ITT: films that are touted as The Greatest of All Time but are actually just horseshit
Should have watched La Grande Illusion instead
Literally never heard of it, what's the English title.
The Regicide of the israelite
Journey to Italy
Il Sorpasso
The Searchers
Il Sorpasso is fun but I don't think it's regarded as one of the goats. The Searchers is good but it gets overemphasized out of a lot of other equally-good Ford movies that don't get nearly the same level of attention despite being pretty much just as worthy of it. Never watched Journey to Italy.
Stalker is fun to watch and Vertigo can at a certain level be seen as a conventional thriller flick. And Persona is wankable.
Couldn't get into Vertigo, though ironically I really like De Palma's Body Double, which is pretty much an R-rated remake of Vertigo (along with Rear Window)
Body Double is Rear Window and Vertigo combined, Dressed to Kill is Psycho
Persona and Stalker are contemplative and abstract and rely on the viewer using their imagination to hypothesise about what's going on. Its not the film's fault you can't do that. Vertigo is alright, not Hitchwiener's best but not bad either.
I like all 3 of these and I usually dislike art films
Frenchshit is always rated highly for some reason, but most of it is actually really bad. I think it's just a residual effect of them being most willing to show breasts in their movies in the 70s when porn wasn't readily available.
I was shocked when I saw breasts in a 1961 French joint, it was even joked about in the smug meta sense: the main character said "In movies, it is different" and covered the breasts with a sheet. What shocked me was the protoreddit sensibility, the movie's awareness of its own form.
Title?
correction, 1960 movie, Shoot the Piano Player
At what timestamp can I find booba
somewhere closer to the beginning, at 10, 20 minutes
That film about a girl and her donkey by a very acclaimed French director Robert Bresson.
Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, and every classic Hollywood movie
any Kurosawa film
2001
The Searchers
The Seventh Seal
The Godfather Part 2 (Part 1 is SIGNIFICANTLY better)
Stalker
Battleship Potemkin
motherfricking any Star Wars film
>b-but muh Empire Strikes Back is good!
No it's not, it's dosghit slop like all the rest of it, it might be the single most overrated film I have ever seen. It's genuinely really bad and I'm baffled by just how many people consider it a masterpiece.
Gladiator
>The Godfather Part 2 (Part 1 is SIGNIFICANTLY better)
the book is way better
Kurosawa blew my mind as a teenager. Sadly you're too dumb for him as an adult.
Oh yeah I'm too dumb for a series of dull fricking spaghetti westerns. You're totally not a moron homosexual who pretends to like Kurosawa because everyone says he's the goat.
>Oh yeah I'm too dumb for a series of dull fricking spaghetti westerns
1 (one) of his movies got turned into a spaghetti western, dimwit.
>missing what I said entirely
Surprise, the Kurosawa fanboy is a braindead pseud. You only like Kurosawa because of:
>Movie
>Movie, Japan
For me, it's Drunken Angel (1948)
a number of his non-samuraishit are better just none that hold a candle to kagemusha and ran
>motherfricking any Star Wars film
>>b-but muh Empire Strikes Back is good!
Indian-like posting detected. Whats it like not having any Faustian spirit?
What's it like being an old balding low-t homosexual who worships the worst sci fi slop in the world?
Lowest IQ thread on this board in a while, it sounds look Beavis and Butthead talking to each other
Nice typo Satan
Blame the "autocorrect"
Le Samourai
Breathless
La Dolce Vita
Awful movies, except le Samourai which is just 6/10.
>Awful movies, except le Samourai which is just 6/10.
Highly agreed
Stop mocking our kino
This is only so highly-regarded because critics agreed upon its technical quality and camera shit. The actual movie itself is mindnumbing plotless drivel of rich homosexuals ambling around and doing nothing of particular interest.
I watched this movie when I was trying to watch all the “greatest movies of all time”, I don’t remember anything about.
I agree I found this film incredibly dull. That being said La Grande Illusion is legit one of the greatest films of all time. I went to see it in the cinema twice and I couldn't believe it isn't rated higher than this.
Umberto D
Ikiru
Bicycle Thieves
Casablanca
Pretty much any of the Sight and Sounds back in the day has aged horribly. Like 1952's list for example. Nobody would watch any of these movies today
