am I missing something?

Stalker was a revelation. Wild to see a Christian film that incredible. Mirror is due for a rewatch because I still think it's the greatest shot film oat. only that the BW flashback scenes were so inscrutable and confusing to me

I thought you were joking lol i'm talking about actor John Garfield

Tarkovsky achieves a texture in his films I've never seen any filmmaker reach.

especially when youre always blasted on shrooms for a Tark night

nah I was serious lol, assumed you were talking about some actor I hadn't heard of but I could only think of Andrew Garfield

though Days of Heaven is basically a painting and is just as good as any Tark imo. and that ennio soundtrack may be my favorite oat

contenders for third place;

Archers
Dreyer
Kubrick
Polanski
Murnau
Coens
Keaton
Bergman
Hitch
Lang
Ford
Hawks
Sternberg
Malick
Mizoguchi
Miyazaki

glad you put Bergman there

need to watch more Mizoguchi. Sansho The Baliff was

Of course. He's got like half a dozen mega masterpieces and 15 more classics.

Forgot you haven't done Ugetsu that's my rec

Definite contender for the number one film of all time. I want to be the one that made you watch it.

Idk bout texture but I always thought Elaine May’s films looked something bout those 70’s streetlights and night shots.

He’s only got 7. I’d go through them whenever you can. You gotta save The Sacrifice for last. Hits much harder that way.

Need to get back into a Fellini kick. Other then Russ Meyer, he’s the greatest big titty loving auteur.

I think I've seen 5 of them. But yeah he's in his own lane "the very concept of genre is as cold as the tomb" always loved this quote from Tark which imo sums up his ethos as a filmmaker.

every fellini i've seen has been a masterpiece tbh

cliche at this point but that shot at 2:19 is unreal

What is Bresson’s genre? He doesn’t have one. Bresson is Bresson. He is a genre in himself. Antonioni, Fellini, Bergman, Kurosawa, Dovzhenko, Vigo, Mizoguchi, Buñuel—each is identified with himself. The very concept of genre is as cold as the tomb. And is Chaplin comedy? No: he is Chaplin, pure and simple; a unique phenomenon, never to be repeated.

meet Black Phillip aka Little Philly black little lost Halloween kitty needed a spooky name

I tried telling you about Amacord thats the tittiest one
