1. Battleship Potemkin (1925)

The newest film on that list came out 68 years ago. What does OP trying to convey?

>intolerance not number 1
>not even Dreyer's best

Weekend came out in 67, it's accurate

Yea yea, try harder. But first, learn to read, and watch some films.

great damage control ffam

>Bicycle Thieves

This was dull as fuck. Just 90 minutes of a guy and his son going around looking for a bike.

>The Passion of Joan of Arc

This was dull as fuck. Just 90 minutes of some dudes asking questions to this dyke. Then they burn her.

Again the Italians have sent us a brilliant and devastating film in Vittorio De Sica's rueful drama of modern city life, The Bicycle Thief. Widely and fervently heralded by those who had seen it abroad (where it already has won several prizes at various film festivals), this heart-tearing picture of frustration bids fair to fulfill all the forecasts of its absolute triumph over here. For once more the talented De Sica, who gave us the shattering Shoeshine, that desperately tragic demonstration of juvenile corruption in post-war Rome, has laid hold upon and sharply imaged in simple and realistic terms a major—indeed, a fundamental and universal—dramatic theme. It is the isolation and loneliness of the little man in this complex social world that is ironically blessed with institutions to comfort and protect mankind.

>no movies from 2000 onward

ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND DROPPED!

wow that's a pretty #rare poster for McCabe & Mrs. Miller you got there

I couldn't find a large one in English in the twelve seconds I looked

that's a big list

Where THE FUCK is A Talking Cat!?! (2013, DeCoteau)
Shit list/10

>Intolerance

This was dull as fuck. Just 4 hours epic intercuts four parallel storylines separated by several centuries, with large global scale action battle scenes.

battleship potemkin and bicycle thieves are great, the only other one ive seen is citizen kane which i didnt like at all

problem child 2

Oh, damn, I didn't realize it was the French version
Anyways, it's one of my all-time faves too, super hyped for the new Criterion restoration

have you considered watching more movies before giving your worthless opinion?

One more week

but ive seen several thousand films already

those are the little things that make me happy

flicks and movies are not films user

not the ones that are worth watching, clearly

fuck I just read the filename

>No Life and Times of Colonel Blimp

What the blazes?

ive seen many films i consider high cinema and works of art equal to both battleship potemkin and bicycle thieves. i just dont have a way of consuming these old films. you're just being an elitist faggot picking such a list of ancient and unobtainable films

Here's a movie that's better than all of those.

>some of the most acclaimed films of all time

This means nothing. Half the time I watch an """acclaimed""" film I just end up wondering what the big deal was supposed to be. People sure like to overhype movies just because they are old.

>Is the Eisenstein and Chaplin cocklover faggot doing lists again

No thanks you fucking retard piece of shit, not in my watch. fuck off and die fatfuck.

You should really watch City Lights, you're missing something.

my point was that they are really easy to obtain

>mahnee comix fans beleeb dis

>man tries to familiarize himself with the history of a media
>faggot elitist
holy shit this is literally what's wrong with modern culture
go back being a sycophant to instagram whores, or arguing the merit of philosophies you never finished reading about
or at least don't post your 100% worthless opinion here

you don't have taste because you can't discern the difference between good acting, writing, and directing

you're better off investing your time reading and watching docos about the process so you can better categorize the differences

What a pleb

Am I the only one who thought Passion Of Joan Of Arc was fucking terrible?
Its just some woman making the same face for an entire movie with really shitty "artsy" sets. That's it. That's the whole fucking movie. Include some shots with horrific composition and some terrible props.

I would hope you're the only one with such retardation, but I know better, and the world- and here, specially- is filled with them.

Why is it good?

If you really wanted to know you could google essays and articles about it but you don't.

No the replied and I myself haven't watched it, but why would you want the opinion from someone on this place when you have the whole internet at your service to offer all learning you would need??

I have.
>Oh what a masterpiece Dreyer makes us feel the persecution by making Joan's persecutors look ugly
>WOW SO MUCH DEPTH PUTTING THE JUDGES HEADS IN THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE SHOT FOR NO REASON MASTERPIECE MASTERPIECE MASTERPIECE

I understand people saying it's not as good as majority claims, but not at all?
How?It was both pleasant to the eye and had a good story, isn't that enough to like a movie?

it was gay as shit
