I don't think about this very much so it took longer than expected
But these are probably my top picks

Cool I have Rublev on my HD waiting for a good time to watch it
I've been saving it, same with Die Nibelungen

I regularly rewatch Seven Samurai hoping that one day I like it. I like action and adventure films but I just can't into 7S.
>>8358
I haven't seen any of these. I have Triump of the Will on my HD though.

You should definitely give Rublev a watch or two if you like Marketa Lazarova. I can't say for sure that you'll like it as much, but it should still be right up your alley.

I love Murnau and Hiroshima mon amour.
I don't like Triumph of the Will as much as Olympia because it's hard to understand what's happening at the Nazi rally, who's speaking, why certain issues are important, etc. It helped to turn on the commentary track. I was much more impressed with Leni Riefenstahl after watching Olympia, which is her colossal vision unmarred by Goebbels.

Yeah I've been taking my time with Tarkovsky, but I'll be watching that one next. The big ambitious projects appeal to me (when they work of course).

Interesting. I haven't seen any of those and the last three weren't on my radar

you should probably watch Meet me in st louis tonight, since it's winter time, also because it's the best film of all time

I'll watch it soon for sure. I haven't seen an old Hollywood movie for a while and that looks like a good choice.

I watched is a few nights ago. The story about a midwestern family set at the beginning of the 20th C. reminded me of The Magnificent Ambersons. But Meet Me in St. Louis was pretty light and upbeat by comparison.
Judy Garland looked a little odd sometimes. The bad wig was distracting. It made me wonder what drew her to be a top star, but I see from wikipedia she struggled a lot with MGM demands about her appearance.
Also I was sad to see one of the little girls from this movie in the TCM montage about 2016 deaths. The youngest is still alive at 79 yo.

I don't know, what hypnotizes me or calls me about the film is something else entirely. I'm usually not that fond of family films like that, but Minnelli's luminous composition and the way the characters evolve around the space they're given its all magical to me (you can appreciate this when the father sings "You and I" and the whole family starts surrounding him). I'm also very intrigued by his way of portraying family relations because I think it's beyond superb, also really admired this aspect in Some Came Running.
All the jokes really stuck with me, nothing fell flat and all the characters are so delightful.
Admittedly, part of my love for the film comes from seeing it on Christmas time in New York (35mm) I cried a lot that time I admit.
Judy Garland isn't gorgeous but she's incredibly energetic and brings a lot to the film, I don't know if she was married to Minnelli already on that time.
Beautiful beautiful technicolor.

I saw it on TV during Christams. It was pretty good. Being a musical, I wasn't expecting it to be very interesting visually I don't really know much about musicals, but I really liked the look of the film.

yeah I'm not really enthusiastic about musicals, but Minnelli's musicals are something else.
Allegedly Cukor's musicals are great as well, he even has one (or more?) with Garland, but I haven't seen any of them yet.

The only movies of his I've seen are The Philadelphia Story and Gaslight. They're not musicals, but I enjoyed them both quite a bit. The Philadelphia Story has some fantastic dialog.
