Rip in peace, watch 10/10 older movies like the dead poet society and good will hunting. Or get a life. Either works.
>>767350735
Op here. Yes, I've seen all of those movies.
>>767350738
I've seen those.
>>767350848
Demonstrate some proof thereof.
That's what I thought.

Also, a bit of trivia. Blazing Saddles was in Reign Over Me.

Yeah. And you missed out on life. That is why you got the feels.
Go get some exercise. Talk to people. And don't let your self-worth depend upon flickering screens. If you have a sense of loss, if life seems empty after running out of movies to watch, then you fucked up and finding more movies to watch is not the way to go.

Still haven't demonstrated even passing knowledge of the indisputably GREAT films I listed above.
>>767351777
Trips confirms. I haven't.
>>767351777
Traffic was way overrated. You list seems like it was pulled off of a "top movies loved by hipsters" list on Ranker
>>767352021
These are all movies I own, have watched multiple times, and love.
Traffic was a great, gritty drama. Some aspects of it were a little preachy, but it still gave me a good shot in the gut.
>>767351938
So OP is a fraud.
>>767352175
Is it not true that masters ask questions and servants answer them? Why haven't you provided an image of these movies you supposedly own with a timestamp?
>>767350536
>>767352374
Fuck you for making me take a bloody picture.
>>767352930
Where's the timestamp?
I haven't made you do anything. All I've done is establish that I'm an authority to whom you answer.
>>767353006
All you've established is that you're a pleb-tier faggot who is sad that the only movies he's seen are from the Marvel universe.
Hey, if that's your bag, whatever. But don't act like you know shit about good movies.

Have you seen the great silent films? Those by D.W. Griffith and King Vidor and F.W Murnau?
Have you seen Harold Lloyd in "Safety Last"?
I began watching silent films a few years ago and was very impressed. Movies like "The Crowd", "The Thief of Baghdad", "Greed", "The General", etc really amazed me.
>>767350735
This is a reddit list.
>>767353158
What separates great films from "reddit" films. Would love to hear an articulation of this. I've acquired these films over 8-10 years without any influence from reddit.
>>767350536
Straw Dogs
The Filth and the Fury
The Sweet Smell of Success
Sherlock Jr.
La Jetée
>>767353119
Name some great films in your opinion. Really.
>>767353213
I'm not him but they're all very accessible films
Which doesn't couple with your condescending tone very well
If you want a genuine reply, you should explore actors, directors, and writers you figured out you like from watching all the good movies
>>767353213
Not anon, but I can answer.
It's the same movies every fucking 17 year old "indie kid" watches and then circle jerks with their "indie" friends discussing them while they feel an undeserved sense of superiority.
It's the same people who flock to Reddit.
These films are relatively good, but they are entry level hipster trash compared to real cinema.

"Nadia, I am a band geek. I just never joined the band." - anon with a mainstream movie collection
>>767353360
>accessible films
As if that's a criticism. I love Jack Nicholson, John Houston, and Woody Allen. Each of the films in my list is a solid film in its own right with no qualifiers.
>>767353293
A bright guy like you should be able to find my list on this thread, champ. ;)
>>767353496
This
have you seen Melancholia?
>>767353213
For me
Fargo was okay, but I was pissed to discover it was not really a true story, NCFOM was actually better than the book in my opinion, Psycho is excellent - but I liked Hitchcock's Rear Window, Vertigo and The Lady Vanishes better. Nosferatu is brilliant, Chinatown still gives me chills (like Eyes Wide Shut), Maltese Falcon is marvelous, though I prefer The Big Sleep. Easy Rider is not my cup of tea, Goodfellas is a masterpiece - with incredible re-watch value, La Dolce Vita is my favorite Fellini along with La Strada, Sunset Blvd is decent, but I do not like William Holden. The Asphalt Jungle was very atmospheric, Blazing Saddles is rather childish and stupid, Manhattan - ehh. Annie Hall and Broadway Danny Rose did more for me, but I don't like Woody Allen - he's a pseud.
Haven't seen Traffic or Five Easy Pieces.
>>767353496
I've watched non-Hollywood films, and liked them, but they're hard to find on DVD. And frankly, the films I enjoyed that aren't mainstream aren't as well-written as the masterpieces I listed. They either have a great script OR great acting OR great visuals. Never all three.
Chinatown, for example, has all three.
No Country for Old Men has all three.
Easy Rider has all three.
La Dolce Vita has all three.
I mean, I can't even believe I sparked an argument here. I feel like each of the movies I listed are genuine masterpieces.
Have you seen one flew over the cuckoo's nest? Maybe OP will fit right in
>>767353285
I have La Jetée but haven't seen it yet. Should get around to it.
>>767353648
With the exception of Easy Rider, Blazing Saddles, Manhattan, and the films you haven't seen, you approve of every film on my list. I think that tells you that they're high-quality movies.
>>767353660
You weren't a fan of There Will Be Blood?
>>767353769
Of course. 1970s Jack Nicholson is my favourite actor.
City of God
>>767350536
The rover.
>>767353528
kek
>>767353804
I liked it, and it was well-acted with a great script. But it had a strange comedic tone to it that I didn't quite appreciate. It kind of reminded me of Giant, but with a little too much self-awareness.
Don't get me wrong, I still loved it. But No Country for Old Men is the superior film from that year.
>>767353840
A great film as well. I have/had it on DVD but it got badly scratched.
>>767353798
They are. Few will deny that they are all great/influential films.
>>767350735
No Blade runner, no Apocalypse Now, and no Lawrence of Arabia, what a shit list.
>>767353660
You're a hack. Your understanding of the art is clearly limited to the 11 minute synopsis videos on YouTube every other hack watches. Not a single film on your list hasn't been praised highly by every kid named Spencer while waiting for AP Biology to begin.
I'm sure this elementary dribble works well with the alt-sluts at your school, but do yourself a favor- don't play cinema expert to anyone who actually appreciates the craft. You'll come off as a seasoned jackass.
>>767353804
Literally this.
The kid's retarded.
>>767350536
You will be in a better mood than you were mood after finishing this.
>>767353774
I would recommend a viewing late at night, lights off, alone.
>>767353970
I'm called Spencer, and I agree with this.
>>767353660
My friend literally torrented most of the titles in "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die". There were 6 or 7 too obscure to find. We watched them all over a period of about 3 years. Good times.
>grapes of wrath
Anyone watched the film? Good adaptation of the book?
>>767353545
It isn't your list. It's a collection of movies that you like.
It isn't like those movies become great merely because you liked them.
>>767353943
Haven't seen Blade Runner or Lawrence of Arabia, but Apocalypse Now is a great movie too. I leant it to a friend seven years ago and never got it back.
>>767353970
You're obviously still in the phase where you think anything Hollywood-produced must be shit.
I've gone through the European indie-film phase, enjoyed it, learned from it. And if you want me to throw some of those films into my list, I can. But "Oh, Boy", "Fucking Amal," and "Festen" have pros and cons too. They aren't absolute masterpieces either.
>>767353899
I can respect that, I felt like it couldn't have portrayed someone's compete deterioration any better, but No Country For Old Men better..... I can't chose between the two, they're both favorites
>>767353993
Haha I appreciate the backup, anon
>>767353943
Ah yes - Lawrence of Arabia. One of my favorites. So many kino moments. The blowing out of the match cut to the sun rising over the desert, the walking over the train, the massacre of the wounded Turks
>NO PRISONERS!!! NO PRISONERS!!!!
Ah. Peter O'Toole deserved the Oscar that year - but lost to Gregory Peck in To Kill a Mockingbird.
>>767354178
If you liked Apocalypse now, have you seen Hearts of Darkness, the making of?, it's fucking brilliant.
>>767354121
You're right. I love them because they're great. And they do belong to me, as well as the rest of the world. I put 2+ titles together and BAM. I have my list.
How dense are you?
Dale and Tucker Vs Evil. Your welcome
>>767354053
It hasn't aged well - I don't know, I would want to see a modern adaptation, but it would have to be a dark neo-noir Western kind of movie, like Unforgiven or The Assassination of Jessie James but just in visual style and tone
>>767350536
You have not watched 'Les Fantômes du chapelier', did you?
Or what about the German classic 'Das Boot'?
Other god tier movies:
>Braindead
>Army of Darkness
>The Voices
How about The Exorcist?
Honestly one of the best-written horror films I've ever seen. Even without the shock-value, it was a great film.
>>767354053
Naturally skips a lot (especially the smut and swearing) but it is still an incredibly moving and masterfully-acted film.

Past it, nigger.
Grease is in my top three simply because it makes me feel good and I genuinely enjoy buying a ticket to a lowbrow movie regularly. I'm just not such a jackass that I parade myself around as a film guru when my masterpiece list consists enitrely of films my 16 year old brother has on Blu-Ray.
>>767354530

>>767354605
And Batman and fucking robin, you gotta be taking the piss....
>>767354530
I have this question about The Shawshank Redemption - how can a movie be so well done? The acting, cinematography, story, score... how is it without any flaws?
>>767350735
traffic is OK
get laid, grow some facial hair, get callouses on your hands...in time, after your balls drop, you will cringe at yourself for putting it on this list
>>767354648
Didn't you feel the tidal waves of pathos viewing the ingenious cinematic milestone that was the close-up of the Bat-credit card?
>>767354648
You need too "chill" out ;)
my favorite movie is spiderman one directed by Sam Raimi starring Toby Macguire. I know a lot of people prefer the Zach Efron version, but i really think Toby nailed the webs, it looked more realistic and had lots of cool punching and fights
>>767354832
Zack efron was never in spiderman
>>767354832
What about Thor with Cole Sprouse?
>>767350536

I thought the depiction of life in prison to be a little too whimsical nostalgic.
>>767354648
What? It's a great movie. With all the talent stacked in the casting, how could you not like it?
>>767354950
>implying that's a difficult task worthy of praise
Can he also walk and use a fork?

Why should I "chill" out not chill out?
Also, no one uses smiley faces here....your reddit is showing.
>>767354798
Nope, it was a shit film. Shittly acted, the script was shit as were the actors. And in case you were wondering , no I'm not Mark Kermode........
>>767354974
I suppose in a way, you don't think him being continually raped for a number of years to be the one thing making it a little more realistic?

Who missed this cinematic gem?
>>767354682
It is nothing compared to earlier prison films such as "I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang" and the French film "A Man Escaped".
For specific faults I would say the plot is too contrived, cliche character types (the evil warden who is a hypocrite Christian, the inhuman brute guard, the worldy-wise older prisoner, the young kid who went down the wrong path, etc.
>>767355076
They could have really capitalized on the 3D fad of the 90's. Nothing but cocks thrusting towards the audience. It may have been the edge it needed to beat Gump that year.

Batman forever is worse
>>767355337
Most Pre Bale Batman films are fucking dire, I didn't mean to single out Batman and Robin, it was just the one being talked about. Withnail and I is great
>>767355181
I think the character types were great - hypocrisy and Christians go hand-in-hand back then just as much as they did today, for that one instance of him beating the guy to death he was actually capable of being reasonable, I don't think the world-wise prisoner is so much a cliche as it is a status you attain, I know there has to be more than a few guys like that in prisons and the kid wasn't completely bad, he was just a rebel-rouser and petty criminal that I felt like was a personification of that freewheeling rock n' roll culture of the late-50's and into the 60's

Batman Returns was really good
>>767355396
The only reason i say forever is worse is because it ruined what would have been a good trilogy of films, also jim carrey, timmy lee jones,chris o donnel, and kilmer a some of the worst people too ever appear in a comic book movie. Batman and robin isnt "worse" because there was nothjng left too ruin. Both films are garbage but forever tanked a franchise

>>767355530
Hypocrisy and Christians go hand in hand (very clumsily phrased but never mind...) because Christianity gives high moral standards, and when people preach these and don't live according to them, they can be called hypocrites; obviously, contemporary degenerates are also hypocrites, although not in that sense

>>767355780
Sorry to delve into theology here, but Christianity does not really give high moral standards. Jesus spoke his "impossible" sermons to the hypocrite Jews of the day, who were ignoring most of Moses' laws while boasting about keeping others. They do not apply to Christians, who are saved by faith, not works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Unfortunately, most Christians do not know this, and foolishly try to follow commandments not meant for them. Apostles like Paul recommended Christians act well and behave - but that was more for the sake of peace and propriety. All that is needed for Christianity is faith in Christ. That is all. The thief crucified next to Jesus simply said "remember me" and that was enough for Christ to promise him paradise.

You haven’t seen the directors cut of One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest? Christopher Lloyd and Danny Devito follow Chief to an abandoned warehouse, and they hatch a scheme to kill nurse ratchet. It goes awry, only Lloyd gets out alive and he creates a time machine to save Billy and McNulty. It’s called cuckoo 2: electric timeskew
>>767356227
This guy dropping knowledge on you heathens.
Good job, bro
>>767356227
Your theology is protestant, and contrary to what was believed for centuries in the Church, and still is in the One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. The only thing you've shown is that not all branches of Christianity demand high moral standards, but we already knew that. In addition, salvation by faith does not mean works are superfluous, or even wicked, as Luther sometimes said; indeed, without works, faith is dead
>>767356331
No, this guy is just a pretty radical protestant; obviously enough, Jesus never said the commandments were impossible
>>767356472
Well, no; protestant theology at its most radical and exclusively faith-based; one does not have to be a heathen to contest such a view, indeed the largest Christian denomination in the world does
