You can tell a lot about a person by how he reacts to this list.
>no modern movieswhy is this? it's all ancient stuff
>>214799255No idea what "Bicycle Thieves" is, I watched the rest with mixed feelings, pretending they're all masterpieces is just snobbery.
>>214799255More like Tokyo Borey. Nothing happens for three hours.
>>214799437kek
>>214799255I feel disgust.
>>214799255As always, Japshit is criminally overrated. Japanese "cinema" is overrated. Japanese food is overrated. Japanese literature is overrated. And anime is not only overrated, but also the worst thing humanity has ever created.
>>214799410It's about a man and his son. Someone steals his bicycle. Or maybe it's his son's bicycle? I also think he or his son need it for work to support themselves, like they're delivery boys? Anyway, they spend the whole movie trying to find the thief/get the bike back. At the end He resorts to try stealing another someone else's bike and it seems like the whole city comes out, literally dozens of people running down the street to stop him before he can even get on the bike. Which really pissed me off, because where were all these bicycle heroes when HIS bike was stolen The American version from the 80s was better.
>>214799255Taxi Driver aint that good
>>214799524
What if I've never seen any of these?
>>214799551What is Tokyo Story about?
>>214799587t. pic related
>vertigonot even hitcock's best
>>214799676which?
>>214799255>People on here call me entry level when these movies are featured in my top lists
>>214799255>Ozu uses simple, restrained storytelling to expose how modernization, ambition, and the pursuit of individual lives erode traditional family bonds. It's not melodramatic, it's devastating in its ordinariness. The message isn't just about Japanese families in the postwar era, but about universal "truths" in the Kalaha Yuga: parents age, children drift away, and love is often recognized too late
>>214799556If you're a woman, perhaps.
>>214799255pure wank
>>214799611Old people visiting their adult children. The children now have their own families and act like assholes. The only nice one is Setsuko Hara who is the wife of their MIA son.
>Tokyo StoryIntellectual counterfeit. I’d rather watch Police Story or Toy Story or even A Christmas Story.
>>214799363Because that's what the boomer directors voting saw when they were at the right age. Looking at some of the votes it's clear that some of them haven't seen a new movie in 50 years.
>>214799853For me, it's The Straight Story
>>214799255>Tokyo Storyhaven't seen it but Late Spring is a masterpiece>2001It's great, not my favorite Kubrick though.>Citizen KaneOK>8 1/2Good film, but not the best by Fellini imo.>Taxi DriverIconic but it doesn't have what it takes to be in the top 5.>Apocalypse Now>The GodfatherDid Coppola rig this poll?>VertigoOK>MirrorA masterpiece, this one is truly deserving its spot.>Bicycle ThievesAnother great film, but honestly, I doubt it can be in the top 10 in the year 2012...
I've only seen The Godfather and Apocalypse Now.I'm a pleb, but The Godfather is probably my favorite go-to "comfort" movie. I just love it.
>>214799255>Taxi Driver instead of Raging Bulla lot of these are the directors second best films except for Citizen Kane
>>214799255>8 1/2 This is some kind of inner joke among directors?>You should watch it, it's a film about filmography and making a movie"Simping on main actress, dreaming about previous actresses, doing nothing and in the end dancing on broken props for movie"
>>214799953What are some good Fellini picks? I've only seen 8 1/2
>>214799991Watch Taxi Driver. It's American, shot on color. Prob the most accessible one from that list.
Still haven't seen some of these, but I'm working on it. In the new poll I think 2001 got the first spot.
>>214800070Fellini is one of the top 10 directors, very easily, but 8 1/2 is very much through the lens of a filmmaker's dream, it's like Las Meninas by Velasquez, painters like it because it romanticises painting, La Dolce Vita, La Strada, I Vitelloni are all knock outs though.
>>214800089John van Maris
>>214800119the sight and sound put Jeanne Dielmann on the top of the list as a diversity hire, Schrader called them out on it, the one closer to the mid 00s is much better, plus it's like 90% ""critics""" and 10% directors now, and 9% of those directors are like Netflix slop people.
>>214799721NTA, I like Vertigo more than Psycho buy I think Rebecca is the better one. Third act is so so but the first two are perfect.
>>214800201The critics list and the directors list are different, zoomzoom.
>>214799255Muuuagggh the french... would have voted for citizen kane
>>214800201There were two polls, directors and critics. Directors:2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968)Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941)The Godfather (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972)Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (Chantal Akerman, 1975)Tokyo Story (Ozu Yasujiro, 1953)Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958)8½ (Federico Fellini, 1963)Mirror (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1975)Close-up (Abbas Kiarostami, 1989)In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar Wai, 2000)Persona (Ingmar Bergman, 1966)
>>214800089I've only seen La Dolce Vita but I recommend it.
>>214800272Do her sideburns go all the way down to her jawline?
>>214799255This explains why those directors are unable to make good movies.
>>214800223not by much, they remade the poll and most of the directors' opinions which actually matter were replaced by essentially amateurs>>214800271they make new Sight and Sound polls anon, OPs image is old.
>>214800089His earlier works are mostly good to great. I Vitelloni is in my opinion when his style truly begins. La Strada, Il Bidone and Nights of Cabiria (!) are very worthwile. La Dolce Vita is one of his most celebrated works, and it is indeed great tale about a quest for meaning... The only color film I've watched is Juliet of the Spirits... it's generally thrashed by critics but imo it's worthy of checking out, very ornamental and visually charged, and of course very oneiric as a Fellini kino should be. My major misses are Amarcord, Roma and Satyricon from his later era.
>>214799877It's probably that everything is capeshit now.
The greatest film of the last 100 years is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This should have the reputation that Citizen Kane does, and even came out two years before it (1937 vs 1941)If it's not Snow White, then what can it possibly be? Snow White does so many things at once.>invents a new artform and perfects it at the same time>mass entertainment and commercial success>critically acclaimedI am probably the only actual film historian on /film/ (I have done several audio commentaries including on early Gaumont releases). The live action canon gravely underrates the history of animation and believes it to be a subset of cinema, hence, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs lack of presence on Sight & Sound.You would be gravely mistaken if you believe animation is for babies. Even a film like Who Frames Roger Rabbit (this would land in my top 25) is more important than films like Citizen Kane and The Godfather. Then there is Vertigo and 2001, films that are only important due to the John Whitney and Douglas Trumbull special effects, but then even Silent Running is more important in that regard.Sometimes I wonder how Eisenstein would have reacted if he lived to see films like Tron or Nintendo Entertainment System videogames like Metroid, Boy and His Blob and Myst, which present a simulation with free will.
I've only seen Taxi Driver, 2001 and Apocalypse Now
bump
>>214799255>You can tell a lot about a person by how he reacts to this list.I think Netflix should remake Bicycle Thieves with a properly diverse cast.
>>214799255>You can tell a lot about a person by how he reacts to this list.I've seen all of the ones in English. They're all very good films; but none of them would make my top ten.
>>214799255I don’t understand 8 1/2 at all, but I’m obviously missing something.
>boomerslop
>>214799255im going to be honest tokyo story was really really boring to mebut i dont maybe if i spoke native jap, maybe i would have liked it better
>>214804273lil bro forgot to turn on the subtitles
>>214804302rude and frankly unnecessary comment
>>214799255>No Step BrothersPathetic list
>>214800313They go all the way down to Sicily if you know what I mean
>>214799524>t. koreaboo tranny
>>214799255>Bicycle Thieves
>>214799255>no predator>no lethal weapon 2Why are these spineless bitches so afraid of admitting that good old American action films are way better than all of that Euro slop?
>>214799524Okay Paco. Relax and eat a burrito
>>214799410It’s that movie where the pee wee guy gets his bike stolen by the fat guy
>>214799746impossible, everyone on this board tells me ill never be a woman
>>214805839Well, you should at least take comfort that even if you'll never be one you at least think like one.
>>214805948people on this board tell me i'll never think like a woman either
>>214806023You proved them wrong.
>>214799639newfag doesn't know Ken-sama won in the end
>>214799255Who cares what directors think are good? Everything they produce might be shit. Shouldn't the opinions of the people the movies are MADE FOR be the ones that matter?
>>214799255>5 post 50's moviesToo much
>>214799556>>214799746I'm not that well versed in film, but is Taxy Driver really the greatest noir ever?
>No Muppet Treasure IslandFucking posers
I think Directors probably appreciate films in a different way than I would.
>>214799524They hated him because he spoke the truth. I’d rather listen to the ravings of a schizophrenic vagrant than watch anime.
>>214799255>giving a mention to a movie whos director admited to rip-off the plot of an american film, which was actually way better than the rip-offdisgusting plebs
>>214806616Bullshit. Would you consider the musical opinions of a random amateurish musician to be special? Now just because directing films is one of the least accessible crafts, because of socio-economic factors, doesn't means their critical thinking is outstanding.
