Watch Fail-Safe

Alright, thank you.

Harold and Maude

the man from earth

really good movie too

Reservoir Dogs

Usual Suspects

Don't watch this. Ever.

It is an OBJECTIVELY bad movie. The execution of basically every single filmmaking element is atrocious besides the intriguing backstory.

Glengarry Glen Ross

the end of the tour

Sunset Limited

it's a movie that is 100% conversation, why would you care about visuals? the story is what counts

Shin godzilla. Not even joking

Pontypool.

Pontypool is great

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf

Mindwalk.

It's not just visuals, it's literally every single filmmaking element.
Here's a pasta which I agree with 100%:

The Man from Earth is the ultimate pleb detector.

It's for people who feel "smart" after watching it without realising how fucking atrocious it is.
It's like a bad cheesy B movie from the 90s. The only redeeming factor is the intriguing backstory, literally every other film element is utter dogshit.

From the mexican telenovela like acting, generic stock soundtrack, no character development, no actual dialogue just a long exposition Q&A throughout, constant boring back to back camerawork, no use of the one room, no creative lighting, a side love story pulled out of the ass, most cliche character traits, literally everything. I had to look up twice that it actually was from 2007, not early 90s.
This shit shouldn't even be a movie, it should be a book or a play. Or given to some other director because Richard Schenkman doesn't even know what a director is.
Just look at any other movie in his profile, everything is a meme (pic related)

And don't tell me they had no budget, 200 000$ is not small budget for this kind of movie. There are far superior movies with half the budget of that.

This movie has no artistic value whatsoever. It is just an excuse to make money from the script.
You will never see a renowned director admire this movie because there is nothing to admire except the concept.

Just try to compare this movie to let's say 12 Angry Men, both set in one room. The difference is almost laughable.

the color wheel was pretty sweet

Yet still many who watch it end up enjoying it and it's no blockbuster. It has a certain spirit to it, even if in technical film terms it's garbage.

Rohmer films

Sunset Limited

the man from earth
pontypool
carnage
it's a disaster

The Method

Carnage.


Man from Earth is pretty good.
