Paterson
There will be blood
Hard to be a god.

The Book Of Eli

pull up the criterion collection and close your eyes and point

that one

>>10629489
Chimes at midnight

>>10629524
So Armageddon by Bay, Chasing Amy by Smith, and Robocop by Verhoeven?

>ill take you to the best place for mojitos

>>10629541
Robocop is great though

>>10629559
It's great for an action movie, so is something like Terminator. They aren't very /lit/ though.

>>10629489
Hard to be a god
Stalker
Andrei Rublev

>>10629489
Tree of Life

>>10629489
Twelve Monkeys

The Seventh Seal

Magnolia

Evangelion is basically Gravity's Rainbow the Anime...

>>10629515
Are you a robot that learns by reading 4chan threads?

Pan's Labyrinth is /lit/

>>10629515
>Paterson
was a big letdown for me

>>10629489
seventh seal

and i went into it thinking it would be pretentious. it was actually kinda fun to watch, had everything a good movie should have.

Repo Man
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGzkQAIHTTY

>>10629678
>Stalker
oh god i hope not

German expressionism. (Caligari, Nosferatu...)
M the monster of Dusseldorf
Rampo Noir
Delinquent girl
Sugisball
The third Man

>>10629489
I would say taxi driver. It was heavily influenced by notes from the underground.

>>10629858
dope movie

>>10629858
maybe if you wanna make it pynchon like. repoman is great, but its comical approach makes me think the pinecone all the way

it does have one of my favorite lines in any movie
>otto dont go, what about our relationship?
>what
>what about our relationship?
>fuck that

>>10629858
Duke: The lights are growing dim Otto. I know a life of crime has led me to this sorry fate, and yet, I blame society. Society made me what I am.
Otto: That's bullshit. You're a white suburban punk just like me.
Duke: Yeah, but it still hurts.

>>10629489

god that movie is so shit

>>10629969
any idea how to see that vincent gallo movie he supposedly won't let anyone ever see that he made after brown bunny and got butt-hurt about someone saying it was shitty? no info on the internet

>>10629997
>god that movie is so shit
just like your opinion, man

El desencanto (1976)

>>10629489
Theater: Children of Paradise
Novel: L'avventura
Poetry: Color of Pomegranates

>>10629969
>Spring Breakers
gotta disagree, I feel this movie is ALL about the spectacle and sensory overload which would not translate at all into a novel. Barry Lyndon is an excellent choice.

Seventh Seal
Before Trilogy
Dumb and Dumber

>>10630026
and your taste above all my friend if you think 2 hours of unsubtlety through exaggerated expressions and close ups are anything worth any appreciation. Even Son of Saul did it better

>>10630071
so? but its /lit/-kino nonetheless

>>10629875

Meh. I thought it was a terribly boring movie.

>>10630026
The Big Lebowski is unironically great. The more you watch it the more it reads as a meditation on modernity, absurdism, and what it means to "be a man"

>>10629489
Paris, Texas
or anything by Malick

Stranger than Paradise

These are pretty much the best

http://theyshootpictures.com/gf1000_all1000films_table.php

La Dolce Vita

Tarkovsky
Bergman
Bresson

Are the big three

>>10630193
more like Bresson, Antonioni and Ozu

>>10630202
Ok fine,

Takovsky
Bergman
Bresson
Antonioni
Ozu

are the big five

>>10630110
kys

>>10630202
>Antonioni

"Michelangelo Antonioni, thought Bergman, had never properly learnt his craft. He's an aesthete. If, for example, he needs a certain kind of road for The Red Desert, then he gets the houses repainted on the damned street. That is the attitude of an aesthete. He took great care over a single shot, but didn't understand that a film is a rhythmic stream of images, a living, moving process; for him, on the contrary, it was such a shot, then another shot, then yet another. So, sure, there are some brilliant bits in his films... [but] I can't understand why Antonioni is held in such high esteem."

Antonioni is a hack, he made one masterpiece then got suffocated by his own dullness

>>10630229
All his works are great.

>>10630193
you forgot Cassavetes

>>10630235
t. hasn't seen zabriskie point

sure thing Michelangelo.

Eyes Wide Shut

>>10630262

>thread getting deep
>they still haven't posted the Greeks
are you guys even trying?
is this the literature board, or is this /tv/???

also Paterson deserves the highest recognition

>>10630269
posting a self-portrait are we?

>>10630110
pleb

>>10630276

>>10630286
keep posting away champ, you're showing us who's the boss : )

seeing as this is a semi relevant thread, what are some books that deal with the concepts found in end of evangelion?

>>10630272
Hail to the Greeks

>>10630202
>Ozu

He's good but he really showed how autistic japanese were/unable to comprehend his work

better fitting japanese directors for the list would be mizoguchi, kobayashi, naruse, oshima, koreeda etc.

>antonioni
sounds like a made up name you make when you wanna insult the italian kid

>>10630292
summa theologica

>>10630269
>>10630286
you sure showed him

>>10630247
>actually thinking Lynch is comparable to any of the good directors mentioned in this thread
Thanks for reminding me of why I never go to /tv/

Antonioni's best move was paving the way for Todd Haynes's Safe.

>>10630247
Lynch got lucky with Eraserhead but other than that he is a one trick pony

>>10630336
and having the honor to die on the same date as Bergman

>>10630292
read up on gnosticism

>>10630320
Lynch is high brow according to /tv/. They only talk Star Wars and super hero movies.

>>10630338
What exactly is this one trick that applies to The Straight Story, The Elephant Man, Dune, and Inland Empire?

>>10630289

>>10630347
any fiction, i'm too brainlet for philosophical texts

>>10629969
I'm impressed that Korine wrote Kids when he was so young but I've never been able to watch that movie past like 30 minutes. It's fucking intolerably annoying.

>>10630361
+quentin tarantino
+coen brothers
+terry gilliam

Jackass the movie

>>10630368
in English, doc.

>>10630367
what about that movie annoys you? it's more or less exactly like my childhood minus the aids and beating gays parts

>>10630361
straight story is unironically a fantastic portrayal of old age

>>10630368
+leni reifenstahl

>>10630361
>dude surrealness lmao

>>10630373
It's more my fault than the film's. I just can't get into vapid teenager conversations and fumbling sex for 90 minutes

Gummo is more my speed. Not on quite such an extreme level, but I can relate to backwoods degeneracy more than that of a city.

There is no chance of the Nazi regime lasting more than a few years after the war, what a dork.

>>10630247
Lynch literally just copied Hitchcock all along, just compare "Lost Highway" to "Vertigo". To call Lynch a thief would be an understatement.

>>10630441
Good artists copy. Great artists steal.

>>10630441
Not to mention Mulholland Dr being a rip off of Persona

>>10629845
I thought it was kind of comfy.

>>10630456
>Great artists steal.
Yeah, but Lynch adds nothing of value. He is just a Hippie, who puts one layer upon the other and calls it surrealism. "Lost Highway" just seems to be deep, but the storyline is a one-liner.

>>10629867
>M the monster of Dusseldorf
You mean the 1931 Fritz Lang film?

>>10629541
Robocop is the perfect allegory for Christ and earned Verhoven’s spot on the Jesus Seminar

>>10630441
Not to mention Mulholland Dr being a rip off of Persona

>>10630456
That would be great if he actually outdid the originals.

Godard’s King Lear

>>10630480
Yeah

>>10630338
Twin Peaks: The Return was Cahiers du Cinema’s best film of 2017 despite not being a film, try harder

>>10630272
Actually an excellent movie as representation

Pierrot le Fou is about a pseud who name drops authors like Rimbaud and Proust who wanders through the countryside with a QT. Has to be one of the most /lit/ films.

>>10630521
That doesn't mean much at all.

>Roy Andersson
>Aki Kaurismaki

>>10630456
get out.

>>10630441
Not to mention Mulholland Dr being a rip off of Persona

>>10630497
Did Altman "rip off" Persona as well with 3 Women? These directors aren't sitting around conniving to steal ideas and make big bucks off the ideas of Bergman. Inspiration doesn't equal thievery.

>>10630558
Its a bad movie as well.

>>10630272
>>10630522
damn right it is my man

>>10630320
Watch Eraserhead and then end ur life stupid

>>10630320
>/lit/ not knowing kino

Not surprised. This board is full of pseudo intellectuals.

>>10630229
>one masterpiece
l’avventura, la notte, l’eclisse and blow up are all on the same tier

>tfw can only watch french new wave, american independent, or japanese movies

Dunno what happened to my interest in film tbqh. I have no absolutely desire to watch anything that doesn't fall into the above category.

>>10630611
Rivette, Rohmer and Bresson are the only french directors you need

>>10629489
Marketa Lazarova

>>10629489
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Legally Blonde
The Dark Knight
Dunkirk
Macbeth (Roman Polanski)
Mean Girls

un homme qui dort, based on perec
donzoko, based on gorky

/lit/ has terrible taste in film
Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry is possibly the more literary film ever made:
8'14" of silence
17' 35" of dialogue
6' 42" of silence
16' 09" of dialogue
5' 46" of silence
15' 08" of dialogue
6' 06" of silence
1' 00" of dialogue
10' 24" of silence

It's also the closest film has ever gotten to a poetic epic.

anything by jonas mekas or chris marker

>>10630767
>Chris Marker
here's his youtube channel with videos he made shortly before he died:
https://www.youtube.com/user/Kosinki
He should have died young

>>10629489
It
Moon
Arrival
Blade Runner
The Matrix
Fury Road
Mr Nobody
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

>>10630603
yes, shit tier

>>10630827
someone should impale you on a pike

Film is the most pseud medium. Take this whole thread for example.

>>10630922
The question was about films that actually can turn the video into complex text like “Hard to be a god”.

>>10629489
The deer hunter or Blade runner

>>10630787
But Chris Marker made literal Kino 6 years ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpwcAodTIlM

>>10629832
Yes I'm, but don't tell to anyone, please.

>>10630422
Heat is unironically my favorite movie

>>10631035
March 10, 1957 – May 2, 2011
29 July 1921 – 29 July 2012
Good night sweet princes.

>>10629489
Is this supposed to be modern day Tarkovsky or some shit?

>>10631073
yeah, it's incredible—what do you think of my rankings

>>10631097
unfortunately Heat and Public Enemies are the only Mann I've seen. I'm going to have to watch the rest now.

they live

>>10629489

>>10629954
Have you even read my post?

Shane Carruth and Guy Maddin are great
