>>80121858
They actually consider themselves a film buff

>i like action movies

they think Villeneuve is a good director

into the fucking trash

I'll bite.

What the hell is wrong with Full Metal Jacket?

It's not my favourite but it's not a red flag either.

>>80122026
>implying the Prestige and Memento weren't great movies

>>80124704
Nothing is wrong with it. OP's point is that Full Metal Jacket is no where near Kubrick's best

>they think Hitchcock isn't a hack
>they think Birdman is a smart movie
>they think the oscars are worth anything

>likes old movies

not that anon but there's not much to explain there, I mean it's not a dumb film but everything it gives to convey is in your face and pretentious, basically innaritu's style of directing

Mel Gibson is a pleb director. His directing is average at best and his action shots are unwatchable.

truuu

More like their top movie is Rosebud or 2001

Are we talking about Internet film buffs? In my 30 years of life I have only met two other guys interested in movies, the rest are just casuals watching what's hot in the cinema and the odd "classic" (from the 90s or 00s) on tv.

>>80121858

They instantly dismiss Nicolas Cage as a bad actor

>>80122000
Like a sane person? I mean, not liking SW at all makes more sense than liking that shit Lucas layed last decade

Who actually considers FMJ to be a great movie? The opening half is good and is the iconic drill sergeant/training sequence but that's basically it, the rest of the film is nowhere near as strong.

>thinks the first part of FMJ is the best part

>>80132137
Is this bait? Only plebs think that the first half is the good part of FMJ.

>>80129851
>they unironically list Pulp Fiction as their favorite movie
Definitely a top 20 movie lad

Huh, I guess we know now who the plebs are... you fags

It's not as good as Barry Lyndon but I might say it's my 3rd or 4th top Kubrick movie. It's way better then eyes wide shut.

>>80127922
Ed Nortons story goes literally nowhere.

>>80130337
Shit friends.

>>80124704
It might be Kubrick's best known film.
I remember walking through Target once to buy lightbulbs and seeing some shirt in the kids section with an adaptation of the peace-helmet on it.

That's what makes it a redflag, which is fair. It's like claiming Stalker as the best Tarkovsky, or 7 Samurai as the best Kurosawa.

It's thinking popular instead of thinking good.

>>80133014
Excuse me, but there are only so many scenes the eyes and ears can receive in one evening. And 2001 absolutely has too many scenes.

The story is kinda pretentious, but the directing was great imo

>>80135587
Is telling other people "I watch lots of movies" or implying that I watch movies as hobby and not just entrtainment corny, pretentious or something? I am asking because I may have to stop that.

>>80131579
I enjoy Nicolas Cage.
He's arguably a good actor that makes enjoyable meme movies and the occasional kino.

>they think The Deer Hunter is the best Vietnam movie
After all the hype it got, the movie was fairly dissapointing tbqh

>>80137498
Watching fiction is pretentious as fuck my man. Either pick up screenwriting so you can justify wasting your time, or develop a nonfiction habit so you can claim research purposes.

There is nothing worse than engaging in multiple hobbies at an entry or intermediate level. It is by far better to engage in a singular hobby at the enthusiast level.

>>80121858
No films in their top 10 that don't have fights in them.

>>80137805
Name a non-shit movie that was actually about Vietnam.

There's only one.

>thinking the vietnam experience is something that can be conveyed in images, when words can hardly get there, and at best, signal the essence of what was missing

if you've engaged in the Platoon versus Hamburger Hill debate, it's too late for you.

>>80121858
They dismiss Harmony Korine and Panos Cosmatos.

>>80138002
