Now I'm having second thoughts about Dial M for Murder. In case it had too many scenes in other locations, replaced it with Arsenic and Old Lace which is mostly (?) confined to one house.

>with Arsenic and Old Lace which is mostly (?) confined to one house.

It is confined to the outside of the house and the inside. If I remember right, only the very start has them somewhere else briefly.

What are you talking about Anon it clearly says released in 2018 from Google. You sure you just aren't so much of a pleb you couldn't find it? :^)

literally jewish propaganda

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radegund_(film) says otherwise, and anyway, who the fuck cares?

mods delete pls

Where are the times when quality films were shot in two weeks?

Oh cool. I saw Home Alone when I was a wee lad, never rewatched, so for most of my life I thought that movie was authentic.

I enjoyed watching Miracle on 34th Street and A Christmas story on Christmas. Have a happy new year as well.

Another year has come and gone

Merry Christmas everybody

The oldest feature I've ever seen is Nosferatu, which is my favourite adaptation of Dracula and one of my favourite movies in general. Max Schreck blows Lugosi out of the fucking water with his performance. The oldest short film I've seen with a narrative is embed related, from 1899. It's a fairly simple short visually and in terms of the narrative, but I think it's incredible that something as simple as a jump cut to swap out an object to us was revolutionary back then.

Oh and I guess I've seen the Roundhay Garden Scene. It's pretty neat.

i like how those cuts were used, so frequently and pretty fluid too.

<Some time ago I came across a phenakistoscope (also spelled as phenakistiscope or phenakitiscope or phantasmascope or phantascope), an antique optical instrument that displays animated images (practically current animated gif) invented in 1832 by Joseph Plateau. I then found some scans of these circles on the Internet and I began to digitally animate them. After a few attempts, I started to combine these animations trying to create something original and unpublished.

NEW scan of A Trip Down Market Street, but no sound

<This scan of the legendary pre-earthquake film was made from the best existing material at 4K (4096 x 3072) resolution and transcoded to 2K (2048 x 1536) for YouTube.

I'll go even further: Is this one of the best manage of camera in the cinema of 2000's?

I haven't seen it. I wonder who has? Because it has a surprisingly low rating, rather intriguing.

I remember the visual style of static shots from a distance in Dogtooth and The Lobster. Despite that change Yorgos has used the same cinematographer for just about everything.

For god's sake, they even included a Star Wars movie to the list. Is just the same mainstream kind with another mask.

I liked New Hope very much. Wouldn't put it in the first 100 tho.

Can anyone explain why is the matrix apeshit Empire Strikes Back so popular? he should have stopped after New Hope for his own sake

I haven't seen many films in general, so I haven't seen any that Šarūnas Bartas made. As for Lithuanian cinema, movies made here seem to be mostly either bleak dramas or dumb, low-brow comedies. A couple films I remember seeing in the cinema are Lošėjas (Gambler) in 2013 and Šventasis (The Saint) in 2016-2017. Both fall into the bleak drama category and both seemed a bit needlessly depressing, though I enjoyed them nevertheless. Another is Pelėdų Kalnas (Owl mountain) from 2018 which was well made and higher-budget than usual, though I didn't pay much attention to the plot which revolved around the partisan life in Soviet occupied Lithuania. Many of the mainstream "good films" in Lithuania are about the usurpations that the nation endured during and after WWII, such as Dievų Miškas (Forest of the Gods) from 2005 and the new Tarp Pilkų Debesų (Ashes in the Snow) in 2018, which I haven't seen. I liked Forest of the Gods well enough, even if the acting was a bit primitive. Prieš parskrendant į žemę (Before Flying Back to Earth) from 2005 is a pretty good documentary about children with leukemia living in a hospital. An older and popular one that I enjoyed is Maža išpažintis (Little Confession) from 1971, which is a good glimpse into 1970's Soviet Lithuania, but finding it would be pretty hard apart from Lithuanian private trackers, and getting english subtitles would probably be impossible.

Funnily enough, I just watched Happy Madison with my grandfather.

As for best movies, I'll nominate Billy Madison and Waterboy.

Yeah, those movies i have it as a dvd. Not physically though, i download them.

Me too. It wasn't long ago that Rivette's films were hard to find with good quality + English subs. Now they are mostly on bluray. It's a great thing.

LA adaptación, cuando es leve, loose, puede desembocar en una historia original. Por ejemplo, intentando adaptar un libro en el cual el narrador enuncia explicitamente que el es el creador de los personajes. ¿Cómo traduzco eso a una película?. El intento de traducir la manera en que se da la información en una novela o cuento puede hacerte ver mecanismos formales del lenguaje audiovisual que s epueden usar para contar cosas que no necesariamente tengan que ver con la historia del cuento o novela. Te hacen descubrir maneras, dispositivos, interfaces.

>>12615

Pensar como se presentan los personajes, que porcentaje de la pelicula se dedica a cada cosa, etc. Por ejemplo, la mitad de la novela que estoy intentando adaptar presenta a los personajes de la siguiente manera: 40% del libro sobre un personaje, 40% sobre el otro (nunca en paralelo, aparecen sucesivos) y el otro 20 es el final en el que se encuentran dentro de la historia. Puedo pensar esa manera de relacionar y presentar personajes porque esa novela me los sugirió. Y no necesariamente usar el contenido de esa novela.

i already have some projects i want to work in the long future, nowadays it´s just thinking about the story itself, asking myself what if this plays out in a certain way and so on, changing some things that obviously can´t work, most of the projects i will working will be book to film adaptations so it saves me time about having coming up with an original story (which i suck doing it lol)

Lack of over saturation.

>>13556

Irony?

Btw do you consider the blu-ray release of Solyaris, the very cold blue-tinted one that changed the very core of the film and killed any detail in it, superior to the original?

Depends on what type of sci-fi we're talking about. Are you doing soft sci-fi or hard sci-fi? What genre of sci-fi is it: space opera, cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic, steampunk (God forbid), time travel, or any other such type? These variables will influence the factors of what makes good sci-fi.

I will argue that, at minimum, a sci-fi movie has to have all the qualities that make good movies in general, plus concepts that are rooted in at least some basis of scientific fact, theory, or hypothesis, and, if we're dealing with soft sci-fi, relevant, non-preachy social commentary.

if you liked Sans Solei you defenitly should check this other Chris Marker film

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050633/

it's similar structure, poetic voice over documentary about life and stuff. This genre is called eassy films.

Wow, thanks for the recommendation of bozo texino, really looks prommising. Would you have a torrent which i could use? Or a link to download?

>>13518

Nevermind, found it.

Just watched Who's Bozo Texino. Thanks for the recommendation, a quite unique documentary.

>>13537

Thanks, i actually went to his website just as i finished it. He has some interesting expositions.

>What makes a movie like this resonate with so many men

Are you female? I haven't seen this one but I assume men like it for the same reason they like other war films -- adventure, action, heroism, etc.

>a fictional romanticization of the British Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars over 200 years ago?

Usually a movie about the past is modernity in drag. Also, I don't think a story has to be true or contemporary for people to identify with it.

You mean why anglophonic man-cuck audience like it? Simply beacuse it's exactly as stupid as any other shit action movies they usually watch in televi.

It certainly adds a bit more context, even if the alien visitation angle is less pronounced in the film. I think what makes it difficult to engage with sometimes is that a lot of the characters come off as unsympathetic. That goes for Solaris as well in my opinion.

“Stalker” basically guides you by the hand all the way. It even has “that's what it all is about” scene for slowpokes, after which all discussion of aliens and connection with book's plot becomes irrelevant.

“Andrei Rublev” is too overwhelming to not understand it.

Other movies work better if you have the experience in dealing with artists' thoughts on art and their own place in physical and imaginary world.

As this anon says: Watch his films chronologically. You'll see how he progresses artistically and the recurrent themes he delves into, i.e. The infancy; spirituality; Horses; The paternal figure; flying as a metaphor, etc.

I would really recommend watching Red Beard after you get done with the ones above.

It's his most underrated film and I would say one of his top 5.

>>4504

this basically.

I started with Seven Samurai and it was stunning. I dont know if others may have catch it, but you could see the influence it had on anime.

Dreams

I really like the postwar era Kurosawa. I'd recommend you check The drunken angel and A wonderful sunday, and No regrets for our youth.
