Did he fuck george bushs daughters
Any more arthouse and classic cinema that shows real defecation?
He's fucked any and every woman that has ever came into contact with him. They can't resist his charm.
what a based conservative man
Is there really a rip of Promises Written In Water on karagarga?
Which score should I listen to while watching Dr. Caligari?
What the fuck did I just watch?
The correct way to do a haunted house movie.
No, it is not
So who is the most overrated director according you fellas?
Pic unrelated because jackie brown was fun flick.
Just finished this. Better than the first and I know I'm going to become very sad when I finish the trilogy. It does a fantastic job of portraying those really raw moments of intimacy. After a character reveals their feelings towards the other, they always undercut it with a sarcastic remark as to not give too much , which reminded me a lot of my last relationship. Made me kind of sad desu.
Truffaut, a million times Truffaut. Fucking tweenie maudlin sophomoric film school undergrad vapid bullshit.
uh idk like james cameron or one of the marvel or star wars directors
Wes Anderson
Currently Nolan, Tarantino and Inarritu.
Walter Hill
I fucking despise his movies. It like he is making it for posh upper class white people. Those movies are some of the whitest flicks ever made.
lol the fact that he makes people like you mad just makes me like him more
I don't know what it is about the deep visceral Wes Anderson hate that you find on Yas Forums but it always makes me smile. And I say that as someone who actually enjoys his movies.
jean luc godard. also avant garde filmmakers whose movies are completely unwatchable because it just 15 hour movie about tower.
Another tourist thread for people who can't even make a webm.
>whitest flicks ever made.
> last two movies featured AMWF romances
it's funny how it can manifest as either culturally right-wing hatred of quirky indie stuff or culturally left resentment toward white people
James Cameron is a master of his craft regardless of how you feel about him and nobody but literal teens and indians on Twitter rates MCU directors.

I'm here to talk about movies, not post video clips to people who can't go a cursory youtube search if they want to see clips of something that interests them.
>nobody but literal teens and indians on Twitter rates MCU directors.
well except for one of them lol, and he's pretty goddamn overrated
>it's funny how it can manifest as either culturally right-wing hatred of quirky indie stuff
It more this, than it being aboot race. It the sort films only a honky could make.
Nolan
Lee Chang Dong
Wes Anderson doesn't care about black people.
well he's the nonpareil master of honky cinema and i love his films
>It the sort films only a honky could make.
That's not true at all. The eclectic idiosyncrasy and quirky nature of the dialogue is specifically what makes his movies stand out. If someone else made the Royal Tenenbaums for example it would veer very heavily into standard Hollywood cookie cutter mush direction.
Nigga wut
there's a version with a synth soundtrack
You didn't enjoy Secret Sunshine?
How recently did you watch a movie on your top ten films list for the first time and is it something that changes often for you? I've been thinking about it recently and the majority of the films in my top ten were films I watched in the first two/three I began to really watch films and think of them as art and not just entertainment. The most recent of my top 10 favorites I watched three years ago and I find it hard to believe films I'll watch in the future will dislodge them from my list. When I think about the sheer joy I experienced I had watching Rear Window the first time (or even the second or third) I don't think anything will match that or that I'll watch a film whose long takes or mis en scene will impress as much as The Leopards. But I think it's something true for a lot of people, you watch movies critically as art and watch a lot of them because you watched a couple great films that hooked you. I suppose it's melancholy in a way to think something will never be as good as it was and the best is behind you.
Chaplin. I used to think all silent films were just boring as fuck but after seeing other directors of the era I've come to the conclusion that Chaplin blows ass
Awful take
idk I watch films to absorb the means of style and cinematic language, plus this month I've seen only good films
i've always liked keaton way more than chaplin personally. he actually makes me laugh sometimes
You gotta be one soulless sad bastard to not like City Lights or Modern Times
I miss Griffithfag.
honestly the movies are less funny than sad and infuriating to watch the poor guy constantly get shit on by literally everyone and everything in the world
>How recently did you watch a movie on your top ten films list for the first time
Ten, fifteen years ago, I guess. Roughly speaking.
>is it something that changes often for you?
Not really. I don't like making top ten lists in general, and the only reason I can even come up with some examples of a potential top ten is because I've put a lot of thought about what movies I really, really, really enjoy and could pop in any time I want to and just enjoy it for the sake of enjoying it. They're like, edged in stone as these things I know I appreciate and have some weird magnetic pull to them that makes me think they're just right for me.
I'll add that I don't really rewatch movies that often, usually it takes like a decade or so for me to get around to it, usually due to nostalgia or because I don't remember anything about it anymore, because I'm so preoccupied with finding new movies I haven't seen yet, since I'm always curious to find the next movie on someone's filmography I have not seen. But that doesn't really affect my appreciation of the select movies I hold dear. I just prioritize finding new stuff over revisiting things I've enjoyed.
I am really digging Marty's pal Paul Schrader. Auto-Focus and Light Sleeper were some top shit.
Idk it was alright, but I don't think he's anything more than an average film maker that's severely overrated in film circles.
Relies too much on the same formula and being melodramatic.
It's also insane how his defenders always argue that the "the symbolism only works if you understand Korean".
The last one for me was last November but the one before that was probably at least five years prior. I find new things to enjoy all the time, but I cast a pretty wide net to find them
Searching is half the fun. I don't think I'll ever grow tired of heading into a new experience not knowing if I will remember it ten years from now or forget like hundreds of others.
