No.

Lol, fuck gay forgien films.

i haven't seen a single one of these

Chris Stuckmann's The Film Buff's Bucket List: The 50 Movies of the 2000s to See Before You Die

Seriously?

>no Hitchcock

>the arbor

Literally first title on list and into the trash it goes.

This is a list of dishonest antillectual propaganda from a faux-pseudoacademic liberalist agent provocateur. Stuckmann's list is the TRUE filmbüff list. It is pure kinography.

The Lodger (1927) & The Lady Vanishes (1938) are Hitchcock films pleb. Have you only seen Vertigo and Psycho?

He does know movies existed that
A. Weren't from Hollywood
and
B. Were made before 2000
right?

he does, and he thinks they're all trash for plebs

>English language ciněma
>not a single one of them is completely unpronounceable
>ciněma made in the 21st century
>refers to ciněma as "films"
Extremely plebeian tier list.

>Rashomon
Why are "critics" so obsessed with a film that clearly isn't even in top 10 sudoku kino.

>Capricorn one

really???

>Nosferatu (1979)
What? 1979? Is that a typo?

whoopsie

Werner Herzog's version

too long so heres this instead haha

herzog version

pretentious asstwig with his faggy hairstyle

How interesting. That looks like it could be interesting.

Where the fuck is The Dark Knight on that list?

not one person gives a single flying fuck

1/50

Am I patrician?

Neither have I. They all sound boring as fuck.

>Black Narcissus (1947)
>The Draughtsman’s Contract (1982)
>Céline and Julie Go Boating (1974)

overrated imo; particularly the latter.

after you go through your le quirky art house kid phase and think back on some of these years later they feel far too tedious to ever sit through again.

but maybe that's just me.

poop goblin?

what a pleb

>british critic

absolutely patrician

>all these butthurt film embryos

go back to your disneyshit threads.

2/50 pleb reporting in

Ordet is one of my favorite films, so I'll defo check out some more from this list.

because its the first film (or any media) that showcased subjective flashbacks. Its an incredible piece of innovation.

49/50

jelly?

which one are you missing?

I'm at a paltry 24/50

>Immoral Tales
I see Kermode likes Walerian Borowczyk too

I watched a couple of these already and they were good but he looks like such a fag I think I'll make a point of avoiding any others

name 10 hiroshima kino that are better

>thinks The Exorcist is the best film ever made
Nope, his opinion is immediately invalid.

Out of all Lynch films he picks The Elephant Man?

Who fucking gives a shit? It's an adaption of a short story, and also takes inspiration from another one. Literally anyone who adapted In a Grove for cinema would've had to follow the same format.

>Jacques Rivette's films
>boring

>Who fucking gives a shit?
>Sup Forums's understanding of the development of cinema, presented in 5 words

Where's the source that those are his list of films?

I don't want to add to watchlist for nothing

When the biggest praise people heap on your movie is its narrative, and when you owe this narrative to the literature you're adapting for your movie, then you haven't actually done anything important.
This brings me back to a retarded post I saw on here several years back; an user was applauding Kurosawa's humour because of the rape shenanigans in the movie Rashomon even though the scene he was referring to was a word-for-word adaption of the fucking story you're told the film is based on in the opening sequence.
I don't give a shit about the first guy to make an adaption of In a Grove, nor do I give a shit about the first guy to paint a picture of a fucking cow. In both cases the source material was standin right in the open.

Literally not a single one lol

Nice quads

Capricorn One???!!!
Is this a list of neglected 'gems' rather than 'greatest of all time'? Because even then....

Great Jerry Goldsmith theme, but not really a 'must-see'.

bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/news-bfi/lists/mark-kermode-50-films-every-film-fan-should-watch

You... don't give a shit about millennia of artists trying to recreate what's in front of them? What?

It's a list of recommendations, not a list of 50 best films ever

>greatest of all time
It's not that, it's just a set of movies movie fans should see.

>faux-pseudoacademic

I meant the Will Smith movie you jackass lmao

For the morons :
As the title says, this list is for FILM FANS, meaning those movies are lesser known/underrated movies.
It's not a list of the 50 films someone who's never seen a film should watch before he dies.

I've only heard of two of these movies (Elephant Man and Ordet) and have only seen one; Ordet.

>"lesser known"
>has fucking rashomon in it

pleb list

>Mark Commode

all of these are shit.

The problem is every drooling retard on Sup Forums calls themselves a "film fan".

that's who this list is for though, drooling retards who never stepped out of their comfort zone

>mark kermode

stopped reading there

Distilled pretentiousness.

> See these movies that had no impact at all on the current cultural climate.

>see a list of movies you don't recognise
>get upset because you're insecure
>call the list pretentious
If you weren't a complete fucking pleb you'd bookmark the list and work your way through it.

No Pirates of the Carribean (not even the first one before critics realised it was too popular for them to like anymore).

No Raiders films, not even Last Crusade.

No Back to the Future.

No Omen.

No M

No Rope, Rebecca, Virtigo, rear window, the birds or Psycho, but thats OK, because he has an unremarkable hitchcock (the lady Vanishes) and his first film (the Lodger) from when he wasn't as good as he became with practice.

Fuck you Commode, and the pretentious horse you rode in on.

Also La Vallée is tripe and he only likes it because Pink Floyd wrote the songs. If "A popular band wrote the songs" is all it takes to get on his list where is Highlander and where is Mama Mia on his list?

Are any of these sci-fi?

What is with the Rashomon meme? I get that it's the first film with that kind of structural narrative but Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, and Throne of Blood are all better movies.

How can you be such much of a pleb.

>bullet boy

you don't understand who made this and who this is made for, huh?

...

Every "film fan" has most likely already seen everything you listed, retard.

Capricorn One is

>Bad Timing
terrible fucking movie, same with everything Roeg's ever made

>no Come and See
>no Wages of Fear
>no Ozu film

lame

it's a masterpiece

I'm about to get stuckmanized aren't i

>interesting.

my god, that film made me want to vomit
I still don't understand how it got made

Go back to your Doctor Who general

pirates is one of the worst mainstream film franchises of all time. as bad as transformers, if not worse
