Donnie Darko, something about the narrative really appeals to me, even though it’s imperfect

The Silence of the Lambs, Anthony Hopkins is pure kino

Lawrence of Arabia, my dad loved it, great movie

Fight Club
The Dark Knight
A Clockwork Orange

LotR: Two Towers

300
Boondoks Saints

Trainspotting
Good Will Hunting
American Beauty

Natural Born Killers - It is incredibly fun to look at, and the pace is very much like a music video. Also, I like the love story and Wayne Gayle as the villain.

Bad Lieutenant - Harvey Keitel gives an amazing performance here, as a man struggling with faith, who ultimately finds redemption, salvation.

Bram Stokers Dracula - Another movie I could look at all day. The style manages to make one overlook the performance of Kino Reeves.

As I get older, 36, I really appreciate the style of the 90's. Require for a Dream gets an honorable mention here as well. So visually interesting.

American Psycho - It's funny as fuck, filled with excellent performances, good music, incredibly entertaining and thought provoking and memorable/quotable as fuck

The Tree of Life - Restored my faith in god and it's a masterwork of cinema

Clockwork Orange - Got me into film and it's very entertain, has great cinematography, it's really funny, memorable, unique and the user of music is excellent

Conan The Barbarian
>excellent adventure film with god-tier score

Snatch
>infinitely rewatchable and quotable. My go-to movie when I have friends over

The Sorcerer

Yes, stop whatever your doing now and go watch either of them. Both, and make a thread when your done.

Children of Men - best movie of the 2000s
Barry Lyndon - A:10 V:10 everything else:10
Quest for Fire - see above, but with cavemen.

>Children of Men - best movie of the 2000s
Well, only based on direction, cinematography and believability (given that England is heading that way now).

>Terminator 2
One of the two best action movie of all time
>Aliens
One of the two best action movie of all time
>Lord of the Ringses
Best fantasy movie

It had some great music too, and the best modern war story yet. Really captures the cringing behind corners, hiding from airstrikes of asymmetric warfare.

Little murders
City of god
Raising Arizona
Every now and then I have different movies in this list

Night of the Hunter essentially defines my aesthetic sensibilities towards filmmaking, and it contains themes that resonate with me on a personal level. The struggle and hearts of children, the loss of innocence, male/female power dynamics, the beauty and horror of religion, greed and the evils of money and the nature of love (familial, sexual and in a platonic sense). It’s too perfect.

The Swimmer very much appeals to me in a similar way. While the imagery isn’t QUITE as evocative as Night of the Hunter, it has the added gift/curse of color, a warm look that is from my favorite period of color film stock. If Night of the Hunter is a fairy tale (in the old sense of the word) that touches my inner child, The Swimmer becomes more and relevant as I age. It tackles the distinctly first world, over-the-hill feelings of regret, discovery, desire for youth, confusion in the changing times, rediscovery of the self and the inevitably of death.

Finally, Kill Bill (one film, not two) is, for my money, the perfect middlebrow base appeal to what I like that’s ever existed. It’s Tarantino’s most visually accomplished film by far, and the stylistic trappings of both sides appeal to me on a caveman level. The ultimate popcorn experience.

Night of the hunter is literally movie for grandmothers.
Jesus Christ this was one of the worst movies of my life just because of that 3rd act

Judging by your response i’d say modern culture has convinced you that love and beauty are concepts to be bored or embarrassed by. I hope you are young and have time left to fix your heart.

But Alien and The Terminator are better.

Oldboy (2003)
The Thin Red Line
Shining
Memento

Can't decide

mementos not that good, watched for the first time a few weeks ago

Watching this once then watched it again with the twist and never seen it again

This, I'd never seen a movie done like it the way it was but the gimmick got old half way through.

True Stories
Man Bites Dog
Kitchen Stories

The Galaxy Invader
It’s campy and fun and has charm.

The Living Daylights
It’s just kino. Great soundtrack and many great scenes.

The Shining
Also kino with a ton of great scenes.

>Moulin Rouge
>Hedwig and the Angry Inch
>The Matrix
Yes, I am a female.

>I am a female
sure bro

based, Reznor's song on natural born killer is beautiful and fits perfectly

Persona for its absolute, intense cinematography, existential gloom, unprecedented atmosphere, excellent soundtrack (Yea Forumsvie lover here), etc.
North By Northwest for its first-rate set and costume design, amazing soundtrack, tense plot, surreal settings, etc.
Pulp Fiction for its riveting circular narrative, natural acting, diversity of tones, exciting soundtrack, etc.

(Formally male)

Snowpiercer is pretty mediocre compared to the rest, so yes watch them. Just don't expect a great 3rd act in Sunshine. CoM is pure kino though

Dancer In The Dark (I love Björk, really depressing but never manipulative)
Lolita 1997 (a fantastic psychologic story, subtle and raw)
Lost In Translation (great soundtrack and sense of humor, really good character interactions, phenomenal conclusion)

meant for him

>MEMEento
get it? haha

Bruv they're hardly going to think that one of your favourite films of all time is the Oldboy remake. Though that would be pretty based.

Realistic child characters are a sign of excellence.

I like your categories, early middle and late stage moviemaking. If I made a list that way, it would be:
-the Hidden Fortress
I stan adventure, escape, leadership and survival in turbulent society & nature.
-the Princess Bride
Comfy, competent sound and visuals buttress a flawless script full of joy and great masculine role models.
-Sunshine
The one true 2000s movie for me, it symbolizes the delusional secular, multinational imagination that gripped the USA during my youth. Sunshine, like Icarus, was a doomed mission.

Eraserhead - because Lynch's aesthetic at its most raw and it also tells a very powerful story of Henry's liberation from dissociating from traditional morality. Lynch always has a great sense of humanity as well and a lot of the situations Henry is placed in feel oddly relateable
North by Northwest - Hitchcock's film with the best (and most complex) plot and the best writing. Apparently the actors didnt even understand the film when they were filming it. Tension manipulated masterfully in in so many subtle ways that only really the subconscious picks up at first. Visually very energetic&engaging as well.
Wake in Fright - probably one of the best (and most underrated) psychological thrillers of all time. There aren't any villains in particular in this film but sort of just sort of this encompassing dark energy that inhabits its characters and their land.

>Conan

Extremely based.

Eyes Wide Shut, Apocalypse Now and The Godfather Part I. I think about them often and they're always present in my subconscious. All 3 of them are just brilliant.

It's a really good movie, but it's not exceptional in any way. 12 Monkeys was basically a more competent version of it before it even existed.

Memento
Primer / Upstream Color
Children of Men

>Cuty Of God
>Raising Arizona
Excellent films user

THAT NIGHT I HAD A DREAM

Taxi Driver - plot builds up to an amazing ending
Prisoners - most suspenseful movie I’ve ever seen
Goodfellas - just a fun movie

Andre Rublev
Big Trouble in Little China
Paris, Texas

What is up with Jackman's face? It looks cgi'd in that poster

Moulin Rouge is great and creative. The Matrix is both of those things as well, but it glorifies a post-apocalyptic pod world, while Moulin Rouge's charming 19th century Paris has more staying power.

While I have you here, what do grills think of The Descent? I gave it a rewatch recently and was impressed.

Memento
Spirited away
The wailing

I really want to put one of satoshi Kons movies but can't decide which.

Casino Royale
Breakfast Club
Scarface

Kys zoomers.

star wars a return of the jedi
avengers endgame
full metal jacket

Lotr - The soundtrack, casting and emotional beats were all perfect
Children Of Men - Great pacing and cinematography. Ceasefire scene is kino
Whiplash - J.K Simmons

Kiki's delivery service - Top comfy childhood/adult favorite

The Up series, favorite is probably 28 Up - You really get to know the people involved and binge watching feels like you just spent a lifetime with them

Godzilla (2014) - Got jacked off in an emtpty theater while the evil monster fucked shit up. Still smile when I think about it

Ed Wood
Inside Llewyn Davis
The Breakfast Club

1. Burger
2. King
3. Foot lettuce

Coonskin. I like the name
Assault on Precinct 13 (original). It's awesome.
Watch out were mad. Bud Spencer and Terence Hill Kino.

Yes I'm old, cope.

If the theatres empty how did you get jacked off. You had a cheeky wank you fibber

Lord Of The Rings (love them all, may as well lump then into one movie)
The Grudge
Reservoir Dogs

>Gladiator
>Matrix
>LOTR

>Conan The Barbarian
Basil Poledouris' score definitely solidifies it, but how it has simple yet deep characters and a rich world and story, from having almost no actual actors on the cast and very little dialogue, is truly incredible. It shouldn't be as great of a film as it is, but it just is.
>The Outlaw Josey Wales
I like dark gritty 70s westerns anyway, but the scene with Ten Bears knocks this film out of the park.
>Zardoz
Past the meme costume and quotes, it's a great dystopian future film and frames the duality of barbarism and civilization and their effect on the human condition in ways few films have done.

Gladiator and Hackson's LOTR are extremely overrated.

Outstanding taste all-around.
>Quest For Fire
That's a good one. Not enough cavekino out there.
Yeah Night of the Hunter is incredible, I was making a 3x3 grid a week or two ago and deciding on a single shot of that film was incredibly difficult. The score is solid too, and even the child actors are great.
Kill yourself at the earliest convenient opportunity.
It's still Nolan's best film.
>Assault on Precinct 13
Matthau's face at the end of that one is still one of the best endings in cinema.

I haven't seen the Descent: will check it out!

tried to watch it twice, got bored 15min in and turned it off

Why did you get bored?

i dont remember it was 15 years ago, maybe it was just me being retarded will try to watch it again

>Nolan's best film
Insomnia?

I would have chosen Once Upon a Time in America and Dancer in the Dark in my top three, but I'd like to showcase some movies that haven't appeared in this thread.

Kids
Portrays modern teenagers with 100 percent accuracy. Overall, Larry Clark is one of my favorite directors.

Irreversible
Gaspar Noe inserts as much chaos and fury into this movie as possible. It's a film that came elevates itself from good to great by it's ending.

Bad Hair.
A Venezuelan foreign film that mixes grittiness with innocence masterfully.

Also both horror movies, with slightly dated visuals by comparison. Also, Alien isn't a JC film and Terminator was hobbled by a small budget.
Cameron at his best (T2 and Aliens) had a very distinctive style that I absolutely love. The only ones that come close are Verhoeven and Blomkamp, but they're short on classics and still not as good.

Post westerns are amazing.
Once Upon a Time in the West > Josey Wales > Little Big Man > Unforgiven

Elite troop
Inception
Endgame

Legitimate.
Fair enough.
OUaTitW was in my top 3 until I rewatched Wales, again for me that scene with Ten Bears just can't be beat.

>Also both horror movies, with slightly dated visuals by comparison
I found visuals in Alien better desu. Only the Xenomorph looked slightly better.

Alien isn't dated in the slightest though.

Yeah I won't argue Josey over Once Upon a Time. It's the movie with soul versus the virtuoso. They're both magnificent.

Tell No One - Perfect crime thriller
Revanche - perfect drama
The Edge

The 1997 one is better.

>(1966) Persona
when I first found it, I felt like I'd discovered a film that I'd been ready for my whole life. that 7 minute montage at the start is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
the acting and cinematography are all incredible, and the story is basically opaque enough that you can either take it as an enigma that just washes over you and still enjoy it, or as a puzzle to figure out - I took it as the latter, and when I settled on a provisional interpretation that seemed right (or right enough) it became one of the greatest pieces of art I've ever experienced.

Alien [1979]
really cool and scary. holds up well

The Shining [1980]
really fucking scary

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest [1975]
really funny and great ending
