opsec warning for the thread: Letterboxd search feature was updated and it's now instantaneous to find a user's account based on their top four.

Guessing most people here shouldn't associate their Lbox account with themselves but should be careful before posting this info here.

  • The Human Condition, vol. 3 (the whole trilogy should be seen in order, but this part is peak)
  • Come and See
  • Ikiru
  • My Dinner with Andre

These movies are so good they are life-affirming. They fill me with a will to change and to live beautifully. All are politically conscious, to varying degrees, too. I really think anyone would get something out of watching them

I read the summary for The Human Condition 3 and it sounds depressing as hell

[–] HauntedBySpectacle@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I hope you didn't spoil yourself with a full summary

It's definitely bleak but the protagonist is an inspiring comrade and he finds purpose in his circumstances

What a list!

[–] Sylence@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

  • Stalker: untouchable masterpiece of cinema
  • 3 Iron: understated film about shared connection between social outcasts
  • Seventh Continent: probably the most depressing film ever made but also one of the most beautiful
  • Rosemary's Baby: a couple try desperately to have a baby, then equally desperately not to

3 iron is so good, it blew my mind how powerful and evocative a movie could be with barely any dialogue.

The Motorcycle Diaries made me cry multiple times when I saw it, it's absolutely fenomenal.

Howl's Moving Castle is just one of the most magical experiences I've ever had. I love this move to death 🥺

I'm rethinking spider man, but I remember being utterly impressed with it on an artistic level.

And well, Utena I can't do justice, it's just incredible after watching the anime.

Blade Runner 2049

Everything Everywhere All at Once

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Hot Fuzz

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Mad Max Fury Road

Serial Mom

Infernal Affairs

T2 Trainspotting

I dont think these are my absolute favourites, I have a lot of four and a half stars and admittedly I haven't watched a lot of the "classics"

[–] LisaTrevor@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

Mulholland Drive, Matrix Reloaded (I will defend this pick to the death btw), Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Mad Max Fury Road

[–] Weedian@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Jurassic Park, Mulholland Drive, Brick, Threads

[–] Sylence@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

You're the first person I've seen online to talk about Brick! Best modern noir film I've seen.
