Also Griffith, Murnau, Stroheim, Chaplin, Rossellini, Godard, Visconti, Pialat, Fassbinder, Buñuel, Fuller, Cassavetes.

Gonna rec Anthony Asquith. He's probably the most underrated English director there was.

Spy Kids

I failed a couple of guys last night, but I could stream some french movies tonight if you guys are into it. I'll make a thread around 9 east.

Modern Romance

Léolo is a marvelous poetic film.

Withnail & I is fucking hilarious and deals with the topic of mediocrity and drugs, so you will feel identified.

The Long Goodbye if you want something /lit/ related.

Il Gatopardo for that reactionary aesthetic that is gaining traction.

Man Bites Dog so you know how to be edgy and meaningful.

Wake in Fright, this movie is like The Man Who Was Thursday but without the catholicism and more strayans and beer and torrid heat.

Viridiana and Belle du Jour by Buñuel. Just watch them and thank me later.

Herzog and Peckinpah are awesome too.

As much as I love Leones Man with No Name Trilogy. His Once Upon a Time...films (In the West, The Revolution, In America) are so much more thoughtful about their subject matter.

Lol who the fuck put that there, was it the all caps pedo

>>6061582
And yet whenever we talk about serious film, everyone name-drops mostly foreign and art-house directors.

I'm not saying that foreign, art-house, or contemporary cinema lack their own masterworks. It's just that the American (and British) film industry of the golden age had such massive advantages in its capital, talent, and cultural dominance that it easily stands head-and-shoulders above the filmmaking of other periods and places.

>>6061586
I'm not surprised to see that /lit/ has better taste in film than /tv/.

>>6061615
>Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (the film is even better than the play

>>6061594
Yeah, even the so called "art-house" (a very stupid word) filmmakers will say this, but it's something that everyone secretly knows

>>6061630
it's not true, though. good films are rare and come from all over the place. if anything, a big budget gets in the way of a good writer and director putting together something worth seeing (though it does still happen sometimes)

>>6061594
>foreign
Hey, I know that this might sound crazy, but what if not everybody here is American or British?

>>6061650
I suppose I was being presumptuous. But one would think that, in the world of film at least, non-Anglophones would understand that their film industry is considered "foreign" by Americans since America still dominates world cinema

>>6061641
We're talking about 40s and 50s Hollywood, the most creatively fecund era of cinema, where films were made that influenced practically everything that came after. What I and the other Anon said is true

Thread's lacking Jean Renoir.

Also, The man who loved women by Truffaut is the most book-like movie I know. It's also a masterpiece.

>>6061659
America still dominates blockbuster-tier cinema, but does it really dominate good/serious cinema?

Experimental visual shit, like Stan Brakhage. Film will never be as good as literature for telling stories, so the only good films are the ones that know their place and use the formal elements of the medium.

>>6061663

>>6061677
Only one mention though.

>>6061669
That's hard to say. Certainly nowhere near the extent to which it did in the past

>>6061660
i know what you're saying. the bottom line of quality tended to be higher in the US during that period, but the really good stuff has always been spread around everywhere films are made

>>6058721
>it's quite the experience.

>>6061685
I'm not really aware of what's going on right now in cinema, but I suppose that it will become more democratic with the Internet, cheap cameras, the possibility of watching virtually any film you want as many times as you want etc.

>>6061701
Technology may change the way we consume film, but I doubt it will somehow improve the quality of what's made.

>>6058947

mein faggot. . .

One of the best films ever.

Jean Cocteau you mongs
Not only he was director but a writer, a poet.
Great personality
+ Beauty and The Beast of his is beautiful

>>6061555
There's nothing pretentious about silent masters. There isn't a hint of pretension in their films. That's a pretty basic entry level list. I mean, it has Lubitsch and Keaton on it. Both excellent directors but they made popular entertainment while they were alive,

>>6061659
>America still dominates world cinema
America makes movies. They can't into cinema.

>>6061712
Not the quality, I mean that now you won't need the money and luck you needed 30 or 40 years ago to make a film.

>>6061736

>>6061484
>Tokyo Gore Police

10/10 movie

I just saw Leviathan, and damned if it isn't one of the best films of the last decade. It's an adaptation of the story of Job set in a small Russian town with a tyrannical mayor. Fucking brilliant in all regards, plus the credit music is a Philip Glass composition.

Orson Welles' adaptation of The Trial is pretty good. He thought it was better than Citizen Kane, but I don't.

Paul Schrader's Mishima biopic is stellar.

And a nice gesamtkunstwerk is 32 short films about Glenn Gould.

Since I'm reading The Ark Sakura by Kobo Abe, you might try the adaptation of his novel Woman in the Dunes.

>>6061758
>Paul Schrader's Mishima biopic is stellar.
Oh yes, that soundtrack killed me
I need to rewatch it

>>6058628
This protagonist is basically /lit/ the character

>>6058628

Like Someone in Love, Abbas Kiarostami (2012)
The story is nice and the characters are interesting.
There are no moving angles and the stillness of the camera creates an eerie calm in the viewer.
There is no music being played either, which further contributes to the calm.
It not only challenges common conceptions about how to shoot scenes, it creates a meta effect where it plays the viewer himself.


Turin Horse, Béla Tarr (2011)
The plot is great, and it's challenging not to empathize with the characters and their struggle as the movie develops.
The sound is composed of the main musical score, the characters and narrators voices, and constant wind.
Every day depicted shows the same habits in scenes shot from a different perspective.
The film is great in all the ways a film can be evaluated.


Elena, Andrey Zvyagintsev (2011)
It has a cool Philip Glass score in the soundtrack, it shows the contrast between rich and poor areas of Russia, the color work is very good, the characters surprise us and the story is gripping.


Lore, Cate Shortland (2012)
What can I say, other than the black forest is beautiful and it doesn't pay off being anti-semitic? Set after Germany loses the war.


Rebelle/War Witch, Kim Nguyen (2012)
A little girl is kidnapped into an army, and we see her try to survive.


Ida, Pawel Pawlikowski
Great chance to notice that people approach the ones different from them by questioning them on those differences; so the nun is asked for blessings, told she's judgmental and inquired on her sexual urges.
The story develops nicely, and the aesthetics are handsome.


R100, Hitoshi Matsumoto (2013)
Good for sadists, causes laughter all the way.


Barbara, Christian Petzold (2012)
Communist Germany! A lady trying to fuck her way out of it into the west! What can go wrong?


Faust, Aleksandr Sokurov (2011)
Great plot, naturally, although I found the movie character Faust more likeable than the one on the book, where I liked Mephistopheles more.
It has long scenes shot continuously, the color work is awesome, Isolda is angelical, and it feels like a dream.

Blue is the Warmest Color, Abdellatif Kechiche (2013)
Great aesthetics, nice character development, and lesbian sex.

>>6061357

turin horse doesnt have a plot but its one of the most amazing movies ive ever seen

Anything by this God.

>>6061903
no ive wanted to see julien and the michael jackson one. seen part of spring breakers, liked what i saw in terms of excitingly alternative cinema that was advertized to a mass market who got foold.

seen some of his short film work and i love it, but gummo was just the big cheese for me. maybe too long, but like when i read reviews that literally said "korine doesn't need special effects, he just used genuinely filthy sets" meant in a negative way i just shook my head. there were no sets. there were basements and people's backyards in the middle of the south. its like a movie without any artistic pretensions whatever. he just goes there and makes the thing. its inspiring.

>>6061943
>liked what i saw in terms of excitingly alternative cinema that was advertized to a mass market who got foold.

Yep, and James fucking Franco being a terrible actor honestly was great. I haven't seen Mr Lonely, but yeah for Gummo I remember reading his philosophy was like "if an actor smokes crack, let him smoke it and throw his microwave out a window before the shoot." And his crew worse hazmat suits for gummo

>>6058820
What's everyone got against Kubrick?

>>6061903
Gummo > Spring Breakers > Trash Humpers = Julien Donkey-Boy > Lotus Community Workshop > Mr. Lonely

>>6061963
He's popular therefore he must be pleb trash

>>6058807

>>6061582

>>6061963
Hmm I am not sure why people are turning against Kubrick. Most of his films are highly enjoyable.

>>6061969
Fuck off.

>posting any Hollywood stuff at all

>>6061976

>tfw nobody ever mentions Guy Maddin

No one?

>all these faux-intellectuals hating on Kubrick for cheap patrician 4chin points
I was gonna say I'm enjoying your shit, but I'm really not. Fuck off.

>>6062001
Anything that's specifically made to appeal to a wide audience at the expense of quality is probably going to be very pleb, yes.

>>6062010

>specifically made to appeal to a wide audience at the expense of quality

that is not what a Hollywood film is
most of the greatest films ever made came from Hollywood

>>6062010
A lot of great films appeal to a wide audience while maintaining a high standard of quality

>>6062010
>watching only inaccessible art films
>being this much of an elitist faggot

>>6061973
you are really wondering why? it's the eternal struggle of teenage fags on lit to be extremely "patrician". kubrick's work is highly acknowledged in general and that's why he is complete shit on this board.

i think a lot of the users here spend days just wiki searching through categories in order to find super unknown authors. i don't want to denounce those though, that really have a great knowledge in literature.

>>6062014
>that is not what a Hollywood film is
It is exactly what a Hollywood film is. Hollywood is a cultural industry. If a movie is not expected to make money, it doesn't get funded. If a movie has some aspect that might prevent it from being commercially successful, most of the time that aspect is cut out.

Anything by Todd Solondz.

>>6062029
In contrast, foreign film is not a cultural industry at all!

>>6062029

Hollywood films are not necessarily made at the expense of quality, dipshit

Money isn't negatively correlated with merit

>>6062017
A film can be high-quality and still be extremely pleb.

>>6062023
Nice assumptions, dumbass. "Inaccessible art film" is such an ignorant stereotype. I bet you only watch American movies.

>>6061995
why?

>>6062037
I know you think you can read people's minds but you can't. I didn't imply that, not even remotely. And not all American cinema is Hollywood.

>>6062038
>Money isn't negatively correlated with merit
Again, I didn't say it was. Do you people even know how to read?

>>6061835
I loved Faust even if I found it a bit difficult to follow as a non-German speaker and had to sacrifice some attention to dialogue for visual. That sort of juxtaposition of rapid changing dialogue with and an slow observant camera is fantastic and I love his obsession with filters and distortions.

>>6062042
a film can also be great and a hollywood movie, at this point you can admit that you're just trying to be edgy.

also define high quality

>>6061973
lit is just pretentious. Kubrick was a genius and quite recognized. There is nothing the tao lin faggots here hate more.

>>6062042
At this point, you're probably just baiting

>>6062050
>a film can also be great and a hollywood movie
I pretty much admitted that in my previous post. Jesus Christ, you're an idiot.

>>6062052
Quick, rank Kubrick's films. I have a theory I'd like to test out.

>>6062043

>>6062114

Your initial post implied a film's being marketed to a wide audience necessarily involved a lack of quality as a cost

>>6062114
so that means you imply there are good, funded, accessible movies not from hollywood, would you introduce me to a bunch of those?

>>6062069
Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut are his best

also, what happened to your experiment, assburger?

>>6062121
Only if the quality is sacrificed to maintain acessibility.

>>6062122
Were you seriously under the impression that only in America was there a film industry that made good, funded, accessible movies?

>>6062133

Sorry I lack your refined patrician tastes.

On a related note, "Chasing the Deer" sits in an uncanny valley of being genuinely enjoyable for someone with an interest in Jacobitism while staying in a tier only just above acting of the same caliber as "The Room".

Case in point is Brian Blessed.

You'll laugh, and if you have a heart, you'll Feel.

It's not that you lack patrician taste, it's that you lack any taste whatsoever.

My favorite director. It's disappointing how little he's mentioned.

>>6062270

>>6061963
My guess would be that people find it annoying how often he's mentioned.

i love reading lists of 10 random canonized films or directors over and over, great thread

>>6063179
this and he's the number one favorite aUt0r of dudes who are trying to act like bonduck saints wasn't their favorite movie as of 5 months ago

Bergman is the greatest filmmaker of all time, and one of the most profound artists of the 20th century.

Hahahahahahahaha

His films tend blow.
I'm not sure which one is his best though.There Will Be Blood or Master?

>>6059933
He is not actually a hipster, if you at the way everyone else is dressed in that movie you can tell that he is actually just dressing fashionably.

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapter is probably the most /lit/ film I've ever seen.
It's a biographical film depicting the life of the famous Japanese author Yukio Mishima, thematically and cinematically combining real life events with characters and events from his novels, mixing them in a film that is enjoyable on multiple levels. It's got a very distinct, vibrant style that is augmented by the music of Phillip Glass, made especially for the film.
Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b50vS55sFYU

Games are not and cannot be art.
They do include art in them.
You can make beautiful chess pieces, but the essence of what makes a game is not artistic. It is a system, an assortment of algorithms that achieve some goals, they do not provide any message or emotion.

Movies on the other hand can be art and sometimes high art.
They can be contemplative and are inherently different than literature.
they convey visual and audio experiences no literature can convey.
Denying yourself the experience of good movies is limiting yourself.

Recent:
Leviathan
the great beauty
Melancholy
Tree of life

Something i was personally impressed with is Leaventurra, L'eclisse and other Antonioni films.
be warned, this is not for plebs.

Something that popped into my mind just now: woman in the dunes.

>>6058820

You obviously know nothing about the art and process of making movies.

Why do people forget documentaries?
One of the best movies iv ever seen: Shoah.
Of course the one about macnamara..Dont remember the name and Herzog's docs.

>>6061963
They dont have any experience or education in film making.

>>6063884
Negro the best Leviathan movie is the one by George P. Cosmatos.
Not even kidding
