Seen like 6 Chaplin films and I might be in the minority, but I'm not really a huge fan. Lum posted... No particular order: Yasujiro Ozu Satyajit Ray Luis Bunuel Stanley Kubrick Ingmar Bergman Spike Jonze Coen Brothers David Lynch Francois Truffaut Akira Kurosawa The 400 Blows is an amazing film. I've seen Jules and Jim and Shoot the Piano Player too which are pretty good. Blue Velvet is my favorite lynch easily. Elephant man is decent, Mulholland Dr and Eraserhead are both very good. Bergman is fantastic. Favorites got to be Fanny and Alexander. But I also love Wild Strawberries, Scenes from a Marriage and Seventh Seal. Also seen Persona, Cries and Whispers, and The Virgin Spring. I own the Apu trilogy, but have yet to see it. Seen Belle De Jour, Viridiana, Un Chien Andalou, and The Exterminating Angel by Bunuel. Spike Jonze. Being John Malkovich is fantastic, Adaptation is very good, Wild Things is extremely underrated. Still haven't seen Her. In one of my lowest moments I went with some friends to see Her really hungover and ending up leaving after 15 minutes and puking in the theater bathroom :/ --- "Conceit, arrogance and egotism are the essentials of patriotism"- Emma Goldman "Wimmy Wham Wham Wozzle!" -Slurms MacKenzie <cite>Paper_Okami posted [p:883788491] in CE 10 favo...

In fact. several of the directors I mentioned had unkind things to say about him. His movies are quite boring. Yeah I know, Bergman and Welles hated him. Also Welles Citizen Kane is of course a Masterpiece. Touch of Evil is great. Othello was good. Haven't seen anything else CelestialVoices posted... werner herzog paul thomas anderson Aguirre is a 10/10 fucking amazing masterpiece. Fitzcarraldo was good, but felt too much like an inferior retread of Aguirre imo. Need to see more of his work. PTA is fantastic. Have seen everything from Boogie Nights to There Will Be Blood. All 4 of those films are great. CelestialVoices posted... jim jarmush, lars von trier, kubrick, 70s coppola, sergio leone, bresson, tarkovsky, aki kaurismaki, aronofsky, coen bros, ozu Only seen Breaking the Waves and Stranger Than Paradise by Von trier/ Jarmusch. Eh. 70s Coppola is a top tier director. Leone... The first 2 MWNN movies are decent. TGTBTU is amazing. Once Upon a time and the West and America are both great films. Pickpocket by Bresson is a great film, also seen Au Hasard Balthazar which was aight. Solaris is one of the greatest films I have ever seen, Stalker is great as well, The Mirror is very good, Andrei Rublev bored the hell out of me. Not a fan of Arnofsky, he's okay I guess. Phantom_Nook posted... Tarantino Spielberg Tarantino is certainly a great director. Pulp Fiction and Basterds are my favs easily. Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, and Django are good too. Spielberg Duel is amazing and underrated Jaws, E.T, Crusade, Minority Report. Great stuff. A.I is good. Raiders is perhaps the most purely entertaining film ever. SPR and SL are good, but I feel overblown and other directors are way better at the serious stuff.

Fuller: Love his work. Shock Corridor, Steel Helmet, White Dog, and Forty Guns are all great. Want to see more, Naked Kiss and Pickup on south street were p good. Mizoguchi: Sansho the Bailiff is my favorite film of all time. Ugetsu is probably top 25. Sisters of Gion and Street of Shame were okay, Life of Oharu was good. Wyler: The Best Years of Our Lives is imo the greatest film to ever win best picture and one of the greatest films of all time. Roman Holliday was enjoyable, Ben Hur is good, but overlong. Suzuki: Unpopular opinion Pistol Opera is a masterpiece. Branded to Kill, Story of a Prostitute, Gate of Flesh, Tokyo Drifter all very good as well. Fighting Elegy, Youth of the Beast, Take Aim for the Police Van Are alright. Lubitsch: Wasn't big on To Be or Not to Be, but I liked Shop Around the Corner quite a bit. Miike: Audition was meh, didn't scare me, didn't do anything else for me. Hawks: Bringing up Baby is one of the funniest movies ever. Also seen His Girl Friday, Scarface, Rio Bravo, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and The Big Sleep. All good.

Wyler: The Best Years of Our Lives is imo the greatest film to ever win best picture and one of the greatest films of all time. Roman Holliday was enjoyable, Ben Hur is good, but overlong. Suzuki: Unpopular opinion Pistol Opera is a masterpiece. Branded to Kill, Story of a Prostitute, Gate of Flesh, Tokyo Drifter all very good as well. Fighting Elegy, Youth of the Beast, Take Aim for the Police Van Are alright. Lubitsch: Wasn't big on To Be or Not to Be, but I liked Shop Around the Corner quite a bit. Miike: Audition was meh, didn't scare me, didn't do anything else for me. Hawks: Bringing up Baby is one of the funniest movies ever. Also seen His Girl Friday, Scarface, Rio Bravo, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and The Big Sleep. All good. Never seen anything by Hu or Di Leo</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
CelestialVoices 07/29/17 2:03:28 AM #30:	god, for herzog I'd honestly recommend just watching literally every non-doc film he did between aguirre and fitzcarraldo. it's an incredible run. i really dig some of his later documentaries too like cave of forgotten dreams, encounters at the end of the world, and happy people: a year in the taiga. also My Best Fiend (about herzog/kinski's relationship) is k e y I really came around on Balthazar after a second viewing. not sure what clicked but suddenly it just made sense. also, while pickpocket was cool, i'd take A Man Escaped over it any day probably I actually feel the same about Tarkovsky. Stalker was the first one I watched and it completely blew me away. Haven't seen Solaris yet but it's next on my tarkovsky watchlist. Andrei Rublev was also disappointing but I feel like it'll be better next time since I'll know more what I'm getting into. Ivan's Childhood was also surprisingly good i've seen most of LVT's, I loved Breaking the Waves, Dogville, Melancholia, and The Boss of It All was hilarious as far as PTA goes i'd also lump The Master in with the rest of those. inherent vice was a bit iffy for me though i was pretty eh towards jarmusch myself after having just seen STP, but I did really enjoy Night on Earth, and then last year I finally watched Dead Man which was incredible and then went back and watched through all but the most recent 2-3 of his films and Permanent Vacation and loved nearly every single one to death --- emo trash http://www.last.fm/user/pinkfloydrulez <cite>CelestialVoices posted [p:883800188] in CE 10 favo...
