What's the best movie you've seen

I dont understand how all films bodies intrinsically agreed this was no.1 a few years ago.
Personally don't think its Hitchcock's best

>>85163636
I didn't even know that. It was just an opinion I formed on my own.

>>85163625
4chan is 18+ only

>>85163671
around 2012 BFI just decided its the no.1 best film. Everyone followed suit

"Best" movie is tricky because it's not your favorite movie. As far as being pretty much perfectly done, maybe Shawshank Redemption or the Matrix?

>>85163804
Truman Show trumps them, which is legitimately one of the best movies ever made.

>>85163816
I found it pretty boring but I haven't seen it in a long time, it's a good film though. I remember that I didn't really buy the premise, I didn't think people would approve of the whole setup and be fans of it.

It's an amazing movie if you can look past the fact that the entire situation, and others like it, could be avoided if we ended the destructive War on Drugs.

>>85164809
Yes, I suppose all conflicts can be solved by surrender. Good thinking.

End prohibition; take away that source of income from organized crime. Watch cartels, mafia, gangs, etc. fade to nothing.

>>85164939
but then how can I feel united with opportunistic agencies who care nothing for me against a common enemy?

>>85164939
America's situation is a unique brand of retardation brought about because the CIA actively wanted it. Lots of criminals carrying out all kinds of horrific crimes that can be viewed on Liveleak earn their livelihoods thanks to America's drug laws, but at the same time America's lax approach to drugs is at least partially to blame. The US goes harder than most of the first world on this stuff but that isn't saying much at all, movie stars all do it and mainstream culture is constantly pushing that it's a victimless crime on par with drinking a can of coke. If the US were to end prohibition on drugs they'd fuck over those gangbangers (who most likely won't become garbagemen and teachers with their main source of income cut off) but probably invite a whole new set of just as bad problems. If the US had a responsible cultural attitude towards drugs it could work, but your media has spent years telling people it's all nothing to be afraid of. Do you want to live in a nation of potheads and crack users? Because that's what you'll get. If you post here you probably aren't the type, but plenty more people are. The law really is the only thing keeping a lot of people from fucking up their lives and those of the people around them.

Not even to get started on Britain and Australia, if we were to legalize drugs a handful of chinks and bikers would rely more heavily on their other scams and rackets while our entire populations would turn into toothless crackheads overnight.

Portugal has had a lot of success with its drug legalization program. To think that just because drugs are legal, everyone is going to start using them is not based in reality imo. Most of the people that are going to use drugs already do. However, the government should also make it easy (no red-tape) to open addiction centers so there can be an adequate supply for those that need it.

>>85165153
a nun surprised her and she fuckin died. and the nun didn't even apologise

Rear Window, Psycho and Dial M for Murder are all better.

>>85165224
Portugal had more success controlling drug use when they were a dictatorship.

>>85165324
That's the thing, you can't effectively fight organized crime and illegal drugs in a democratic society where people have rights, a certain degree of privacy, are entitled to due process, etc.

If everyone had patience in this world & people actually paid attention to the whole film without falling asleep, It would be everyone's greatest film ever made. The true monilith of cinema.
No words can describe how masterful this film is. It's more than just a film, it's somthing else entirely. To me, the TRUE meaning of the words "masterpiece" & "experience" is - "2001: A Space Odyssey".
There's more deep meaning and hidden messages in this film than all of Chris Nolan's films combined.
To explain to the Naive and impatient folk. there IS a reason for the 5 minute scenes of (so-called) "nothing".
We spend 10 minutes looking at apes in plain desert, showing us how we developed human behavour for the first time.
THEN....all of a sudden, we're seeing a spaceship & spacestation. Without the 5 minute scenes, The film wouldn't be able to make us appreciate the technology we've managed to create since the "dawn of man".
All those 5 minute scenes of "nothing" are one of the most important aspects of the film.

There is a reason as to why the film plays 5 minutes of music before the film starts.
The song 'requiem' plays whenever a monolith appears on-screen. Stanley uses 'Requiem' to not only create a chilling mood but also give the monolith a voice. 'Requiem' is the monolith's voice speaking to whoever it is facing. By having the music play over the black screen at the beginning of the film Kubrick is actually showing us the first monolith. Doesn’t the black screen go on for a little too long? That was done intentionally by Kubrick. This is the monolith speaking to the audience themselves which suggest that we're about to witness a film so grand and so magnificent that it will open up our eyes to things we've never even thought possible.

>>85166250

Lynch's true masterpiece

>>85166461
Hey since you've never heard of >>85166509 I'll help you out. His name is Robert Bresson and he's a French director who made or adapted films on suffering, suicide, depression, faith, and existentialism. You know, human things? I would suggest you watch some of his films but apparently you only see film as entertainment or a time waster I wouldn't bother. Hope this helps :)

did you ever stop to think that the scene is (successfully) communicating a sense of incomprehension? notice that the mysterious phenomena are reflected in dave's eyes before we take his point of view. He's confused, we're confused, star child, elevated consciousness, etc. *hand wave*
