we'll see if you gon keep that energy after watching :yewell:
Put it on while you’re f***ing a b**** and maybe you’ll come around to it
Of all films why would I choose the master
Coens one is bit Wellesian
Coens one is bit Wellesian
they made the dreaded iambic pentameter alot more palatable than Orson
Roman even more so
Unfiltered Shakespeare is alot like listening to a brick wall monologing to my dumb ass
I really don't care for Rashomon that much really 
happy to see it drop a bit on the list
throne of blood, hidden fortress and sanjuro (yes, I put this above yojimbo and I put fistful of dollars over yojimbo, come get these hands if you wanna talk about it)
i like sanjuro more than yojimbo too. sanjuro rocks.
I would wife up Midge from Vertigo in an instant
I like how the movie refuses to give us enough of her
Leaves us wanting more
I know man, I just wanted to make sure I didn't give that impression in general to whoever's reading, I'm more of an 'overcorrect to ensure I'm not misinterpeted later' guy because I hate explaining my words based on misunderstandings
And yeah Birth is horrible, from the second half onwards it feels like outright nazi propaganda, my critical faculties just stop working in the face of how disgusting it is
Interesting take for real, I definitely would rank him highly among silent directors, his best scenes have a real power to the for me, who are some of your fave silent filmmakers? Got into Gance recently and found Napoleon incredible even if the weird romantic comedy section felt out of place, guy was living in the future
top 10 silent filmmakers;
Murnau
Lang
Keaton
Browning
Sjostrom
Sternberg
Stroheim
Lloyd
Dreyer
Dovzhenko
favourite silents;
Holiday (1938) essential NYE viewing
Beale Street better?
To me, definitely. Some of the purest love I’ve seen in a movie
For how heartbreaking the premise is, it’s extremely sweet & imo not as painful as people say.

Hard for me to decide cus I love both but I think moonlight edges it for me
the absolute best macbeth adaptation, I haven't seen the coens' yet though
the swordplay is excellent even with that limited research they had in the 70s
I gave up watching the Coen’s one without subtitles after 30 minutes. Polanski’s one is great
You won’t see them on these lists for another 20-30 years honestly
Most of these filmmakers aren’t going to pick s*** from filmmakers as old as them or younger
I also know a lot of the older filmmakers don’t really respect Tarantino. I remember many of them didn’t like Pulp Fiction because they felt like it was somebody just making a collage out of their work.
come on like parasite being included does not make sense
Disgusting how
because they make some of the best movies from the last two-three decades
I'd legit say Scorsese is our greatest living filmmaker but also wouldn't put any of his movies in my list, he's really really good though
seven samurai is goated but i dont understand why rashomon is the other kurosawa rep on this list. is it just the narrative structure and how groundbreaking it was? He's got a bunch of better movies. I can see Yojimbo and Sanjuro are actiony movies and don't fit but i'd expect high & low, ikiru, throne of blood, dreams over rashomon..
Rashomon is quite singular in it's structure and visual language + the entire set-up is rather intriguing imo and far from generic. + it's just so well executed. Definitely one of the Top Kurosawa films imo.
