Brazil is my all time favorite. Such a joy to watch

I've recently gotten into Iranian films
A Separation
Majid Majidi films
Jafar Panahi films
Abbas Kiarostami films (although some of his films are painfully self-indulgent)
The Cow

They're interesting and a great insight into their culture

>>2459055
It must have not been the right day to watch Brazil or it's just not my thing.

12 Angry Men
Blade Runner
The Third Man
Bible Black

Thin Red Line
Paprika
In Bruges
Drive
Aguirre: The Wrath of God

>>2459057
I know quite a few people who didn't enjoy it.
I grew up watching Monty Python so that may have influenced my appreciation. Brazil's visuals blew my mind

Seven Samurai
Dr Strangelove
Casablanca
Das Leben der Anderen

Taxi Driver (I aspire to be like Travis Bickle)
Apocalypse Now
The Deer Hunter

The Prophete (Un Prophete)

>(I aspire to be like Travis Bickle)
wut

Recommend any good porn theaters?

>>2459123
Oh no I did sought of enjoy it but maybe my friend hyped it too much. It just wasn't mind blowing.

>>2459120
What's wrong with Minority Report? I havn't seen it in around three years but I'm sure it's still as good as I thought it was..maybe not.

>>2459127

Oh, you know, just the usual shitty hollywood drivel.

>>2459124
>Seven Samurai
>Dr Strangelove
>Casablanca
Real controversial choices there...
You little rebel.

>>2459130
Oh ok. Maybe I put some bad movies that I used to think are good.

What hollywood film would you say isn't drivel?

>>2459131
I was going to find out some pretentious indie bullshit, but decided fuck it, i'll just put my favourite films down. U mad?

>>2459138
That guy didn't sound very mad but judging by your writing you actually seem pretty mad. Wish I could give you one of my mushroom capsules bro.

>>2459134

Recently? I thought "The Tree Of Life" was pretty good...can't remember who directed that though.

A few more good flicks I just remembered:
No Country For Old men (& most of the Coen Bro's shit)
Blue Velvet

Good UK independent Titles:
Kill Switch
Tyrannosaur
Dead Man's Shoes
Kill List

minority report could have been halfway decent if they had changed or left out a few scenes. the jet pack scene was full retard.

my favorites:
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Heat
The Royal Tenenbaums
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Total Recall

>>2459145
Yeah I liked The Tree of Life too. Luckily I didn't realize the hype/expectations etc it had, I was just hoping for another 2001: a space odyssey film.

What did you like about Blue Velvet? I did read the hype/praise before hand and thought it was pretty mediocre.

I think this is a uk independent film:
Submarine, really nice visuals.

>>2459150
jesus the submarine was try-hard garbage

>>2459150
> What did you like about Blue Velvet?

Dennis Hopper and his 'canister'.

David Lynch is a fucking Don.

>>2459152
That's why i focused on saying the visuals were good. I kind of blurred out the plot etc just because it was shot really beautifully. I do that with films a lot. Like have you seen a film called Fly Away Home? I just watch it for the visuals, very relaxing.

bump

favorite films: Stalker, Rodrigo D. No Futuro, AntiChrist, Sans Soleil, La Jetee, Winter Light, Enter The Void, Taxidermia, Return of the Living Dead, Made in England, The Strangers

/lit/ confirmed for having better taste than /tv/
I mean, a small of those guys have ridiculous taste that's better than most of this thread
but the majority just froth over babies first ________

>>2459627
Add some of your favorites, if you like.

hey here is something i just found it has all these movies to watch online..i haven't seen if all the links work but all of tarkovsky's films are there
http://www.openculture.com/freemoviesonline

Famous carousing choreographer makes a movie about a famous carousing choreographer who is about to die, then dies.

OP confirmed for pleb

>this thread

>>2459650
You should see the arthouse-threads over at /tv

>mfw no Drive

>>2459652
We all start somewhere. You most likely liked pokemon and the matrix etc etc when you were younger. I havn't watched too many movies in a couple years and I'm trying to change that, which is why I asked you guys because I figured you had some awesome movies that not everyone knows about.

I'm fine with being a pleb, it's not possible to not be a pleb to certain people. Help me with my goal of watching some really enjoyable films? not caring at all if all the cool, hip kids watch it.

>>2459658
It's not even entry level arthouse, it's just a straight forward action flick with some slow paced scenes here and there.

Oldboy
Pulp Fiction
Lèon
Rubber
Ben X - Seriously! Watch that movie!
Inglourious Basterds
Machete

Actually almost anything by Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez.

>>2459662

Leon The Professional, City of Life and Death, The Social Network.


There are some suggestions. Watch them if you want.

>>2459641
>Dat last sequence
Almost like a fever dream

>>2459674
The social network isn't pleb? what. I really did not see the hype, it wasn't anything special, I thought.

>>2459675
Yup, and then ZIP! and ethel merman singing "there's no business..."
I'm not a fan of dance or "Jazz hands", but I worked in theater (backstage) for a long time and All That Jazz showed theater life better than most movies that have done so.

Also, Fosse was great as the snake in "The Little Prince" movie.

>>2459682

>The social network isn't pleb?


The Social Network is arguably the best movie of the last 10 years and with out a doubt the best of 2010(Even thought the Kings Speech won the oscar)


Plebs are the ones who dont like it because "omg its just talking!"

>>2459689

Never got round to watching it. Downloading it now.

If it's shit i'll be back later to mock you.

The Lord of the Rings
End of Evangelion
Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis
A Tree of Palme
Stand by Me
One Piece: Baron Omatsuri
Gladiator
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

yeah

>>2459689
Plebs like it because it's straight forward, easy to understand, and has "omg so witty dialoge XD", and gives them a opportunity to call other pelebs stupid, as it lacks explosions.

>>2459703

whatever pleb

>>2459689
Are you trolling or is this what /tv/ actually thinks?

Arguably the best film in 10 years. A kid could say Dragon Ball is arguably the best film in 10 years, that doesn't mean much.

Watching it, I felt like it could just be so much better,

>>2459703
I also want to add that I thought Black Swan was the better movie, as we're talking about 2010

>>2459689
seemed like an average movie with decent music and a couple good performances if you ask me

Children of Men
The Empire Strikes Back
Evil Dead II
There Will Be Blood
Brazil
Le Samouraï
Harakiri
Les 400 Coups
The Tree of Life
Taxi Driver
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Suspiria
The Fifth Element
Robocop
Psycho
Big Trouble in Little China
The Big Lebowski
Dazed and Confused
The Thing
The Princess Bride
Double Indemnity

> arguing over subjective opinions
> 2012

inb4 durrr movies are objective.

p.s.

fuck you all.

>>2459715

The fuck are you? high? Black Swan was mediocre at best.

>>2459727
And TSC is the best movie of the last 10 years, right?

>>2459666
>Ben X
>As an alternative to getting bullied at school, an autistic teenager retreats into the world of online role-playing games.
Sounds like an autobiography of /r9k/.

>>2459724
Stay bro. We all know it's objective and when people act like it isn't it's obvious troll.

Reminds me of a friend I have that is doing directing courses. He objectively thinks the social network and vanilla sky are the best movies every made. I've seen both, they kinda sucked IMO.

>>2459738
>Vanilla Sky

You should point him towards Abre los Ojos asap

>>2459742
mah nigga

this has somewhat restored my faith in this thread

I only really have about 5 films I'd call my favourites.

>Children of Men
>Into the Wild
>Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring
>Black Dynamite
>Fucking Åmål

Haters gon' hate, IDGAF.

Great site for art house/obscure foreign films

inb4 hipster

>>2459733


It is whether you liked it or not. Sorkin is a better writer than the team of nobodies that wrote Black Swan and Fincher is a better director than Aronofsky.

>>2459751
Just go to bed, Timmy..

Annie Hall
A Clockwork Orange
Cry-Baby
Donnie Darko
28 Days Later
Cecil B Demented
The Big Lebowski
Hard Candy
Mouth to Mouth
Boondock Saints

>Into the Wild
Some tard committing suicide!=good film.

>>2459742
He's kind of a real big douche. I tried to tell him that the plot for Limitless is dumb as fuck. He would not even research the fact that humans use all of their brain, he was all NO WE ONLY USE 10 PERCENT!

I don't think he will watch anything I recommend now because every movie he has recommended me I have thought is terrible, Limitless included.

The documentary "if a Tree Falls" about the Earth Liberation Front. It's on Netflix now.

>>2459788
ANY film, can be made to sound shit if you do things like that.

>>2459789
I'm going to do filmschool next year and I'm really scared about the amount of arrogant douchebags with shit taste (Vanilla Sky and Limitless.... Jesus fuck) I'll encounter.

>>2459800
Just don't let going to film-school make you feel like you have to prove yourself. Like I can see that my friend thinks of himself as higher than other people because he thinks he knows more about films and he has to prove that by trying to use fancy words and watching obscure things, every facebook status is about his analysis of films.

I was really surprised seeing Vanilla Sky after he hyped the shit out of it, it is really pretty shit and Limitless as I said before is really retarded.

Good-luck bro. I always think I don't have enough time to be all hip and trying to be super edgy and cool with films or books, I could crash my car and die tomorrow, fuck wasting my time on shit lik ethat
