thanks for reminding me, I've been meaning to see Audition forever

>>1366204
Don't bother since you've put it off for how long. Won't live up to expect. Unless you're 11.

I don't have favourites tho

>>1366225
wouldn't want to be let down on my expect

>>1366225
>11
>Audition
So edgy on internet...

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

>>1366225
I thought is was pretty good. Miike is a good director.

"Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo", obviously.

Add Redux to the end of that, and you've got mine.

Field of Dreams is a close second.

Possibly Taxidriver.

>>1366288

Cool, I thought I was the only person who preferred Redux.

It is my honest opinion that there has never been, nor will ever be, a better movie.

>>1366259
Yea, 12 year oldfags know to queue bondage.flvs from /t/ and /rs/, instead of pretending to enjoy the off-the-meathook plot in Odish.

>>1366313

jesus christ. that film was a steaming pile of turd.

Trailed by Conan the Barbarian.

I am a gay homosexual who enjoys cocks in my ass.

Don't get me drunk and mention films unless you, too, are also drunk.

>>1366299

This is, of course, a valid opinion, but the film's title should always be rendered correctly as "Mad Max 2".

Protip: Edits meant that it was made less clear that Lord Humungus is actually the now-psychotic Goose from "Mad Max" and that the freaks in police uniforms and cop cars are actually the remnants of the authorities ... now in league with the punks!

it's too good

I doubt you know what this is, sadly. Childhood movies are awesome!

lol

Southland Tales was enigmatic as fuck. I had less of an opinion of it after I watched it than I did before.

>>1366389

Hi, sweetie!

>>1366388
Snappy comeback, fuckwit.

>>1366398
I know lol, first time I watched it was like wtf. Could probably call bullshit on half of it if you wanted to but I personally get a lot of enjoyment out of it, loved the setting, loved the characters.

but seriously i'd probably say it's Back to the Future 1 or Ferris Bueller's Day Off, maybe Groundhog Day too.

just can't resist those childhood films
aladdin was awesome!

Not sure why people who supposedly are into literature can be into such shitty films.

someone already said stalker. i thought this one was really good too.

>>1366436
>>1366436

SAY THAT TO MY FACE AND NOT ONLINE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE TASTE, thread.

I am everywhere

>>1366427

Maybe because they're into literature and not film?

>>1366442

>SAY THAT TO MY FACE AND NOT ONLINE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

Sure thing, bro. How about Grand Central Station 9:00 PM EST tomorrow?

Protip: I'm not going to have sex with you.

Elephant, Silence of the Lambs, Wristcutters

>>1366451
Well, yeah but I figured that the critical thinking that goes into appreciating literature would be applied to film, even if it was just passively.

>>1366185
>I am 15 years old.

>>1366465

Consider this hypothesis: you can't really list good films as your favorites if you've never seen them in the first place.

>>1366457
>>1366457

MAKE THAT IN ENGLAND AND NOT WHEREVER THE FUCK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

They're not bad films but to call them your favorite? That's just silly and shows a lack of exposure to quality films

Are we not the most commented topic in the front page? Good job guise

John Carpenter's: The Thing.

It's a brilliant study of minimalistic character design and paranoia in closed social dynamics. Despite not spending any time on their past lives, we get a complete picture of each character and all of them feel unique based on how they react to the situation. On top of that the supernatural element is not the focus of the film, but rather a tool to explore the weaknesses of human distrust. The movie doesn't stoop to the level of cheap monster movie thrills, which horror films all too often succumb to, and chooses instead uses the Thing to examine humanity at the fringes of survival. It boils down to an us versus them chess match in which each species struggles to overcome the other.

On top of all of that, the cinematography is brilliant, it avoids cliches, and is genuinely terrifying on the first viewing. In my mind, it's damn close to being a perfect movie based on what its intentions and execution.

Days of Heaven

>They're not bad films but to call them your favorite? That's just silly and shows a lack of exposure to quality films
Godfather Part II persun here & i'm willing to admit that.

I just think that movies are something that i would be more interested in as a social thing ;___:

>>1366491
actually no Apocalypse Now is a pretty great movie by any standard, sorry.

>>1366491
Not at all. The Godfather and Apocalypse now are universally recognized by critics as some of the greatest movies ever. Stop being retarded.

A Man Escaped

I liked Godfather 2 more than 1.

>>1366484

None whatsoever, you pathetic closet-case man-baby.

>>1366477

Troll criticising everybody's taste doesn't tell us his taste. Surprise surprise.

>>1366463
I am so glad someone else has seen this

>>1366477

You can't see taste, dumbass, you can only [/spoiler]smell it.[/spoiler]

:(

Jesus Hubbard Christ, what the fuck happened to this thread?

>>1366543
Let you on a little open secret: Everybody's seen that, but nobody talks about it for fear of exposure as a hanger-on of a metabolized scene.

here's my current movies folder tell me what you think

>>1366596

> People I've heard of.

Pfft.

>>1366608
no no see this is how you do it

if they have good taste, you call them pretentious

if they have bad taste, you call them peons

Ran, bitches. All you otha fuckas gotta respect it.

>>1366596

rly entry-level hipster stuff (according to film connoiseurs) i think but it's basically the same as mine so :3

BLUE VELVET.

GREATEST FUCKING FILM OF ALL TIME.

needs a Ghibli/Miyazaki folder.

>>1366639

also needs Palfi and Svankmajer for horror/creepy air.

>>1366625
Ran was fucking amazing as shit.

>>1366630
bela tarr? andrzej zulawski? psshh, yeah, right

>>1366637
You know in the thumbnail it looks like he's wearing one of the post first-contact star trek uniforms

>>1366178
Seconded... Repo Man, hands down, is my favorite film- followed, closely, by MASH, (Godard's) Weekend, and Nashville.

Das Boot.

It's by far the most entertaining movie that I've seen.

Kubrick's best, for sure.

>>1366652
Sátántangó is god tier, you pleb.

>>1366637

> "I'LL FUCK ANYTHING THAT MOVES!"

Is it a threat or an invitation?

>>1366682

ugh, I could never get into Altman. I liked A Prairie Home Companion and Short Cuts (because it was basically Ray Carver put to film), but other than that I don't really feel for his other work.

To each their own though. I'm not going to be a pretentious bag of dicks like that dude that posted a pic of his Tarkovsky and Eisenstein collection.

>>1366709
MASH, Nashville, and Three Women, the latter of which I don't particulary care for, play with sound in such amazing ways. The bullhorn device in MASH and its equivalent, the campaign automobile, in Nashville add so much- a spectre more than an additional character... He, altman, returned to this device in a weird low-budge must see fuck up of film from the 80s called "o.c. and stiggs." So fucked.

I love that film. I watched it with a girl who claimed to love Kubrick. She made me disappoint.

Good job, now you're just bullshitting. I'll bet you've never even heard of Terrence Malick.

the super inframan, story of ricky, terror firmer

Margarita Terekhova gets me hot and bothered

Before everyone knew about it, obviously.

>>1368163

Falling for 2/10 trolling, really?

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is one of my favorites.

>>1366179
Have you seen eXistenZ? Jude Law is in that as well. Similar sci-fi feel. Like Gattaca but less Dystopia and more Inception. Also has a really weird organic feel.

Little Children
American Beauty
Closer
Perfume
Oldboy
Memories of Murder
The Chase

>>1366439
this is the only good movie in this thread.

maybe Mulholland drive but not really.

Fargo

>>1368270

>mulholland drive
>thinks he's any authority on taste in film

Stalker (Tarkovsky)

Honorable mentions: The Plague Dogs, Mitt liv som Hund, Låt den rätte komma in, The Thing, Everything is Illuminated, The Tenant, The Cell.

>>1368277
I know mulholland is shit, but i think all movies are shit. what do you like

>>1368283

fuck off you insecure hipster twat. you "like" mulholland drive "but not really"? all movies are shit? lmao.

>>1368288
my favourite movie is actually turtles can fly but i dont think anybody here would know about it (because its so obscure lol no because its a kurdish film). Film is a poor medium.

twilight

Fight Club
I also read several book from Palahniuk... highly recommended!

Uh.. you're wrong? Film is the ultimate medium. It combines every art form into one so it is perfect

>>1368446
no way. it's apples and oranges. a lot of the greats in literature make for shit movies. there are a few good ones though.

>>1368446
>It combines every art form
naw, son, it combines the watered down art forms that are better combined within opera.

>>1368159
This and The Color of Pomegranates.

>>1368446
Video games? Nope.

Best movies:

Mamma Mia!
ABBA: The Movie
Goodbye, Lenin!
Noi Albinoi
