I want to watch something gritty and, possibly, underrated. Recommendations?

I like films that have connotations of exploring vast possibilities on American continent + some insight into human condition

There will be Blood
Days of Heaven
Valhalla Rising

Mixed about Aguirre, I just feel like liking Herzog documentary work more.

Didn't like New World even though Malick is probably my favourite filmmaker

any more recommendation (particularly from older cinema)?

Also Joshua Oppenheimer's Look of Silence is probably best thing I ever watched (its a documentary)

The Top 10

1. Wild Strawberries (The best movie of all time.)
2. Ladri di biciclette (Hits you right in the gut.)
3. Breathless (Jump-cuts? Yes, please.)
4. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Pure visual poetry.)
5. The Dark Knight (Yes, it's a popcorn movie. No, I'm not taking it off this list!)
6. Modern Times (Chaplin at his finest. Modern times? More like Timeless.)
7. Aguirre: The Wrath of God (Haunting. Stays with you.)
8. The Shawshank Redemption (We're all in our own personal Shawshanks.)
9. Dazed and Confused (I can watch this over and over.)
10. Citizen Kane (Pretty good.)

meh, would rather watch that than list to Kiarostami bloviate for more than a hour about his infantile theories of film (10 on ten). Oh wow another jump cut! Great work on subverting the conventions of film, Godard. Shit and more shit. I will take real directors like Panahi or Truffaut, or even hacks like Bay, over frauds like Kiarostami or Godard.

I can tell the same about Gordard but what's wrong with Kiarostami? Most of his films I've watched are quite enjoyable
>>
>>7524555
but he is nothing like either of them..? I do like McTiernan a lot, Die Hard is still amazing.
>tfw Christopher McQuarrie will surpass McTiernan as an overall action director very soon.

I wish McTiernan would pull a George Miller and make one final bang, like Fury Road. Too bad what happened with John's life, we got robbed of plenty of good action.

I hope there will be a fury road in him left, Miller came out of nowhere (at least for me) with that masterpiece. He was pretty humanistic director from what I remember, wonder if jail made it even stronger in him or if he broke in there.

Now we just have to hope that some producer will still have faith in him.

It's very unique even today, mostly comprised of close-ups. Very expressive. The narrative is mostly just the feelings of the characters (usually Jeanne).
>>
>>7525079
Do you prefer to watch it silent or with sound?
>>
>>7525058
i am not him, and i think it is worth watching because it is an intense emotionally harrowing experience which is unashamedly expressive and over the top and if you get into it can be so beautiful, but you should also make sure to watch bresson's adaptation as well which conversely is simple, understated, and unpretentious, with a steady camera and stripped down performances that end up resonated twice as much for the restraint

it's a neat subject and both approaches work well and i think everyone should see both
>>
>>7525093
Richard Einhorn's Voices of Light was composed for it, works great. Why should you watch silent films silent? Almost none of them were ever shown that way.

>>7525096
I really like Bresson's version as well (as I do almost all of his films, should really rewatch them this year).

You think people who have the time and appreciation to watch 7 hours of Satantango haven't already watched tons of other movies, mainstream or not?

It doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate other kinds of films just because he doesn't mention them as his favorites, you come off as insecure about your own tastes.

hey look i love satantango, and i remember being in that phase where i literally didn't bother with anything that wasn't the heaviest deepest shit ever, but it's important to also learn to appreciate the brilliance of cinema as entertainment and the spectacle and movement and raw emotion it can offer besides 'oh my god existentialism; life is so bad it's raining and love is pointless except for god in a tortuous way'

I'm not him (or you obviously) but I think that anon could probably spend some time reading some early Modern plays like Ibsen or maybe some good Victorian era novels by Trollope, Dickens, Austen, etc. (not the Brontes)

I think that after Joyce and co. (who I love collectively) we got to see a lot of this "art for the sake of art, be a snob or go home" attitude. Even Joyce wasn't like this. Old school "intellectualism" before 1900 was less of this and more of "I know Greek and can recite 1000 lines of Homer. I know Latin and can recite the odes of Horace entirely. I know..." and even the most "intellectual" minds (like AE Housman) wrote unintellectual poetry or novels. Joyce's Ulysses for fuck's sake wasn't written with a pretentious air, even if it comes off as it.

well I'm probably off track at this point in the post, but I'll go back to my point I probably didn't make: even the "great" filmmakers and writers and poets read mostly for enjoyment, read everything they could (except for trash, but even that gives lessons), etc.

kek I bet this post is a disaster but I don't know how to say what I'm thinking. up for you to figure out I guess

You think those films are pretentious and can't be watched for entertainment? Go back to your books. (or did I completely misunderstand you)
>>
>>7525232
i'm the first critical guy, not the guy you're replying to, and i have literally enjoyed every one of those films apart from the man who sleeps which i haven't seen (and it looks neat and i will see it soon)
i'm just saying, don't just watch one kind of film. yes, you can get a glorious fucking aesthetic hit from watching a sincere troubled tarkovsky monk revel in the creation of pure art in the form of a bell cast by a young idealistic artist, or the restrained tedium of a housewive's lightswitch routine gradually dissolving as her psyche does OR WHATEVER but that's not the only thing film offers. it's close minded to concentrate exclusively on esoteric arthouse fare and it speaks of a narrow taste that is best exploded
>>
>>7525232
>(or did I completely misunderstand you)

you did but that's my fault and not yours

I still don't know how to bring across what I mean and at this point it's probably not worth the effort

>>
>>7525246
And I was exactly trying to say that, even if those are his favorite films, surely he has already seen thousands of films that aren't esoteric arthouse, even just to be able to appreciate them. I'm saying that anyone who has watched Satantango (e.g.) surely doesn't just watch one kind of film, it almost already requires for you to be a film buff who doesn't have a narrow taste, to even be able to appreciate this stuff. THOSE ARE JUST HIS FAVORITES, IT DOESN'T REPRESENT EVERYTHING HE WATCHES. Sorry, I'm a bit drunk.

i think i'm mainly just arguing against past me
there was a stage when i was first smitten with these types of film where i decided it was the best thing ever and anything hollywood or fun or colourful was banal fucking shit. i had of course watched lots of other popular films beforehand, but after getting the arthouse bug i decided i had been a fool and taken in by pleb entertainment and that only the best fucking foreign directors were worth watching, the more fucking depressing the plot (or better still, the lack thereof) and expressionistic the visuals the better

now i feel like was a pretentious cunt and i try to persuade what seem like previous incarnations of me to not be such narrow minded pretentious cunts because as it happens i am also very drunk happy new year i'm sorry

Not that guy, but I've seen it over ten times. I consider it to be a great movie. While there are definitely better movies out there, the Social Network's quality is the kind that you don't often find in big budget releases. Fincher's kind of known for being a director who doesn't make deep or artistic movies, but still makes very well made movies.

His movies are great for watching with friends or relatives who aren't as into film as you might be. The stories are very accessible yet compelling, and the technical aspects such as cinematography, lighting, and acting are far above average.

>top tier of vulgar auteurs.
Not that good. Not top tier in anything. Good? If you like that sort of stuff, I guess. Director with his own style? Definitely. All of his later Resident Evil films dance around same ideas and themes with direction progressing in each one (it's a pass for me with Retribution and Afterlife which is better).

Pompeii; I've only seen once but it's a worth a shot. The ending, I really want to watch it again for that.

I like pretty much everything from his first film from 1989 to 1999. To be honest I haven't even watched his stuff from 2000 and onwards, because I know it'll disappoint.

My favorite ones are Sonatine and Hana-bi. He uses the same actors and everything.

I also like the fact that he was a comedian and all of the sudden he came on to the scene with these movies with really heavy themes.

Fun fact: he was riding his motorcycle without a helmet and crashed somewhere in the early 90's which fucked his shit up, so when you see his face twitching around in certain scenes that's all due to actual trauma.

you asked for opinions on a list of things you watched, we could only talk about your consumption. if you see a single film but find multiple simbolic, visual, conceptual levels; then you'd have good taste. anyone can sit in front of a screen for two hours, that says nothing of his taste.

It is what it is. The dude is old now, and I don't think we're going to see a movie like he was making them in that 90's period, from him at least. And maybe it's for the better.

I'd rather not have a Violent Cop 2: Hana-bi Kids Return Again: Sonatine by the Sea: Electric Boogaloo Edition 3.
The movies exist in their own space, and that's cool with me.

Maybe a contemporary director can do something similar someday, or has already done so and I'm simply unaware, but Takeshi should probably just do whatever he wants until he retires.

Both good and if you saw them on TV while house sitting the house your mom lives in with her new husband you'd watch them to the end

Also do you remember in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, there's a long segment of people vomiting upon realizing that some lady has a penis? I saw it somewhere the other day and thought, "shit, people wouldn't fucking do that now." Times change, manng.

Anyway here's a list off the top of my head:
>Primer
I know but it's fun if you take it as it is, rather than trying to map out timelines and shit like an autist

>Jackie Brown
Most underrated Tarantino joint, probably because of black stars if you don't mind me conjecturing

>12 Monkeys
It's fun and good

>The second batman movie
The other two wouldn't have mattered without Heath Ledger

Also Heath Ledger in a lot of shit. They wouldn't have even made "A Knight's Tale" if it wasn't for him being so fucking good in that. I can't believe he's dead and shitty ol' Jake Jill And Hall is still breathing

I feel you have either a much more calmer style in people like Naomi Kawase o something much more depressing in something like Sion Sono's Noriko's Dinner Table. No one does that weird introspection with sudden bursts of comedy that Kitano did.
>>
>>7526179
I felt it was more of the same, maybe I'll give it another chance once I forget more about El Topo and Holly Mountain.

Sunless and The Mirror are such impressive films.

I saw the movie on a torrent site and decided to watch it blind because PSH was in it.

No other film could have prepared me for that

Perfect 10/10:
Barry Lyndon
8 and a half

Play Dirty
Perfume

The Ghost and the Darkness
Interstate 60

Other Worthy Classics:

Just watched two Kim Ki-duk films earlier today, Spring Summer, etc., and 3-Iron. I'd recommend both, if you're into Korean shit but don't want another faggot crime drama. Well, there is crime throughout 3-Iron, but it isn't really the point, in some ways.

Dazed and Confused is my all-time favorite film, which always makes me feel weird because I hear 'normies' quote McConaughey's 'Alright, alright, alright' bit all the time

great taste. no sarcasm, linklater's early work is extraordinary and mostly ignored.
>>
>>7526924
It really captured all the different characters and absurd humour in the book, so it is funny, engaging, with thoroughly astute social critiques in almost every scene -- if you are looking for them. Great rewatch value.
>>
Top 10 in no particular order:

Amelie
Garden State
The Science of Sleep
Eternal Sunshine
(500) Days of Summer
Scott Pilgrim
Lost in Translation
Moonrise Kingdom
The Dark Knight
Pulp Fiction

I was trying to construct the persona of a vapid girl who pretends to have an interest in film, but no girl I've met has ever been capable of listing more than 5 films, so I just threw in those last two. Girls claim to like capeshit, but not Nolan Batman, I don't think, and capeshit girls aren't normally the pseudo-hipster sort - or at least they weren't when I was in uni. Pulp Fiction, I'm sure, no girl has ever seen, or perhaps even heard of.

Dark Knight/Pulp Cinema definitely gave you away. There is nothing for women who like the other movies you posted in them, not even recommendation or appearance points.

Yeah, but Hateful Eight and Django Unchained have a straight up 'kill whitey' theme going and those are both more successful. Jackie Brown is underrated because Elmore Leonard is actually capable of subtlety Tarantino doesn't have and many of his fans can't grasp.

You need to understand that Hiroshima mon Amour is literally a dialogue between a knight of faith and a knight of infinite resignation. The parallels between the characters and those types put forth by Kierkegaard are so strong it's impossible to believe it wasn't intentional. Checkout the Dreyfus lecture about it.

Not anyone you were replying to. I have a soft spot for movies like Die Hard and Terminator etc, but if you were to ask me what films effected me the most profoundly, or what films have stayed with me over the years I'm going to say films by people like Bresson, or Bergman. I still like Die Hard, I still enjoy watching schlock films with friends but I find the highbrow stuff satisfying in a way that the others aren't. You may have fallen into the trap of being pretentious but that is something you have done to yourself and isn't a property of the films.
>>
>>7527186
I haven't read the book, I'd like to believe that they first gave him the mental shock-collar through propaganda alone and it really worked the way it was shown -- that he wasn't acting or seeking atonement when released.

Then they also reversed it the same way to appease the public outrage, proving that the public believes there is no innate good state only what is forced upon us -- even the forcing of choice -- which logically should lead them to want to reverse it back again.
>>
>>7526362
Possibly.

>>7526567
I'm not sure being "mainstream" is really the problem here, you're just young and naive. I probably would have considered many of the same films to be my favorites around 14-15 y/o too.

>no woman has seen or heard of Pulp Fiction

my first few semesters at Uni I was a huge pleb, gave one of my early presentations on Pulp Fiction. When I sat down, the girl next to me said something like "oh, you'll love this!" and pulled one of those Bad Mother Fucker wallets out of her purse. Had a movie conversation in another class, mentioned Pulp Fiction, and everyone in the group agreed with me (many women included).

Face it, Tarantino is pleb and every pleb loves him

Yeah senpai, I feel it's Boyhood's acclaim that drags attention away from his earlier stuff. That, and the fact that most people only knew School of Rock beforehand.

Good man. Oasis is my favorite. I think Secret Sunshine is somewhat arguably as good.
