I find /tv/ is absolutely terrible for this stuff. The taste here is closer to mine.

OP, what kind of films do you wanna watch?

>> No.2452173

2001
Wings of Desire
Chinatown
Annie Hall
Goodfellas
12 Angry Men
Sunset Blvd.
The Decalogue
The Fountain
Aguirre, Wrath of God
Chungking Express
Apocalypse Now
Persona
City of God
Blade Runner
Pulp Fiction

All fantastic.

>> No.2452184

>>2452173
Yep, this. If there's a movie you haven't seen here, watch it.

Also if you want something mindfuckesque, watch Melancholia. It's great. Or Tree of Life (shitstorm incoming)

>> No.2452198

>>2452173

My only concern with this fantastic (albeit entry level) list is The Fountain. I would replace it with Requiem for a Dream.

Also, as Dekalog is a series, it would probably be better to replace it with Double Life of Veronique.

>> No.2452209

>>2452198
Eh, it's was poorly critically received but I loved it. Requiem for a Dream is good, but I think it loses some of it's effect on reviewing. I haven't seen any of Kieślowski's other work so I can't judge.

Requiem for a Dream is an edgy turd for teenagers. Trainspotting is by far more interesting in the drug-related genre.

>> No.2452232

>>2452230
Can't believe I forgot to add Trainspotting to that list. I love that movie.

>> No.2452243

>>2452232
dudebro, there are loads of amazing movies you didn't add, but that's okay, the list would go on for hundreds of lines if you had to put every masterpieces! That list is a good start, everyone should watch these.

Also, if I may add OP, you should watch Babel, Melancholia, and The Beat That my Heart Skipped (I'm pretty sure nobody watched this, this goes to all of you in this thread. This is the second best film I've ever watched)

>> No.2452246

I watched Revanche the other week, it's a very good German movie about a guy who robs a bank.

If you like anime, I also recently saw Mind Game and thought it was good as well.

Movies I think about a lot:
Videodrome
Dune
Akira
Minority Report
The Last Unicorn
The Thief and the Cobbler
Heathers

Anyway having a good movie experience is all about what kind of movie you're in the mood for and where you are in your life. Don't wait too long to see movies that you'll be too good for when you're older!

if you're in the mood for a good Sandra Bullock flick but want something a little personal and esoteric, avoid the mainstream trash that grape smuggler was peddling and check out this little gem in the rough. It mingles absurdity with light romance with such an adept hand you'll be left questioning the very notion of romance and possibly, life itself

Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo

Speaking of German directors, the last truly great film I watched was "The Lives of Others". This one is in German, though.

>> No.2453452

I am yet to see a better film than Into the Wild. I really like The Squid and the whale as-well and then a shit ton of other movies but I haven't seen a film I really liked in about a year :/
