A 15 year old can watch any movie. There is no high barrier or patrician films. It is a low brow art. Any movie watcher who thinks otherwise is a pretentious pseud

Look for adaptations of course, like The Talented Mr Ripley, On Chesil Beach, etc

Others I'd include:
The Flowers of Evil is weebcore lit series.
Ingmar Bergman's films
Sideways
The graduate
To live
The bridges of Madison county
Blue Valentine

Basically ask yourself if the film focuses on the concept, stars (rather than character), and speculative nature that departs from more down to earth realism (as opposed to le ghetto gangster so much shooting wow gritty realism). If it does then it's not lit.

Not sure about /lit/ but I like them
Bridge over the river kwai
Lawrence of Arabia
Phantom of the opera
Dracula
Frankenstein
Hunt for red October
Das boot
Interstellar
Deer hunter
Wild
12 angry men
Platoon
Thin red line
Goodfellas
Enemy at the gates
Amadeus (my favorite movie I think)
I assume /lit/ really likes anything by yasujiro ozu

In terms of anime
Vision of escaflowne
blue gender
These next ones are for all the kids out there
Death note
Violet evergarden
Neon Genesis(not the biggest fan of it)
Code Geass (probably not but I do like the little robots)

In terms of series I am sure there are some that are good enough for /lit/ but I can't think of them currently.

They used to air world masterpiece theater in an educational channel. Good times. A Dog of Flandas was pretty good.

Anyone can watch a Bresson movie and understand it. Kek at flickwatchers and tunelisteners thinking they have refined taste. There is a reason movies and music draw pseuds. It’s extra funny when they try to highlight their taste as more avant-garde, niche, and obscure, as if that makes them patrician

I don’t think you’re suited for this discussion. Move along.

[Anonymous No.22086634]

More like good art has depth. I have a feeling that Bresson fangirls on this site are 18 year old incels who wish to wear the frock. Once again, every film could disappear and nothing culturally would be lost

Why doesn’t a film like L’argent or A Man Escaped have depth?

[Anonymous No.22087938]

Bungou Stray Dogs for fun anime

The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) is pretty fucking kino cinema

Also have a soft spot for The Passion of Joan of Arc. Watch the Criterion Collection both as it's original silent depiction, and with the option to watch it with a score that ratchets up the emotion to 11.

Finally, Mirror (1975) by Andrei Tarkovsky

Decent entry-level list but you should branch out and develop your own taste.
>Amadeus (my favorite movie I think)
Ahistoric and gaudy. I gave it 3.5 stars but was considering giving it 3.

Note: This is not a list of good anime and manga. It's simply a list of anime which is self consciously trying to be artsy.
