Russia also brought us

...

>Japan
I'd go with Italy actually

never seen any italian movies actually got any recommendations?

>Russia
HAHAHA

Tarkovsky is such an overrated pile of shit.

Jan Švankmajer wasn't Russian, though.

I think Sweden had some popular movies back in the day.

the most famous spaghetti western were based on akira's movies

South Korea and China

>No France
So edgy.

Eisenstein was a hack.

Kurasawa was a hack.

The only true directors are American (and I guess French if you like faggoty "art" films).

>aside from USA
>aside from USA

US cinematography is trash

I'd go with

Russia > Japan > Sweden

you're just too stupid to understand it

America is the cancer of film

everything USA touches turns to shit

You're just too young to remember the good ol' days when whichever American blockbuster recently came out practically defined our culture for the remaining year.

American movies went into decline in the early 00's and by 2007 they were forever ruined by greedy studios churning out passable inoffensive fast food instead of an intimate team of filmmakers trying to create a new dish.

Italy

Runners up: France, Spain

werent blockbusters always what you mentioned, mass produced and to cater to the masses
not that there werent any good movies past 2000 but i agree that mainstream cinema has gone to shit, 100th superhero movie of the year can release and every one will eat it up

>American cinematography is exclusively capeshit and Michael Bay
Kys Papodopolous

argentina had some decent films I liked.

>France
Used to be top tier, they're mediocre now.
>Spain
We made a lot of good movies but our industry is a lot smaller and irrelevant when you compare it to any actually serious contender.

Russia, Yes
Japan, No. They mostly produce high school trash

see: the golden age of hollywood

US movies were shit in the 80s too

you have to go back to Hitchcock, Orson Welles, and the early Kubrick to find something that's decent

but they were never good

t. IMDB top200

lurk more

I really like Chinese movies.

>kurosawa
>tarkovsky

tipash fedora dodeka postash so pederite od tviter? priznaj

t. someone who can't actually define what a good movie is

ne ali dobri filma se :/

i've always considered russian and french movies to be pleasing to the eye, but utterly pointless and banale contentwise and the scores are rarely any good

older japanese movies are enjoyable. they have essence and the minimalism and all the static shots really bake the noodle. too bad the newer generations produce only garbage.

Do you have any Spanish movies you can recommend?

Go shit up Sup Forums you memeing cunt

>filma :/

filmovi

Sure, what kind of movies are you interested in.

Italy and France, other countries (incuding mine) have outstanding periods and genres but not on the same tier as these two countries.

Anything. I'm trying to improve my Spanish so whatever you think would help with that

>Russia
Ahahhahahahaha
Soviet movies are ok but not Russian. I would say french movies are great

UK or Korea desu

Russia

look up Vozvrashcheniye
God-tier movie

>define what a good movie is

that's easy: immersive cinematography

next

>that's easy: two meaningless words which I can't properly define either

Well Intacto has parts in English and it's also a pretty simple and straightforward movie, so you can try that. But I don't think our movies are going to be of much help because we tend to use a lot of slang you're probably never going to hear there in America. You better go for Mexican or Argentinian movies.

That's shit.

>Russia
MUH 30 GAZILLION
WE DIN DU NUFFIN
EBIL GERMANS
WE'RE VICTORIOUS

>Japan
MUH SAMURAI
OCTOPUS IN BAGINA
MUH PORNO CARTOONS
PANTSU BAKA

Japan? Japanese movies are largely absolute shit.

Fellini movies, especially Amarcord and 8 1/2.
Spaghetti westerns like "My name is Trinity", "Jango", "Bullet for a general"

Only Kitano and Kurosawa are nice ones, right?

Yep. Kitano is OK.
The only Japanese movie that I actually enjoyed was Harakiri or something like that. Some samurai that had to kill himself. It was pretty good.

The rest is third rate garbage.

i like you

thanks
