literally 1 good movie

Dishonest Filmmaking
(Tarantino, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Wes Anderson, Christopher Nolan, Alex Garland, Paul Thomas Anderson, Nicholas Refn, Tom Hooper, Tyler Perry, Rian Johnson, Alfonso Cuaron, Noah Baumbach, Andrea Arnold, David Yates, Denis Vilenueve, James Franco, Steve McQueen) are intellectually bankrupt moral whores and charlatans; their films appeal to the modern phenomenon of the 'Pretend Epic' or Pseudo Cinema, often tied to the criticism that "It was a movie that thought it was a film" they have no ideas of their own and are filmed purely to have fancy essays made about them. They obfuscate their lack of insight under a smug impenetrable irony and often contain scenes with disingenuous attempts at depth with characters spouting platitudes that the director takes VERY seriously.
This directly panders to the IMDb reddit sensibility of quote circlejerking since these hacks are masters of the fools wit, "Quipping" (Not to be confused with the marvel co-opting of the word) , it sounds smart, cool and worldly but in reality there's nothing of substance, the Revenant's attempt at spiritualism was cheap and laughable and whilst someone like Malick has considered his philosophy, Inaurritu wears his introspection on his sleeve to give his film a false sense of depth with pathetic sermonising.

THIS is Dishonest Filmmaking.

They leech the greater works that preceded them; like The Enemy being a rip off Eraserhead, but they have nothing else to say.
They act under the guise of deconstruction with surface layer obvious 'social commentary' and a quirky forgettable score praised as 'innovative'. They are all inauthentic sycophants that rely on oscar buzz and post 9/11 detachment for relevance.

These directors are hacks and will be forgotten to time.


Some notably earnest filmmakers include, but are not limited to

>Mike Leigh
>The Coen Brothers
>Werner Herzog
>James Cameron
>Mel Gibson
>Terrence Malick
>Gaspar Noe
>Clint Eastwood

>>84822470

Bergman, Hitchcock, and.. that's it.. are the only great directors on that list. Herzog & Cassavettes are good but it's a stretch to have him as your favorite director. You have so many glaring holes in your list I don't even know where to begin. The vast majority of the list is foreign pretentious art house. This list reads like a Euro babby's first list.

some of these are pushing the boundaries but i wouldn't call any of them even close to obscure

>>84828936
Exactly why your list is shit if you believe that.

Fuck Star Wars could care less about capeshit and if you don't want to acknowledge the glaring omissions in your list then fuck you too.

Okay, so you were just shitposting all along. Glad to clear that up.

>>84829394
Yes they are. They are old foreign directors. Tarkovsky directed Solaris. Cool. Good movie, not classic. Fritz Lang, M. That's a classic. I know this board is overrun with foreigners these days sadly but for me to consider a director my "favorite" he has to be relevant in the US. That's the litmus test.

>>84818465
>No Zack Snyder, the man who is fighting hard to bring cinema sensibilities into holywood blockbusters and thus making FILM itself move forward instead of secluding cinema to just a small group of niche fans

His work reaches beyond his own movies. Cameron is a plebmeister compared to him because he wants to perpetuate the mindless moneymaking blockbusters at the expense of culture itself.

Akira Kurosawa is the only legitimate "foreigner" in your list. Your vision is also very skewed.

There are only a few literal whos towards the end of his list. If you can't recognize 90% of the directors he's listed, you should get off the internet and not come back until you have a real appreciation for film.

The real problem is not the presence of obscure directors but the lack of masters just because they are more well known (Welles, Fellini, Spielberg, etc.)

>>84830525
Those are just hollywood crock made to appeal to the establishment. Jaws and War of the Worlds are his only 10/10 films, and Minority Report is like 9.5/10. Lincoln is also very good, perhaps 8.5 would be a fair score. The rest of his films don't really stack up. Close Encounters is interesting but ultimately not that moving. The Last Crusade is the best indie film

>>84830478
>Jaws, Minority Report, and War of the World are all masterpieces

Jaws is 6/10 at best. Minority Report and War of the World are absolute garbage. At least mention one of his better films like Saving Private Ryan if you're going to pretend he's any good.

>>84830638
Equilibrium is far better than Minority Report. FACT.

I am talking about the international box office. That's great that India makes a ton of movies, but that's not what I'm getting at. Exporting movies on the world market is what matters, as you can see by my citations.

Oh jeez here we go, prepare yourselves. The Godfather is not only considered a classic but there's an argument to be made for the BEST MOVIE EVER MADE. It's like talking to a child.. OP is more concerned with obscurity, not quality.

>>84831467
It doesn't matter what you meant in your head, you literally said the US is where the "vast majority of films are made." Which is factually untrue. Nice job moving the goalposts though, shithead.

>>84831675
But the original post I responded to stated "made", and I corrected that. Hell, you corrected yourself better than I could. I will not say the international box office isn't liderated by the US, that's a lie.

>>84831739
So? Do you know what uneven means?

>>84831663
Fritz Lang, Werner Herzog, Bunuel and a ton of others on that list have uneven as fuck filmographies. A lot of the artistic/experimental directors shit out like 10 films a year in their peak.

Which influence is worse Malick or Haneke on contemporany cinema?

His influence on modern cinema: Shane Carruth, Trey Edward Shults, the odious Innaritu, and a whole swath of indie films, one which I saw recently which partly sparked this musing, from a Quebec filmmaker (that also somehow won a big award at IFFR). These days, as soon as I start seeing cameras panning up and swiveling with some abstract musing in "poetic" voice-over, I just roll my eyes. Voyage of Time is still one of the most vapid films I've seen in a while, and for some reason I watched The Neon Demon and American Honey. With Song to Song being heavily trashed, well...

As for Haneke, I can only bring up Seidl and Markus Schleinzer, both of whom I've seen films from which I absolutely detest. Maybe you can extend his influence to the Greek New Wave, von Trier, or Vinterberg, but that's probably stretching it.

Anyway, everything I type is just word vomit so don't take me seriously.

>>84831804
It's nothing else! You've been the guy that has dragged the conversation to extenuation!

>>84831804
My point is that you were wrong when you said the US makes the vast majority of films. It doesn't even make close to that amount. I don't know why this is so difficult for you to understand.

>>84831880
> the odious Innaritu

I'm not a huge fan of his but I love how he gets under the skin of film snobs.

Birdman was probably an assault on the psyche more profound than a belgian short film you probably haven't heard of.

With the airing of Twin Peaks: The Return has David Lynch cemented himself as one of the objectively greatest of all time?

Not even including him on any top 50 list is intentionally leaving him off for (You)s at this point.

>>84831880
Seems like the mere length of each paragraph responds to your question. Malick confuses poetry with corniness for a long tirade of his filmography.

>>84831947
Inarritu is actually, unironically a hack. Birdman and Revenant were okay but you could tell they were shadow directed by Lubezki. His films before that were all trash.

>>84831990
David Lynch cemented himself as one of the greatest of all time long before some dumb cable show, pleb.

1) Couldn't give less of a shit about Oscars
2) That he made Godfather and Apocalypse Now doesn't exclude him from being mediocre at best in the rest of his posterior career.
3) Never assumed this was a list of "50 best directors", but even then Coppola wouldn't make it. List's fucked though: too much scope for just 50 names.

>>84832497
Don't post Laura Dern at me dude.

>>84832483
Nah Hitchcock is good, though overrated in my opinion. Depends on how you evaluate things.

But obviously OP's list is just for (you)s.

No one that takes film seriously would intentionally leave out objectively good filmmakers just to trigger people.

Scorsese would be another that's well worth appreciating but not on this list. Is he the best? No. But fine to be a favorite in my opinion.

Malick is extremely inconsistent, but TTRL, Days of Heaven, and Tree of Life are all fucking great.

Lynch is a lot of fun too.

Hell no that's way too early. Those films were great but they weren't like Citizen Kane or something (which is the only first movie that instantly cemented a director).

By the time to Mulholland Dr okay maybe he's in the discussion by that point based on the entire body of work.

Inland Empire is his best film btw everyone.

I don't know how much you can attribute that to Phillip K Dick but just by being based on a PKD short story its automatically greater than Equilibrium

I don't get his hype at all. He manages to create great concepts (like Videodrome and Crash) and turn into the most uninspired film possible.

>>84833263
It's a shit film.

The book is actually something thoughtful and fresh. The film is a generic monster thriller.

>>84833340
Except none of those are good, his best movies are Pee Wee and Charlie and the Chocolate factory and those are both maybe 4/10 at best. Super 8 is like 8.8/10 a borderline masterpiece
