>posting le samurai man movie and insinuating that its reached the heights of literature
Your taste is garbage, go back to the imdb top 250 page faggot

They Shoot Horses Don't They? is the greatest film of all time.
Mutts won again.

Not even close

I like Harold and Maude

>>17919118
based and Maude-pilled

my top:
1.The Green Elephant aka Green Elephant Calf or the little green elephant(best translation imho)
2.Kin-dza-dza! (1986 Soviet sci-fi dystopian tragicomedy)
knowledge of Russian language and culture is required to understand the above movies
3.The Con Artists (Bluff - Storia di truffe e di imbroglioni) outstanding Italian criminal comedy
4.The Shawshank Redemption (movie is ok, but i love the character of Andy Dufresne)
5.Six String Samurai
6.Back to the Future trilogy
7.Jumanji
8.Fight club
9.Shaolin Soccer
10.SCARFACE

Here are the only three movies worth watching:
>Entretien avec Mallarmé (dir. Eric Rohmer)
>In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni (dir. Guy Debord)
>Cinema I & II (Gilles Deleuze - just imagine that it's a film)
The rest is pure cope from and for people who don't know how to think.

Yeah, perhaps his most touching work and on a very similar wavelength to Honkytonk Man. If you like it, I'd also highly recommend Knightriders from George A Romero. Something must've been in the air around 1980/81, as they're of a piece with each other and are two of the most beautiful evocations of America ever put to film.

>>17920897
>Knightriders
Looks interesting

people ITT are so dismissive of film as an art while offering no arguments it makes me think they have some sunk cost insecurity regarding their commitment to literature as a distinguishing aspect of their identity.
There's some interesting theory and criticism of both forms and fiction in general as art throughout their history but comparatively ranking them seems like a fool's errand.

>>17919078
Desu, I watch films to have a good time. So I'm not really into arthouse. I see them as propaganda pieces that exist to dive home the director's beliefs, and since they're not a book, the limited time doesn't allow them to do anything. I've watched Bela Tarr, I've watched old B&W flicks, modern B&W arthouse, whatever. Unless it's something truly original with great camerawork, I find it a waste of time. Platitudes spouted by caricatures, with the camera remaining static or moving like a spastic because
>muh art
When I watch a film, I want either some good visuals and an engossing experience, or just a good and interesting story. No film can touch /lit/ because it's an entirely different artform. When it tries to be /lit/ you end up with
>[insert philosophy/political view] Best Hits: The Compilation (Vols. 1-5)
It just doesn't work like that.

So, for me, a film must be "eye-catching". It needs to have atmosphere, something that Michael Mann excels at, with his moody , melancholic films. It can be just a visual teat, like Malick's works (when he's not off his rocker) and just induce pure emotion in you, through the mixture of video and sound. It can be a drama with good dialogue and chemistry between the actors, like something such as Michael Clayton, Leigh's Naked or Fincher's stuff. The Coens always have a mood in their films that hits my buttons. And I can just enjoy a comfy flick like Cruel Intentions because it's fun. Or a good blockbuster like Interstellar. My taste is all over the place, and I'll ty any kind of film, as long as it does "something" instead of being some hack's personal hamfisted beliefs. I didn't much care for Tarkovsky's Mirror, but the visual treat, the dreaming nature of it, was interesting and engrossing.

At the end of the day, I count Stone's Alexander amongst my favourites, simply because it felt like an Ancient Epic. It's not perfect, it's not exactly accurate, but it has that epic scope I'm looking for and it touched me. I love The Great Beauty too, but for different reasons. That is for its story, directing, cinematography and script. I can watch Collateral or The Social Network on and on, due to how well they capture the mood they set out to create. Polanski's Carnage and Venus In Fur are pretty much stage plays but they pull it off.

TL;DR I look for films that entertain me, just in different ways.

>Also, has film ever reached the heights of literature?
Yes. Watch “The Tree of Life”, “Synecdoche, New York” and “End of Evangelion”.

Watching the movies of Charlie Kaufman recently and I suspected he was very well read, which was subsequently confirmed in a book about him which I read. I assume every filmmaker with several movies under their belt becomes associated with a "style" or niche, and I believe Charlie's is self-referentiality, solipsism and the human psyche as an extension of the external physical world. Being John Malkovich is very clever and certain aspects of it are developed further in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (e.g., the chase through Malkovich's subconscious), but the latter movie also develops Kaufman's loyalty to real emotional experiences and a kind of sincerity when approaching this issue (rather than doing so as simply a gag or philosophical puzzle). Eternal Sunshine is fantastic as a movie, as it deals with themes that you could potentially find in a more mundane, realistic movie but does so in a bizarre, surreal but ultimately quite grounded and relatable manner.

His most recent movie, I'm Thinking of Ending Things, is another great movie this time about regret, introversion, media consumption, memory, and the ethical and psychological nature of fantasy (particularly romantic fantasy). I love this movie for similar reasons as to why I appreciate the later works of DFW, namely because it is both very adventurous and creatively intelligent but also relatable, and even more because like DFW's 'The Pale King', Kaufman also pretty much dares the viewer to feel bored while watching the movie, which is about the boring life of an elderly man who wishes he could have done things differently but perhaps couldn't have. It's a slow-moving and understated movie which invites the audience to ascribe their own meaning to its symbols and surreal elements.

Back to your hole

I go through periods during which I watch films obsessively, but then I spend many months without seeing anything. Last film I saw was in November of 2020, but before that I’d been watching films every day for maybe two months. I don’t have a favorite director, but I guess Tarkovsky and Lee-chang dong are among the ones whose work I enjoy the most

Do yourselves a favour and watch at least the following:
- Sayat Nova
- Shadows of Our Forgotten Ancestors
- Nostos
- The Exterminating Angel
- Any of Tarkovsky's and most of Bergman's films

By the way, cinema is a very diverse art. Sometimes it is more sensible to compare it to painting than to literature, such as in the case of Nostos.

>>17919330
Great list.

>>17919819
I watched Sayat Nova ten years ago and still remember so much from it... The same goes for Tarkovsky, Bresson, Tarr, Bergman, and others.
Meanwhile, I remember next to nothing from Touch of Evil, Mr. Arkadin, The Magnificent Ambersons... Even in the case of Citizen Kane, I had to watch it thrice.
How much do you honestly remember from a Welles movie that you watched only once, ten years ago? I can't imagine it staying for long in someone's head.

F for Fake is the only Welles movie that stayed with me.

>>17922504
this is making me a bit sick

>>17922504
I watched Sayat Nova last hear and wanted to slit my throat 30 minutes in, BOOORING!

>>17922530
i can't lie that's never been the criteria i rate things by. i didn't watch any 10 years ago (when i was 12). as it happens i think a welles film has to be watched with close attention or half the beauty of it gets missed.

>>17921971
disgusting

>>17922534
Why?
Seriously: what do you look for in cinema?
If you don't look for things that are going to enrich your visual perception of the world and stay in your mind for years, perhaps for your whole life, if you're looking for mere entertainment... Why not watch pornography instead?

>>17922560
Do you also feel the same way when listening to Wagner?
Perhaps it's a psychological issue. Some people seem to have faster "internal rhythm" than others. However, those people shouldn't be on a literature board.
Still, you might find directors such as Kurosawa and John Ford very interesting.

>>17922575
Why? Most writers you admire probably felt an appreciation for those directors.
Krasznahorkai himself often worked with Tarr, for instance, Lobo Antunes was influenced by Fellini, and so on.

>>17922695

On the Silver Globe by Andrzej Żuławski
>Jerzy Żuławski wrote the novel on which the film is based, On the Silver Globe, around 1900 as part of The Lunar Trilogy. Żuławski was the granduncle of Andrzej Żuławski. Andrzej Żuławski left his native Poland for France in 1972 to avoid Polish government censorship. After Żuławski's critical success with the 1975 film L'important c'est d'aimer, the Polish authorities in charge of cultural affairs reevaluated their assessment of him. They invited him to return to Poland and produce a project of his own choice. Żuławski, who had always wanted to make a film of his grand uncle's novel, saw the offer as a unique opportunity to achieve this aim.
>Between 1975 and 1977, Żuławski adapted the novel into a screenplay. He shot the film at various locations, including the Baltic seashore at Lisi Jar near Rozewie, Lower Silesia, the Wieliczka Salt Mine, the Tatra Mountains, the Caucasus mountains in Georgia, the Crimea in USSR, and the Gobi Desert in Mongolia.[1] In the fall of 1977, the project came to a sudden halt when Janusz Wilhelmi was appointed vice-minister of cultural affairs. He interpreted the film's battle between the Selenites and the Szerns as a thinly veiled allegory of the Polish people's struggle with totalitarianism. Wilhelmi shut down the film project, which was eighty percent complete, and ordered all materials destroyed.
>Żuławski went back to France, saying that he was in despair over the loss and waste of so much artistic effort.[This quote needs a citation] The reels of the unfinished film were ultimately not destroyed, but preserved, along with costumes and props, by the film studio and by members of the cast and crew. Although Wilhelmi died a few months later in a plane crash, the film was only released after the end of communist rule. In May 1988, a version of the film, consisting of the preserved footage plus a commentary to fill in the narrative gaps, premiered at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival.[2]

Bitter Lake by Adam Curtis is a gorgeous documentary that covers the various forces which tore Afghanistan apart in the 20th and 21st centuries, and more than that, how Western attempts to create a better life in that country went so wrong. Highly recommended.

Ran may not be the best Kurosawa film, but its my favorite.

Go ahead, try to name a more colorful film than Ran.

>>17924895

>>17924902
It isn't my personal favorite (that would be High and Low), but I definitely respect that choice more than the endless sea of Yojimbo and Seven Samurai fans. Red Beard fans are the most virile men on earth though. Also I think Sonatine or Hana-bi might be more colorful but I'm not certain.

Film is a more relevant art form at the moment than literature, and it’s not even close. But it will still never reach the heights that literature has

>>17924044
Too bad most of the film isn't anywhere near as good as these few scenes.

>>17924902
>Ran may not be the best Kurosawa film
I disagree; Ran is his ultimate masterpiece.

>>17925325
High and Low? Kagemusha? C'mon now.

>>17924902
>>17924911
When asked by news junket men that same old dumb question “which of your films do you like best?” Kurosawa would brush it off with the same answer, “the next one!”
This all changed after he made Ran. The answer was always “Ran”. That was his best.

I’m partial to Ikiru, but Ran is right beside it for me.
High and Low is a like a great Hitchcock film

>>17925325
>I disagree; Ran is his ultimate masterpiece.

It's a great film cementing the fact Kurosawa was a master, but I think High and Low, Red Beard or Dersu Uzala are more qualified as masterpieces. Most directors have one masterpiece in them, Kurosawa has at least 5

>>17919078
My favorite movies at the moment are:
Paris, Texas
It's a Wonderful Life
The Lady from Shanghai
Meet John Doe
On the Waterfront
In my opinion they're all as good as the heights of literature (especially the Frank Capra movies) except for The Lady from Shanghai (but if you look at film noir as a totality it then approaches the heights of literature).

>>17925365
Semantically speaking, there can be only one “masterpiece”. They’re great films. Madadayo being perhaps his weakest, was still a very good film.

Well Kurosawa made some great movies though not especially interesting movies. He's kind of like the Japanese Stanley Kubrick.

The first half of Sunshine. I was brought to actual tears by the sheer emotion of the characters, the push and pull of obsession, love and desperation between the people and the sun.

Then, because it's an American film, they added a fucking serial killer, and ruined the entire movie. I was seriously considering terrorist acts.

>>17926522

For me, GATTACA. I know it could be a bit schlocky but being the brown-haired eldest with terrible childhood asthma and having a blond-haired younger brother who was perfectly healthy and taller than me it resonated very strongly.

I think that film has surpassed literature in one big aspect that most apes whine about, accessibility. Any monkey can sit down and watch No Country for Old Men and get a general idea about what McCarthy was writing about but not all of them have the patience to sit through his prose. If anything it'll hopefully filter most of the apes and keep them arm's length from the nearest piece of literature.

Your favorite filmmakers are a collection of those that appear in "how to get into entry/mid-level arthouse film"? Having Tarkovsky, Bergman, Fellini, Tarr, Godard, Bresson, etc. as your favorite directors is akin to having Dosto, Tolstoy, Melville, McCarthy and Pynchon as your favorite writers and then trying to put people onto "diverse" literature like you're holding the keys to some avant-garde Shangri-la.

There's no stylistic or thematic overlap among your favorites, hardly any idiosyncratic choice. More or less legend after legend. Unironically watch way more films.

>>17928091
Butthurt much? I bet you don’t even know the difference between photography and cinematography. Enjoy your overhyped circus attraction.

>I see them as propaganda pieces that exist to dive home the director's beliefs
how does an arthouse film hold more propaganda than say... a steven spielberg film? the former comes from an individual and the latter is a mass media project with multiple talents and producers behind it, backed by jewlywood itself. your proposition doesn't hold any water if you think about it for more than a minute.

t. every bitter white old hag that hates this movie

Has anyone here seen Jonas Mekas' films? He made intensely personal home movies with beautiful cinematography depicting various moments in his life. Watching his films has unironically made me look at life more appreciatively and see beauty in everyday things. Also it feels good to see one of my countrymen make a contribution to art and culture; we're a small nation so we don't have many famous artists.
If anyone wants to watch him I'd suggest starting with Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania. It's his shortest and most accessible work.

Filtered. Watch it again and pay attention this time. If you still don’t get it, it’s beyond you.

this thread has been better than most /film/ threads on /tv/. Not a torrent of actual discourse here but there's absolutely none over there, just a schizo shit flinging preschool

5/10. Stalker and Taxi Driver.... really anon?

At least you picked the good Kubrick but no Altman?

He's great but unfortunately many people never get exposed to the avant-garde box he's caged in even though they love many filmmakers he influenced.

ah what a classic

All of Twin Peaks has reached the heights of literature.

my favs change, so this list is subject to change, but DTRT and ITMFL are usually up in the top ten consistently.
