What's the last film you've seen where you thought, "I literally can't believe how good this film is. I don't think it's even possible for me to enjoy a film more than I am now"? For me it's NCfOM.

The last time I watched ncfom I came to realize just how hillbilly I am and turned it off right about the scene you posted.

Josh Brolin seems to have a weird relationship with this movie. He said recently that during filming he thought it was going to be a huge flop and that everyone basically thought that. I think he was somewhat bitter about the Coens not wanting him at all until Heath Ledger dropped out

Not everyone here likes Lars Von Trier but I had this watching The House That Jack Built. The structure, acting, cinematography, symbolism, music all of it was so fucking good. It's probably his final film based on his health issues but I think it's his magnum opus

No I get it, I loved that film.

josh brolin would think that because he only ever appears in absolute slop like *checks notes* coastlines and the mod squad

Rise of Skywalker

For me it was when he shot the kids in front of their mom

This was Von Trier making a parody of Von Trier

How so? I thought it was more a parody/satire of psychopathic killers. Regardless for me his filmography goes

1. The House That Jack Built
2. Dogville
3. Manderlay
4. Dancer in the Dark
5. Breaking the Waves

Antichrist I love the cinematography but it didn't quite hit the same as the 5 above

I remember thinking that when watching Heat in the theater sitting next to my pleb friends that were thoroughly unimpressed.

It's like seeing the 3d blueprint for all his previous movies. It's transparently Von Trier. I don't know how else to say it, like seeing the secrets to a card trick

Michael Clayton

Dirty Harry
Everything on that film screamed 'made by pros'

Rosemary's Baby/Uncut Gems

probably inception

You haven't watched any von trier film lying faggit

Believe what you wish

The aesthetics of The Neon Demon put me in a trance. I rewatched it the next day.

i saw it in a completely empty theater by myself and it was the first time that had ever happened. i was also put into a trance and recommended it to all of my friends. they watched it on their laptops a couple months later and called me a fag for liking it

Checked, based, and digits confirm.
One of the few true 10/10 masterpieces of film. Just forget that the 4 cashgrab sequels exist.

Heath was supposed to play Llewelyn?

This

considered one of the greatest films of the 21st century

based on a mid McCarthy novel

Bookchads triumph again

literally watched this last night, hadn't seen it since it came out, great movie, still think kelly macdonald in this is the perfect woman

fuck, you must be old as fuck

fuck! you must be old as fuck

the chicken jockey scene in the minecraft movie

One of Scorsese's best. Very underrated

Susperia remake

Absolutely. Disturbingly delusional.

It's top 5 in his filmography easily. Probably his most underrated work next to Silence

silence was slop, zoomer

The matrix is a perfect movie. Perfect. Every scene. Every piece of dialogue

The thing. Perfect suspense. Perfect acting.

Guilty pleasure but mad max fury road. I love every single second of it.
Terminator 2.
Jurassic park

Nice buzzwords but I don't particularly care what you think and I've likely seen more of his films than (You)

Haven't seen it It's in the infinite backlog though. Mean Streets has gotta rank in there too.

Tomorrow Never Dies

Yea Mean Streets is in his top 5 for me. Probably the best acting I've seen from Robert De Niro

To me, this one feels like Lars von Trier apologizing for his filmography. He's an old man reconciling with the depravity he produced, and struggling to justify why his work should be considered art. It's actually quite tragic, but also kind of beautiful. Even though it is essentially an admission that he never quite achieved what he wanted (as evidenced by the multiple attempts at building a house and scrapped plans), he is still able to create something - it's horrific, but it's still something.

I compared Midsomer to the shinning and he was pissed that he watched it. Same man was on his phone during the Lighthouse.

Picrel.
I went in expecting it to be good, but not "best American war film since FMJ" good.

This pretty much. Gringo films feel tame and gay in comparision.

jaws

I find it very sad how brazilian cinema has dozens of good movies but the average br always mentions the same three. Two of them being crimeslop. They aren't even the best hue crimeslop.

and I've likely seen more of his films than (You)

jesus fucking christ

Calm down, it's good but it's just an A24 version of Black Hawk Down

It's BHD without all the dumb corny shit that makes BHD another Saving Private Ryan clone.
Battle of Algiers is a closer comp.

Have you seen The Thin Red Line yet? That's a film that's on the same level as FMJ. It came out around the same time as Saving Private Ryan, but it's much more thematically ambitious.

Have you seen The Thin Red Line yet?

I have, and I really love it. Huffs it's own farts a little too much though imo.
I also really love Clint Eastwood's duology on the battle of Iwo Jima from the American and Japanese PoVs. In general I find American films/media about the Pacific to be much better than stuff about Europe.

For me its how they just decided to not film the final shoot out cause...laziness.

Some slop from when I was a kid probably. I don’t even like movies

mr inbetween dont care if its a series

I ain't got no kino

I don’t even like movies

zased

That was probably the last film that really impressed me. Matt Dillon is unappreciated.

Based Leroy and Stitch enjoyer.

It wasn't necessary to the narrative or the messaging of the film. In any case, its just one more part of the story we'd be getting second hand from the sheriff who wasn't there for it just like he wasn't there for any of the other events. Fucker never even met Chigurh or Llewelyn.

They Shall Not Grow Old, but outside of that one documentary? Never.

dune 2 (except for every frame that shows zendaya's face) when I was on a museum dose of shrooms. Either that, or the first time I saw True Romance

meant for sorry, sleep deprived as shit

Hackers

Independence Day in the theater when I was 13. When they blew up the cities I was like holy shit this is the best movie I've ever seen. Can't really recall that happening since

Burning

old, you must be fuck as

Same. I'm so glad I've watched it at the cinema together with my dad. It only aired for one day.

I watched it on a fucking plane out of curiosity and had to stop myself from crying, ever since watching it my perceptive on WW1's been permanently shifted.

Robocop. I had only seen parts of it as a kid. Thought it was just a goofy 80's action movie (which it is), but it was fucking perfect. It somehow managed to jam damn near every genre into it. It was one of the best "popcorn movies" I've ever seen.

*perspective
holy fuck I need to take a nap my brain ain't working

For me its "Jackpot!".

It's a comedy, sure so some wouldn't say its in the same league as some kino drama, but hear me out. Comedy is the most difficult type of film to get right, if you pull it off it can last forever, for example Back to the Future, Doctor Strangelove and The Producers. Get it just that little bit misjudged and it will not only flop but people will actively WANT to forget it, for example Freddy Got Fingered, Young Eisenstein and Holmes and Watson.

Most comedy films will raise a chuckle and with even the best you will probably give it 4/5 stars, but it takes pure art where every single thing in it is perfect and hilarious right down to the comic timing of the actors, the slapstick choreography and the punch of the one liners.

Films like Chaplin's Modern Times, Laurel and Hardy's Way Out West and Jim Carey's The Mask have all managed to gain perfect comedy status and Awkwafina and Cena's Jackpot! Has also reached the upper echelons of comic perfection.

She is also hot as well, which helps.

The rise of skywalker. Man what a movie, I really couldn’t believe what I was watching.

Gattaca

Black Hawk Down is way less corny and patriotic than it could have been

let’s see

Northman

i feel a spiritual connection to this shit on the back of being scandinavian

Furiosa

dont care if it’s not as good as Fury Road, it was awesome to be back in that world for a couple of hours

Memories of murder

the final act had me ready to drop to my knees in the name of kino

I think WWI feels very distant and otherworldly despite being the first major war to be documented so widely with both photos and videos, but Jackson has managed to make it feel real, current and very human, he was really good at placing the viewer in the timeframe and made it easy to temporarily live the lives of people so detached from our own. At the end, the slow fade back into black and white and the footage escaping back into complete darkness was an almost painful experience for me, I wanted to stay to hear even more and see even more.

couldn't have put it into better words myself. I obviously recognised the tragedy on a rational level before seeing it but the documentary made me see the men, and largely, the boys, in those videos like they were my own brothers living next to me today. The horror of it all honestly

Memories of murder

Thanks for reminding me. I need to watch it again.
I remember being blown away by it when i watched it years ago.

Kino

Napoleon Dynamite

Then tell us which are

Idk why this one is so great.. Good story, good actors, well made, nice pacing. It's just overall a really good movie.

One of my favs, no other kino had me feeling as one of the guys in an expedition to an unknown destiny.
Quest for Fire, definitely.

>Memories of murder

This and "A Bittersweet Life" convinced me that Asians have souls more so than any Kurosawa films ever did.

Yi-Yi is irrefutable proof that some Asians have souls.

Only God Forgives

Loved it at first, the atmosphere really was superb. Then the incest mom came in and her whole character was a bit cheesy, she kind of ruined the movie imo, made it seem less serious. Some things with the police lieutenant could have made a little more sense too. Generally pretty cool atmosphere and plot, I just don't like most of the dialogue or acting

funny, I thought it was a worthless piece of shit.
i guess you hipster plebbitors are easy to please

It's the Pusher trilogy for me.

I would like to also mention Sorcerer as I first heard of it on Anon Babble and I watched it many times since then and loved it.

Manhunter, about an hour in. It was really late and I wasn't sure about watching it since I thought I might be too tired to concentrate, but I was absolutely glued to the TV instead.

2007 was absolutely the very LAST year with good movies and that's a FACT. anything after has been garbage

drive

top gun maverick

inception

edge of tomorrow

nightcrawler

despicable me

You are gay is a FACT.

version of Black Hawk Down

gotta disagree with you there.
BHD was studio SLOP 101....paint by numbers
A24 is dogshit pinko commie shit, but WARFARE was like a Theatre play, focusing on the dramatic interplay between people. No ads for Coca Cola, no obnoxious soundrack, no CGI

in cinema; the raid 2, district 9, paranormal activity off the top of my head. not in cinema i think the deer hunter. titanic has also held up well and i always defend it.

It's just an example of how jews like him fantasize

based pressure kino connoisseur

as for mine i think the effects of screamer blew me away for just a cheesy run of the mill scifi/action flick the backdrops and shit of the area's they walked through seemed very realistic and well done as well as the cold snowy environment beats modern blockbusters easily

You ever come across a Mexican drug deal gone bad?

Yeah I'm also a guy big into movies with believable environments actors are actually in. When a movie feels like it's mostly green screen, part of me loses interest in it immediately. Total Recall and Robocop still feel futuristic to me and I can't stand how fake everything in the new Dredd feels in comparison to Stallone Dredd.

bill and scarlet did not get along

damn that is shocking

It makes you feel like you were supposed to exist.

Nice way to put it. I felt the same way about this movie as you. You should check out some more Sofia Coppola movies she's great.

Many years ago, Die Hard with a Vengeance. I've watched 1, 2 and 4 by that point, but for some reason I never had a chance to watch the third one at that point. For whatever reason my brain shut off the logical thinking part that says "of course John is going to win, duh" and I was completely hooked by the point when the villain almost won, if not for the card. My monkey brain loved this movie.

The Duellists. I couldn't believe it was Ridley Scott's first film.

Swing Girls. 2004 Japanese film

blade runner 2049 is the obvious and only answer. before that it was blade runner 1.
the original star wars trilogy receive runner up awards

genuinely unreal, type of shit that feels impossible and inhuman to make, only film I feel like it deserves 6 stars or something. cannot believe how they pulled this off

alien romulus. can't believe no one has said it

The first half of Sinners is 10/10, then it becomes 8/10 then a 6-7/10. Still worth watching

Have you seen the French original? Can you tell how does it compare?

Excellent movie.

Probably when I got to see Akira (for the first time) in the cinema a few years ago

You must have seen the 25th anniversary release from last year

NCfOM

acronym fags are mentally insane

yeah recently i tried watching the hobbit battle of five armies as something comfy and the cgi elf warrirors was so poorly done looked like something you'd see in strategy video game i had to turn it off immediately

Have you seen the French original? Can you tell how does it compare?

not but yeah it's an equally good film for it's time the oil scene is awesome it's different from socerer but still a great film

Apocalypse Now
My mind was blown, beautifully shot
I'm yet to see the documentary by Coppola's wife

All good picks. Fuck, Furiosa was good. The opening chase is one of the greatest scenes in all of cinema.

I rewatched Austin Powers and it’s just so good, so funny.
