Post your age.
Last film you've seen that's so good you'd probably put it in your top 20 favorite films.
I'm 22.
For me, it's Sorcerer (1977). In my top 5 favorite films of all time now.
What's the last 11/10 film you've seen?
omega doom 1996
I used to like this movie. I dont know when but at some point in the last few years it became the biggest meme dudebro wannabe letterboxd faggot tryhard indicator ever. I'm not sure what it is, I think its just the perfect combination of semi-old (70s so not too old), semi-obscure (still by a famous director), with a cool poster that every faggot can put on his letterboxd and feel cool. Its like the upgraded version of Fight Club or Master and Commander or any of those masculine-man-coded movies that everyone is too embarrassed to say is their favorite now because they got too memed.

At your age I was fucking and drinking, not watching pretentious crap. With this information you are free to go back.
OP btfo'd
The last one was probably Interstellar.
Lol so you legitimately liked a movie until some gay corner of the Internet ruined it for you? I don't know what's worse, letterboxd fags or caring this much about what some hivemind on the internet thinks. At least they chose a good slowburn that lives up to the hype
All this tells me is that I am superior for not using whatever Letterboxd is.
At 22 I was part of a private tracker, and I probably watched more interesting movies at that time than any other time in my life. I was genuinely interested in film. Now I'm 33 and hate everything, and am just looking for any fleeting moment of joy I can hold on to.
you're over socialised
Does this movie have anything to do with an actual sorcerer, or is that just an ambiguous, pretentious title?
this movie sucks
there's no sorcerer in it
yeah man fucking false advertising I wanted sword and sorcery in the jungle
edge of tomorrow and oc and stiggs
meme dudebro wannabe letterboxd faggot tryhard indicator
Yeah its annoying but you should try not let opinions of others to influence what kind of films you like or don't like, of course sometimes its unavoidable but still.

these are probably the top 10 movies I've seen this year
It's alright. One of the better Friedkin flicks.
or Master and Commander or any of those masculine-man-coded movies that everyone is too embarrassed to say is their favorite now because they got too memed
Feeling that.
Macbeth 1971

Sell me on the Devil's Trap please, I haven't seen that one
I love Excalibur, seeing it spammed on social medias by bot accounts to underage latinx audience as some andrew tate tier masculinity cargo cult film is disgusting
What movie is this
king of new york
lucky number slevin
the endless
The film depicted in the pictures is Excalibur (1981)
Thank you, Anonymous.
The real sorcery was the comradery that flourished along the way
youre thinking of the brave little toaster
2049 is the best movie released after 2010.
Whiplash is a close second.
Barry Lyndon. 47!

Blows my mind that it was directed by Ol Drippy
being this neurotic
allowing an associated fanbase to change your opinion of the underlying work's quality
How does a man end up like this?
This says everything about you and nothing about them

NTA but it's a neat movie about the age of obscurantism. More precisely about a village whose miller family has a secret to find underground water even in times of drought. So a priest is sent to the village to see if the miller is in league with the Devil or not. The ending is really good. The director also made other great films like Marketa Lazarova and The Valley of the Bees. I recommend them.
So the irony of you altering your preferences based on external social perceptions, exactly like the hivemind smoothbrains you seem to despise so much goes over your head? You're just like them, except one step above in the pretentious ladder.
Marketa Lazarova and The Valley of the Bees
I have those two on my watchlist, I guess I might as well add the Devil's Trap too then, thanks
Nothing wrong with not wanting to be associated with a trend that might have other connotations
Trolling is a art
Real men don't care so much about societal perception, they like what they like.
In a Lonely Place, 32
At 22 I was shooting heroine up my arms, slaughtering VC's and getting my dick sucked in Vietnam
Lost my damn legs and a couple fingers but it was worth it serving my country to the fullest
At your age I was fucking and drinking
I got bored with that shit by the time I was 17. You're supposed to grow up as you get into your 20s you know.
Harrison Ford ruins it.
The Swimmer
Not a good reason to stop liking it. Still right it's particularly wanked on Anon Babble
At 22 I had a gf of 4 years did hard drugs and partied had a band and still made time to watch kinos and hear good albums. Life is long

My favorite movie when I was 12
Oh and I left out I had been on Anon Babble for 7-8 years by that age
Exquisite fucking taste, anon.
Don't really rate movie that highly, especially not casually. Best thing I've seen recently got to be either State and Main or Homicide.

It's a really brutal depiction of how horribly the 1972 Israeli Hostage crisis went. It doesn't even portray the main cast as heroes either, but humans because they do fuck up a few times as well. In a post 9/11 world, it's fucking ridiculous what Germany tried to do regarding the hostages. I think the film is free on Peacock's streaming service
Three Days of the Condor
Kino. And when I say kino I'm talking Max Von Sydow as an assassin.
Definitely the only rebootquel worth watching. And yeah, it was pretty good.
If that american remake is an 11/10 what's the superior original? 13/10?
Is this the film that's nonstop action? Been meaning to watch
Sorceror (1977)
One of very few films that fits every category on this chart.
This is well made.
Sorcerer is an inferior remake to an earlier film. That's why it highlights when someone hasn't watched enough films. Sorcerer is all style, little substance. Has one awesome scene and people selectively remember that.
They're each superior in different ways. Characterization of the town and development of some characters are undoubtedly better in The Wages but the driving section is just not done very well and specifically the sequence with the washboard road where communication breaks down is straight out of DBZ or some such anime with its complete handwaving of timing and established spatial relationships. Sorcerer in those respects does a vastly better job even if it doesn't handle the establishment of characters or setting quite as well as Wages does. They're both worthwhile adaptations of the novel.
Sorcerer has more than one awesome scene.
It has like 5.
both are superior
To what, subhuman?
compares to a Japanese animation released decades later, abbreviates the name like everyone understands
Spastic.
pretends to be unable to read
is deliberately obtuse
only buzzwords, doesn't address anything
Talk about all style no substance
upset he wrote a paragraph of shit, while I responded more succinctly
compares me to a film for no reason
doesn't address my points
Has one awesome scene and people selectively remember that.
That is objectively not true. Character intros, rope bridge scene, tree detonation, and 'final' detonation of the top of my head. I love Wages of Fear, and there are many aspects that it genuinely does better, but you faggots who make Highlander competition out of these two films are just obnoxious. They are so sufficiently different from each other, it's not even funny. Genuine case of severe prolapsing contrarianism. Get better.

Subservience.
A refreshingly deep throwback to the philosophical queries and concepts explored in early sci-fi novels.
