gonna cook up my rivette list after rewatching paris nous appartient tomorrow. remember having a hard time with the film but now almost 2 yrs later he’s def one of my faves and I find them much easier to watch.

stagecoach too classic and mold-forming for anything less than 5

otherwise

Stagecoach aint hit me as hard as i expected. But i will revisit soon

Rainer Fassbinder atm

1. World on a Wire
2. Lola
3. Veronika Voss
4. The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant
5. The Marriage of Maria Braun
6. Ali: Fear eats Soul
7. Fox and his friends
8. In a year with 13 Moons
9. Chinese Roulette
10. Love is colder than death
11. The Merchant of the four seasons
12. Why does herr r. run amok?

World on a Wire did the least for me of almost any Fass very unappealing

This changed a lot since November

Nostalghia
Stalker
Sacrifice
Rublev
Ivan’s Childhood
Solaris
Mirror

Need to rewatch The Mirror tho, didn’t understand s*** from that film when I watched it a year ago.

I loved it. A rewatch is due though once I've watched all the remaining Fassbinder films on my watchlist.

Alejandro Jodorowsky

1 - The Holy Mountain (1973)
2 - Dance Of Reality (2013)
3 - Santa Sangre (1989)
4 - Endless Poetry (2016)
5 - El Topo (1970)
6 - Psychomagic (2019)
7 - Fando Y Lis (1968)
8 - The Rainbow Thief (1990)
9 - Tusk (1980)

1-3 are (near) perfect

4-5 are amazing

6-7 are good/okay

8-9 trash, only for completionists and fanboys like myself

Fellini (a very talented but mostly much too self-indulgent director- little to say but he has an interesting way of expressing his visions nonetheless)

Nights of Cabiria 10
La dolce vita 9.5
8 1/2 9
Satyricon 8.5
La Strada 7.5
Juliet of the Spirits 7.5
Amarcord 7.5
Roma 7
Il bidone 7
White Sheik 7
I vitelloni 7
Variety Lights 6.5
Intervista 6.5
And the Ship Sails On 6.5

it's called Zerkalo and it's pure zenith, easily his best for me

Apparently a rewatch helps if you weren't blasted on shrooms the first time though

Who said I was blasted on shrooms the first time I saw it

Also you named it Zerkalo in another thread and I thought it was a whole different film entirely. Couldn't find it

No I'm saying I was high as f*** the first time I saw it about 7 years ago and i immediately put it near the top of my all time list

O lmao, might try it myself then

Jacques Rivette

1. La Religieuse (1966)
2. Out: 1 (1971)
3. Céline et Julie vont en bateau (1974)

5. Duelle (1976)
6. Haut bas fragile (1995)
7. Jeanne la Pucelle (1994)
8. Noroît (une vengeance) (1976)
9. Paris nous appartient (1961)
10. Le Pont du Nord (1981)
11. L'Amour fou (1969)
12. Merry-Go-Round (1981)

David Cronenberg

1. Crash
2. Videodrome
3. Cosmopolis
4. The Fly
5. eXistenZ
6. Dead Ringers
7. A History of Violence
8. Maps to the Stars
9. The Brood
10. Naked Lunch
11. Eastern Promises
12. Scanners
13. The Dead Zone

Clint Eastwood

1. The Bridges of Madison County
2. Honkytonk Man
3. White Hunter, Black Heart
4. Letters from Iwo Jima
5. A Perfect World
6. American Sniper
7. Bird
8. Unforgiven
9. Flags of Our Fathers
10. Richard Jewell

11. Million Dollar Baby
12. Sudden Impact
13. The 15:17 to Paris
14. Sully
15. Mystic River
16. Hereafter
17. Gran Torino
18. The Mule
19. J. Edgar
20. True Crime

21. Jersey Boys
22. The Gauntlet
23. Absolute Power
24. Blood Work
25. Space Cowboys
26. Heartbreak Ridge

I haven't watched a bunch of these but I'd have thought million Dollar baby and mystic River will be top 5. Either he's making some Dope ass films or our taste is different

M. Night Shyamalan

1. Unbreakable
2. The Happening
3. The Village
4. The Visit
5. Glass
6. Split
7. Lady in the Water
8. The Sixth Sense
9. Signs

It'd probably help if you knew how i rated the films in that list tbh:

1-6 = 5 stars

7-15 = 4.5 stars

16-23 = 4 stars

24 & 25 = 3.5 stars

26 = 3 stars

So Million Dollar Baby and Mystic River are for sure among my top tier Clint films.

But if you haven't watched a bunch of the films in that list, especially any in my top 5, then you definitely should soon because he has indeed made a ton of dope ass films.

To me everything on there except Heartbreak Ridge is great at the very least

I posted this in the Gaspar Noé thread already but might as well post it here too

1 - Climax | 10/10
2 - Enter The Void | 10/10
3 - Irréversible | 9/10
4 - Lux Æterna | 8/10
5 - Love | 8/10 (ok this one might be very controversial)
6 - I Stand Alone | 7/10

Might not be for every one but i personally think he's one of the best at creating immersive audiovisual experiences of all time

Pedro Costa

1. Cavalo Dinheiro (2014)
2. Colossal Youth (2006)
3. In Vanda's Room (2000)
4. Ossos (1997)
