Now for real:

Robocop is great though

It's great for an action movie, so is something like Terminator. They aren't very Veeky Forums though.

Hard to be a god
Stalker
Andrei Rublev

Tree of Life

Twelve Monkeys

...

The Seventh Seal

Magnolia

Evangelion is basically Gravity's Rainbow the Anime...

Are you a robot that learns by reading Veeky Forums threads?

Pan's Labyrinth is Veeky Forums

>Paterson
was a big letdown for me

seventh seal

and i went into it thinking it would be pretentious. it was actually kinda fun to watch, had everything a good movie should have.

Repo Man

>Stalker
oh god i hope not

German expressionism. (Caligari, Nosferatu...)
M the monster of Dusseldorf
Rampo Noir
Delinquent girl
Sugisball
The third Man

I would say taxi driver. It was heavily influenced by notes from the underground.

dope movie

maybe if you wanna make it pynchon like. repoman is great, but its comical approach makes me think the pinecone all the way

it does have one of my favorite lines in any movie
>otto dont go, what about our relationship?
>what
>what about our relationship?
>fuck that

Duke: The lights are growing dim Otto. I know a life of crime has led me to this sorry fate, and yet, I blame society. Society made me what I am.
Otto: That's bullshit. You're a white suburban punk just like me.
Duke: Yeah, but it still hurts.

Andrei Rublev

god that movie is so shit

any idea how to see that vincent gallo movie he supposedly won't let anyone ever see that he made after brown bunny and got butt-hurt about someone saying it was shitty? no info on the internet

>god that movie is so shit
just like your opinion, man

El desencanto (1976)

Theater: Children of Paradise
Novel: L'avventura
Poetry: Color of Pomegranates

>Spring Breakers
gotta disagree, I feel this movie is ALL about the spectacle and sensory overload which would not translate at all into a novel. Barry Lyndon is an excellent choice.

Seventh Seal
Before Trilogy
Dumb and Dumber

and your taste above all my friend if you think 2 hours of unsubtlety through exaggerated expressions and close ups are anything worth any appreciation. Even Son of Saul did it better

so? but its Veeky Forums-kino nonetheless

Meh. I thought it was a terribly boring movie.

The Big Lebowski is unironically great. The more you watch it the more it reads as a meditation on modernity, absurdism, and what it means to "be a man"

Paris, Texas
or anything by Malick

Stranger than Paradise

These are pretty much the best

La Dolce Vita

Tarkovsky
Bergman
Bresson

Are the big three

more like Bresson, Antonioni and Ozu

Ok fine,

Takovsky
Bergman
Bresson
Antonioni
Ozu

are the big five

kys

>Antonioni

"Michelangelo Antonioni, thought Bergman, had never properly learnt his craft. He's an aesthete. If, for example, he needs a certain kind of road for The Red Desert, then he gets the houses repainted on the damned street. That is the attitude of an aesthete. He took great care over a single shot, but didn't understand that a film is a rhythmic stream of images, a living, moving process; for him, on the contrary, it was such a shot, then another shot, then yet another. So, sure, there are some brilliant bits in his films... [but] I can't understand why Antonioni is held in such high esteem."

Antonioni is a hack, he made one masterpiece then got suffocated by his own dullness

All his works are great.

you forgot Cassavetes

t. hasn't seen zabriskie point

sure thing Michelangelo.

>50+ posts
>no Lynch

plebs

>likes Antonioni once over the age of 16
>calls others plebs

the irony is not lost on me user

Days of Heaven
3 Women
Eyes Wide Shut

...

>thread getting deep
>they still haven't posted the Greeks
are you guys even trying?
is this the literature board, or is this /tv/???

also Paterson deserves the highest recognition

posting a self-portrait are we?

pleb

...

keep posting away champ, you're showing us who's the boss : )

seeing as this is a semi relevant thread, what are some books that deal with the concepts found in end of evangelion?

Hail to the Greeks

>Ozu

He's good but he really showed how autistic japanese were/unable to comprehend his work

better fitting japanese directors for the list would be mizoguchi, kobayashi, naruse, oshima, koreeda etc.

>antonioni
sounds like a made up name you make when you wanna insult the italian kid

summa theologica

you sure showed him

>actually thinking Lynch is comparable to any of the good directors mentioned in this thread
Thanks for reminding me of why I never go to /tv/

Antonioni's best move was paving the way for Todd Haynes's Safe.

Lynch got lucky with Eraserhead but other than that he is a one trick pony

and having the honor to die on the same date as Bergman

read up on gnosticism

...

Lynch is high brow according to /tv/. They only talk Star Wars and super hero movies.

What exactly is this one trick that applies to The Straight Story, The Elephant Man, Dune, and Inland Empire?

...

any fiction, i'm too brainlet for philosophical texts

I'm impressed that Korine wrote Kids when he was so young but I've never been able to watch that movie past like 30 minutes. It's fucking intolerably annoying.

+quentin tarantino
+coen brothers
+terry gilliam

Jackass the movie

in English, doc.

what about that movie annoys you? it's more or less exactly like my childhood minus the aids and beating gays parts

straight story is unironically a fantastic portrayal of old age

+leni reifenstahl

>dude surrealness lmao

It's more my fault than the film's. I just can't get into vapid teenager conversations and fumbling sex for 90 minutes

Gummo is more my speed. Not on quite such an extreme level, but I can relate to backwoods degeneracy more than that of a city.
