Paris, Texas

>>87264089
The Oscar winning Crash

>>87264605
Good answer. I'd go with Godard (dealer's choice) myself. But then I just don't like the guy.

i've never seen it but probably upstream color

>>87264089
Probably something Dysney, maybe Brave.
You got to take into account that while an adult movie could be pretentious, a kid's pretentious movie is far more "THIS IS THE RIGHT OPINION" disguised as something else, and time lasting, the very things pretentiousness honors.

The Dark Knight Rises

calling things "pretentious" is such lazy criticism, but it's no surprise it's so common in a society obsessed with making everything as lowest common denominator and cloyingly accessible and inclusive as possible.

Anything by David Lynch.

>>87265995
the flowchart will help you understand the time travel though, and likely you think it is shit because 'it doesn't make sense' or 'it is too jumbled'. If your complaints are with the acting or cinematography then you can give the budget a glance and see the film as more of a character piece about two regular dudes trying to understand how time travel works.

>>87264089

Fair enough, I've only ever actually watched Enter the Void and just assumed everything else was just as bad.
Good news because Irreversible and I Stand Alone both sounded interesting to me (but then I watched Enter the Void first)

Boyhood. Ignoring all RLM memes about it in entirely, it relied on its gimmick and pretty much did nothing else. Just a boring movie that thinks it's a lot more than it is because it took a long time to make.

>>87266973

>>87267090
I know that but it's done in a convoluted way. The sci-fi moments in the film seems useless and add to nothing. Like the scene were Nemo and Anna met in space.

Also, I couldn't get past how the sequence between young Anna and Nemo is rip-off of from lovers of the arctic circle.

>>87264605
Anyone wanna try to explain why? Pathetic answer.

>>87266800
The fact that Irreversible is edited backwards makes it shit though.
The entire second half of the film is completely pointless.

only god forgives

>>87267410
it's not sci-fi you hayseed, it's the future, when he's much older. i haven't seen the arctic circle. anyway it's not convoluted, you're just dumb, i've decided. it's just mean to be an entertaining story and you want to shit on it because it's "too complicated". why are they in space?! there's no reason to go to space! gas yourself.

I'd argue that the opinion that Frances Ha is not a pretentious movie is a cancerous opinion. Go away you hipster trash.

Frances Ha takes the shitcake.

>>87269429
But the movie was mocking this

>>87266955
Primer was the exact opposite of pretentious though, it never talked down the audience and clearly explained how everything worked. It was complex and used a bunch of scientific language but it was never obscurantist or haughty.

boyhood

500 days of summer. It's the very definition of pretentiousness, I hate that hipster shit.

Isn't pretension when something has a very ambitious goal but fails to fully realize it, that being said a lot of the movies listed are not that and this thread I filled with capeshit redditors

>My Dinner with Andre

I totally disagree with that. The movie's pretentiousness is by design. The Wallace Shawn character is pretty much the audience, at first he looks at Andre with incredulity, "could anyone really be this pretentious". But as you follow along with the conversation you get lulled into it, and in the end actually come away with something meaningful.

I found the movie in my grandmother's VHS collection when I was 12 and went into it totally cold not know what the hell it was. I actually cried at the end it had such a big impact on me.

>>87264089
Cloud Atlas

>>87266254
I think people were so impressed by Primer because it showed you could actually make a studio quality movie in your garage with a Best Buy digital camera. First time anyone succeeded at that, to my knowledge.

Anything by Xavier Dolan.

>>87265957

You know Holy Mountain is all a set up for a punchline? The movie is a elaborate joke.

>>87266849
I believe people when they say this is one of those movies you need to "get". Not as in "you're too dumb", but as in some movies just resonate with people. I'm always disappointed when I can't "get" it, I never got that one. Same with Donnie Darko, seemed like trash to me, but people loved it.

Same with Moment. Besides being a ripoff of Clean Slate, it's just a gimmick, because if you watch the scenes in order the movie has nothing worthwhile to offer.

Maybe you needed to have first watched this as a teenager when your receptors are the most open, as Lynch says. I have noticed a lot of classic movies are like that, where I feel so grateful I watched it first when I was 15, because if I had seen it as an adult I wouldn't have gotten the impact of it. A lot of these when I rewatch I'm only able to still get them because I remember what they made me feel as a teenager basically.

I honestly can't complain about this movie. Watts was insanely attractive, the dumpster bum was scary as hell, and the end scene where they get sucked into that crystal or whatever was a visual spectacle. 3 big positives were enough to give me fond memories of this movie.

>>87278144
yeah, I've never been lonely or depressed, I don't feel human emotions. only earthlings can get lost in translations, why the film flopped on vulcan

Mulholland Drive is one of the most expertly crafted films of all time and there is literally nothing pretentious about it, but it's not surprising that faggots reddit/tv/ don't like it since it's not a superhero movie.

i thought it was pretentious the first time i saw it. then i watched it a couple years later and it finally clicked with me, the comparing business cards scene was where it finally fell into place for me.

i think total recall is the only movie to have the "was it all in his head' aspect to it and not come off as pretentious at all. that sort of shit is offputting to people, probably because it's so over used by modern art style directors

>>87279901
Spare me, Lynch is a notorious pussy hound. He picks women like Watts, Amick, Fenn etc for the same reason a dude bro does, they are visual pleasing. Lynch is into visual art, all he cares about is that it looks attractive and triggers an exact emotion in you. If you are reading all sorts of metaphors and narratives in his shit, you are a dummy. basically you are one of those people photographing a half eaten sandwhich someone forgot at the modenr art gallery.

>>87280489
He picked attractive women like Watts and whoever played Rita because they are playing actors and those are the kinds of people who become actors

>>87265158
Yeah that was awful, I know what they tried to do with their theme of patience but it was excruciating to watch. I usually like very slow burn movies, The American for instance I thought was fantastic. TLoC just seemed pointless to make a statement that was not good or interesting.
