I always check these threads to make sure herzog gets his due.

Also bela tarr is one of my new favs I really like the long cut. also Krasznahorkai writes his scripts so this is a no-brainer

I forgot many others I absolutely love like Lang, Ozu and Forman.

I hate Malick and Aronofsky. They are always mentioned by some plebs. I think they are absolutely dull and idiotic in everything they do.

>> No.3261124

I like Malick but I cant quite pinpoint what is. I agree his movies aren't the most exciting things ever but when his movies finish I just want to watch them again. I feel like you do about Ozu. I dont find his films to be terribly entertaining

I like pretty much every director mentioned in this thread. But I'd like to add Chaplin and Truffaut.

And, adding to the Herzog love, I gotta say, "Stroszek" is probably my favorite movie....I think it's flawless.

Fucking a.

Although I did rewatch Thin Red Line lately and I think it's a decent film. It's too bad Malick is the cheesiest director alive and a terrible writer and kills any potential his films have of being great.

He delivers cliches wrapped in the attempt to be Heidegger's Holderlin.

Tree of Life was really bloated, Days of Heaven an overrated bore and New World I can't bring myself to finish because it's so cringe-worthy. Badlands is alright but really different from his other films.

Aronofsky just makes films for druggies.

>> No.3261206

He doesn't really. They kind of collaborate and present a fake script to the producers just to prove that they know what they're going to be doing but they don't really stick to the script. At least that's what Tarr says in interviews.

Tarr's wife is his editor. Tough job she must have.

Malick is a genius. Badlands and Days of Heaven are two of the best movies to come out in the last 50 years. If you can't dig the whole "beauty is intensely painful but it's all we ever have and that's beautiful" thing that pretty much dominates Thin Red Line, New World, and Tree of Life, I can understand that, but Days of Heaven and Badlands are a whole nother thing.

>> No.3261221

>>3261124
It's not about being "exciting", because I don't mind slow, I get excited over other things. I find Malick to be dull in a much more profound way if that makes any sense.

>>3261181

I love how when you tell a teenager that Malick sucks he thinks you can't handle slow paced art films and non-linear narratives.

I don't really see how you don't think Thin Red Line/Brave New World/Tree of Life are about compassion and the pain of beauty. Also, if you read what I said before you did the whole "lol teenager hipster edgy" routine you'd notice that I can understand not liking those three films. I'm arguing that Days of Heaven and Badlands have very different themes from his later films. They're also better.

>> No.3261253

Getting big into Cassavettes' films.

Throroughly enjoyed PTA's The Master. It was a strange film that didn't quite go anywhere and none of the characters really changed at all but I loved it.

Haneke's Amour is also a very, very great film.

> compassion and the pain of beauty

Thin Red Line is a Hedeggerian take on calm in the face of death. It's not about beauty per se but Being.

Kubrick, Tarantino, Malick, Herzog. Not sure there is anyone else that causes me to watch a movie solely on a director's name.

Pretty much agree with everyone you've mentioned.

Don't know but I really like movies like Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Tarkovsky's Solaris, Blade Runner etc, where the focus isn't so much on plot as it is atmosphere, social/philosophical commentary, and subtle character development (kind of like my taste in books). Can anyone recommend more films like this?
