What are /lit/'s favorite films?

>> No.1842114

Wings of Desire.
Also amelie.

>> No.1842115

My personal favorites are Funeral Parade of Roses, Diary of a Shinjuku Thief, and Shimotsuma Monogatari

I somehow doubt the rest of /lit/ shares my taste in cinema, however

>> No.1842116

Favourite movie is The Last Unicorn. Works out 'cause its also my favourite book. Also in the top favourites are the Labyrinth & The Dark Crystal.

I don't care much for things in the comedy/romantic comedy genre. I need substance. Explosions are fine, too, though. I love me some explodey movies.

I just saw Dogtooth the other day, and was pretty impressed. But I'm surprised that it would be a "favorite" film.

In the mood for love is beautiful.
El secredo de sus ojos is quite good.

>> No.1842201

>>1842184
Firebreathing penis? Must've missed that part or you're talking about a different film. And what makes a 7.5 hour long film ineligible to make it to a genuine favorite film list?

Anyway, the photography of Dogtooth is stunning, and that's something I value a lot in films. Same reason why Soy Cuba is in there. Dogtooth also gets bonus points for being a recent film.

>> No.1842209

Man Bites Dog was cool, but not what I was expecting. It was way funnier.

That one with your mum, the two nigger midgets and the shetland pony where she plays a menstrual giant trying to mop her bleeding cunt with mice wrapped in cotton wool and made out to look like sheep, then the midgets DP her, and she lets them come on her, then she drinks her own menstruum and their spunk trough a tube. The best bit is when she's crying at the end, and the pony nuts all over her face, and she just starts crying even more.

that's where you come in and start fucking her arse, and when you come, you donkey punch the deserving slag. well fucking done
