Watch older movies like The Seventh Seal.

Also, The Vanishing is some recent Lighthouse kino. I promise you, you would not regret watching it. It made me feel a kind of angst I don't think I've ever felt from a movie.

>>13899850
SLOW BURN

>>13898844
what is it suppose to mean?

Unironically Lovecraft stories, there's a fucking giant octopus in that trailer.

>>13900150
I have drained everything I could from Lovecraft already

Im very upset that Dafoe is in this movie. This guy's previous movie is easily the best horror of the decade so Im hyped but Dafoe weirds me out so much he takes me out of what Im watching.

Big fan of A24 films. I don't watch them blindly, but I've noticed that I enjoy most of what they put out.

That and Annapurna.

>>13900240
what is your top favorite ?

>>13898124
I can't wait to get wasted off of rum in the theater while this is playing.

Try reading the works of William Hope Hodgson. Former sailor on a tramp steamer, wrote great short stories about sea monsters and pirate ghosts and other horrors of the briny deep.

He's the guy who inspired HPL to write about sea monsters.

Everyone is, other than contrarians and people that don't watch many movies.

I'm waiting the week after release, so I can be sure that the theater will be empty for the weekday. A crowd will ruin my experience.

When I saw Midsommar it was just me and some older black incel in the theater. I talked to him when it was over.

You should read the short story “Three Skeleton Key,” it takes place in a lighthouse and it’s a great horror story. I’m sure there are pdfs on google

I don't know if this is based on a novel or not, but it's one my favorites. It's for people who are familiar with Philosophy and literature. Only philistines call it pretentious or boring. This is the only kind of movies I'm able to enjoy.

Also, watch Woody Allen's movies too. Start with Stardust Memories.

>Not Wild Strawberries

>>13903071
That's a very good movie too.

>>13903098
If you ever get a chance, you should check out Torment. It was directed by the lead actor in Wild Strawberries, but the script is Bergman. Super good motion picture.

>>13903108
I'll watch it tomorrow. I'd watch it right now but I'm reading a book.
Thanks for the recommendation.

>>13903116
Whatcha reading?

>>13903129
The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa.
Yes, I'm the annoying poster spamming his quotes.
It's an excellent book but it might sound depressing for people who are not used to pessimism.

>>13903129
Also, what a beautiful painting.

>>13903149
No, that's supposed to be a good trip. Kind of avant-garde right? I'm reading Chaucer.

>>13903168
>Kind of avant-garde right?

More like a poetic Schopenhauer.
It's a book that deals with emptiness and the indifference toward external things, society, laws and etc. It's basically a diary written in a poetic way.

Here some of his quotes:

Read the whole thread (if you have nothing better to do at the moment).

obviously Woody Allen took a lot of influence from Bergman. Threw on Annie Hall again recently though and it just feels like he’s trying too hard.

>>13903201
thanks anon, sounds like a cool book. Don't know of any noir-type books to recommend you other than Our Man in Havana.

>>13903225
I know, his films aren't highly rewatchable. Still you got to respect that he puts out a new movie almost every year. Damn!

>>13903239
I respect that he married his daughter, based and redpilled to the extreme

>>13903260

>>13903225
Try "Stardust Memories". It's his best, in my opinion.
