Here we go! Submit your favorite /film/s for the 8chan Top 250. We'll use this thread to discuss films that should and should not be included. Generally we want the list to reflect the nature of this board, so let's try to avoid mainstream titles. If you liked a recommendation from an old thread, or if you have a new suggestion to add to the list, now is the time to speak up.

Two films added to my watchlist.

You mentioned Bohumil Hrabal so I was curious what else (from films) I would know. When I watched Pearls of the Deep I don't think I realised that all segments came from the same author. But I confess the film did not leave a lasting impression on me because I have forgotten most of the details.

You have a nigger's brain, not even shocked about that considering your flag says everything. By your logic let's include Hard Boiled and many other great HK cinema that fits the "stunning, engaging, bold and provocative story, terrific acting (for being a turkish film) and some innovative action sequences." much better than that piece of shit Turkish propaganda crap, fucking hell dude, I at least hope you're being sarcastic. And I must admit, you got me there.

8kun has restored our board, but there are still plenty of problems here. It is slow and difficult to use. Many images are missing. I cannot change board settings. I can hardly even post.

Hopefully things will improve, but in the meantime we have an alternative. For the past few months https://julay.world/film/ has been the home for /film/. It's been a more stable place to use, so have a look if you didn't know about it.

Chantal Akerman has passed away. I've only seen News from Home and Hotel Monterey but I appreciated her unique style, even if it required patience.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/07/arts/chantal-akerman-belgian-filmmaker-dies-65.html

http://blogs.indiewire.com/criticwire/chantal-akerman-pioneer-of-feminist-and-structuralist-film-is-dead-at-65-20151006

What's interesting about her personality is how she rejected the title of feminist film maker even though everyone wanted to put her in that box. Most obits you'll read today are quick to include that label in their descriptions of her. I remember hearing that she did not like doing "women's film festivals" and preferred regular festivals instead.

<Bibi Andersson, a Swedish actress whose portrayals of chaste schoolgirls, beguiling young women and tormented wives made her a muse and frequent collaborator of filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, most notably in “The Seventh Seal,” “Wild Strawberries” and “Persona,” died April 14 in Stockholm. She was 83.

Rutger Hauer

Son of busy drama teachers, he was raised by private nannies and relatives until he ran out in his teenage years to the sea. After a year he returned and worked various odd jobs while finishing school by night, then he joined an acting school at college.

He seems to have finished it and joined an experimental acting group for a couple of years until Paul Verhoeven, fresh from a series of documentaries and one even winning an award for a military documentary, found him and offered a job for his new ventures at Dutch television in a series so-called Floris, man was 25 at this point.

The series was a success and established both in firm ground, later they collaborated in perhaps a couple of Netherlands' most famous projects internationally: 1973's Turks Fruit, 1975's Keetje Tippel and 1977's Soldaat van Oranje.

After the international release of the latter, along with Verhoeven fighting with the national media and producers (concluding with his famous revenge in form of a movie years later) Hauer jumped the pond and found himself in international projects like 1981's Nighthawk and 1982's Blade Runner.

The man purportedly had a habit of picking roles depending solely if he liked the character and if he could potentiate its traits, giving place to memorable roles in big movies or awkwardly strong performances in direct2video projects. Movies like 1986's The Hitcher, 1989's Blind Fury and 1992's Split Second just like 1988's La Leggenda del Santo Bevitore are example of this.

Man was also informally known as one of the few actors who insisted on portraying german SS units as any other kind of soldier, and if anything more refined if we are to go by his SS roles which were more than a couple; this grounded obvious industry controversy and the mythical "punitive" projects mentioned in contemporary urban legends regarding people who are against vilification. Truth or not this fella worked well in the vast majority of his movies, which made him the most famous dutch actor around.

solid concept with lots of potential for material.

What did you film this with? An iphone or a DSLR from before 2011? The aesthetics seemed very plain and dull. Did you film this using automatic mode?

Why did you use handheld shots then switch to tripod shots for CU? I already know the answer but you do realize that if you go back and forth between static and dynamic shots, it can be jarring to the viewer. In this case, it was obnoxious because it wasn't done proper.

Next time get an audio guy as well, or just buy a cheap smart lav and hook it up to your iphone. You *need* proper audio gear, camera mics are *never* an option unless your established or an its arthouse.

Almost three years later, but I'll offer some of my own thoughts. You really need to either get a handheld rig to reduce the annoying jittering. Also learn how to light scenes, because it looks like you relied solely on natural lighting for shots that need set up. The blonde kid should have been yelling, not pretending to yell. You need to really focus on the different elements and hone them in. There were some funny moments, and you should be proud that you completed the project but strive to improve.

I don't like all of the slow cinema I watch. I wary about watching art installations as if they're a normal film. It seems like they are intended to be screened in a gallery with people milling around, not so much by someone on their couch doing nothing else.

Usually it takes a while for me to get into the "rhythm" of a slow film, if that makes sense. Then I will either love the film for being a transcendent experience or hate it for wasting my time. The good stuff keeps me interested enough to keep exploring other titles.

James Benning for example I appreciate how he finds unique locations to perfectly compose a frame. My eyes move around the image much like I'd do with a photograph. Then as a "finale" to the brief experience something interesting may happen within the frame.

I thought this might be a good idea so that we don't crowd the catalog and that threads of a higher quality can remain more accessible for longer. I'll start... and I apologize because I know how vague this is going to be. A couple months back (and I think it was on this board) I saw a recommendation for a French film that was made in the last five years. It's most obvious characteristic was the intense, unusual camerawork; holding on strange angles and shaking violently at times. I saw a scene and all I remember is that it took place in the woods, with two characters maybe? That's all I have...

I don't know if documentaries are okay, but I started watching this last night. It gives a basic overview of the Soviet relationship with Afghanistan and the events that led to war. Apparently the instability began when the commies took over Afghanistan. The new leadership was more radical than the Soviets, and their socialist ideals were ill suited for the country.

I've been called jew for saying that Heine's preface of Lutetia is more persuasive than Kapital and I've been called marxist for not being german.

In other words, I'm not sure what exactly makes him marxist and this is the closest I found for what he could be called one. These buzzwords suck. So question for you, >>15292, what's the marxist agenda?

And qestion for you too, as I'm quite new to film: why is he reactionary?

Wes Anderson strikes me as the type of guy who should have been a cartoonist but ended up being a filmmaker instead, like Kojima but for movies.

You really don't get it. His films have meaning. They're not just randomness for randomness sake. Each film is deeply symbolic to him.

Lynch is like Tarantino, extremely normie. The movies are not deep (Eraserhead being a prime example) and he fucked up Dune, which would have been easy to adapt. There are numerous other directors who touch on the concepts that he does, that do so in a much more succinct and beautiful way. Schrader and Linklater being very good examples of that.

Pabst's Blue Velvet

Eraser Head

Short Films

Lost Highway

Rabbits

Mulholland Drive

Oh Son, What Have Ye Done [Producer. Herzog dir.]

Twin Peaks S3 not before seeing at least Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive, but S1&2 will be fine. He's fanatic about Kafka's Metamorphosis, and watch films he mentions in interview like Sunset Blvd. His casting choices very often have uncanny resonances in character name and subject matter, and are worth seeing thereafter.

Who's Who of Victorian Cinema - A biographical guide to the earliest years of moving pictures, 1871-1901 - http://www.victorian-cinema.net/

<The confusion that existed at the birth of film to a very large extent still exists. Moving pictures did not arrive as a neat package on a specific date; those who were involved knew nothing of the phenomenon of cinema that was to come. They were scientists who saw film as an aid to their work, businessmen who hoped to exploit a new invention for the short period they expected the public to be attracted to it, or performers only doing what they would normally do on a stage. Moving pictures were just another invention in an age of inventions, or just another variety turn. What none could have foreseen was the grip that film would have on audiences, how the medium would develop and extend itself, and how the moving image would become dominant as a means of communication and entertainment in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Sample biography

Shibata Tsunekichi was a photographer employed by the Mitsukoshi department store in Japan. He appears as a filmmaker in April 1898, filming five scenes in Tokyo for the Lumière brothers, the first films in Japan by a native filmmaker. In 1899 he filmed three geisha dances, at the behest of Komada Koyo, benshi and proto-film producer. The dancers had trouble staying within the sight-lines laid down for them, but geisha films went on to become a very popular native product in the earliest years of Japanese filmmaking. The geisha films were first shown 20 June 1899. In September of the same year Shibata shot Inazuma goto Hobaku no Ba (The Lightning Robber is Arrested), with Yokoyama Umpei playing the detective and Sakamato Keijiro the burglar. The following day Shibata shot Shosei no Sumie (The Schoolboy's Ink Painting) with Yokoyama as a man painted with ink by two boys while he is asleep on a bench. In November 1899 he shot the most prestigious Japanese film so far, Momiji-gari (Maple Leaf Hunters), intended as an historic record of the Kabuki theatre actors Danjuro IX and Kikugoro V. Ninin dojoji (Two People at Dojo Temple) was made in December. Shibata, by now JapanPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

It seems to use jdownloader, a program I really dislike, but perhaps you can get around it. There used to be sites that decrypt DLC files.
