film industry.

Kong wa bisa! Kow bisa para Kong!

How do you guys even watch movies? Do you watch what seems interesting to you and go from there, do you watch a director's filmography or movies from a certain era or movement? Do you have niche that you keep coming back to or does it change depending on mood?

>I can only imagine how thrilling it was to see that in a theater in 1933.
it would have been nightmare fuel

I watch chronologically. I choose a decade and watch as many films as possible from that decade. been at 1930s for months now. was in 40s for a while but rediscovered some 30s films.

I just watch whatever interests me at the moment, I just happen to really like art films

What are some of your favorite 40's films?

I'm sure someone shat their pants when king kong broke t-rex's jaws. I almost did jeez that was cruel and nasty

The third man because it doesn’t feel like a forties film.

What was her problem?

gaslight, notorious, out of the past, rome open city and rebecca

Kong paid the cost to be the boss.

I also have a rule that one in every three films I watch is not made in america to keep it diverse. it's hard to find older non-hollywood films tho

currently watching king kong, before that shanghai express and M which was my non american kino

Everything Howard Hawks made, from Only Angels Have Wings to Red River, is gold.
Best film critic of all time and if she was still alive everyone here would love her.

Will do

Just watched this randomly and I enjoyed it. I could use some recommendations on something similar
