Dude winter light is one of the most depressing movies i've ever seen

>>48927500
>muh tarvosky

>>48926899
If you're megapleb start with Bergman, Bresson, and Kieslowski. Bergman is perfect for beginning to appreciate cinema. He has very simple and eloquent cinema language that evolves into a nice depth.

I'd start with Wild Strawberries, The Seventh Seal, and Persona. Then if you appreciate these you must watch Cries and Whispers, Winter Light, and Fanny and Alexander.

Start wherever you want really. Find a director that sounds interesting to you and if you like him watch whatever in his filmography is acclaimed. Work your way into an understanding of cinema and make your way to Tarkovsky. He's sort of the shifting point between simple and complex plotless cinema.

>>48927197
>>48927202
>>48927299
>>48927315
Especially that last one is a good one because it's ripped directly from Tarkovsky's top ten list. Sight and Sound is an alright place to look, but it can be boring and lacking of a certain "liveliness"

>>48927627
I wouldn't compare it to Metropolis because Aelita is not from the same genre.
>>48927671
Both are good

>>48927500
Soviet films were mentioned >>48927197
and >>48927299

1. The General
2. Metropolis
3. Passion of Joan of Arc
4. 2001: A Space Odyssey
5. Sans Soleil
6. Harakiri
7. Tokyo Story
8. Seven Samurai
9. Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant
10. La Dolce Vita

My best attempt at things off the top of my head that will be a) better than what you're probably watching, b) well-known enough that they are worth watching first, and c) approachable.

What's so great about Citizen Kane nowadays? Is it really worth watching now that many it's innovative filmmaking techniques have been adopted?

>>48927717
>Is it really worth watching now that many it's innovative filmmaking techniques have been adopted?
Absolutely

>>48927686
my bad
still no south american films

>>48927714

Really? They are pretty accessible if you get a nice BD rip. Metropolis is a little long, but they aren't hard to watch.

>>48927652
Pleb

Stick to tv shows

>>48927717
It's quite honestly a fun movie with great cinematography and acting. Watch it

It's not as boring as something like Strangers On A train.

>>48927717
yes

>>48927743
What was the right answer? Autism was my guess as well but I didn't post.

>>48927717

It's worth watching, yes. But bear in mind that even when it was at the top of Sight and Sound polls, it only appeared on like 15% of the lists, so it's not like it's the unanimous greatest film ever made.

>>48927717
charles foster kane is legitimately an interesting character

Just work your way through the TSPDT top 1000.

I'd personally recommend:

The General
Nosferatu
Citizen Kane
Vertigo
Ugetsu
The Rules of the Game
Bicycle Thieves
Seven Samurai
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Breathless

Those arent the best, but that's a good variety of different genres from different periods from different countries.

what is anything made by leone doing in that list? please

>>48928174
Federico Blume, Armando Robles Godoy, Luis Figeroa, Ramón Pereda, Gabriel García Moreno... If you see any film made by these guys you can claim to be the ultimate patrician.

Keep in my mind that you might not find all films from these directors on the internet.

>>48928241
Not many people will be able to fulfill your request because 50%-75% of good cyberpunk movies are east-asia (Japan, Korea) produced, and never brought to USA, so they'd have to know multiple languages.

Drive is about a pawn store heist gone wrong.

What's the problem? I mean, yeah they're about different things too, but the revolve around heists.
