What do I make my friend watch to get him to understand film as art instead of entertaining flicks.
He didn't even like simple stuff like Taxi Driver and Drive

Let me guess, he thinks Inception is a deep film.

Blade Runner 2049, actually good unlike drive and taxi driver

He's a normie. Show him the entire resident evil series and he'd argue they're not bad.

This guy's films.

Tarkovsky

You're going to have to Kubrick him.
Barry Lyndon. Stand well back and hope for the best.

how are those two art? explain to me like you are explaining to your friend.

Try Goodfellas? Everyone likes Goodfellas

Wouldn't it be better to start off with FMJ or something, he doesn't like The Shining either
Barry Lyndon seems like the deep end

They were made as artistic pursuits rather than to appeal to mass audience and make a lot of money, simplest way to put it without going into the "what is art???" bullshit.
Taxi Driver could have easily been another 70's porno-chique flick if Scorsese wanted it to be.

sounds like there's no cure

better forget him, not everyone can appreciate film, some "men" would rather watch anime and play "vidya"

He thought the first Blade Runner was bad and didn't pick up on the aesthetic qualities it had, I highly doubt he'll enjoy 2049.

what movies does this guy even like?

Give up. I showed a friend robo cop a while back, he didn't like it. Pretty much stopped talking to him now.

Typical normalfag stuff like capeshit and Hollywood comedies
He just calls me pretentious when I say I don't like that stuff
I wanted to at least try to de-plebify him

sounds like your friend is more of a girlfriend

Robocop is a shit meme flick though.

Just dont bother or think of movies that are entertaining but not drawn out or something. Cant force normies to like the masterpieces of film. Maybe try compromising with something: LA Confidential, Tarentino, the prestige, borat
