This is a thread for those of us who have been watching cinema seriously for over 5 years and have seen over 1000 films. Don't be offended; some of us have simply moved past imdb-core, capeshit, and the same old indie flicks. Do not derail the thread with trolling or off-topic discussion.

Without further adieu, I wish a warm welcome to my fellow cinephiles. Here are some discussion points to get our thread started:

>What have you been watching recently?

>What is your opinion on the current state of American and world cinema?

I watched Seven Samurai today and I must say, I was blown away. A revolutionary sci-fi and a well-deserved award winner.

watched Batman v Superman again. if Malick directed capekino...

I've been watching since the 1960s and have around 50k movies under my belt! All it has done is made me bitter. Everything seems more amateurish now. Time is a good filter of course and there was lots of shit I waded through in each decade to find gems. I'm just more harsh towards the shit and social propaganda now. Hollywood needs an enema.

The last film I saw that made me sit up and pay attention was "
ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າພາກັນນອນກັບແມ່ຂອງທ່ານ" in original language without subtitles. I don't even speak laotian and even without knowing the language I was still on the edge of my seat. It was shot well enough that everything going on could be inferred even without sound.

Very simple: Kill yourself, aeltbx

wait what?

By The Sea is beautiful.
Being There is a brilliant little film that stuck with me.
Fail Safe and Seven days both must-sees for Strangelove fans
Beatty in Shampoo had me asking myself if my dick moved like George Constanza in Seinfeld, not really but kinda. Light, stylish film.
Another Woman is one of the final Woody films I have left and it's very well done, Rowlands is terrific obviously.
Talk to Her made me wanna get back into Almodovar, he really is a singular, strange, talent.
The Hunt is pretty affecting.
Louie's Scientology movie is funny and the meta/playacting aspects are clever.

No one cares, nerd

I was going to post this.

Also OP, Seven Samurai is extraordinarily overrated and is thoroughly mediocre outside of its historical import. And starting a so-called cinephile thread by saying you are just seeing 7 Samurai for the first time is a quick way to solidify yourself as a megapleb.

>Seven Samurai is extraordinarily overrated and is thoroughly mediocre
stopped reading there

>this new

Kurosawa is entry-level film stuff brah.

Except for Throne of Blood which is a legit masterpiece. And Ikiru is pretty good I suppose.

do you need get like really high to come up with a list like that?

No, in fact you have to spend at least five years stone cold sober, contemplating the most intricate parts of film.

>What have you been watching recently?
hypernormalisation

>What is your opinion on the current state of American and world cinema?
hyper-normalization

what the fuck is with karagarga's art/logo anyway?

Honestly, I've lost the patience to watch arthouse. Only thing that keeps me going these days is some good ol vidya

hey can anyone recommend me some comfy well-made drama, stuff like Short Cuts, the Descendants, just good scripts, themes, nothing action-oriented, character development etc.?

The Ice Storm (Lee, 1997)

High on the autism spectrum, maybe.

Not functional.

gay

Lost in Translation.

I don't know where to go after finishing this.

The Wedding Banquet too.

Ang Lee made some comfy dramas in the 1990s

BRAVO
