Recent films

I've watched Annihilation recently, and thought it was stupid. I don't really care that much about logical mistakes, as long as they allow for a good plot, but the ending was just ridiculously unsatisfying, the characters made out of wood.

The only good scene was the bear attack and I guess parts of the surreal flora and fauna.

If you want to see a good horror movie.

No, stfu. I have watched like over 50 horror movies. Rosemary's baby isn't winning shit here.
No. They were ok choices, especially Texas, but It Follows far surpasses them.

You wot? Alien is the best sci-fi/horror movie ever made, It's because of james cameron that is a meme.
Texas and rosemary baby are both better than it follows because they both aged really well. The gritty and realistic visuals of texas have yet to be surpassed or even achived by any other movie.
Rosemary shits easily on every other horror ever made just for how realistic can be even if it has supernatural motifs in it

If you've never seen it, you absolutely have to see A Cloclwork Orange by Kubrick. It's s a fucking masterpiece and manages to be simple, deep and stylish at the same time.
Also, if you like absurd cinema and want to laugh at the bourguoise a little bit there is The Discrete Charm of the Bourgoisie by Buñuel.
If you want to laugh like an idiot all the time at everything, everything by Monty Python is fine (i suggest Life of Brian or The Meaning of Life).
If you want an action film which is not stupid, there is Fight Club.
If you like cyberpunkz, there is Ghost in the Shell (it's anime but it's good, if you have a prejudice against the media).

I think i put enough films. Probably you don't know a lot of cinema if you're asking for stuff to watch (i have a to-watch list of kilometres), so if that's right avoid The Discrete Charm of the Bourgueoisie because it's a little bit difficult if you're not used to that kind of stuff.

Ok, I'm coming off as an elitist piece of shit in this thread. But no. That movie is shit. Unironically the worst Fincher ever made, yes alien 3 was better.
Like the book, the movie, doesn't work that well when you know the twist. Also it just tries too hard, edgy bullshit.
If you never saw kubrick don't start with clockwork

I'm talking particularly of how much it scares me. In that sense, Alien is pretty mid tier, and Idgaf about James Cameron.
Texas definitely had a considerable level of fear into it, which is why I find it a good choice. It doesn't matter if they aged well, because It Follows will also have aged well in the future.
Following up, I think another movie that would be part of my top 5 horror would be Hannibal.

lol this must by copypasta

I can't argue with that. Fear is subjective, but how well made is a movie is not.
Hannibal? I guess the silence of the lambs is worthy (I wouldn't call it a horror tho) but the sequels all suck hard. The show is better than all the sequels.

...

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was great, near the end I thought they were gonna do the cheap corrupt cop redemption thing but they didn't.

They are both great horrors, the others are reddit as fuck tho and I agree with you

Quality is also subjective, spooky one.
Silence of the Lamb wasn't scary. Hannibal scared the shit out of me, and it still does to this day, therefore Hannibal beats all of your "well written" movies when it comes to horror.

Show us your list, oh enlightened one.

Not true. Quality is not subjective.
Hannibal is an incompetently made movie, silence of the lambs is a great competently made movie

...

Found the ThatAnimeSnob sexslave
Stay spooked. There is no real definition for quality. At best, you can define if a movie is healthy for your average adult male, or if it intellectual, or both, but objective quality is a spook.

Fight Club is not supposed to be an "intellectual" film. It's well made, it's breath-taking and reflects the partial moment of knowledge of their own alienation people grasped during the end of the '90s. If OP doesn't want to watch Tarkovsky but only wants to follow an interesting story without watching absolute shit Figt Club seems to me a pretty good choice.
Also, why A Clockwork Orange shouldn't be someone's first Kubrick's film? It's more enjoyable and not so complex as 2001 space odyssey but at the same time is one of his best films. I cannot think of a better film to start watching Kubrick, maybe Full Metal Jacket but it's a little step lower in quality imho.

your mom is copypasta

i don't understand, OP is asking for films without specifying anything, it's obvious that i reccomend pretty famous stuff. Explain me why should i reccomend some indipendent snuff movie from khazakistan to someone who asked something so generic.

Yeah, they both suck. I'm a cinephile and I can't stand opinions of people on the internet.
I mean even here. There are try hard contrarians, straight up idiots and faux elitist.
My reccomendations for horrors stand as rosemary's baby, alien, texas chainsaw massacre and picknick at hanging rock. This said I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to horror. I also reccomended la dolce vita.

There is such thing as competence, don't give this post modern outlook at everything

Depends on what you are interested in. When it comes to more modern, entertaining productions I've liked those ones for example:

- They Look Like People (2015)
- Contracted (2013)
- Bug (2006)
- Ich seh ich seh (2014)
- Coherence (2013)
- The VVitch (2015)
- My Little Eye (2002)

Yikes
Anyway OP, watch the following:
Probably the best representatives of the Japanese New Wave, and all but the last one are definitely leftykino.

You faggot still didn't explain what's wrong with la dolce vita, Rosemary's baby, texas chainsaw and Picknick at hanging rock

Also tokyo drifter if you want to go Japanese new wave

I don't care about those

This too (though Branded to Kill is Suzuki's masterpiece imo)

It's a different tank poster, you chucklefuck

In the sense that you don't care because they are popular and they are fight club tier in your book? Because that's pretty much as stupid as an opinion can get
Preach

Sorry m8

I don't care as in I'm not objecting to their presence in this thread

Sorry then.

Btw you guys know if there is something similar to topsters2 for movies?

I wish but I don't think so (I'd probably have seen it on /tv/ if there were)

Absolute meme tier kys

Pretty much

Sure thing bud.
Explain me again how the fuck are they meme tier tho and give me some good horrors movies

/tv/ has a surprising fuck ton of Nazbols.

I already recommended you a bunch

I saw your list and already know a bunch of them. I've to see someone explain how texas chainsaw, rosemary's baby and picknick at hanging rock are bad movies or are meme tier.
I could understand alien, because yes it's a cult movie ecc. (which doesn't make it half bad in my book, but I can understand).
That's said uncalled for contrarianism is just fucking retarded. I mean if he's not a try hard he could fucking explain.

In terms of lefty films I haven’t seen many… I liked La Chinoise a lot, I enjoyed Trumbo. If you want my favourite lefty film of all time though, it’s I Am Twenty, you can watch it on YouTube. It’s basically a very realistic depiction of what it was like to be 20 years old in the Soviet Union in the 60’s, sort of existential and incredibly fascinating. An user recommended it to me a year ago and I’m super grateful.

Hannibal is better than all of those movies, as far scary goes.

No, now this is a meme tier opinion.

Prove me wrong, Tyler.

...

How?
Doesn't really stop the movie from being super scary and awesome
Subtle? Silence of the Lambs wasn't scary at all, and Buffalo Bill was a joke. Hannibal was atmospheric and tense, and it had some of the creepiest moments I've ever watched in a movie.
Not boring at all.
While the movie deviates from the book's ending, I think it works fine just as tale of Hannibal's wereafter and how he operates while hiding. It also expands on his past and REALLY shows you why you should fear him.

I enjoyed beyond the black rainbow

...

/tv/ is just capeshit and Star Wars now

Quiet Place was actually a pretty good movie

Oh goody, a film thread. For the user who asked,

youtube.com/watch?v=h-k-tQxJv8o
youtube.com/watch?v=L-sZzYX4Jl4
Just some of the many reasons. It's unironically the Pacific Rim of the capeshit genre. I came in expecting an absolute trainwreck. Instead, I got a movie with solid writing, solid acting (that doesn't rely on overwritten dialogue designed for brain-dead audiences and actors actually spend quite a bit without talking which is fucking revitalising), great cinematography and a fantastic soundtrack. I'm not even familiar with historical art and comic book heroes barely had a presence in my childhood so I had zero emotional attachment and all the easter eggs in those videos just flew over my head until I started "researching". I already enjoy it just from the surface elements.

A lot can and has been said about BvS beyond useless trivia from it's plot structure to it's themes and characters. So much thought and inspiration put into it that it almost seems pointless given the subject matter and how it's been handled lately. The backlash it got is depressing and telling. All people want out of the genre is a momentary "life-affirming" "good vs. evil" spectacle that doesn't even begin to put to question the state of the world. To be fair, the sensiblities presented in BvS is neither as outrageous as Nolan's TDK trilogy (thankfully) nor is it really leftist. However, it's infinitely more human compared to the ones I've seen recently and represents a step in the right direction. A serious take on the genre by people who know what they're doing. It's capekino as far as I'm concerned.

I'd actually say Batman v Superman has quite a few leftist themes. I mean, a major plotpoint is that of an evil capitalist creating an uncontrollabe monster to kill an immigrant. Of course it doesn't get very deep into that stuff, because it's not what it's ultimately about, but I feel like it's the closest thing there is so an explicitly antifascist superhero movie.

Recently I thought Mother and the Hateful Eight were really good. I agree that Annihilation was whatever.

I completely agree, I've even lost count of how many times per week I have to defend this film from brainlets.
Some of these people have taken film theory classes too smfh.

I've watched Raw yesterday and I thought it was cool. It's about a vegan girl who studies veterinary medicine and slowly develops a taste for human flesh after she got fed meat.

Uh, I thought it was bad. It suffered from too many subplots, many things couldn't really be fleshed out because they were cramped in, the whole "Martha" thing was stupid as hell. Maybe it's just because I hate capeshit with a burning passion, it's dumb and reactionary as fuck.

Have you seen the new Spiderman? Villian is literally a class conscious construction worker who tries to give the technology hoarded by a billionaire to the people after he got fired from his job but that's not okay because stealing is baaaaad.

It hurts to find people who appreciate Pacific Rim beyond the action but also entirely miss even the surface-level good that BvS has.

Having been blown away after my first viewing, I was intrigued more than anything. Lex's plan is absolutely the glue. From framing Superman and indirectly kicking off Lois' investigation to feeding Bruce's anger and insecurities to anonymously sending photos of those branded by Batman to Clark and inciting him to start investigating, it's quite fascinating to see it unfold in the director's cut while having the time to connect dots. I think they all tie together well and showcases Lex as a real mastermind.

Understandable. It's cheesy, no doubt, especially for a film with this serious of a tone. I would have personally worded it slightly differently. Have Superman say "kill HER" first and only when Batman asks what he means does he say "save Martha". Regardless, the fact that they pulled this without a hint of cynicism is amazing and another reason to love the movie.

I don't blame you. It's only going downhill from here.

~4/10 of my collection.
Films to watch obscured: Uzumaki, Brotherhood, Children of Men
Seen before: Stalker, Das Boot, The King of Comedy. All in worse quality. GITS SAC 2nd watched a few and lost steam.

Films watched obscured: The Beach of Agnes, Blade runner (below Babylon).
The one's upright aren't worth seeking out.
Velvet- Crap prod values and acting.
Elle- Crass rape story. Acting>>>source material.
White God- Film about dogs +1. Didn't know what type of film it wanted to be
Battles without honour and humanity- Good but too hard to follow the constant betrayals.

Film I'm watching now: Punishment Park by the great blacklisted Peter Watkins. In a Dystopic USA political prisoners can choose decades in jail or race police through desert. The police really got into their roles went too far a few times when shooting. Ask me questions about any of the watched films.

Some cool shorts from Blomkamp. Not explicitly lefty, but still.

Y'know, a lefty-themed movie wouldn't be so far-fetched. Unlike other games of it's kind which focuses on fighting, what is the core concept of Rampage? Destruction of property. Along with the usual corporate shenanigans behind the accidents, I'm sure we can add a few more things to make it lean further left. Here's what I'm thinking: The setting is very much like Robocop's. A city on the verge of being taken over by a mega corporation that's involved in all kinds of things from consumer products to politics and the military-industrial complex.

Of course, such wanton destruction to the point of ignoring fellow people's well being isn't exactly good praxis. So I figure the "story" is less of a representation of a revolution/resistance and instead taps more into the alienation and hopelessness felt by the average person in such a place. Their fears turn into rage as they transform into nigh-mindless monsters which also grants them the power they did not have before in the face of opression. Their rampage serves not only as vengeance but also a sort of therapeutic session as they physically remove the corporation's assets and take on the "security" force which is basically a private army. In that sense, the action set pieces should have a stylish and hypnotic approach to them like what Hotline Miami did with its gameplay.

As far as narrative goes, there's really no need to add more. The politics behind the setting are more of an implicit thing. George, Lizzie and Ralph are typical individuals. They are aimless in life and burdened by financial worries. One day, after particularly bad things already happened, shenanigans mutate them into kaiju. That's it. Like always, minimal dialogue is better for me. They would have little to none when human. For example, George wordlessly goes to work. At some point, he's called into his superior's office. The superior clears his throat. Cut immediately to George cleaning his desk. It's not hard to understand and shows just how little control they have of their lives. When they first roar, it becomes a statement. Their emotions are showcased as kaiju. Imagine a scene similar to the gif but with a giant gorilla atop a building. That would be beautiful. Those kinds of things done sincerely and gracefully I find profound.

I was high off listening to some NiN, reading up on the new Rampage movie and some videos talking about how art breaks capitalism when this idea hit me so please excuse my silliness.

Anybody else noticing how modern movies tend to be extremely lazy in their story conclusion/resolution? Even if a movie starts out with an interesting premise, like A Cure for Wellness for example (that scene in the pub in the Swiss village with the autistic girl was unbelievably good), the writers seem to be content with just building up mysteries but then don't bother properly resolving it. In the latter, the conclusion was to turn the movie into a Disney vampire castle movie, but most of the times, the writers just do a cop-out along the lines of "we will never really know what happened!!". This meme used to be somewhat okay when it came up as a new element in the 80s, leaving it up to the viewer to decide, in a time where properly wrapping up a story in a wholesome way considered the orthodox mode of telling a story, but now EVERYBODY does this shit. One of the last mainstream movie that didn't do this was Interstellar, and even then it was a bit shit arround the lines of "the power of love" and whatever, but hey, at least they put some effort into resolving it.

Another bad example of this would be Annihilation which didn't bother to explain anything except "hurr everything gets mixed up".

Probably a result of rushed production and writers not thinking the story through. It's easy to start something, it's hard to finish it.

Most recent film I remember liking right now. Chan-wook Park does better male created pseudo-feminist lesbo-revenge-torture porn than Tarantino by a mile.
