4. Caravaggio
5. The Holy Mountain
6. Aguirre, the Wrath of God
7. Nosferatu (Herzog's remake)
8. Seventh Seal
9. Brazil
10. M

No.14
>>13to clarify with Ghost World it's essentially a guilty pleasure and something which I connect with a lot with the characters.
So it means a lot to me personally despite not being a technically great film.
No.16
>>13shit forgot The Devils, so I suppose that should be at 8 and all of them shifted up
No.32

Anyway:

2. Landscape in the Mist (1988, Angelopoulos)

>>32Agreed, although I am still yet to see a large number of those, Black Narcissus was fucking excellent though.
No.40
>>32These are kind of the sorts of things that would be in the next set of ten, Dreyer, Murnau, Lang, Bresson. Cos I do still love these films, just not as much as the surreal, weird shit of Jarman, Herzog, Jodorowsky.

>>2325/10 me thinks, at best. Mostly just for Alien and Hot Fuzz which are pretty good I suppose.
No.246
>>220That's not bad to be honest, I'll just list a load of directors that should lead you into certain genres that will probably get you into heavier stuff, although I myself am pretty new to it all too.
Fritz Lang
Murnau
Carl Dreyer
Erich Von Stroheim
Bergman
Truffaut
Goddard
Tarkovsky
Passollini
Fellini
Vittorio de Sica
Rossellini
Antonioni
Derek Jarman
Jodorowsky
Herzog
Ken Russel
Visconti
Borowczyk
Zanussi
Angelopoulos
Kawalerowicz
That's about all I can think of right now, and I haven't seen films from a lot of them either but they seem to be the ones to focus on really, and in terms of movements:
German Expressionism
Italian Neo-Realism
French/Brtish/Czecho-Slovak New Wave
New German Cinema
No.289
>>246Great list. Borowczyk is amazing, although my favorite from that list is Murnau.
No.292
>>289yeah, that's my sort of list of directors to watch really, not seen many (if any) films from a lot of them but they do seem to be considered the best and that which I have seen of their stuff confirmed that idea.
Missed out Kurosawa, Ozu, Mizoguchi and some french directors that I can't think of right now but I feel it's a pretty good list to go with to start getting into films (as I am at the moment)
No.293
In not any real order
Amadeus
Inglourious Basterds

id have an honorable mention of The Wolf on Wall Street since I've only seen it once
No.413
>>408good shit, but never really got the hype about Lebowski.
No.414
>>413It's one of those deceptively simple movies that are kinda boring on first watch, and get better on subsequent watches.
I don't know, Coen movies give me the impression to be filled with little details on the script and stuff that get lost on first viewing.
No.415
>>414But the thing is I enjoy a lot of other Coen movies more, it's not that I dislike Lebowski, just never really got the massive hype that it gets.
No.417
>>415I don't perceive it as a massive hype, but more like a huge, rabid cult fanbase.
No.418
>>417Yeah, that does sound pretty accurate, same with Tarantino just a rabid load of people who think it's just the best shit ever.
No.422
>>418Exactly. I like some Tarantino movies, but I can't see why people think they're the bees fucking knees of cinema, when they're pretty much just stylized B-movie tributes.
No.424
>>422Tarantino does have a fair bit of cinematic chops, but I don't think he's the greatest director ever. What I think I like about him is how I feel his love for movies really shows in his work.
He'll never even be in the league Hitchcock or Kurosawa, but his movies are well-shot, the dialogue is good, and they're fun.
No.426
>>424I personally haven't found (the very little that I've seen) from Hitchcock that great.
I've seen Psycho, Vertigo and Sabotage, and I found the latter two rather silly when all is said and done. I guess he must have better films, could you guys recommend me some?
No.427
>>361I saw one of them added to PTP. not sure of the rest
No.429
>>426Rebecca is probably his best, in my opinion, although I rather like Rope too. Rear Window is good as well. If you want to see him do something different than his normal fair, try the Trouble with Harry, a black comedy he made. Also, you might not have liked Sabotage (which is also called A Woman Alone), but Saboteur is very good, the first Hitchcock movie I ever saw.
No.431
>>426To Catch a Thief is probably one of his more relaxed works.
+ Grace Kelly No.433
>>429>>431Thanks, will check those out.
No.447
>>426I'd probably agree with this, I only really enjoy his thrillers, his crime films I always find rather silly and tedious.
>>429>>431I'll try and check these out at some point

>>14there's no way to say this without coming off condescending, but i think you are very young and don't 'get' Ghost World at all.
No.1004
>>1002by that do you mean in the same way that most people don't "get" catcher in the rye and think it's about how great that childhood stuff is rather than about having to move on from that? If so, I do, but I don't give a shit that that's the intended meaning and cling on to all the shit that one shouldn't cling onto.
No.1006
>>1004i haven't read Catcher in the Rye since high school english and barely remember anything about it so i dunno about that
but i don't think Ghost World is 'about' anything in particular in that morality play sense. why do people act like everything teaches a lesson in order for it to be meaningful?
No.1007
>>1006has to teach a lesson*
No.1073
>>1006oh I don't, it's just that he/you (not sure if you're him) said I didn't get it and thus I tried to find what meaning there might be. I do feel that there is still some meaning in it, although not to some deep interesting level, it just puts across some nice ideas in parts.
No.1083

2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
3. The Truman Show
4. Alien / Blade Runner
6. Kill Bill / Inglorious Bastards
7. Predator
8. High Noon
9. Back to the Future
10. Planes, Trains and Automobiles
I usually prefer the works of my favourite directors. You'll see I doubled up on two because I believe they're both worth a mention. Also if I watch Alien I always watch Blade Runner after. They compliment each other greatly.
I certainly enjoy older films but my favourite movies are pretty commercial – to me there's nothing better than a well done movie make for a large audience.

>>1964I am 99% sure that your picks are obscure for obscurity's sake, based on the fact that the only one I have seen (or even heard about), Chukhrai's one, was mediocre at best and I can't think of a reason why it would end up in anyone's top list, but I'm gonna take the bait anyway: how and when were you able to see any of those movies? Literally the only reason I could watch Chukhrai's is by learning the russian language. And that film screened at Cannes so it's one order of magnitude more famous than the others I'd say.
No.1976
>>232I agree with you on Hot Fuzz, its just the best of the Cornetto Trilogy imo. Thank Go Edgar Wright put the title of the film in the end as well if not I would have never found it or seen it again.
No.1977
>>1974They're just mediocre to decent films picked solely for obscurity's sake. Nothing worth taking seriously.
No.1979
>>1974First of all, since you have seen the film care to tell me what is happening in the scene from the screenshot? It's the most important part of the film so if you really have seen it you should have no trouble answering.
Almost all of these films were shown at festivals in the past.
>>1977And which of them have you seen?
No.1983
>mfw plebs pretending to have taste think they can post at me

>>1979About the screenshot: I'm guessing that's right after the daughter leaves the house for good? Before the old man gets sick? Tbh that image does not tell me much. I don't own the movie anymore or I would check.
I'll stand by my statement that the movie is mediocre and not even Chukhrai's best (that would be Forty-first). It's an outdated melodrama without the inventiveness that made his early works exciting. I don't claim to know more about cinema than you, in fact it's just a coincidence that I am familiar with Chukhrai's oeuvre (as I said I know a bit of russian, so soviet film interests me), but your opinion is very baffling. I think you value its relative obscurity more than the work itself.
With that said, your list was probably the most interesting and useful in the thread as I learned a lot of names I didn't know. Still haven't got a clue about how to see any of those, though.
No.1989
>>1984I found the film to be really poetic and offering much insight into the minds of people living in these times.

>>2476nice. director top tens are pretty interesting. especially from decades ago when there was much more limited access to films.
since tarkovsky comes up a lot, here are his picks:
> t was at this point that I asked Tarkovsky if he would compile a list of his favorite ten or so films. He took my proposition very seriously and for a few minutes sat deep in thought with his head bent over a piece of paper. Then he began to write down a list of directors' names - Buñuel, Mizoguchi, Bergman, Bresson, Kurosawa, Antonioni, Vigo. One more, Dreyer, followed after a pause. Next he made a list of films and put them carefully in a numbered order. The list, it seemed, was ready, but suddenly and unexpectedly Tarkovsky added another title - City Lights.
> This is the final version of the list he made: Le Journal d'un curé de campagne
Winter Light
Nazarin
Wild Strawberries
City Lights
Ugetsu Monogatari
Seven Samurai
Persona
Mouchette
Woman of the Dunes (Teshigahara)
> After the list had been typed and signed "16.4.72 A. Tarkovsky," we returned to our conversation, during which he quite naturally changed the subject and started with his gentle sense of humor to talk about something of no importance. Looking back at the list today, 20 years on, it strikes me how clearly his choices characterize Tarkovsky the artist. http://people.ucalgary.ca/~tstronds/nostalghia.com/TheTopics/Tarkovsky-TopTen.html No.3258
>>3256Many director top tens seem to rehash the same familiar stuff. The lack of individuality is a little surprising in fact.
I agree the older lists are uniquely interesting to read though. Here are several from 1952:

I'm kind of a newbie to film, so I'll only list five-
2001: A Space Odyssey (68) What the fuck do the four floating crystals at the end of the movie represent? During that trip sequence.
Offret (86)
Enemy (13)
Funny Games (07)
Unedited Footage of a Bear (14, short; Also, what did you guys think of it?)
Rate? Suggestions for more directions to go from here? Maybe some recs for films in this same vein?
No.3271
>>3270I think 8 1/2 is a pretty solid choice when you are getting started.
As for directions to go, you could pick a film list (something from
http://www.theyshootpictures.com/ for example) and start watching titles that interest you.
I noticed there are also a couple chart threads here on the board.
