Malcolm X, but Accatone is a spiritually african film. The art of pimpin' comes from the kangz themselves.
Every time that Jackie Chan ran down a skyscraper.
>>223227335Yeah, the answer to the bonus question is definitely a Jackie stunt.
I'm one Spike Lee film away from calling him the n-word, talentless hack
>>223227130There was a 1972 film called "The Man" that I thought was pretty good. But I haven't watched it in decades:> An accident kills the president and the speaker of the house> The VP is too sick to become President> so the President Pro Tem of the senate becomes president> stars James Earl Jonesthe IMDB:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068912/the full movie:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXdA0z5BUig
>>223227528The bike chase in Project A is up there.
>>223227733You dindu watch Malcolm X, nigga.
i accidentally recommend a movie to a letterboxd friend that probably won't like the movie at alli'm gonna have to delete my account
maybe something Buster Keaton. Then of course there's the time I jumped 84 stories down onto a van for John Wick 4. Never quite recovered.

>>223227130And to think I almost called Lloyd based for last thread's Mitchum bake. Holy cringe. Should've be(e)n a Gazzara bake.
>>223228329>AN EMAIL EXCHANGE I HAD YESTERDAY WITH SPIKE LEE. I POST IT AS IT MIGHT BE OF INTEREST TO CINEMAPHILES.>Hey Spike,>I noticed Malcolm X on Netflix tonight and decided to watch it again. I remembered liking it when it came out but not much else. What a great film! What an achievement!>But it also reminded me of an event in my own life. Our Christian Reformed Church in Western Michigan helped support an inner city church at 113th and what was then called 6th Ave. The summer of 1964 I did church work at a halfway house down the block. I was the token teenage white kid in two floors of rehabbing addicts. And of course I made friends with my house mates. I thought they were cool. And I imagined they thought the same of me.>And I had the keys to the halfway house. So after a bit this "friendship" got extracurricular. I would go out with two of my best "friends" and cruise the streets, they'd score, then return, I'd lock the door and no one was the wiser.>I remember on one occasion they took me to Smalls Paradise. Man, I thought that was the top of the top. My "friends" were in the In Crowd and I was with them!>Of course the church caught on. A week or so later I was sent back to Grand Rapids.>Paul S.>Dear Paul, Happy You Took 3 Years Out Of Your Life To Re-Watch MALCOLM X. And Thanks For That Story. Peace And Love,Spike>Thanks
>>223228329I watched it and Denzel carries it, only thing I liked really was the docu series on Katrina. I feel like you can only get into his movies if you are from USA, I don't really give a shit about every movie of his being some kind of crusade for black people.
>>223228492>Should've be(e)n a Gazzara bakeWe call those /bgg/ here.
Just got home from work and what the hell was that cuckold posting that bizarre Asian movie with some 50 year old dude eating watermelon and acting like a toddler? What kind of absolute brain rot was /film/ subjected to?
oh brotha cousin, I dont watch films, they watch me
>>223228492>>223228692Anyone else seen Ben's debut role The Strange One? Now that's a fine picture. He's the goat from the jump.
>>223228556Do you think Uncle Paul has shown Spike the Kinski beaver tapes? It wouldn't be cool to hold out on a brotha, SHO NUFF!
*smooch*>QOTDMalcolm X, Watermelon Man, Shaft, Trouble Man, Brother (2000), I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, the list goes on>BonusMichael Douglas fucking Glenn Close hehehe.
>>223228559The cultural influence the USA has is immense, my nigga. You can find wiggaz, chiggaz and niggaz in any place in the world. I think he's a very US-core filmmaker, but surely anyone anywhere can find something likeable in Malcolm X or Do the Right Thing.>DenzelHe guarantees kino no matter how shitty the joint.>>223228556Based Spike. Go Saints.
An anon recommended me The 25th Hour but I accidentally grabbed 25th Hour. D'oh!
>>223229051>The cultural influence the USA has is immense, my nigga. You can find wiggaz, chiggaz and niggaz in any place in the worldA very unfortunate truth.
>QOTDKilla Season or Get Rollin. Killa Season is not a good flick at all but it’s hilarious, and I grew up listening to dipset. >BonusSomething Buster Keaton definitely. My favorite most recent film of is The Ballonatic or The Electric House. It’s been too long since I’ve watch a Buster Keaton movie.
>QOTDBlack Dynamite is kino
I love black folks! I admit that filmmaking is not one of their strong pursuits, but otherwise they are pretty based. I also like Downtown 81 with Basquait. Not made by a black man but the camera follows him.
>>223229170That movie sucks, only worth it for the footage of DNA performing.
#1 Baller of Da Thread (Me) Watch Me Do A 360!
I just recently learned Blonde Redhead got their name from a DNA song. Zamn!
>>223229195Whatever man! Suicide is based. Plus the ending where he kisses the girl, gets the money he needs and spray paints the car/driving away is cool.
>>223229170Black people are goated at music but mid at movies. This is an obvious truth to anyone with a functioning brain, one that people like Richard Brody have spent their whole careers denying.
Shoutout to all my Yung Felons out there! I liked that movie even though it wasn’t good.
>>223229239They are not goated at music.
I’m finna fuck a black bitch in her black asshole!
>>223229243It was vibeable, for sure overhated. Rocky is unironically a good actor with a lot of potential and I hope he gets casted in other high profile joints.
>>223229336Sweet brown sugga!
>>223229251Yes they are. Plus I’m going to go and teach some yn’s how to use a camera soon and they will eventually make a good movie! What camera should I give them? I’m going to groom them how Larry Clark did Harmony Korine!
Black women love Asians too! I love black people!
>>223229239This is true, but they recently became very good at adult cinema. They really are catching up to the other races at tremendous speeds.
I blame Lloyd for this, it was his retarded question that spawned this shit.
What is this obsession with being as retarded as possible on this website?
Don't shoot the messenger, shoot the lil tommies
>>223229470Bitches love retards.
Birkinfag, I told you to watch Modesty Blaise (a slightly stinky flick) once, but you should also check out Losey's Secret Ceremony and Mr. Klein. They're right up your alley.>>223229444The moment I saw the OP I knew the thread would devolve into shitposting by the second reply lol. Anyway, I think it's time for me to finally watch Terayama's Grass Labyrinth. It's been sitting on my folder for ages.
Which version of The Manchurian Candidate should I watch?
>>223229879The original
>>223229879see >>223229894
Pleb: High NoonBarbarian: Rio BravoPatrician: 3:10 to Yuma
>>223230558Red River (the first 2/3rds of it at least, terrible ending aside) are top notch. High Noon is mediocre. It beats you over the head. I don't need five gazillion shots of clocks to indicate time's running out in this basic ass treatise on human morality. Classic instance of coy Old Hollywood mistrust in the viewer.Wagon Master is the real patrician pick when it comes to that era.
>>223230643fuck off Marion
hey guys, i finished watching " the night of the iguana ". i thought it was really good, with particularly great performances by richard burton (the exorcist II) and deborah kerr. the lolita girl (sue lyon) is also in it. tomorrow i plan to watch "baby doll" which is another tennesse williams screenplay adaptation, i guess i'm in that particular kind of mood. the problem is that when you watch a lot of movies by the same director or writer in a short timespan, you end up mixing them all up together a couple of years ilater
>>223230691Wayne's characterization of High Noon as anti-American is ballyhoo. It argues for the necessity of "strong men" that will rise above the circumstances and take action in a time of need. It's a deeply conservative film in my eyes, as most Hollywood films are. Personally, I would've had Gary Cooper die during the shootout. Or have him abandon the town as the bandits wreak havoc. But those Brechtian grounds went largely unexplored in the western genre until the revisionist wave came in (and also until the Euros had a crack at it). If the Christlike gunfighter was shown to be as equally incompetent or cowardly as the townsfolk, then it would've been truly anti-American, and perhaps more satisfying.
Today would've been Peter Falk's 99th birthday.
>>223230746Baby Doll is great, especially Wallach's performance. Southern gothic is such a kino subgenre.
>>223231035
>>223230894It's anti-American in the sense that it goes against certain values of the people. The film is modernist and statist, which as I said, goes against some conservative values. The "strong man" being a godless State official.>Personally, I would've had Gary Cooper die during the shootout. Or have him abandon the town as the bandits wreak havoc.I think the ending is perfect. The job's finished and he quits with duly contempt.
>>223229879>Which version of The Manchurian Candidate should I watch?The one directed by Demme starring Farmiga.
>>223231169>Southern gothic is such a kino subgenre.I love it; there's something about these high society families living in their fancy houses in a hot and humid climate and the psychological terror and melodrama backed by the classism and racism and they just go insane, there's something about southern gothic that has always appealed to me it's such a unique setting
>>223231444watch La mansión de Araucaíma and Carne de tu carneboth staged by Mayolo and montaged by Ospina
>>223231444Isn't Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil one of those sorts of movies? Never seen it but based on the little I know about the plot it sounds like one of those.
She is right you know
>>223231609its borderline, the protagonist (john cusack) is a city boy and its really focused on the scandalous old families as much as class interactions in the city. but yeah its totally got the aesthetic, clint eastwood made some pretty good films.
>>223231648I wouldn't mind sleeping next to her with my stiff cock grinding against her cheeks.
>>223231648I don't think she has the ass for anal, but that throat could be a goat.
>>223232051shut up, virgin
>>223227130>African American>/film/
>>223232104Open up your ass.
Who has the nicest looking cock here? Not the biggest necessarily but the most aesthetically pleasing to look at.
um
>>223232146This thread is for making shitposts about cinema. Not earnest posts about cock aesthetics
is ping pong the most /film/ic sport?
>>223232146Probably me because I'm cut.
>>223232231Close but the answer is Motorsport
>>223232146Gay ass question.Not me, I'm big and girthy, but I recently developed some thrombosis which makes my dick look really weird, almost like one of those oversized dildos. Yes, my dick got bigger from the inflammation (I hope it's permament, I gained like half an inch of length from it and some girth, too).Btw motherfuckers, don't goon for too long or have sex too hard, it might make your dick thrombotic due to the excess effort of maintaning the blood flow for such a long period of time.
Marnie was a slog, but it was worth it because good GOD Diane Baker swept me off my feet. What an underrated beauty, she mogged the fuck outta Tippi Hedren.
>>223232394you're a slog
>>223232267oh
>>223232418>korea motor championship
>>223232146Definitely not me.
>>223232408Sorry, but Hitch is at his weakest when he explicitly leans into the Freudian shit.
Do you faggots even karaoke?
>Who has the nicest looking cock here?>is ping pong the most /film/ic sport?>Do you faggots even karaoke?
>>223232647we call it the norebang here, it's a feature in many good films.
>>223232647
>>223232146I’ll show my cook eventually, but only when it’s going into a pussy or bussy! I actually already have one porno out there somewhere.
#redeemed
>>223232527just like dale sr.rip
>>223232647Ya. Karaoke is cathartic.
>>223232941One of my exes was from Kannapolis and we always used to joke about Dale. Kinda miss that 5'10" big bitch.>>223232647Of course.
>>223232941>If you're not first you're last.Ricky Bobby Kim
>>223233036DALE YEAH
Dang, two brothers involved in two separate car crashes at the exact same time. I sure hope the one that died didn't love his wife so much that his spirit refused to move on and instead possessed the body of the still alive brother.
>>223232972Feel like karaokeing?
>>223232799Yeah this is pretty much fucking awful
>>223233442Have you tried...
>>223233442HAHA FUCKING REDDIT DOT COM MY DUDES
>>223233450No but I have cried
>>223233442You're pretty much fucking awful.
>>223233478Crymaxxing is good, now look me in the fucking hunter eyes while I tell you everything's gonna be fine, babygirl.
>>223227130>>QotD>Favourite African American /film/?>>Bonus>Most impressive physical feat by a actor (e.g. stunt, dance, etc.)?Nice call out to Stormy Weather, OP. That's my answer to both the questions btw. Other possible answers for great physical feats could be stunts (Keaton, Jackie Chan, Yakima Canut), or dancing (Fred and Ginger made everything look easy but their routines are damn difficult), or maybe even Laurel and Hardy's famous pie fight (or honorable mention to its homage in The Great Race, pic).
>>223233011Too tall.
I genuinely just love cinema. It’s such a gratifying hobby man I am so happy it’s a part of my life
>>223233569Impossible!>>223233660Fucking awesome lmao
I never knew filmic was an actual word.
what letterboxd extension is this?
>>223232339Crazy
I liked A Soldier's Story. Great acting.
>>223234191Why wouldn't it be?

>>223234393It's okay, it's a benign condition that usually goes away by itself and it is painless.
>>223232231>>223232267It’s either Motorsport or boxing.
>>223233660I feel you. I just dudeweeded for the first time again in a little and now I’m going to watch a horror movie.
Favourite Mutiny on the Bounty version?
>>223235589see >>223229894
God am I utterly smitten with 60's Bujold. Hypnotically lovely.
>>223236121Apart from a typically exceptional Laughton performance and some great shots of the ship at sea, it's pretty bland.
I love sounding autistic, it makes my voice more unique.
>>223236519Monotone you mean? I talk in a low register monotone and I suspect it makes me sound relaxing and sexy.
>>223236519Not /film/
>>223236581Monotone and deep is part of it, but I think what really makes me unique is the fact that my ESL accent sounds like a combination of all of my influences growing up and that makes it different from everybody else I know.
>>223236627My ESL accent's the same way. I often subconsciously mimic the accent of the person I'm talking to. After some warming up I can do a nearly convincing British accent. It's really difficult to tell where I'm from.
I've only actually spoken english one time.
>>223236844Yeah, I think I honestly sound like an ESL northern / eastern european most of the time, but with a spanish cadence to it. Last time I was coming back from France, I was talking with one of the flight attendants and he thought I was european for the whole 11 hour flight! I really like people not being able to define me or pinpoint me.
>>223236889That's crazy. No english in high school?
>>223236968OPSEC level: ambiguous accent
Calm before the storm.
>>223236978There were english classes in high school but we weren't required to speak really, just exercises in a book and then written tests.
>>223236593Oh, I'm so sorry.>>223237344Strange!
>>223237370It is funny now that i think about it how every language course focuses heavily on conversation and i learned english just by reading and listening, with zero conversation.
