Pleb tier in that they're pretty common to and easy to check out their entire catalog. Not very impressive.

@CharlieWork how do you not finish The Game?

Film stays underrated

I think I was watching psycho thrillers and ended my spree there. It was pretty late at night after I watched Jacob's Ladder.

Ah. Thought you stopped because you thought it was s--- or something.

 

Dec 3, 2014

I have seen..

Stanley Kubrick (thirteen)
Atom Egoyan (thirteen, seeing his latest in a few weeks)
Xavier Dolan (five)
James Gray (five)
Darren Aronofsky (six)

I'm almost there..

Paul Thomas Anderson (missing one)
David Fincher (missing one)
Christopher Nolan (missing one)
Kelly Reichardt (missing one)
Wes Anderson (missing three)
Quentin Tarantino (missing three)
Steven Spielberg (missing six)
Woody Allen (missing eight)

This is also a great time to point out that @Twan would be proud of me. I went from having had seen none of David Lynch's films to having seen every one of his feature films (including both seasons of Twin Peaks)!

MFW @Woody hasn't ran the board on his own name

Interested in Xavier Dolan. He gets a lot of love by this crew. Should I start chronologically or with Laurence Anyways?

 

Dec 3, 2014

I've Seen: Paul Thomas Anderson (except Inherent Vice, Not out yet) Kubrick, Charlie Chaplin, Sergio Leone, Woody Allen (Except Magic In The Moonligh, wich is not out), Tarantino, David Fincher & C. Nolan (New films premiere this weekend here), Pedro Almodovar & Coen Brothers.

My favorites are PTA & Leone, despite Leone has 1 s--- movie. I suggest you guys to check post 1997 Almodovar if you haven't, he's great.

 

Dec 3, 2014

it is

 

Dec 3, 2014

just do chronically or what is on netflix

 

Dec 3, 2014

I'd start chronologically, definitely, so you can see and appreciate his maturity as an artist.

 

Dec 3, 2014

See, I'm torn with this sentiment. If somebody wanted to be introduced to Kubrick, I'd say start with The Shining, Clockwork Orange, or 2001 and THEN the beginning. Have to hook them in.

 

Dec 3, 2014

Kubrick been out for a minute doe

 

Dec 3, 2014

Dolan has 5 films tho lol, and you can't even see his newest one yet.

 

Dec 3, 2014

I agree with @Dew and @Vahn.

It's different because Xavier Dolan is also entirely about his maturity as an artist (he started so young and it's really about seeing him evolve and grow his style). If someone was interested in Stanley Kubrick, I would never recommend starting from Fear and Desire. I Killed My Mother is arguably one of the best introductions into the work of a filmmaker and you'll see why as you go through his work.

 

Dec 3, 2014

Aronofsky, Nolan, Tarkovsky, Kieslowski, Bresson, Malick, Carax, Dardennes but one.., probably some others.

 

Dec 3, 2014

I've seen a lot of the same ones as you guys...PTA, Coens, Lynch, Malick, Aronofsky, Nolan, Dardennes, Tarantino. I'm about 3 or 4 away from completing Woody Allen's and if you don't count documentaries, I've seen each of Scorsese's features.

Haven't seen Panic Room or Alien 3 for Fincher and haven't seen Life Aquatic for Wes Anderson

Wrote a review, if you can call it that, on Godard's Histoire(s) du cinema:

Dec 4, 2014

all worth a watch except Alien 3

don't bother

 

Dec 4, 2014

Only Aronofsky and Tarantino comes to mind for me. Kubrick, Nolan etc. generally missing one or two movies. Following for Nolan; Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut for Kubrick, Panic Room, Gone Girl and Alien 3 for Fincher. And I've only seen Dolan's Mommy.

Project V with Ryan Gosling: previews seen in the first scenes of the film by Terrence Malick

During "Le Giornate professionali del Cinema 2014" held in Sorrento (Italy) from 30 November to 6 Decemebr we saw some sequences of the film.
From the short footage, we can guess that Ryan Gosling will star, an aspiring rock star. Around him gravitate two characters, one played by Michael Fassbender, who seems to be a business partner of Gosling, someone with whom the character can realize his musical ambitions. On the other side there is the character of Rooney Mara, who in the first part of the footage is clearly Gosling's woman and then seems to weave a clandestine relationship with Fassbender.
Around this love triangle gravitate two other women, Natalie Portman, in a novel blonde who seems to get in the good graces of Fassbender, while Cate Blanchett weaves his way with that of the character of Gosling.
Project V seems to be, for the style, similar to Knight of Cups, but takes over the discourse on '"hardening" of the rhythms that the director seems to have put in place in the film starring Christian Bale. Malick is measured by the world of rock, and automatically the themes and rhythms change and adapt. However, what Malick does is never an adjustment subservient to history, but a slow transformation, gradual and apparently motivated by what appear an artistic reasons. The story seems to come back to become important, to the detriment of what had happened in a rather extreme in The Tree of Life.
