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...

UHD is mostly mainstream and new releases, but you can also find Suspiria, Lawrence of Arabia, They Live, 2001 A Space Odyssey. Maybe others too but that's all I know offhand. I noticed there's a lot of Chinese films in UHD too.
The filesizes are about 15 GB and up.
You can find some of the files here:

Is there a real difference between filming in B&W using film than there is with just shooting colour digital and then editing B&W through post-production?
Leaving the fidelity differences between digital and film, can post-production replicate the colours of b&w film accurately?

The preference seems to be to shoot modern B&W films in color. I can't name a recent major production that was actually shot in B&W. Can anyone else?
Given the preference to shoot in color, there must be advantages to that approach. A color film may be easier to manipulate in post. For example, I assume that greenscreen effects are impossible in monochrome.
I'm trying to think of the name of the "final" film to be shot on black and white film. It was a semi-recent low budget US sci-fi. I believe Kodak was in the process of discontinuing the filmstock as they were finishing the film.

It's a great scene, very intense. The best acting? I don't know how to make such a judgement. First, acting is subjective -- what sort of acting is the best acting? Second, it's hard to say a given film is truly #1 in a broad category like acting (or cinematography, soundtrack, etc.) because there are so many other films to consider.

Both movies are from lathe 80's or the beginning of 90'. The first on is a couple of teen friend who create a kind of ball of energy that can travel very fast. They build a "spaceship" inside and travel to space. The second one is a teen that build a working nuclear bomb for a school project. Then the fbi chase him.

Because Suspiria got a recent remake so people are starting to get interested in those. I'm italian, I think they are bullshit and I had the exact same thought even before this mania started
>it reminds me of american obssession with b(and less)-movies or, how do they proudly refer to them, cult movies.
It's exactly what it is about. Giallo is in italy is a type of literature (what is called pulp everywhere else) and giallo movies are basically our equivalent of what americans call grindhouse.
Same exact shit. Italian cinema got ruined by this americanization of movies too.
Btw the B or lesser movie obsession I think it's just a bastardization (muttification if you like) of what Chaiers du cinema, who first "discovered" the value of B movies who were more free to experiment and more "auteurial", said. Americans only weren't able to understand that within the context of classical hollywood it made sense, after it didn't and then Tarantino said it was cool to like them so now here we are.
I enjoy watching these cheesy grindhouse/B movies or less too. With a bit of self irony and a bit of admiration for having put out a movie with little money and little time and still be able to deliver and even try some more out there approach. If I have to watch something entertaining and interesting (for the gimmicks) they deliver and they don't take themself seriously. Still we never had a Seijun Suzuki in Italy so you are really not losing out anything.

I found one test to compare 2160p and 1080p

Maybe you will see differences but I can't tell them apart. However I believe this comparison is flawed. Putting the videos side-by-side minimizes differences in image detail. It would be better to watch each clip at fullscreen, and preferably without knowing which is which.
If you know another resolution comparison test, please share!

weirdly there are actually two releases of suspiria. One where the cinematographer iirc supervised restoration, and another which argento himself signed off on. The former supposedly looks truer to the technicolor esque visual intention, but the latter has a new soundmix (the former has the theatrical 4.0 audio).

Luigi Cozzi has a quote about how in italy it was impossible to make an original movie. "What can I do? In Italy, when you bring a script to a producer, the first question he asks is not 'What is your film like?' but 'What film is your film like?' That's the way it is in Italy. We can only make Zombie II, never Zombi I."[5]

I used to use Subtitle Edit to finalize DVD subs, but I didn't think it was very good for text and syncing.
Anyway my problem was that I downloaded SW version 6.0b because it was at the top of the publisher's webpage.

Instead I should have downloaded version 6.0e which works much better.

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.
