I'm in a viewing rut and I need a film or filmmaker or niche collection of films to watch. No I will not elaborate further.
>>220449434The Holy Mountain
how about mental illness
>>220449434TV shows but Connections or Too Old to Die Young
>>220449434The Female Prisoner Scorpion series of Japanese exploitation kinos. The first two are masterpieces.
>>220449617Inderdasting, I recently watched a bunch of Kurosawa and 60's Yakuza films.
Brian De Palma made some fun movies
>>220449434get into old Hong Kong Kung Fu films, they fucking rule.
>>220449434Any genre you have hankering for?
>>220449518>Too Old to Die YoungThis or copenhagen cowboy is better?
>>220449739I also recently watched a bunch of Shaw Bros wuxia and late 80's/early 90'd Chow Yun Fat joints.
>>220449434it's time for a Todd Solondz marathon
>>220449746I don't mean wuxia I mean the old hong kong real stunt stuff, like sammo hung films
Sidney Lumet. His filmography is insane always brings a real play/stage director feel to his films. You've probably seen his most notable stuff like 12 Angry Men, The Verdict, Network etc but outside of his most famous ones I'd recommend >The Hill>Fail Safe>The Anderson Tapes >The Offence>Deathtrap
>>220449617Firing this up now.>>220449789Oh I also watched the good Jackie Chan films like Police Story 1 & 2, Project A and Drunken Master.>>220449802Fail Safe was kino, watched it in my Cold War thriller phase.
>>220449961police story 3 is the best one
>>220450050I hated it and turned it off half way. It's just a generic action movie with none of the comfy 80's British HK aesthetic. It was also the beginning of JC sucking Big China Dick like with Drunken Master 2.
>>220450106You didn't get it. The CCP scene shows they're the opposite of Jackie.
>>220449434The passion of joan of ark and harakiri
Consider the films of Gary Burns, kind of like Kevin Smith if he were Canadian and actually good at directing. You probably won't be able to find this one anywhere, but I'd recommend WayDownTown.
>>220450130Every JC film from the 90's onwards fucking sucks.
Shaw bros full catalogueStart with Dirty Ho for a grounded entry or Buddhas Palm for an insaneo style entry
>>220450155>harakiriPeakest of kino
>>220450170Wrong.
>>220450177Got kinda burnt out on them but Cheng Pei Pei is mai waifu
>>220449434John Huston
>>220450185I lived through that era. I saw them when they were released. I go back and try to watch them now and they are garbage.
>>220449802I'm going to watch Murder on the Orient Express because Albert Finney is my nigga.
>>220450194basedThe Man from Hong Kong if you haven't seen it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5whNUVF8zs
>>220450207You were wrong twice about police story 3 so for all I know you were born yesterday.
>>220450220Based i loved his version of Murder on the Orient Express. I'd never read the book or seen the other versions but his was excellent. Great performances all round
