/lit/ - Literature

You're trying to be more pretentious than /lit/ using film?

hahaha o wow.
Insecurity much?

Big Booty Bitches 1-10

It's like you grunted and strained the entire time while making the list to find the most obscure films by equally obscure but well-regarded directors.

I'm really surprised you don't have Werkmeister Harmonies in there.

>>4099556
In your defense, the movie I have seen out of those selections (Blow-Up) is fantastic, so I cannot yet judge you. I also love Dr. Strangelove.

>>4099556
The Rules of The Game will always be the best Renoir film.

>>4099569

Would have Pulp Fiction and The Godfather helped?

its funny because most the films are the most well known of their directors. I'm suprised you would have said that about Ray, Bergman, Kurosawa and Antonioni. I thought they were seen as relatively entry level.

this board has truly been reduced to spouting pretentious to anything they havent heard of.

>>4099561

>insecurity much?

doesnt that just glare in irony?

>>4099589
>doesnt that just glare in irony?

No, not even if irony could glare.

>>4099584

I recommend you see the other ones then, theyre amazing

>>4099589
What's your favorite Herzog film?

I bet OP owns a fedora (or more).

>>4099594

why

>>4099569
The only one of those I would immediately call into question is the Satyajit Ray one and maybe the Rohmer, because a: Ray's work is pretty exclusively Bengal and thus hard to appreciate except on a purely technical level and b: Nobody likes Rohmer anyway

For me it'd probably be:
1. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
2. Pierrot le Fou (1969)
3. The Milky Way (1969)
4. Mouchette (1967)
5. Zero de Conduite (1933)
6. The Silence (1963)
7. Sawdust and Tinsel 1953)
8. The Human Condition (1959-61)
9. Harakiri (1962)
10. Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985)

>>4099595
Because I am convinced he's the type of guy who owns a fedora.

>>4099589
You're totally dumb if you think Ikiru is Kurosawa's most famous film. Rashomon is--undoubtedly.

The Virgin Spring is Bergman's most famous film? Are you a troll? That's like saying "To Joy" is his most popular venture.

I've seen almost your entire list. So, no, it's not "omg, I've never heard of this! preteeeeeeentious!"

You're just paper-thin and trying too goddamn hard to look eclectic and learned

Yet, you can't even spell Buñuel right.
Get the fuck out of my face, dumb faggot.

Shit, I've been meaning to watch something by Satyajit Ray. Should I start with that OP?

Special Place: Mind Game (2004)
1. Kin-dza-dza
2. Come and See
3. Dellamorte Dellamore
4. Rashomon
5. The Seventh Seal
6. Das Boot
7. The Chaser
8. Trainspotting
9. Goodfellas
10. Fantastic Planet

>>4099606
Kurosawa's most famous film is Seven Samurai, I think it's even in the IMDB 250

>>4099606
At this point in the Internet age, I would say that The Seven Samurai is Kurosawa's most famous film (if only by name, considering the ubiquity of Rashomon story references in pop culture).

>>4099611
A shitload of his films are in the IMDB 250, but seven samurai is by far the highest at no. 17

OP's list is a bit try-hard, but it's all actually good stuff, and not just a sampler from online "best films of all time" lists. I actually love My Night at Maud's. I like it a lot more than the other "Six Contes Moraux."

>>4099598

This is a troll.

>picking Pierrot le Fou among many better Godard films
>getting the date wrong on Pierrot le Fou and forgetting that Godard's style changed after the May 1968 riots in Paris
>picking The Human Condition, utterly uninteresting film, but it's long and foreign
>picking The Silence among many better Bergman films. The Silence is the third best film in its own trilogy. Come on dude

>>4099610

you should start with the begining of the trilogy with pather panchali, its a great film, most people prefer it to apur sanshar, but apur sanshar got to me most i'd say.

>>4099606

and your credibility is lacking so badly with all that vehemence and emotion. especially with the last two lines... how old are you? 12?

jesus christ, this board..

1. In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar-Wai)
2. Mirror (Tarkovsky)
3. Wings of Desire (Wenders)
4. Taste of Cherry (Kiarostami)
5. Autumn Sonata (Bergman)
6. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick)
7. Au Hasard Balthasar (Bresson)
8. Hannah and Her Sisters (Allen)
9. The Cook, the Thief, his Wife, and her Lover (Greenaway)
10. Shaun of the Dead (Wright)

Changes all the time anyway other than a couple of positions

>>4099618

i still dont see how my list is try hard, not that it's a bad thing if my taste has come to that point imo

but if thats what it is then sure, i appreciate these films mostly in a personal basis. thats why a lot of them like red desert, lola, blow up and loves of a blonde are so favoured

>listing the directors and years in brackets
lol, you might as well list the titles in the original foreign languages to get extra tryhard points

>>4099556
>>4099598

>>4099556
>no films after 1970
>no hollywood

op, i think you're compensating

here's mine:

>Juliet of the Spirits (Fellini 1965)
>Mulholland Drive (Lynch 2001)
>Moonrise Kingdom (Anderson 2012)
>Step Brothers (McKay 2005)
>8 1/2 (Fellini 1963)
>Lawrence of Arabia (Lean 1962)
>Cool Hand Luke (Roseberg 1967)
>Children of Paradise (Carne 1942)
>Nosferatu the Vampyre (Herzog 1979)
>Pulp Fiction (Tarantino 1994)

>>4099623
why would a 2001 fan pick mirror as his favorite tarkovsky?

also why do you like balthasar?

>>4099645
It's definitely relevant


>>4099654
because i like them both
they gud mubis

>>4099658
fuck you! elaborate your choices immediately!

I bet you have a lot of friends, OP. I bet you're just the life of the party.

Let's make a list:

1. Bladerunner (Scott)
2. Brazil (Gilliam)
3. A Single Man (Ford)
4. The Autumn Sonata (Bergman)
5. Mulholland Drive (Lynch)
6. Oslo, 31. August (Trier)
7. Orlando (Potter)
8. Stalker (Tarkovsky)
9. Visitor of a Museum (Lopusjanskij)
10. The Wrestler (Aronofsky)

Hi,

You have mistaken this forum for a place where thinly-veiled attempts at seeming more thoughtful than most goes unnoticed.

Here's a tip. You are posting on Japanese image board. If your opinions had value, you wouldn't be posting them here.

>>4099695

rewatched this one recently after a really long time. probably the only bad miyazaki film. felt like a disney production.

>>4099556
>the most recent moi is made in 1974
Born in the wrong generation general?

>>4099703

I like it, mostly because of the scenarios and the design than by its history. But I was not sure about including this movie on the list or Totoro or Spirited Away.

>>4099654
>why would a 2001 fan pick mirror as his favorite tarkovsky?
What do you mean?

>>4099695

Damn! I forgot one of my favorites: The 7 Samurais.

I made this one:
>>4099695

But man! That finla scene is heartbreaking.

life is brief.
fall in love, maidens
before the crimson bloom
fades from your lips
before the tides of passion
cool within you,
for those of you
who know no tomorrow
life is brief
fall in love, maidens
before his hands
take up his boat
before the flush of his cheeks fades
for those of you
who will never return here

life is brief
fall in love, maidens
before the boat drifts away
on the waves
before the hand resting on your shoulder
becomes frail
for those who will never
be seen here again
life is brief
fall in love, maidens
before the raven tresses
begin to fade
before the flame in your hearts
flicker and die
for those to whom today
will never return

>>4099725

Forget to quote you:

>>4099556

Here's my film backlog instead.

I'm debating whether Annie Hall should just be swapped for (of course) The Godfather, and whether The Seventh Seal should be swapped for Persona. I just really like Woody Allen when he makes good movies.

>>4099760
babbys first try at not being a hollywood sheep

>>4099760
... that last sentence lost its introduction somehow

>>4099755

i've heard Lyndon has some impressive visuals it's probably the only Kubrick i've not yet watched(I refuse to watch A Clockwork Orange and Lolita).

i've already seen a couple on there but I need to mark down which ones. Metropolis is on TV all the time but I always end up missing the first half an hour or it's usually right at the very end which pisses me off immensely.

do u ever get the feeling pynchon got super influenced by that shit for Gravity's Rainbow? I used to think Pynchon is too gangsta to rip off shit from a mainstream movie...right up until i read Vineland with all it's horrible movie tropes, oh god fuck that book

>>4099767
by that shit i mean dr. strangelove of course

>>4099764
Sure. I'm a film critic. But whatever, anon. You keep on believing your anti authoritative attitude is a guarantee of artistic quality. You keep believing anyone cares when you shit on Allen and Hitchcock for being "entry level."

>>4099776

>>4099808

>>4099801

Aliens was a good action movie, but the first one blows it out of the water because of the atmosphere and vibe it gives off.

Any /lit/fags care about scripts?

Pic related is famous and notorious for its Hollywood model. I want to read it for interest.

>>4099833
>Any /lit/fags care about scripts?

I like them.

I think of writing romantic comedies and tragedies to the theater, and one of my main sources of ideas and plots for comedies are the scripts of Billy Wilder.

He is Shakespearean in his comic talent, and in his lack of any philosophy of life or religious views, as well as his lack of guilt and shyness in face of human sexuality (he only lacks, of course, that wonderful language that no one has managed to match - he can recreate, however, the witty dialogue).

>>4099912
Whatever you say.

>>4099920
it's a supremely difficult and special film. you would never dare to include it in a list if you had a real close connection to it. just out of respect to its greatness. it's above everything. few people truly get tarkovsky's films (so it seems to me).

y tho

>>4099896

>implying that isn't a compliment

>>4099936
I found it difficult the first time I watched it, but now I think it's relatively easy to watch and understand.
Tarkovsky is very entry-level. He's one of my favorite directors though.

>>4099972
it never ceases being difficult

>>4099983
Maybe you just haven't watched harder films, and I don't mean this as an offense. Film is like math, once you've tackled harder things, the ones you've struggled with in the past seem easy.

>>4099994
> Film is like math

you are the worst

>>4099997
Read the rest of the post, you idiot.

1. Mirror (Tarkovsky)
2. 8 1/2 (Fellini)
3. Breathless (Godard)
4. Barry Lyndon (Kubrick)
5. Persona (Bergman)
6. The Phantom of Liberty (Bunuel)
7. Mulholland Drive (Lynch)
8. The Third Man (Reed)
9. Rashomon (Kurosawa)
10. Raging Bull (Scorsese)

See my list is actually accessible as well as good.

>>4100004
>See my list is actually accessible as well as good.
You're not as much fun to hang out with as the Aliens guy though, anon. Not by a long short. Fellini can keep you warm.

I just recently started watching movies. As you can see i began with Japanese films. I really like Kobayashi, does that make me a socialist? Still need to watch Ozu.

To wich particular era/director should i move next to? I see lots of Bergman and Tarkovsky so i'm thinking of those 2 after i'm done with Kobayashi/Ozu/Kurosawa.
Also, any other significant Japanese filmmakers i'm missing?

>>4099610

>New wave

His most acclaimed work pre-existed before the movement. Just because his work is associated with it doesn't really make him a member, he said so himself.

>>4100196
yes, lovely lady

>>4100200

Bresson is the fucking man.

>>4100208
i see

>>4100204
it pre-existed before it, huh?

>>4100211

Yup. No need for explanation.

>>4100215
you're the boss.

>>4100200

Also, if you don't like Hollywood you're a bitch incapable of independent thought.

whats that google isnt helping

cosmopolis was so fucking good! right guys?

>>4100225

Any of you pretentious cunts like Fritz Lang?

>>4100308
9/10 it was ok

>>4100311
Yeah, I'm a Fritz Lang man myself.
Metropolis, M, the list could go on...

>>4100315
Yep, me too.
Metropolis, M! The list could go on for AGES.

>Spider (2002)
>A History of Violence (2005)
>Eastern Promises (2007)
>A Dangerous Method (2011)

opinions on these please

>>4100318
So many great ones.
Like Metropolis. M is pretty good too.

>>4100307
STRANGE circus (2005) my bad my mind hasn't snapped back

>>4100320
I keep seeing people bring up Metropolis, but they often neglect M and those other great films he made.

>>4100319
i really liked a dangerous method, but i've seen a lot of people saying they found it disappointing.

i think part of it is that it's a very low key movie and it's easy to expect something high intensity given the director and the subject matter. it's a very unhysterical movie despite dealing with hysteria in part

but i thought it was a beautifully nuanced portrayal of jung and his relationships with spielrein and freud. i think it's fassbender's best performance. keira knightly does a good job too imo, even if it is easy to laugh at her silly faces

>>4100325
His other great films sure are great.

I'm a film major who hangs around /lit/. I eschew your idea of ranking because I have no idea how I'd even rank these but these are some of my favourite movies.

8) Sans Soleil
6) Eros Plus Massacre
3) Symbiopsychotaxiplasm
1) Au Hasard Balthasar
9) Paris Belongs To Us
10) Stalker
7) A Woman Under The Influence
5) Week End
4) L'avventura
2) La Jetee

i preferred the anime metropolis

more feels, better music, less preachy

>>4100271
>Implying that bad men can't make good art
>implying that the content of a man's character weighs on the merit of a movie

1)Monty Pythons: The Meaning of Life
2)GoodFellas
3)Moneyball
4)Star Wars
5)The Hobbit
6)The Life of Pi
7)Drive

Thats about all I can really think of as far as favorite movies go

Also, I saw "The Meaning of Life" and "The Hobbit" on LSD, both were equally incredible.

>>4100335
Nice animation, too. The two movies are so different, though, that I don't really bother comparing them.

>>4099556

1.Memories of Murder
2.Yojimbo
3.For A Few Dollars More
4.The Chaser
5.The Presidents Last Bang
6.Unforgiven
7.The Outlaw Josey Wales
8.Godfather PT2
9. A Bittersweet Life


I don't give a fuck, this ain't /tv/, you can't hold me

>>4100333
Great list actually.

>>4100338
What is a glorious film like Moneyball doing with that trite?

>>4100335
oh fuck I loved the shit out that movie

>>4100340
yeah, i know that it's not really a remake, just a different thing inspired by a picture from the original. it's still fun to compare though
i really love the animation style as well and the cgi stuff was mindblowing at the time, even if it hasn't aged perfectly.

>>4100343
star wars? trite?

>>4100225

>Also, if you don't like Hollywood you're a bitch incapable of independent thought

Or not American. I'm sure the most celebrated older Hollywood movies all depict the downfalls of some character like it's some massive surprise that not all Americans are living the high-life. I admit film-noir and New American Cinema of the 70s is pretty good. I'm not sure if the later counts as Hollywood in all cases though.

>>4100343
>Goodfellas
>trite

>moneyball
>not trite

>>4100333
>Symbiopsychotaxiplasm
how is that? it seems interesting but also potentially of interest primarily to people who actually work with film and so on

>>4100333
what can film major tell us about balthasar

>>4100323
thanks ill check it out :^)

>>4100330

>>4100333
how's those job prospects?

>>4100225

>>4100351

Well it's relationship with film probably does become an interesting subject matter but I don't think that's the only appeal. It's one of the few things I can think of which features people knowingly portrayed by a camera but acting as if they weren't being filmed at all. I can't think of too many other ways in which that criteria has been filled. Also it has one of the strangest endings I've ever seen filmed. Some crazy guy who lives in the park comes and has 15 minute conversation with the crew about his entire life.

>>4100352

That he liked it. It's an interesting movie if for no other reason than Bresson effectively portrays the donkey as a human being throughout. Kicked up, spit out, loved, envied and eventually abandoned and left to die. Using an animal allows us to look at Balthasar as a thing in relation to others, not something to either attach or detach ourselves from as we do with people. I've never studied it though; those are my stupid thoughts.

>>4099556
>dat list

Fuck off

>>4100367

>how's those job prospects?

Really, on /lit/? Pretty poor I suppose. Film was split with English.

8. Greetings (Brian de Palma, 1968)

>>4100379

Though I don't blame film for getting a bad reputation I suppose. If I could go back I wouldn't have bothered with it. It's not even very interesting and studying difficult/interesting films is marginalised in favour of popular movies which is terribly stupid in retrospect. The only part of it I really think I got anything out of was my thesis paper on Terrence Malick's relationship with transcendentalism. Pointless subject matter but even my module convenor said she was surprised to see somebody take on something like that.

The Truman Show
Repulsion
A Tale of Two Sisters
The Headless Woman
Synecdoche, New York
Lost Highway
Last Year at Marienbad

how come everyone on 4chan is a patrician in everything?

>>4100407
it's because it was originally an anime site and we know how cultured anime lovers are
it just kind of grew from there into the haven of intellectualism you see today

>>4100407

You haven't been to /tv/.

Probably because most of us are outcasts so we have the time to follow our interests

>>4099556

Does anybody else find film a more intimidating medium than literature to understand? Not because of complexity but rather because there's less time to take it all in. You are with films for a fraction of the time you're with a novel. I think studying literature demands a lot of time and memory but understanding film demands actively working in a manner that is so very different to experiencing a movie.

Y'all need some education on silent film and westerns. /tv/ can help.

>>4100425

I find it hard to believe TV ever discussed silent westerns.

You're welcome.

>>4100426

/tv/ only discusses Breaking bad and feet

>>4100426
I find it hard to believe /tv/ ever discussed

yeh no tank yeh

/lit/ is so much better for discussing film than /tv/. I wish we had a more serious film board.

>>4100433
They've discussed actresses' feet.

>>4100439

I know, every board is a pretentious circle jerk that only discusses non mainstream shit, except /tv/

Only thing stopping me are the social justice warriors. Can't stand them.

>if it is black and white, then it probably means is good.

This was actually pretty tricky to come up with, most are pretty recognizable, no particular order (except for the first).

>Blade Runner (Scott)
>Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Kubrick)
>Oh! What a Lovely War (Attenborough)
>The Ruling Class (Medak)
>Lawrence of Arabia (Lean)
>Dr. Zhivago (Lean)
>Brazil (Gilliam)
>No Man's Land (Tanović)
>Little Shop of Horrors (Corman)
>Window to Paris (Mamin)

The last ones a real oddball.

1. Days of Heaven (Terrence Malick)
2. In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar-Wai)
3. Ikiru (Akira Kurosawa)
4. Blade Runner (Ridley Scott)
5. The Tree of Life (Terrence Malick)
6. Paris, Texas (Wim Wenders)
7. Once Upon a Time in America (Sergio Leone)
8. 2046 (Wong Kar-Wai)
9. 12 Angry Men (Sidney Lumet)
10. Mulholland Drive (David Lynch)

Actually, I asked for recommandations in /tv/ yesterday, and the answers were very nice. I don't know what is the problem with /tv/.

>>4100540

>I don't know what is the problem with /tv/.

People just have to ask nicely. Recently there was been a Reddit flooding and it's become chaotic. If you start a thread humbly without looking like you're a 'newfag' or possible redditor you'll get nice replies with good recommendations. As with every other board, the success of a thread starts with OP.

>>4100558

/tv/ has always been shit. /tv/ is what /v/ would be if /v/ only discussed Skyrim and Call of Duty

>>4100561

>Wasn't there for LOST

Most fun I had on 4chan in years. /tv/ was always a shithole, but it has its moments. Just because your shitty godard threads don't get bumped doesn't mean people are ignorant/uncultured.

>>4100979

wtf Will Oldham is an actor ?

Literally watched none of these. Downloading:
Blow up,
Ikiru,
Sans Soleil
as we speak.
Does anybody know if I chose good? Are there any films that you guys might consider a real treat - like reading Borges for the first time, or Moby Dick equivalent treats?

>>4100979
subtle troll ? I liked most of those movies though (the ones ive seen, all of them except for old joy chungking, and 2046)

>>4101075
Ikiru and blow up are great, sans soleil I never saw.

go look at criterion and also:
http://explore.bfi.org.uk/sightandsoundpolls/2012

>>4101075
The guy who put sans soleil on his list also put la jetee on his list. It's from the same director, so if you like one, the other might be worth checking out.
