gods of egypt was the best comedy i've seen this year

Tarkovsky ain't deep, that doesn't mean his films aren't good.

The Scarlet Empress was brilliant. Very expressionistic set design and the best performance I've seen from Marlene Dietrich. I wish it was an hour longer.

I was slightly disappointed by Floating Weeds, it didn't seem to have as much delicacy and nuance as I've come to expect from Ozu. Still a beautiful color film from our guy

only great shit yesterday.
Hope i enjoy The Last Picture Show today

Who are Lang, Hitchcock, Welles list goes on..

That reminds me of the trailer they showed before stalker

youtu.be/mqrpfjXiR8Q

Good trailer, some good (and memey) quotes in there

>Hitchcock
never got this meme

...

What did Zack Snyder mean with this?

sup

Hopefully you never will, bitchboi

How does this make you feel?

...

Can we talk about how Abel Ferrara is the best American filmmaker of the past 30 years?

like I'm about to watch a film from my all time favorite director and the greatest American director of all time d: ^)

That's from Stagecoach, no?

is this kino

>and the greatest American director of all time
But it's John Ford

ok user, give us your thoughts on John Ford, you obviously want to.

elaborate

& Not quite. Ford is great but the claim of he as 'the greatest american director of all time' is to put it simply, wrong

Who is then?

Trips don't lie. Except when they do.

I bet you are about to say De Palma you fuck

Name one better American director

>inb4 Russell or other IRCmemefaggot answer.

>That's from Stagecoach, no?
Yes

I'm not going to disagree with that. I presumed a larger discussion was going to take place.

I'll see myself out.

From the picture I'm going to guess yes, but what is this?

Rate. What. You. Watch.

It's from Slither

Anyone else seen Nobody Waved Good-bye (1964, Canada)? Nice handheld b&w cinematography.

None of the cool Letterboxd kids rate anymore bro.

I like Bad Lieueuuueuetenant

thats it.

his later work is too meme4me

I do; I give it a heart if I like it

Oh ok. Heard its good but haven't watched, should I?

Yea it's pretty entertaining

If you've seen over 1k films going back to rate them all takes way too much time and there's no real incentive to doing it.

I'm curious as to who people think is the greatest American director of all time if not Ford. Half of Welles' filmography was filmed in Europe, I think of that section of his career as European in the same way as Kubrick is considered a British filmmaker or Hitchcock American. Howard Hawks is a viable candidate but he doesn't have nearly the visual flair and knack for simultaneously capturing the intimate and epic. I'm struggling to think of any filmmaker (let alone an American one) who has a filmography as deep as Ford.

I think they mean, rate *as* you view.

>IRCmemefaggot
get bullied?

Zack Snyder, obviously.

Why?

letterboxd.com/drew1992/

I'm purely trying to clarify the post of another, user. I'll allow them to tell you why they feel you should do that.

PTA is the best american director to walk on earth
deal with it

...

Well David Lynch obviously

does a more divisive film exist?

Chaplin, Malick, Welles( even if you want on America only; hell, even if you take only CK and TMA), Coppola, Scorsese, Spielberg, Hawks. These are just the most obvious names for contending

...

>Chaplin

Might as well say Billy Wilder too if you're going to say Chaplin was an "American" filmmaker.

>Spielberg
>Hawks
>Chaplin
maybe if ure a pleb

Birth of a Nation?

Was Queen of the Desert any good?

but Birth of a Nation is generally considered a great film

Godard is important to American cinema in way that he created shallow pop-shit in the 60s and inspired Americans to start New Hollywood.

OH YEAH

MALICK ISNT LE DIRECTOR

HE MAKES LE POEMS XDDD

I'm a fan of all of those filmmakers, particularly Chaplin, Malick, Welles, and Scorsese, but if we're talking about the DEFINITIVE American filmmaker, someone who captures the evolution and every facet of the American Dream, then Ford is the clear answer for me.

I do agree with you that The Magnificent Ambersons and The Lady from Shanghai are both underrated in Welles' filmography though.

British-born, American filmmaker for the most part. For example, I didn't out Kubrick, because Britain-made films

>le shitpost

And I forgot Hitchcock because reasons. Fuck me

Altman is the best American Director

And he was heavily influenced by American films of the 40s and 50s.

Double Down?

I meant to mention this earlier, but can anyone think of another director who put out at least one masterpiece for five straight decades? That seems pretty unparalleled

Easy name to forget in these discussions. Great director, absolutely. But had quite a quality fall from the end of the 70's to Gosford Park.

letterboxd.com/synt/

Anyone seen Psychomania? Thinking of screening the new BFI restoration of it this September. Need to watch it first though.

How was Stalker?

Billy Wilder would also be my choice.

Somebody could say Dreyer, but I myself would disagree. Kubrick and Bergman almost make it

king of the 70es, definitely one of the greatest american masters

letterboxd.com/irishfilmjunkie/

this is what a letterboxd user looks like, deal with it

>but can anyone think of another director who put out at least one masterpiece for five straight decades?
Can you name one to begin with?

I think someone could mount a convincing argument for Bergman, yeah.

McCarey and Sternberg maybe?

Good taste tho.

>Bound in her favourites

Obviously a raging carpet muncher.

who wants one? :^)

Nah I'm good. I already have an account.

films of Ford's I've seen that I would consider a masterpiece--

>The Iron Horse (1924)
>Stagecoach (1939)
>The Grapes of Wrath (1940)
>How Green Was My Valley (1941)
>My Darling Clementine (1946)
>The Sun Shines Bright (1953)
>The Long Gray Line (1955)
>The Searchers (1956)
>The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)

I haven't seen enough from either of those filmmakers to argue in their favor but I'd welcome someone to try

i have a tehc account, want to chat?

But the 40's have none

I guess it's safe to say you can't judge Ford objectively since you go full fangay on him.

???
not him, but most of those are certified classics

Classic ain't masterpiece

Haven't seen Psychomania, sounds neat though, I'll probably watch when it comes online. Why don't you just screen without watching, go wild

And re: stalker archive.4plebs.org/tv/thread/70834542/#70837609

Implying you know what you are talking about.

All of those are great films.

>I haven't seen some of these films so I will resort to name calling in lieu of a refutation

we were having such a decent discussion as well

Luis Buñuel (6 decades)

Great film isn't a masterpiece

Neither are your posts.

so a film can be both "great" and a "classic" but there's absolutely no credible way someone can argue it's also a masterpiece? Intelligent post.

Classic isn't a masterpiece, a great film isn't a masterpiece, a masterpiece is a masterpiece.
