Mary & Max is a wonderful movie. There's a collection of short animated films called Cartoon Noir which is lovely. I think 1984 (the one that came out in 1984) is fantastic, and I'll admit I'm a sucker for the Monty Python movies.

I fail to see what the ultimate problem with those film-makers is. They are some of the most important film-makers throughout the history of film and always worthy of discussion rather than a fleeting passion. I think maybe that's part of the problem. It seems like somebody has read a history book and is spouting names which have been critically assessed as 'worthy'.

Did you watch the film? Because that wasn't the impression I've had at all. Jews are not portrayed as angels - for example, very meaningful for me was what Tevye told his daughter about some Russian guy "Yes, he is a man... but he is different kind of man". BTW, later he renounced his daughter for marrying that guy - not very positive portrayal, I think.

Besides, the movie shows relations between Jews and goys as friendly and pogroms were initiated by Russian authorities, not the people. One of my favourite scenes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvr8AjT0aD0&feature=relmfu

Well it's something people get unnecessarily elitist about, at any rate.

But it is a popular opinion. The Blu-rays had 40 hours of bonus content, but none of that was the original theatrical release versions. George Lucas actually spoke out against editing old movies in the late 80s. He's one of the best trolls ever, and I'm sure he's asked Disney to keep it going.

Star Wars is hardly cult.

And frankly the simplicity of the story works to its advantage. It was supposed to be like an old sci-fi serial (originally they were going to make a Flash Gordon film), and they ended up doing a paint-by-numbers of Joseph Campbell's monomyth.

/tv/ is one of those boards where people post a screencap without stating in the post or file-name the movie's title, seemingly for the sole purpose of getting to call someone a pleb when they ask what movie it's from

the constant usage of 'pleb' on /tv/ is another source of some amusement to me. it's like hearing campers at a fat camp call one another 'fatass.'

Yes.

I think they actually did a DVD transfer of the Laserdiscs, but the quality was shoddy and the picture was windowboxed. It's hilarious how much they fucked it up, which is why some people think they did it bad on purpose.

I also had some VHS copy of the original Star Wars, not sure what happened to it, but it had some pitch on the front like, "This is your LAST CHANCE to see the original editions of Star Wars before the Special Editions!"
It's as if they knew how much they were screwing with people's childhoods.

This thread has problems precisely because you trapped people into naming their favorite films and ultimately people are either going to:

- Seem like a try-hard

- Sound generic as fuck

- Be one of those my favourite directors are godard, bergman, bresson, tarkovsky etc meme bastards (that would be me)

If you'd have asked people to name some films that they've seen recently which they thought were good, you'd have gotten a much better debate.

You live you learn I guess.

Stalker is pretty much my favorite film of all time. I still have yet to see anything else by Tarkovsky, though. Snatch and Rock 'n Rolla are excellent, and the 1979 version of All Quiet on the Western Front is also quite good. Dr. Strangelove should not be missed, and The Thing (1982 version) is a classic.

I've no problem with being 2 at current but I try to watch at least 1 contemporary movie a week (whether it's foreign or Am Indy). Let's face it, the pendulum swings in favour of older films if just by sheer quantity. You'd be doing yourself a injustice by not watching them or giving them the full respect they deserve.

Either way, I'm beginning to enjoy contemporary cinema far more and I think that's a good thing because at least they say something about the culture I live in right now.

You beat me to it you god you.
We all ready hang Lang and Bergman covered (amazing directors all around if you want to check out the rest of their works.) Other great directors who consistently pumped out masterpieces are Akira Kurosawa and Federico Fellini.
If looking for contemporary director I would say Pedro Almodovar or Darron Aronofsky.
For movies that I have not watched anything else by the director I'm going with Wristcutters or American Beauty.

Damn I'm a film junkie.

If you haven't seen this film just download it right fucking now. It's Naked, by Mike Leigh.

Other films you must watch:
Brazil by Terry Gilliam.
Naked Lunch by Cronenberg.
Melancholia and Idioterne, both by Lars Von Trier.
Le Temps du Loup by Haneke (well, you should watch his whole filmography asap if you already haven't)
Anything David Lynch has ever done too.
Encounters at the End of the World by Herzog. Oh, and Aguirre, Wrath of God by him too.
Once Upon a Time in America by Scorsese if you like gangster shit (Robert de Niro is awesome in this film).
Munich by Spielberg (yes, Spielberg, you will shit bricks with this if you expect anything like his mainstream shit).
Oh, and Gaspar Noe's Carne, I Stand Alone and Irreversible (in this order).

So on that note, his Dollars Trilogy (Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good the Bad and the Ugly) and his trilogy of "times that hardened America" Once Upon A Time in the West (his best work), the second one (forgettable due to how amazing everything else is) and Once Upon a Time in America (you know, gangster, prohibition, yadda yadda)

you realize that this movie is extremely acclaimed and not only part of film history, sporting one of if not the most impressive sound and light engineering (definitely the most impressive if you take the fact that lynch barely had any money) of it's time, but it's also one of the most acclaimed films there ever is. If you do a quick google search you'll see that there are dozens of papers written by film scholars (i.e. people that have been studying the subject for years and know more about it than you probably ever will). To be honest with you, it's really, really obvious that you're just talking out of your ass. I totally see why you wouldn't like the movie, but making a claim like yours is just plain dumb.

It being acclaimed [whether it be from a technical standpoint, or from scholarly one] does not invalidate one's taste. If he does not think it's good, that's his right.

Citing scholars may as well be citing Rottentomatoes scores: they're based on subjective measures.

Though, if he had said the technical parts of the film [lighting, sound, et al.] were poor, then you'd have some ground to stand on.

Wow, great taste. How many films have you seen by each director listed? My favorite in the bunch is João César Monteiro. His masterpiece is The Divine Comedy but the Yellow House is amazing as well. And if you understand the culture he's in, you can appreciate even more his brilliance and clever dialogues filled with sexual innuendo and sarcasm.

Tasteless hack. "lol omg, he juxtaposes grotesque with mundane, so weird!111" Made a mockery out of Dune

>Kubrick
Overrated. Has technical prowess due to background as photographer, but little substance behind his films. Tried to be deep in 2001, but it's just for druggies.

>Kurosawa
Popular films for a popular audience. Modern day equivalent would be Transformers, but pretentious people still enjoy it because his films are shot in black and white.

>Bunuel
SLICIN UP EYEBALLS AH AH AH OH

You have reached a "mainstream patrician(hipster)" plateau. Now that your likes and dislikes are more attuned to you, you can venture off and stake your claims on whatever films you view that speak to you. You will then have attained "actual hipster." Congrats.

Same with /lit/ though when you think about it. The majority of people here read similar books based on a consensus that they are 'the best' or 'classics'.

Really, if you enjoy pulp fiction more than certain classics, everyone should accept that. But it usually isn't the case.

Pan's Labyrinth
Seven Samurai
Godfather I (and to a lesser extent II)
The first half of Goodfellas
Django Unchained was probably my favourite recent film, closely followed by the Hobbit
>inb4 ">the Hobbit"
I know its shit, but I have a nostalgic hard-on for Gladiator, it was my favourite film as a child.

The first half is him talking about the beginnings of his relationship with the mafia. He comes from an abusive household and the mafiosos treat him like family, give him everything he could ever want. Its all very happy and nostalgic.
The second half is the decline of the family. They go to jail, get involved in drugs, he gets caught and becomes a rat.

The second half isn't bad really, it serves its purpose very well. I just personally enjoyed the first half more.

Perhaps this is outside the domain of /lit/ but could we make a /lit/ recommended films list? Based on the content of this thread vs. /tv/'s typical stuff, it seems worthwhile.

There's 113 directors listed there. If on average each director's work is say 2 hrs (that's a conservative estimate) and you've watched on average 3 films by each director (again, very conservative) then thats 600 hrs or 25 full days of watching. It just seemed like a lot to me, but maybe it's not that unreasonable.
