Slvbarek, I'm torn between recommending Godfather Part II and 8 1/2. They are probably two of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. So...... eenie meenie meinie moe..... Part II, since you say it's your deepest darkest shame. I hope 81/2 is your second darkest, sir. My list! I'm officially unemployed and a film student, so this is the perfect opportunity to enhance my education. 1. A Fistful of Dollars or For a Few Dollars More I hated westerns when I was younger. Funnily enough the one that changed my mind was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Still not sure why I haven't seen the first two. 2. Braveheart Just, I dunno, it's Mel Gibson? 3. It's A Wonderful Life Or really anything with Jimmy Stewart that isn't Harvey, Rear Window or The Man Who Knew Too Much. Just recently found out that I love Jimmy Stewart, and he's in so many good movies it's kind of overwhelming. 4. The Conformist Just recently found out about this movie, and it has not yet made it up my Netflix. 5. The Night of the Hunter Again, no good reason. 6. Rope or Vertigo I've seen enough Hitchcock that it would take up too much space to list the ones I have seen, but not enough that I can list all the ones I haven't so I'll just start with these two. 7. The Grapes of Wrath I guess I really had no appreciation for the old time masters until the last year or so. I'm sorry. 8. The African Queen Once again, no good reason. 9. Lawrence of Arabia Guess I might as well jump on the bandwagon. This would be more a case of listening to my mother, as this is one of her favorites. I had no desire when I was a kid to sit around and watch a movie for three hours or however long this one is. 10. Annie Hall I say I hate Woody Allen, but I've only seen one (I think?) of his films. A friend of mine compared me to Annie Hall once, so I suppose I should watch to see if it was an insult or not.

caiman posted:Cailin Rua, you must watch Lawrence of Arabia. You will thank me. Thank you. It was absolutely amazing. There's not really a whole lot I can say about this film that hasn't been said by hundreds of people over the years, but I do feel like a better person, or at least a better cinephile, for having watched it. TwinCinema, watch Singin' in the Rain. Right now. Do it. Updated list: I'm gonna start going by TSPDT's list, just to make picking which movies I haven't seen easier for myself. 1.

Alright, VorpalBunny, go watch Goodfellas Just finished watching Annie Hall, and I was hooked within the first five minutes. I found it completely charming and easy to relate to. I take back every mean thing I've said about Woody Allen and don't even mind admitting how wrong I was about not liking him, because he's absolutely genius. I wasn't sure at first about the constant breaking of the fourth wall, but I thought it was definitely in keeping with how neurotic Alvy is (and Allen himself, probably). One of my favorite shots was when Alvy and Rob are walking down the street, but they start off on the other end of the block and around the corner. You hear their dialogue long before you actually see them on screen. I loved it. My favorite scene was definitely the spider in the bathroom, because if I did live alone, I would do the same drat thing. So yeah, overall, being compared to Annie Hall - not an insult. 1. A Fistful of Dollars or For a Few Dollars More I hated westerns when I was younger. Funnily enough the one that changed my mind was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Still not sure why I haven't seen the first two. 2. Braveheart Just, I dunno, it's Mel Gibson? 3.

I'm curious to see if it really is as bad as it reviewed. Watch this Jolo, just to get it over with. Just finished watching Vertigo and man, was that a ride. I was riveted from start to finish. I was glad I went in not knowing anything about the film too, because I did not see that twist coming. I had high expectations considering everyone involved on that film, and it delivered on all levels. Updated list: 1.

toro913, I'm going to pick Once Upon a Time in America. Yeah it's long, but it's also really good. Except for that ringing phone at the beginning. Just finished watching Braveheart. I went in not expecting to like it much, but I actually like it quite a bit. I found some parts of it incredibly moving, like Robert the Bruce on the battlefield after Falkirk, and the speech he gives his father. Angus Mcfadyen totally stole the show for me in that last hour or so. Also loved David O'Hara as Stephen the crazy Irishman. Some really beautiful scenery, though not surprising considering where they were filming. It felt a little long in places, especially after Wallace is captured. Overall though, really solid film. Also watched Battleship Potemkin since it's only an hour or so, and it's available for instant viewing. It is really good, the Odessa Staircase sequence is fabulous, but yeah, really heavy-handed propaganda movie. Updated list: 1. A Fistful of Dollars or For a Few Dollars More I hated westerns when I was younger. Funnily enough the one that changed my mind was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Still not sure why I haven't seen the first two. 2. Tokyo Story I've heard of it, but don't really know anything about it. 3. It's A Wonderful Life I love Jimmy Stewart, so it is rather inexcusable that I haven't seen this yet. 4. The Conformist Just recently found out about this movie, and it has not yet made it up my Netflix. 5. The Night of the Hunter Again, no good reason. 6. Sunrise Same reason as The Conformist 7. The Grapes of Wrath I guess I really had no appreciation for the old time masters until the last year or so. I'm sorry. 8. The African Queen Once again, no good reason. 9.

Hey, JVO, watch Rain Man. Just finished watching It's a Wonderful Life. Really liked it, though as I had been warned by many people, it was a little sappy. As always, James Stewart delivers (I could listen to him talk all day  ), and by the end of the movie you really feel for the character and hope that things start going right for him. And hey, whaddaya know, they do.Updated list: 1. A Fistful of Dollars or For a Few Dollars More I hated westerns when I was younger.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:The Big Red One Apparently it's a pretty well regarded war movie. I have seen none of the movies on your list, so just watch this one. Hope it goes well. As for Tokyo Story I found the writing to be a bit lacking (may have been the subtitles fault), but the atmosphere and style of the movie more than made up for it. The way the camera was used (or not used) really made it feel as if you're getting a view into these people's lives, as if you're just sitting there watching these things happen. The stillness of the background and lack of background music really added to that effect. I didn't feel emotionally connected to the characters, but found myself tearing up when Keiso went to go sit by himself at the funeral. This movie made me feel bad for not calling my father on father's day. Updated list, choose wisely: 1. A Fistful of Dollars or For a Few Dollars More I hated westerns when I was younger. Funnily enough the one that changed my mind was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Still not sure why I haven't seen the first two. 2. Rashomon Thinking about it, I don't think I've seen any Kurosawa. 3. Bicycle Thieves Heard of it, never really been tempted to watch it. 4.

What a beautiful and heartbreaking movie. On top of it, all that beauty felt completely effortless. There didn't seem to be anything deliberate about the camera placement, the cinematography, or the writing, it all felt extremely natural. It almost didn't feel like I was watching a movie at all.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:Kin-Dza-Dza A soviet Sci Fi film that's apparently highly regarded. Watched a clip from each of the movies on your list on Youtube, and this one won. Rashomon is a really beautiful movie. I found the acting to be over the top at times, and the scenes at (in?) Rashomon felt a little muddled, but the forest scenes more than made up for that.

CloseFriend posted:The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford As much as I love Westerns, I haven't seen that many of them. I want to learn more about the genre. I think biopics about famous Old West figures are fascinating because of the ways people make legends of figures who only existed a relatively short time ago. Going with this one. It's not necessarily a western though, just happens to be set in that era. The Night of the Hunter was pretty good. There were a couple parts that I found a bit cheesy (like Powell chasing the kids up the stairs), and I wasn't totally satisfied by the ending. However, I really liked the story and Robert Mitchum is a creepy sinister son of a bitch. I also really liked the sequence when the kids are floating down the river, it had a nice dream- (or nightmare-)like quality to it.

I promise I won't refer to Renoir as 'that guy' anymore.

Waterhaul posted:10: Rashômon - I've yet to see a Kurosawa film and this is the only one I own. Watch this one. I watched it a few films earlier in this thread, and was very pleased with it. Took me a while to watch City Lights because of the stupid holiday (sorry America) and I'm in the middle of a Doctor Who marathon in my queue, but finally got to it today. I went in a little hesitant because I've found with a lot of other silents that my attention (which is like a kitten's) wanders easily, but I found Chaplin completely charming and funny enough to hold it. I do still prefer silents more along the lines of Metropolis with its really striking visuals, but there were definitely a few scenes that had me giggling like a school girl because they were so funny (like the restaurant scene). I did think the ending was a little abrupt, and left me wanting more closure, but overall I really enjoyed it. New list: A Fistful of Dollars I hated westerns when I was younger.

I'm just going to assume that JayBulworth has no idea what's going on, and give Fab Boy Jim Bicycle Thieves As for Grapes of Wrath, thanks for finally giving me this one. I've seen a couple other Fords, and this one is definitely my favorite so far. I've always had a fascination with depression era America, and I love this story and how John Ford told it. The shot towards the end with Tom walking up the hill in the distance was amazing, and I love the final scene when they're driving into Fresno and Ma's explaining how she's not scared anymore. I will say though that I think this is one instance when I would not be upset to see a remake. Only because there were several things the studio wouldn't let Ford put in the movie because of decency.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:The Burmese Harp Your entire list depresses me, because I haven't heard of a single one of those movies. So you get to be depressed too. The General was really really good. I thought the first 30 minutes or so to be kind of slow, but once he gets his lady love back, and they make for the southern lines it really picks up steam. I didn't find Keaton as charming as Chaplin at first (is it even fair to compare the two?), but he grew on me in the last half of the film. His physicality alone is incredible. Good lord. My only (very small) complaint is that some of the music sounded like it came from a Final Fantasy game.

marioinblack, you've got several good options to choose from on your list, but having just watched some Kubrick, I'm going to recommend you some Kubrick. Go watch A Clockwork Orange. So I get why pretty much everyone I've ever met has told me to watch Dr. Strangelove. What a ludicrous and wonderful movie. It has Kubrick's amazing direction and camera work, but on top of that it's hilarious, which I don't remember getting from other films of his that I've watched. I've also never seen George C. Scott like that before. The president was my favorite Sellers bit, mostly because of the phone calls to Kissoff. Really really glad I did actually get around to watching this.

Go watch The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Even if it's not your kind of western, you can't go wrong with Jimmy Stewart. I can't decide how I feel about The Passion of Joan of Arc. One the one hand it's gorgeous with exquisite cinematography. On the other hand, I felt absolutely nothing for the characters on screen. Maybe I'll give it another go in a month or two. New list: A Fistful of Dollars I hated westerns when I was younger. Funnily enough the one that changed my mind was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Still not sure why I haven't seen the first two. The Conformist Just recently found out about this movie, and it has not yet made it up my Netflix. Sunrise Same as The Conformist The African Queen Once again, no good reason. The Rules of the Game Honestly never even heard of this film. The Seven Samurai My brother is in love with this movie, so I've seen bits and pieces of it, but never the whole thing start to finish. La Dolce Vita Saw 8 1/2, liked it well enough, but haven't gone any further into Fellini's films. The Gold Rush Continuing my Chaplin journey. Breathless Never seen any Godard. Apocalypse Now Pretty much the same reason I had for Dr. Strangelove, though I've had less people tell me I'll like this. Finally watched: Lawrence of Arabia, Annie Hall, Vertigo, Braveheart, Battleship Potemkin, It's a Wonderful Life, Tokyo Story, The Bicycle Thief, Rashomon, Night of the Hunter, La Grande Illusion, City Lights, The Grapes of Wrath, The General, Les Enfants Du Paradis, Dr. Strangelove, The Passion of Joan of Arc

rangi, watch Annie Hall. Seven Samurai was incredible. It didn't feel its length at all. Everything on screen developed story and/or character, and was beautifully shot as well. I was a little wary of Toshiro Mifune at first, because I found him almost too much to handle in Rashomon, but his, uh, energy really lent itself to the character of Kikuchiyo.

Peaceful Anarchy, it's Farewell My Concubine for you. I've never seen it either, but I've heard good things. Just finished Breathless. It's a beautiful movie, and just fun to look at. The use of jump cuts and the soundtrack really do leave you feeling breathless. But I hated Michel, hes such a douchebag. And I didn't really care for Patricia either when all was said and done. That being said, I feel this overwhelming urge to watch it again as soon as possible. It's gotten under my skin and I've got this feeling that it's going to be one of those movies that enters my collection, not because I necessarily like it, but because I have to watch it every now and again. On a side note, during the scene in the beginning when Michel is driving through the country side, he says something that in the subtitles is translated into 'Gotta make tracks, Max' (or something,) though I'm pretty sure he says the name Alfonse. I couldn't quite make out what he said in French, but I would love to know what it is. If anybody more familiar with the movie and/or the language could help a goon out, that would be awesome.

Peaceful Anarchy, watch The Traveling Players, because, I dunno, because it's Greek. I very much enjoyed The 400 Blows, I found it very touching and engaging. The story was good and I really liked the kid that played Antoine. His buddy Rene was great too. I can't help but feel, though, that I'm missing something, that there's a greater lesson to have been learned from the film. But either way, teriffic movie.

Sheldrake, you get Cornered A Fistful of Dollars was really good. I still prefer The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, but you can tell that this film is the start of something special. All that (now) classic Leone camera work, Eastwood's scowl, and man, that score. Oh, and a question I've never really thought to ask: It's called 'The Man With No Name' trilogy, but is it all the same character? Or are they three different guys that just happen to be bad-rear end, taciturn and no-named? Probably a stupid question, but eh.

Atheistdeals.com posted:2. The Seventh Seal- Never seen any Bergman and I know nothing about his work. I almost gave you The Trial, but I'm not sure that it's the best intro to Welles if you've never seen anything of his. But I just finished watching The Seventh Seal and enjoyed it immensely, and apparently it's a good place to start with Bergman. The Seventh Seal was incredible. Everything was beautiful, right down to the costuming. What struck me the most was that the composition of every shot was striking and gorgeous to look at. The story was engaging and the theme is one I've always responded to rather strongly. There's way too much to praise about this film for one post, so I'll just leave it at that.

MonkeeKong, go watch Andrei Rublev. The Rules of the Game left me feeling a little lukewarm. I can't say that I became fully engaged with the characters until about the last half hour of the movie. The masquerade party is when the film really picked up for me. Schumacher chasing down Marceau and dragging Lisette behind him was definitely a highlight. Everything up to that point failed to really capture my attention. The comedy aspect was really good, it bordered on farce without being too over-the-top, and there were still some good tense moments throughout the third act. I also really like Renoir's style in general, there were several scenes that reminded me a lot of La Grande Illusion. I just wish that the beginning of the movie had been as enjoyable as the last 30 minutes. It could just be my mood, however, and I'm more than willing to give it a second chance.

Peaceful Anarchy, I'm just gonna make this easy on myself and go with the first one on your list, Beau Travail. Finally, finally, was able to sit down and watch The Conformist, and absolutely loved it. The story, although certainly not weak, definitely took a back seat to the visuals, which were incredibly striking and vibrant and gave the whole film a really surreal, almost whimsical, feeling. I'm sure over time the basic plot to this movie is going to fade from my mind and the cinematography and composition are what's going to stand out.

MonkeeKong, the only movie I've seen on your list is Eyes Wide Shut, so have at. Ugetsu was not quite what I was expecting. It was more somber than I thought it would be, and the supernatural aspects of it towards the end caught me a little off guard, but I really enjoyed it.

Ok, Magic Hate Ball, after long deliberation and several phone calls to various lawmakers, I've decided to give you The Conformist. Have fun! I really enjoyed The Wild Bunch. Peckinpah's direction was extremely tight, and all the actors were really well-suited to their roles. The last 15 minutes or so, especially the final shoot-out, were aces. I didn't think the movie was going to get that bloody. I read on IMdB that John Wayne said this movie destroyed the myth of the old west, and it pretty well does. It's certainly a lot grittier and a lot more violent than any Wayne movie. Alright, moving on: Sunrise Just recently found out about this movie, and it has not yet made it up my Netflix.

You get to watch The Thin Blue Line, dotCommunism. I really enjoyed Modern Times. Chaplin's physicality and sense of timing haven't failed yet to leave me in stitches. Some of the jokes you could see coming from a mile away, but his facial expressions always sold it. Also watched L'Atalante from my list, which overall left me feeling rather lukewarm, though I really enjoyed the dancing scene in the bar.

Watch The Maltese Falcon. It's one of my absolute favorite noirs. La Strada was fantastic. I loved the character of Gelsomina, and found myself relating to her in more ways than I care to admit.

The Gold Rush Continuing my Chaplin journey. Ordet Excited to watch this after having recently seen The Passion of Joan of Arc. L'Avventura I've never seen any Antonioni, but I'm finding I really like Italian film from this period. Contempt Never had any interest in Godard until recently. Intolerance I guess I just haven't gotten around to it yet? Wild Strawberries I know absolutely nothing about this except that it is a Bergman film. North by Northwest I've seen parts of this before, and know the basic story. Rio Bravo My favorite westerns have always been of the spaghetti variety, so I've never given this one much thought.

Once Upon a Time in the West will certainly put you into a cowboy phase. Just finished Rio Bravo and liked it well enough. I've never been a big John Wayne fan, but I love Howard Hawks, and I thought the supporting cast was great. I also loved the humor of it and the use of music, though the singing scene seemed like it was there only because of Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson and it took me out of the movie a little bit. The ending was a little too clean for me and I didn't like the fact that they just ended with 'Oh, the marshal will be here in a few days, they'll be fine in the jail.' It seemed rather anti-climactic. All in all I did enjoy myself, but I still prefer a grittier western.

Babette's Feast for you, Peaceful Anarchy. Wild Strawberries was excellent, and I'm completely sold on Bergman. I don't know that I'll always like his films, but I'm more than willing to watch anything with his name attached to it.
