[CiG]

I refuse to play Lucas' little number game, if 4, 5 and 6 came out before 1, 2 and 3 then they aren't fucking 4, 5 and 6.
Fuck that wanker.

 

[unknown]

I cant even imagine why anyone would compare that series to TWBB. Apples to oranges bro.

Yeah gonna have to agree here. There is nothing likable about Daniel Day-Lewis's character (other than killing Paul Dano). In The Man with No Name trilogy you always end up rooting for Blondie (or maybe Tuco in TGTBATW). Not to mention that the music and whole visual aesthetic is completely different

 

[Addo_Of_Nex]

This is the kind of list that changes on a daily basis for me, but fuck it. No particular order.

Synecdoche, New York (Kaufman)

Kung Fury
Django Unchained
The Lego Movie
Life of Pi
Wolf of Wall street
The three tolkien movies
Frank
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

 

[CiG]

Throne of Blood

Nice, total respect for this choice.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

pretentious douche list:

Probably what most will think of my entire list:

Lost Highway (David Lynch, 1997)
Crash (David Cronenberg, 1996)
Flesh and Bone (Steve Kloves, 1993)
Shadow of a Doubt (Alfred Hitchcock, 1943)
Eugenie... the Story of Her Journey into Perversion (Jess Franco, 1969)
Love Rites (Walerian Borowczyk, 1987)
The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995)
Szamanka (Andrzej Zulawski, 1996)
Bug (William Friedkin, 2006)
The Iron Rose (Jean Rollin, 1973)

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Bug? wow really? Im just curious how thats even an option for you, you being a film guy and all. And that's not a criticism im just curious really

where the wild things are (jonze)

and this surprised me from you too. I mean it's a good movie but a fav? heh what do I know..

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Bug? wow really? Im just curious how thats even an option for you, you being a film guy and all

Bug really knocked me sideways. Friedkin's mastery of the limited setting (it really didn't hit me until after I first watched it that the camera hardy leads the motel room), the manic performances of Judd and Shannon ("I AM THE SUPER MOTHER BUG!", the overall sense of paranoia and insanity and its dark sense of humor. Clearly not a film for everyone but it works for me.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Yea that movie Bugged me out. I actually like it and people give me shit about it lol. What's your interpretation of the end? I guess PM me or SPOILER it if you want

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

The Ninth Gate

Oh yea, this movie is definitely a weird little gem

It was difficult to exclude No Country For Old Men, Fargo or 12 Monkeys. My list changes frequently.

I think you should switch these with Munich, The Proposition and Children of Men

 

[CiG]

Oblivious Maximus I've seen not one thing on your list, fuck me.

 

[Psychonaut]

The Breakfast Club
Fargo
IP Man
The Matrix
Pan's Labyrinth
Saving Private Ryan
Empire Strikes Back
Braveheart
13 Assassins
Pulp Fiction

Also: Princess Bride, IP Man 2, Goodfellas, The Godfather, Raising Arizona, Let The Right One In, LOTR Trilogy, Whiplash, No Country For Old Men, Fearless, Gladiator, Heat, Big Lebowski, Brotherhood of the Wolf

i've always felt that TWBB is more a descendent of CITIZEN KANE than anything. i wrote a long thing about this once but i think it's lost.

So instead, top ten movies I've seen released the last five years cherry picked from a list in no order:

certified copy
cosmopolis
a field in england
the grand budapest hotel
inherent vice
inside llewyn davis
margaret
tabu
this is not a film
tree of life

list:

Lost Highway (David Lynch, 1997)
Crash (David Cronenberg, 1996)
Flesh and Bone (Steve Kloves, 1993)
Shadow of a Doubt (Alfred Hitchcock, 1943)
Eugenie... the Story of Her Journey into Perversion (Jess Franco, 1969)
Love Rites (Walerian Borowczyk, 1987)
The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995)
Szamanka (Andrzej Zulawski, 1996)
Bug (William Friedkin, 2006)
The Iron Rose (Jean Rollin, 1973)

i don't find this list pretentious at all, it's pretty pulpy and badass. and i desperately need to see a whole bunch of 'em. i have no idea what that FLESH AND BONE thing even is.

and this surprised me from you too. I mean it's a good movie but a fav? heh what do I know..

thing just crushes me. i don't think i've ever seen such an overwhelmingly, unexpectedly dark and bittersweet ending, and i adore the way the themes are visualised and the whole aesthetic and everything. it's very me *shrug*

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

i have no idea what that FLESH AND BONE thing even is.

Compared to the other films on my list it probably sticks out like a sore thumb being a major studio (Paramount) production with a mega star cast, Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan, James Caan and Gwyneth Paltrow. Its one of the most underrated and underseen films from the 90's for some odd reason.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Everyone that doesn't have 2001 and Blade Runner in their list is a pretentious douche. Just sayin'

 

[CiG]

Anyone that doesn't have Conan The Barbarian in their list is a poseur faggot and is vntrve.
