Europe

Historically Germany but in the last two decades France, also why is Mexico in the pic?

Both italy and france, germany can't really compare

Germany had Murnau, Herzog and Lang so I'm gonna say Germany.

Germany. All film is degenerate because of kraut's cinema in the 20s.

That is like asking which has the best basketball team. ; )

You forgot ferreri and bertolucci

Fellini one that one with 8 1/2 you know. Big movie.

Ferreri no, Bertolucci yes. Soavi too because Dellamorte Dellamore is 10/10

Why no ferreri?

Germany had one of the most influential filmmaker of all times, but after the 20s they were not all that relevant, although they had interesting movements and great filmmakers.
Italy had a massively influential film movement with neo-realism, and after that a slew of renowed filmmakers, both in arthouse and in genre cinema, but it is arguable how influential they actually were.
The answer is probably france. Not so much for the films themselves but more for the impact that the nouvelle vague had on cinema as a culture. If cinema is now considered a form of art it is mostly due to the cultural impact that snobby french critics-turned-filmmakers had on the system in place in the post-war moviemaking.

Don't like any of his films especially. Maybe that one with Benigni, although only Jarmusch ever used him properly if you ask me

Movies are not influential, wars are influential. That being said, France, Germany and Italy definitely have had influential wars.

For me it's the War of the Bucket

Spain is the best non-UK European cinema of the moment and it's not even close.

Italy because Valentina nappi

What was the last western spaghetti released user ?

No

anyone who doesn't say French is literally a retard
by far the most important nation in the history of cinema

The 20s and early 30s were great for german cinema but they didn't do shit since then

Germanistanis only have Das Boot and Fritz Lang films.
The frog fuckers only ever made self-masturbatory tryhard faggotry.
Italians by far.

however... I guess tarantino's movies, oh , and rango

Lol. France & then Italy. I’d argue the UK would be ahead of Germany since the 30’s. Germany has been a cultural wasteland for 70 years.

>The frog fuckers only ever made self-masturbatory tryhard faggotry.
The most successful French movies, and by far, are low IQ comedies.

don't get uppity now, froglet.

We’re talking influential. The only really influential directors there are Fellini & maybe Leone. The ones you listed are all great filmmakers, but none are anywhere near as influential as Godard or Truffaut for instance. Not saying they’re better than say Antonioni, but they were far more influential.

Well Spain is doing a lot better these days seeing as Nuevo Cinema Español was a facsimile of French and Italian new wave. However, the implications of your post not related to Spain are both ridiculous and appaling and it must therefore be discarded. The UK and Germany have been in a decade long battle of whose cinema can be more politically corrupt and artistically bankrupt while the rest of Europe hide their face in disgust.

Probably his best role of villain, top kino

They had the new German cinema with Herzog, fassbinder, wenders, and the likes

Never seen a foreign movie before in my entire life. Suggestions for a good start? I'd rather go with something not boring.

even Italian capeshit is KINO

The most successful American movies by far are capeshit.
Doesn't make them worth talking about, nor doesn't that take anything away from new Hollywood or the golden age

watch metropolis, one of the best scifi films of all time. I haven't seen it myself so subtitles might or might not exist cause its in german.

came here to post this. nothing better then nazi propaganda, right bros?

lol wtf are you talking about. french cinema has never been so shit as in the last 2 decades

Definitely. That's why 40s german cinema produced so many classics everyone still love today

hitler did everything wrong

The fifth element
Taken 1 2 3
The quest for fire

So many French movies you could watch.

Based. You can feel the SOUL with just this image.

>Taken 1 2 3

What about good movies instead?

Watch Lola Rennt.
It's 90% visual storytelling so it will be easy on you.
Tykwer in his prime before the Wachowski persons lured him in his sex dungeon and scrambled his brains.

Looks boring

Frenchies made movies about Tekken? Based France

anything italian from the 70's even b-movies are entertaining
they're usually heavy on politics tho while not being cringe or virtue signaling like recent american movies, but you won't probably notice since things have changed

Blow it out your ass.

Would you kindly stop flooding our Kinos with witty comedies about a middle aged man aiding some minority in distress. Merci.

t. Your friendly neighbours, the Germans

German boomers love it

All these idiots recommending boring shit to keep you from ever watching a foreign movie ever again. It's their idea of a joke. Start with something easy, like Amelie Poulain or Soul Kitchen. Maybe City of God. Amorres Perros. Those are easy to get into.

What are you referring to, Hans ?

Would you stop flooding our TV with awful, awful TV shows and TV movies? They're fucking everywhere on any channel, I think there are even more right now than the american ones.

German boomers have a 500+ million dollar public broadcast system dedicated exclusively to createing content for the mentally senile. Fassbinder is rolling in his grave.

Metropolis is THE scifi movie. Everything after it is influenced by it either directly or indirectly. It's a masterpiece.

we'll do that once you stopped sending us boring detective shows, police dog shows, paramilitaries dressed in clown shows and highway police shows
what the fuck is it with your police obsession

They're obsessed with police and highways

Yes, perhaps we can come to some kind of agreement and restore the Cinematic glory of our nations. An axis of aesthetics, if you will.

Fassbinder was a very niche director & the other two are far more miss than hit.

Transporter movies were French too.

I'm not so sure making something indistinguishable from an American action movie is something to aspire to but Besson surely did a good job of it.

It did like most europacorp productions, they're made to sell internationally

It's funny how Americans on Yea Forums come up with all sorts of mental gymnastics to try and pretend that they're really cool, when actually they all look like pic related and they all have an obsessional fetish for cuckolding.

You filthy intellectual.

Can't have any of that romance romantic shit.

German movies are superior, I'm saying this after having had sex.

French, unless you count Italian-Americans as well

How can italian americans compete with italians?

The French, just like the Germans, have given up. All they can do now is make movies about their own ironic detachment. How are you supposed to create art when you detest the culture it stems from? This is why for instance Korean cinema feels so much more sincere than anything the former cinema nations put out.

Negative chin alert

its not about the quality of the movie but about the techniques used which were revolutionary

I don't get it. Not him, btw.

Question:
nowadays we see a lot of TV miniseries with high production values which are basically long movies.
Can Sandokan be considered the pioneer of this? Was there anything else comparable at the time?
Much of the other TV series I remember of that era (the American ones), were episodic series such as A-Team or Dukes of hazzard; Start Trek too.

I'm speaking just about Italy: we used to call those things "sceneggiati", they were basically that, longer movies. Two quality ones that I would recommend are Pinocchio by Comencini and Il Segno Del Comando, an early 70s story that could be described as a gothic ghost story vaguely similar to something something Twin Peaks. Always loved this one

Nope. There was a lot of stuff that preceded it.
The quartermass experiment mini series comes to mind.

Obviously French by far

>Il Segno Del Comando
Sounds interesting.

I know about "sceneggiati", a famous french-italian sceneggiato with similar characteristics was the Monte Cristo one with Depardieu, but it came much later than Sandokan.
