Burmese Harp, Ran and Toratoratora.

Alternatively my favourite movie Apocalypse Now, if you haven't seen it lol, or Paths of Glory because it's so great it's a meme.

Inherent Vice by Pynchon

ITT: people who fill their shelves with books they don’t read whilst they consume other media

>>17328815
if I watch movies that means I dont read books?

>>17328965
Great film. Unsurprisingly Bernanos' books are very close to Bresson's work.

This thread doesn't seem to be working out. Please prove me wrong

Not Lolita please

(Brideshead Revisited)
Don't recommend more Waugh, though, I know that

>>17328491
honestly, this movie is overrated. And no, I will not recommend a book.

I haven't seen any movies posted in this thread. I don't normally watch art house shit but god damn, I'd've figured I would have seen at least a couple.

I know Legion, Red Dragon, and Fail Safe are based on books, but these are my favorite movies.

>>17328394
Good fucking movie. Depending on if you're looking for something with an aesthetic, thematic, or philosophical similarity, your recommendations are gonna be way different. Try Notes from Underground.

Secret of Kells
>inb4 someone recommends the Book of Kells

/tv/ here, i legitimately don't read books but i'd like to at least start. here are a few movies that represent my taste

Bump

fascinating to me that /lit/'s taste in film is as pretentious and boring as /lit/'s taste in literature. I guess some people just like listening to other people wax philosophical for extended periods of time

>>17332317
that's lolita

this thread is shit

>>17330241
The Cruel Sea. They aren't in uboats but they do have encounters with them.

I’m gonna assume you already know Bela Tarr’s frequent collaborator and screenwriter is the greatest living novelist.

Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield
not 'high literature' but one of my all time favs
Dienekes might be one of my favorite literary characters

I rarely watch movies so I can't give appropriate recommendations to any movies given here, but I hope that someone will help me.

>>17333345
Women and Men by McElroy or shit even Ulysses. In the Mood for Love is a goated film though. Check out Tsai Ming Liang as a director, too

>>17333347
No book rec but if you like ANtonioni check out the films of Jiia zhanke especially Still Life

>>17328394
Of course the novels of Krasnahorkai. Also Nietzsche or Dostoevsky. Less pretentiously, maybe the Lime Works by Bernhard or From the Heart of the Country by Coetzee

>>17330217
Schindlers List or Munich with Eric Bana. lmfao just kidding. Khalidi is dope as hell, if you like this check out the Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Illan Pappe. Re: Film recs, there's rich tradition of Israeli/palestinian film but I don't know it well enough to recommend. Check out Kiarostami for middle eastern film, especially The Wind will Carry Us. If you just want decolonial, then The Battle of Algiers is required viewing

>>17330648
Catcher in the Rye lmfao. Or Steinbeck. Gay

>>17330954
First, watch Sidney Lumet's films especially Before the Devil Knows You're Dead -- massive influence on the Safdie brothers, you'll see the resonance immediately and Marisa TOmei is so hot in it. For books, I would recommend Warlock by Oakley, Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut, Bourne Ultimatum the book (seriously), Infinite JEst (Seriously, just white knuckle it and man up about the length), Kafka on the Shore by Murakami, 2666 by Bolano, anything by Amis especially Money and London Fields, anything by Tom McCarthy especially Remainder. Hope you get into novels, should be fun if you enjoy good cinema!

>>17330954
Anon I'm sorry if this misses the mark, because I've never even heard of any of those films.
But if I were you, I'd start getting into books by reading novels. They tend to be easier and more enjoyable to read than philosophical texts, history books, et cetera. And if you want to build the habit of reading, you have to enjoy it, otherwise you'll quit.
Some simple recommendations that are fun and widely enjoyed:

The Hobbit
The Three Musketeers
Harry Potter (never read these, they seem kind of gay to be honest, but they're popular)
The Da Vinci Code/Angels and Demons
White Fang/The Call of the Wild
The Great Gatsby
Lord of the Flies
Brave New World

There are, obviously, a thousand more novels out there. But these are all relatively easy to get into, and don't require a steadfast commitment like, say, War and Peace or Ulysses. I'm sure the other anons on here will agree/disagree with this short list, but it's a start, and I hope it helps. Happy reading!

>>17334744
The differences between our lists are fucking hilarious. You: here is some poignant literature that follows along the lines you seek. They pair with your film choices like a fine wine to chateaubriand.

Me (>>17334764): hey man, read the Hobbit! It's great!

>>17337648
This film was very well done but did anyone else feel it went a bit too hard on the message? Also the massacre scene seemed like the director vicariously taking out his hatred on the rich through his characters.

>>17335720
Hi I'm racist actor Michael Douglas

>>17338319
How's the podcast coming along Michael

Just getting into reading so I cant give reccs sorry.

>>17337905
It could have been a bit more obtuse at the end definitely, but overall it seemed rather fitting for the film as a whole.

>>17333352
I hope someone answers this, I enjoyed that movie a lot. Although I think that Brawl in Cell Block 99 was better.

Best book I ever read. Movie soon.
