/lit/ - Literature

I watched this last year and it really struck me as something that could become an all-time favorite, but I need more time with it, I think.

Alien is a movie I could watch a million times and still be impressed with it.

In the mood for love (wong kar wai general), And Blue velvet (but not David Lynch in general)

Unironically but I also wrote my final year thesis on Heidegger's influence on Malick. What a waste of time that was.

reckon the narcissistic fuck would get caught in the #metoo-campaign if it took place much much earlier

>>10523936
have you seen that state of /tv/ these days?

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

The characters are Shakespearean. The soundtrack is haunting. The cinematography is poetry. The movie is pure kino, through and through.

Killing of A Chinese Bookie; Repo Man; F for Fake. All good choices. What's your favorite book?

How can a former philosophy professor make such vague and surface level philosophical films?

>>10523908
great taste.
>>10523928
kind of a rollercoaster, but great overall, some of my favs in there.

>>10523837
one of my favorites is Birth of a Nation

>>10523928
Whats the one to the right of La Jetee?

>>10524072

I knew somebody would ask that. It's Teorema, the Pasolini movie.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teorema_(film)

>>10524082
Thanks

Pan's labyrinth or The Big Lebowski
The latter has been growing on me though, every time I see it it feels more and more meditative

A lot of people have been calling it an "18 hour film" so I'm gonna say Twin Peaks: the Return. It's easily the greatest thing I've ever seen.

>>10524094

I should actually watch that

Its between City of God and The Wraith

>>10524009
Don Quixote followed by Naked Lunch.

>>10524094
i watched the first 4 episodes and though I initially hated the more metaphysical direction, it sucked me in. But I do need to watch the rest of it.

>>10523837
Knocked me to the fucking floor.

Andrei Rublev definitely, every time I watch it I feel a little wiser. Watching it is like reading a spiritual text.

>>10524161
If you like City of God I highly recommend you watch Bus 174. It's about the same topic, but more hopeless due to its documentary realism. It's a documentary about a guy that goes nuts from living in the favela his entire life and hijacks a bus, threatening to kill all passengers.

>>10524094
You've convinced me, I'll watch this next. Watched the first two seasons last summer and loved them, have yet to see Fire Walk With Me. I saw that black and white screenshot of a hobo asking for a light or something which really intrigued me. Didn't expect to see it on so many Best of the year lists.

I need to watch more films desu, but unfortunately i don't have the attention span. I can sit through books for hours but i can't bear 20 mins of a film. The above list were the ones that caught my attention and i watched them in one sitting.

>>10523837
Enter the Void
Mulholland Drive
Synecdoche New York

>having several favourite movies

you pathetic pseuds are just doing it to bait (you)s

>>10524289
Thanks for the rec, will check out Bus 174. I actually like City of God more for its fictionalized elements and inspiration from western crime movies, but the setting is also great.

>>10524503
>Dude, Where's My Car?
The Goodburger movie is legitimately a better DWMC

>>10523846

Safe is has become one of my favorite films too, it's so heartbreaking and creepy

Zorba the Greek

Rec me some good /lit/ based on this.

and I don't really have a close second either

>>10524010
Being philosophically literate does not guarantee being a good artist, which is something that is lost on every Malick fanboy who always chimes in with the cliched B-BUT MUH HEIDEGGER SCHOLAR response. How many people even know Walter Benjamin wrote fiction as well?

>>10524010
If you try too hard to make a philosophical film it becomes often cringe-worthy. I personally think Malick films are more akin to visual art than to books where the visuals convey the meaning rather than the story or dialogue.

But muh Tarkovsky did it!

>>10523847
Blue Velvet is to Lynch's creations much like The Map and The Territory - the comfiest, most realist, most accessible, and often most liked piece, often accompanied by "but not this man's other work in general".

>>10523837
Lynch is fantastic
Pretty much everything by Tarkovsky
Bergman obviously, watch The Seventh Seal at the very least
I'm a fan of Charlie Kaufman, his films are more easy to watch than your average art film and have a great sense of magical realism.
Also watch pic related if you liked Eraserhead

>>10524094
Do I have to watch the earlier twin peaks?

Persona
Breathless
Harakiri

Never heard an honest critique of his films from these people.

My favorite movie is probably Excalibur. Its the best King Arthur movie and I never get bored while watching it, and periodically I feel the need to go back and rewatch it. It has a ton of great moments, like these:

Big Trouble in Little China

Trying to watch three films per weekend this year, so hopefully I'll have another 156 films under my belt come 2019. My favorite director is probably Fellini.

You sound like you're insufferable in person.

A lot of people don't like Harmony Korine, but I think Gummo is one of the greatest things in all of cinema.

Blew me away. The Quatsi trilogy as well though it's a bit more haunting.

I got to see Samsara premiere in the cinema when I was over visiting England. They had these Malaysian dancers perform dressed up before the viewing of the film. I was stoned out of my mind and thought I was in the wrong theatre, until the movie actually started. Was only me and like two couples in there and I sat right at the front. Best cinema experience of my life.

>>10526129
...THAT Ratcatcher?

>>10523960
Five easy pieces is a great film. Mccarthy himself likes it. I showed it to an old roughneck on the rig I was working on and he held it in high regard.
