Hey you! Veeky Forumsizen! What’s your favorite movie?

May or may not be literature related, I’m just interested in movies that are loved by people who love books more.

I watched this last year and it really struck me as something that could become an all-time favorite, but I need more time with it, I think.

Alien is a movie I could watch a million times and still be impressed with it.

In the mood for love (wong kar wai general), And Blue velvet (but not David Lynch in general)

Stalker (1979)

woody allen match point

Ozu took cinema as far as it could go

Distant

Undercover brother (2002)

The Holy Mountain
Le Bonheur
Black Orpheus
Exterminating Angel
Les Enfants Terribles

...

2001

Tarkovsky was a misogynist and a rapist

Apparently these are the movies I love the most

>implying

>The Holy Mountain
based

This will probably be bad as /tv/'s favorite books

Fallen angels

>Terrence Malick

Which one? For me it's Ramiel

>The Holy Mountain
Top shelf.

Last Year at Marienbad
Killing of a Chinese Bookie
Five Easy Pieces
Wild Strawberries
F for Fake
Yojimbo
Repo Man
Caddyshack

Unironically but I also wrote my final year thesis on Heidegger's influence on Malick. What a waste of time that was.

>"A woman does not have her own inner world"

reckon the narcissistic fuck would get caught in the #metoo-campaign if it took place much much earlier

have you seen that state of /tv/ these days?

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

The characters are Shakespearean. The soundtrack is haunting. The cinematography is poetry. The movie is pure kino, through and through.

Other great films: Xiao Wu; Bridge on the River Kwai; Pale Flower


Killing of A Chinese Bookie; Repo Man; F for Fake. All good choices. What's your favorite book?

How can a former philosophy professor make such vague and surface level philosophical films?

great taste.
kind of a rollercoaster, but great overall, some of my favs in there.

one of my favorites is Birth of a Nation

Whats the one to the right of La Jetee?

I knew somebody would ask that. It's Teorema, the Pasolini movie.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teorema_(film)

Thanks

Pan's labyrinth or The Big Lebowski
The latter has been growing on me though, every time I see it it feels more and more meditative

A lot of people have been calling it an "18 hour film" so I'm gonna say Twin Peaks: the Return. It's easily the greatest thing I've ever seen.

I should actually watch that

Its between City of God and The Wraith

Don Quixote followed by Naked Lunch.

i watched the first 4 episodes and though I initially hated the more metaphysical direction, it sucked me in. But I do need to watch the rest of it.

Knocked me to the fucking floor.

Andrei Rublev definitely, every time I watch it I feel a little wiser. Watching it is like reading a spiritual text.

If you like City of God I highly recommend you watch Bus 174. It's about the same topic, but more hopeless due to its documentary realism. It's a documentary about a guy that goes nuts from living in the favela his entire life and hijacks a bus, threatening to kill all passengers.

You've convinced me, I'll watch this next. Watched the first two seasons last summer and loved them, have yet to see Fire Walk With Me. I saw that black and white screenshot of a hobo asking for a light or something which really intrigued me. Didn't expect to see it on so many Best of the year lists.

I need to watch more films desu, but unfortunately i don't have the attention span. I can sit through books for hours but i can't bear 20 mins of a film. The above list were the ones that caught my attention and i watched them in one sitting.

Enter the Void
Mulholland Drive
Synecdoche New York

>having several favourite movies

you pathetic pseuds are just doing it to bait (you)s

Thanks for the rec, will check out Bus 174. I actually like City of God more for its fictionalized elements and inspiration from western crime movies, but the setting is also great.

>Dude, Where's My Car?
The Goodburger movie is legitimately a better DWMC

Safe is has become one of my favorite films too, it's so heartbreaking and creepy

Zorba the Greek

Rec me some good Veeky Forums based on this.

...

>babby's first arthouse film
nah jakes, i love close-up

Rocky I
and I don't really have a close second either

Being philosophically literate does not guarantee being a good artist, which is something that is lost on every Malick fanboy who always chimes in with the cliched B-BUT MUH HEIDEGGER SCHOLAR response. How many people even know Walter Benjamin wrote fiction as well?

If you try too hard to make a philosophical film it becomes often cringe-worthy. I personally think Malick films are more akin to visual art than to books where the visuals convey the meaning rather than the story or dialogue.

the new twin peaks is mostly terrible
t. david lynch stan

What's it like being this autistic?

But muh Tarkovsky did it!

Blue Velvet is to Lynch's creations much like The Map and The Territory to Houellebecq's - the comfiest, most realist, most accessible, and often most liked piece, often accompanied by "but not this man's other work in general".

Great taste my dude
>hey boss!

Lynch is fantastic
Pretty much everything by Tarkovsky
Bergman obviously, watch The Seventh Seal at the very least
I'm a fan of Charlie Kaufman, his films are more easy to watch than your average art film and have a great sense of magical realism.
Also watch pic related if you liked Eraserhead

Do I have to watch the earlier twin peaks?

Persona
Breathless
Harakiri

That movie is amazing, one of my favourites as well.

Somebody tell me how the "white boy" got a job in "The Brotherhood"?

Goodfellas or five easy pieces. Only movies I can watch and rewatch.

Sure, but was it a waste of being?

but honestly what's the deal with people shitting on Tarkovsky just to be contrarian.
Never heard an honest critique of his films from these people.

inb4 "boring" as if that's a legitimate argument

LOL yes

Tampopo and Citizen Kane.

Sonatine or inland empire desu.

Gertrud

My favorite movie is probably Excalibur. Its the best King Arthur movie and I never get bored while watching it, and periodically I feel the need to go back and rewatch it. It has a ton of great moments, like these:

This has no bearing on the material, there is no need to mention it.

Big Trouble in Little China

Trying to watch three films per weekend this year, so hopefully I'll have another 156 films under my belt come 2019. My favorite director is probably Fellini.

Slacker
Stranger Than Paradise
Eraserhead
Persona
Ghost World
Big Lebowski
Broken Flowers
Masculin Feminin
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

So bizarre that DFW taught PTA

You sound like you're insufferable in person.

A lot of people don't like Harmony Korine, but I think Gummo is one of the greatest things in all of cinema.
