is Italy really as good at movies as it seems or did they just get lucky with (a few) spaghetti westerns and poliziotteschi films?
No, but Italian women are hot so it's fine
>>221372736Fair
>>221372712Italian movie industry has been a dystopic mess for decades.All it does is empty cheap shit, mafia related crime shit or artsy fartsy moviesThe stuff you mentioned would never be made nowadays>>221372736>No, but Italian women are hot so it's fineYeah, this
>>221372785Dude, sollima and mainetti put out excellent movies. And we're having a new wave of artsier movies coming out. See the past few years' donatello contendersI think i've seen many more italian/euro flicks than holliwood slop in the past 5 years
The french are better
>>221372914>think i've seen many more italian/euro flicks than holliwood slop in the past 5 yearsThat's not saying much since 99% of modern Hollywood movies are garbage
>>221372712Not any more but from 1970 through the 1990s italy was making superior films to Hollywood. In fact a lot of successful hollyeood movies were remakes of italian films of this precise era
>>221372914>I think i've seen many more italian/euro flicks than holliwood slop in the past 5 yearsThat's not even a bar
>>221372712They should stick to pasta. But nowadays maybe I should say kebab.
>>221372925What timeless film's have the French made?
>>221373772>What timeless film's have the French made?City Hunter
Poliziotesco is my fav genre because the plural has skulls in it.
>>221373854You made a pun about Italian grammar while missing a T from Poliziottesco?
>>221373853The Hong Kong film with Jackie Chan?As good as it was it's not a classic
>>221372712I still think pic related is infinitely better than Citizen Kane or the 400 Blows
>>221374029No the french live action from few years ago
>>221374137Still not a classic. Still not known out side France and a certain type of person...the dollar trilogy and milieu trilogy are both wildly known and are classics
>>221374220>Still not a classic.No shit
>>221374301Then why did you list it as a classic >>221373853?Inb4 classic and timeless aren't the same
>>221372712You have to keep lurking.
