Why is The Will Be Blood receiving some love here? I watched it yesterday and I wasn't impressed.
To contribute:
I don't watch lots of movies, but if I ever developed a list of my favourite movies, In Bruges and The Machinist would probably be on top. Worth mentioning Risky Business, Breakfast Club and The Fire Within, but I know these aren't very good movies.

- Soylent Green because I have a hard-on for dystopian societies and i cry every time I watch Sol dying
- The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, because the music is fantastic and I have to give it to a movie that uses music to narrate while the characters remain silent and completely works as a replacement for dialogue.
- Voices of a Distant Star, because the theme of people simply drifting away from each other has always fascinated me, be it sailors that never return to their homeland or little girls that jump with their robots into a wormhole.
- Nosferatu, because I like the horrible and macabre atmosphere it's set upon, and that's gotta the most damn awful-looking vampire I've ever seen in a movie and it fits perfectly into this film.
- Hellraiser because it makes hell look actually cool, it's not just flames and red imps, it takes suffering and demons to a completely different level, almost justifies eternal damnation and puts suffering and pleasure on the same side.

I guess if I ever have someone come over to my house wanting to watch a movie, I'd pick from one of those five. But still, talking about only five movies it's pretty hard, like I didn't even mention my favorite comedy or drama.

First off, as much as I like the studio, Ghibli in the top five is a no. Second off, even measuring only against other Ghibli works, would you really say those are their best?

Well, to each their own, I guess, but I disagree. You're right about those two being more emotion-evoking than Howl's Moving Castle or Porco Rosso, but I found Grave of the Fireflies to be intensely emotional (obviously not joyful, but exquisitely sad).
Also, I once tried recreating the original double bill of Grave and Totoro, with Totoro first (I'd actually put this equal with Kiki's for their most 'joyful' movie). A fucking rollercoaster of feels.

Such a depressing list. When I watch a sad movie, the beauty of it greatly intensifies it's melancholy. Your list a perfect illustration of this.

Seeing all the posts, /lit/ has great taste in film. A bit snobbish in the avoidance of mainstream entertainment-oriented productions (some of which are great) but I'm not complaining.

I spend most of my time over here despite being largely a bigger film-watcher than book-reader. What I've noticed is that /lit/'s taste differs a lot to mine and they practically always regard content heavy films as their favourites. Obviously it makes sense for them to regard literary-equivalent films highly but few here are ever taken back by films which push visual/auditory aspects over subject matter.

I'm not saying that equates to bad taste but it's something I've noticed.

I'm more interested in film than literature, but I prefer the literature board, since /tv/ is largely tv-related. A film board (separate from a tv board) would be great.

Anyway, I don't really know why I felt the need to say that. My top 5 is probably:

>A film board (separate from a tv board) would be great.

It's absurd that subjects like Mecha and My Little Pony and Ecchi get their own boards but film and TV just get lumped together. They are the two most popular forms of narrative media on the planet, for god's sake. Just because they are both shot with cameras and involve stories doesn't make them the same thing. I quite enjoy /tv/ with all its autism and paedophilia, but it's hopelessly inadequate as a place to chat about cinema.

I agree entirely. A film board would be slower and there would be more opportunity to discuss lesser known works. As is the board is inundated by Game of Thrones and Breaking bad threads, and actual film discussion is rare. Discussion of movies that haven't come out in the past 5 years are even rarer. It's a shame too because there's decades of movies that get passed up on because the general atmosphere of the board is more in favor or talking about the new or more well-known. That isn't to say that mainstream movies are bad by default, but putting TV and film together doesn't allow complete exploration of the larger medium.

Yeah, the /tv/ film discussions are always just on Anderson, Tarantino, Nolan and whatever is current. Not that those films are bad, but it would be great to delve deeper. The opportunity to talk extensively about more films would be nice. But /tv/ doesn't have the pace, atmosphere or (more often than not) contributers necessary for that. Even a promising thread just degrades into arguments instead of analysis.

>A lot of those lists are comprised of obvious classics. They lack any personality or any sense of authenticity and they are dishonest. It's not their fault really. They are young and likely book snobs so they probably try to look for some kind of film canon and they probably treat critics lists as though they are worth a damn. They also have the issue of the internet which should facilitate the discovery of lots of gems but instead funnels all the plebs to the same places and many people have to learn how to actually approach art in a more authentic manner thanks to this.

Never going to happen. There's no reason why the film board wouldn't be inundated with the same shit as /tv/ for a start.

I hate to say it but waiting for a film thread to pop up on /lit/, going to le truefilm on reddit or finding another forum entirely is the best offer.

Unless somebody wants to make /arts/ so we can talk about literature, philosophy, film, theatre etc together.

As I said above somewhere, a lot of the films listed are very literary and high in story matter which naturally shows an inclination to root for a similar sensibility to high-brow literature but I don't tend to agree with TV's idea that the lists lack honesty.

I agree that there is more to film than grand epics and would advocate contemplating them beyond just the stories they offer.

Honestly, when someone asks me for a favorite film list, I rate it on content. It's like when someone asks me for a favorite books list, I basically just list novels. It's a subconscious thing in both cases - I don't think about it while doing it.

As a film person, do you have any recommendations of great visual/auditory movies? I've seen a number of movies that I would give high praise praise for their visuals (Avatar, Spirited Away, The Secret of Kells), but I've never paid much attention to the auditory level of film.
