married but discreet posted:How have I never looked at this thread before? I haven't seen a really good, capital M Movie in a while, I'm talking artistically valuable and edifying and not just good in the popcorn type of way. Looking at my criticker account (I will never switch to Letterboxd!) here's the last few movies of the type I'm talking about : Little Women The movies everyone else has said as well, but I slept on Little Women for too long despite everyone saying how great it is and drat they were right.

It’s an entire block in Bed Stuy but Do the Right Thing is absolutely a collection of interconnecting stories in one setting. Also has hall of fame production design.

Chronicle of a Summer is one of the most influential docs ever and might help. It’s not media bias but an exploration of how documentary filmmaking can capture truth (if possible), among other things. It’s where the term Cinema Verite came from and just a great movie. It’s on Criterion, here is a link to a short vid talking about it: https://youtu.be/S0dOLHemSgs

Bongo Bill posted:Once again I feel a hankering for a historical war movie, ideally one focusing on a cool general or two. Got any? Not a traditional war movie, but Battle of Algiers has one of the best portrayals of an enemy general you can find.

morestuff posted:Looking for movies that involve groups of people investigating some kind of mystery, but with each individual attacking it from different angles or with their own storylines. Thinking stuff like Zodiac (cops/journalists/Graysmith) or Spotlight (where each journalist's plot is relatively self-contained) Memories of Murder fits this. feedback loop posted:Looking to watch a few movies with really notable representations of the American west coast in the mid-60s to early-70s, highly stylized or otherwise. Think The Long Goodbye and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, where the setting is front and center, for example. Documentary recommendations welcome as well. I'm especially interested in seeing something set in the Pacific Northwest. To Live and Die in LA is a great look at 80s Los Angeles. Boyz in the Hood is like 90 or 91 but would fit as well. Menace II Society or South Central if you want more early 90s feel. Allyn posted:Inherent Vice is this to a T. Makes me think of Almost Famous, too. I'd also suggest Monterey Pop, as a very West Coast answer to Woodstock -- lots of that countercultural psychedelia of the era. Monterey Pop Festival was two years before Woodstock.

A couple more: Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles is a masterpiece and topped the most recent Sight and Sound poll. Support the Girls is drat near perfect in every way

You then have to watch it every year again so you can get together and go “remember last year, when we watched last year at mariendbad”
