The board is unusable. Post the last classic movie you've watched.
>>221970440The Big Heat
The Odyssey. Before that I saw Obsession and The Backrooms. Absolute classics. Pure cinema.
>>221970440Bridge on the River Kwai, i didn't think much of it.
Bandits vs Samurai Squadron. Started out okay then dragged on at the end. Then for some reason they decided to copy Harakiri towards the end. Also I couldn’t sympathize with the team of bandits at all, in fact they had it coming.
Flight Down to Rio (1933). People were very physically attractive back then.
the sicilian clan
Problem Child 2
Sorcerer (1977). Stunning film, all the people working on it hated it and a bunch of them got malaria from living in the jungle while they shot it. Must've been awful for them, but they made a great movie
Marty was fanfuckingtastic and a must watch for all young men out there. My name is trinity and once upon a time in the west proved to me that westerns could be entertaining and I shouldn't pass them over like episodes of bonanza.
Hmm why do that when I could seethe about the new Nolan flick
>>221970440I made a thread about this movie last night around 1. I don't think it got a single fucking reply.Its what I get for honoring the old ways by not samefagging my own thread to keep bumping it up.

Waterloo (1970)Battle scenes were great as expected but If I'm being honest, I actually didn't like the performance of the guy playing Napoleon, I thought he lacked gravitas, charm and was too overdramatic. Much preferred the Wellington performance. The story wasn't told in an engaging way either, clearly just a springboard for the epic battle scenes. I give it 7.5/10.
10/10

I watched chinatown the other dayI was honestly a little disappointed, maybe just filtered…Jack is great though

>>221971713Your constant inability to stick to the topic should've gotten you banned long ago. You're being asked to name one single movie, but of course you always have to magdump your collection and suck the life of every thread until it's only you talking to yourself. Fuck you.
>>221970440shawshank redemption. Finally. 3 years waitlist time. 8/10

Idk what exactly fits a classic, but here's my last 5 "old" movies:Suspense 1913 (7/10)The Human Condition II: Road to Eternity 1959 (6/10)The Battle of Algiers 1966 (7/10)Where Is the Friend’s House? 1987 (9/10)Metropolis 1927 (7/10)
On Her Majesty's Secret Service 1969
>>221972039
Born To Kill (1947)
>>221970440The Conversation
I watched this one last night. I give it a 6/10, worth a watch but I probably won't go back to it.
>>221970440Rush Hour 3
>>221970769TERRIFIC filmBeautiful, sparkling colors and excellent use of the widescreen ratio, terrific directingAlso everyone is at the top of their game in it. Loved it!
The Time Machine (1960)
>>221971703I was also a bit disappointed when I saw itHarakiri was the last I saw, very good
Alphaville. I really hate Goddard and think him as worthless director who's only modern in portraying worthless hipster culture.
>>221970440
>>221970440Some like it hot!
>>221970533Why not? It's excellent. Watched it myself a week or two ago. Ending is great.
Funny Face. It was okay, Audrey dancing in the bohemian cafe was great, but Astaire was way too old to play a romantic lead. I think it was even worse in HD because you could clearly see his elderly, wrinkled face.
I wouldn't say it's a classic, but I recently watched 1975's Race with the Devil.I finished playing Faith: The Unholy Trilogy and have been on a satanist trip, so I found this little gem while exploring the usual watches.It's a really fun mix of horror and car chases. I did find it pretty unsettling too which I wasn't expecting when they're being chased around in an RV.
Samurai Rebellion. Felt like a proto Hara-kiri in a lot of ways. Tows the line between slow burn and just straight up taking too long, but there were some great shots, incredible blocking, and we got to see Nakadai fight Mifune.
>>221971393is it?
>>221971221French movie is also fantastic (wages of fear)
>>221970440I was amazed at shot for shot how much of this movie made it into Dark Souls.
>>221975262forgot my dang FROM SOFT inspiration
>>221970440Most of you fuckers are lying
Christmas Evil
>>221970490Probably my favorite film noir.>>221971221Wages of Fear is better.>>221972039Couple of years back there was a Bond marathon starting with the first Bond movie and finishing with the latest Craig one. And only then did I first realize what garbage those old Bond movies were. B movie shlock.>>221974809I remember watching this one as a kid on Turner Classic Movies after Cartoon Network stopped airing at 10 (11?) PM. Loved it.I think the last classic movie that I watched was Princess Yang Kwei-fei, and I thought it was great. But then again I love everything by Mizoguchi.
The last classic I watched was The Famous Sword Bijomaru (1945). It was Kino.
Though I didn't like it much. So often when I watch these venerated landmark films of the 60s and 70s they just seem like wank - the transgressive elements utterly banal to someone who grew up in the internet age.
>>221975637I agree with you about the transgressive elements not hitting as hard nowadays, but the way he portrays that past as a very alien place is neat.
>>221975347Most of us are old enough that 70s films feel as far removed in time as 90s films for you, zoomzoom.
>>221975208I will watch this again and also harakiri
This was released in 1981, so it was made with the idea that people would see it in the cinema, and then on TV maybe a few years later. The whole pacing and the establishment of the setting is different.
>>221970440I got drunk on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and watched a movie everyday, but for the life of me I can not remember what they were. Last Friday I watched Alien for the 20th time and I'm finally bored of it. The last movie I enjoyed was Smokey and The Bandit.>>221974896My favorite Japanese movie. I'll watch it again this weekend and maybe High and Low.
>>221970504Holy based. Old Hollywood is COOKED
chimes at midnight
>>221970708that's a pretty good one.
>>221971652it's technically great but also a really fun watch. the IMDBer write up said Faibanks dances his way through the movie. not literally, but he's really speaking with his whole body and moving through the scenes fluidly. a type of acting mostly lost after sound.
>>221970440Midnight Express (1978).A little underwhelming but overall pretty ok. Brad Davis is really solid for a debut even though his character is rather bland. There are certainly better prison kinos but it has some flavour to it. Moroder is obviously great.Also, main character calls the Turks a nation of pigs in the courtroom which is based
>>221972143Tarantino's use of the radio during the ear scene seems to be an homage to the beginning of this one, staring Old Joe himself as a young man
Undeniable Kino.
Last movie I watchedI still have not watched Obsession, Backrooms, or Odyssey. I just prefer movies from the better days that exist in a world I actually recognize.
>>221978170based. You can see how it inspired/influenced Nicholas Meyer for Star Trek II (the great OG w/ Ricardo Montalban, not the shitty JJ Abrams abortion). Especially the Mutara Nebula scene
>>221978224Does Carla Gugino show her boobs?
>>221978224starring the son of the guy best known for a massive motorcycle head injury, kek
>>221977690My buddy and I saw it in the theater when it came out. We hadn’t heard of it but it was called “Dragonslayer” and we were into D&D at the time, so. Great flick.
>>221970440I've started working my way through westerns. "The big gundown." Might be the 60s if not 70s
Network (1976) - it's trite to call this movie prescient and say that it's more relevant today than when it came out, but it's absolutely true.God I love this movie.
>>221978328oh wow, Dragonslayer was HBOcore for me growing up.
>>221971393How was it? Have not seen this on lists of westerns.
This movie didn't seem cheesy to me at all unlike Earthquake.
>>221972239very saxy, especially at the end.RIP Gene Hackman. what a way to go, yeesh.
Being There (1979)
>>221978342yup, the panthers stuff with the communist kinda aged but it might become relevant again now that tankies are unironically popular again
The Duellists. Pretty fucking kino.Before that,Paper Moon (1973)Rolling Thunder (1977)Driver (1978)
>>221970440Proper good shit. There is constant tension and a great climax.
>>221978286>Does Carla Gugino show her boobs?no nipple, just luscious sweater puppie cleavage
>>221978522I love The Duelists. I can't believe this was Ridley Scott's first film and he only went on to make, what, 3 other good movies? This is better than what most directors make at the peak of their career and has a great cast and great music.
>>221970504unironcially this. I know /tv/ is all about cope & screech about the Odyssey but for real it's a great movie. As are the A24 ones that just came out.y'all are just a bunch of whiny uncs
i might be getting old but my tiny heart was torn to pieces
>>221975419>And only then did I first realize what garbage those old Bond movies were. B movie shlock.seriously. only a handful are watchable. capeslop of its time, really.
>>221970440Stagecoach
>>221975208i like that the rebellion was actually an office rebellion of sorts since samurais are officers essentially. laws, marriages, family feuding. i really like the slow parts. i like when he starts drinking and says to the girl 'the cats out of the house hehe'. i think of that scene everytime i sip, but i never had cats.
>>221978459BASKETBALL JONESit's a Cheech and Chong parody of a soul songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYWXyWkZDNw
>>221978575Only recently it occurred to me that Dustin Hoffman's character didn't even know his wife was raped
>>221978673this is the most I’ve cried at a film, it really makes you want to call your parents and hang out.
The Lady From Shanghai (1947)
>>221978921Makes the ending more satisfying because you know he's doing it for himself
I watched Brief Encounter (1945). I thought it was alright. It probably would've hit harder if I wasn't a virgin loser.
>>221978644This is my favorite part about the chud cope. I expected Odyssey to be a 6/10. It was the best movie I've seen since covid. It's a terrific movie.
>>221979249>movie about a cheating foidyou'd hate it even more if you weren't a loser
>>221979267>best movie since covidDawn Breaks Behind the Eyes was pretty good, as was Mad Godbut yeah the Odyssey, while not a perfect movie, is a very very good movie. Certainly worth holding your pee for 3 hours.
>>221978328oldfag plz go Seriously though that's awesome. Did you see Aliens in the theater?
>>221978630Alien, Bladerunner, and Gladiator?Gladiator is great, but the other two are in my top 10. He's defintely made some other good ones (and a lot of stinkers), but those are his best imo>>221978673It's so good. I have Late Spring on my watch list
>>221979583>Sam NeilFGreat movie, I never understood why people pooped on it so much
>>221979583Bad Lovecraft adaption, bad John carpenter movie, bad Sam neill performance. Never understood why /tv/ loves it so much
La Dolce Vita (1960)Amazing movie; it's very dark and stays with you for a long time. People who think that the scene in the Fountain of Trevi is romantic are absolute idiots.
>>221979451I definitely thought "woman moment" many times while watching, but I could also kind of empathize with the way the characters felt. It's gotta suck to tie the knot and then years later find someone who's basically perfect and what the hell can you do about it?
>>221979679How can everything you say be so wrong
>>221979710"you shot my cat?""I did. I thought it would bring closure to our relationship"
>>221979679it's a fine movie. give it another chance.best Carpenter movie? no, not by a long shot. They Live is peak Carp. but still, this one isn't bad.
>>221979679It's cheesy and fun. Not every movie needs to take itself seriously in order to be enjoyable. I honestly can't believe there are people that hate it, it's great and in the same league as most Carpenter films like Halloween, The Fog, They Live, etc. Amazing director and Sam Neill never had a bad performance.
>>221979881They Live? Come on, shits the bed in the second half. It's third best. 1. The Thing, no fucking contest 2. Big Trouble in Little China 3. They Live Honorable mention to Escape from New York
>>221970440i think the last movie i saw was flesh+blood because i went on a mini rutger hauer binge with nighthawks and the hitcher then flesh+blood
I always like Shivers. In a weird way I thought it was kind of an adaptation of Ballard's Hi-Rise (more so than the actual movie).>>221979904+1 The Thing
>>221979904I liked Christine
>>221979990t. Rich Evans
>>221979267>Best movie sense COVIDyou guys might think I’m retarded, that’s fine. Godzilla Minus One remains my favorite movie post COVID lol
>>221979904>>221979977Is The Thing the only movie that the entire world agrees is a masterpiece? People have been praising it to the sky for more than a decade and I've never seen anyone complain about it being overrated. It transcends the usual contrarian opinions and it doesn't matter if you're a huge film buff or typically only watch blockbusters, everyone loves it.
>>221980106I've seen a few contrarians do what contrarians do but yeah I've never met anyone who actually disliked the Thing.I was a little surprised at how many people hated the prequel, but I thought it was also good and they clearly took their time ensuring continuity with the OG.
>>221980065based and Gozillapilled.Godzilla Minus One is the best in the franchise imho
>>221980065I thought it was fine. Definitely not enough Godzilla in a fucking Godzilla movie, and way too much human bullshit, but the post covid competition is laughable. I've seen less than a dozen good films in 5 years.
>>221980228>not enough Godzillabut the Original and Shin were exactly liked that and they get the same amount of praise.
>>221972024I saw Where is the Friend's House at a free screening not knowing anything beforehand. Only knew 1 Iranian girl before and the movie had the intimacy you can't get IRL without spending years in getting to know them. If Ghibli were live action it'd be this movie.
>>221980106It's near flawless
>>221980145I think it's the best decades later prequel/sequel/remake I've ever seen. As good as the original? Of course not, but people only hate it because they didn't want the original to be tainted by proxy and overreacted. It's a solid 7/10, maybe even an 8. It's basically as close to the original as possible and far better than it had any right to be.
>>221979977rabid is really great too. early cronenberg is fun
>>221980145>>221980405I was mostly butthurt over how much of the practical effects they seem to have left out in favor of CGI. But yeah overall it was easily 7/10. My gut tells me that it could have been an 8 or even a 9 if it was tweaked a little differently in terms of the post production.
>>221970440Hate to bring this in the thread for you, but i think it was geniunely goodVery good wrestling scene
>>221971393You can't bump by samefagging anymore.
>>221981070>I was mostly butthurt over how much of the practical effects they seem to have left out in favor of CGI.that's fair, and it's especially noticeable when you look at what they did with practical effects on the OG thing.grab it on blu-ray and pause it during the autopsy scene w/ the charred corpse; it transcends "oh those are good effects" to being true art - an amazing sculpture they created. I would like to think that's not just gathering dust in a warehouse somewhere.
>>221971221Greatest movie. Not sure why there's a bot who repeats the same shit about wages every time, but if you press him at all there's nobody there.
A whole bunch of faggots with terrible opinions ITT.
>>221981854t. lights are on but nobody home
>>221972239Pulp Fiction was pretty good you should check it out
>>221970769am I allowed to watch this if I'm american??
>>221971488>The story wasn't told in an engaging way either, clearly just a springboard for the epic battle scenesI love the movie but it does have this issue. The presumption is that you know the course of the battle and the key events in it, which does make it fun to watch if you do know what its trying to depict, but its a little disorienting if you dont know the history.
>>221970440The Golden Voyage of Sinbad
>>221980360I also went in blind and was floored. It felt very low-key and real, like these are real people, this really did happen and we're able to watch it all first hand. Returning the notebook is something so mundane, but also so precious and important. It captures the perspective and sensibilities of kids so so well
>>221978800Definitely some kino moments. Mifune slicing the candle in half to turn out the lights comes to mind. And yeah the name choice made me picture something very different than what we got. Also the main dynamic of an old man fighting to protect genuine love that he never had was great, but I wish we got to see more of Ichi and Yogoro's dynamic so that I could empathize more.
last of the classicanos
>>221970440The Seventh Seal for the hundredth time. It's just great. Vanishing Point was on last night while shit posting. Kino.
>>221972039They don't make them like Telly Savalas anymore...
Candy
>>221985522>have you seen a woman in a blue dress?>who directed it?Best part of the movie.
>>221979559>Did you see Aliens in the theater?I did. It was fucking great.
>>221980106>the entire world agrees is a masterpiece?The film isn't popular with normies because it's too realistic. It is indeed a fucking "masterpiece" of film though for sure.
>HE SAVED EVERY ONE OF US!!!!Kino costumes.Kino performances.Kino colors.Kino soundtrack.This shit is the bomb.
>>221985965the most impressive thing about Flash Gordon is that the actors playing Flash and Dale don't ruin it. they're perfectly fineall the Great British Ac-tors playing villains and such are awesome, but if the American actors had been really bad, it would have all been for naught
>>221970440I just post Oddesey .

>>221970440>this board is unusable>*uses the board*bravo nolan
>>221970440I finally got around to watching pic related. Drank a bottle of wine while I watched it, had a nice buzz going.Anyone who claims the wedding is too long is a fucking pleb, it might have been the best filter I have ever seen.Anyway, this was really, truly kino.
>>221971393I have seen the beans webm so many times lolMy Name is Nobody is incredibly kino as well btw. The scene in the cemetary unironically gave me chills.
>>221972239One of the best films ever made. The bug was in his sax
>>221970440Odyssey underperforming making the shills go insane is at least funny.
>>221987236Image didn't post
>>221978748I got drunk on brandy and watched this New Year's Eve and it was such a mind bogglingly fun time I want to do it again but obviously it won't be the same rewatching it
>>221978644>y'all are just a bunch of superior human beings with tastewe know
>>221978644blackrooms sucks
>>221986981I never understood the wedding complaint. It's actually my favorite part of the movie.
