1. Top 5 films 2. Last film you saw that left a significant impact, and why 3. Top 3 directors, and why 4. Do all of the above
Me: last film that left an impact = pic-related.
It was the most palpable portrayal of depression I've ever seen, and unlike so many films that center around the subject, not once did it seem contrived or angsty. Also, it instilled in me a deep-seated fear of celestial bodies.
I can't remember the last 5 of anything I've ever done.

1 TDKR, The Raid, Dirty Harry Magnum Force, Master and Commander 2 Hardcore Herny, it was very fun and showed how much a movie can be when everyone does their best for it 3 >caring about directors
Andrew Wood
A couple of those films were decent, but top 5?? Jesus
I gotta see Hardcore Henry. I've heard good things.
Why wouldn't you?
Jayden Jones
The 2 hour blooper reel after the plane crash is not part of the movie.
If your favorite movie is about depression or some other shit, I don't think you get to get to complain.
Adrian Lee
That's not my favorite movie, tho. It would be in my top 10.
1. 2001: A space oddessey 2. Fanny and Alexander 3. Andrei Rublev 4. Diary of a Country Priest 5. The Godfather 6. Melancholia 7. Barry Lyndon 8. Doctor Zhivago 9. The Piano Teacher 10. Punch Drunk Love
Gabriel Johnson
Jesus fuck, I butchered odessey kek
Nicholas Anderson
Odyssey. I need to stop drinking
Benjamin Turner
I saw the second half of 2001, it was just effects that weren't even good for the time. The horse scene of Andrei Rublev was symbolic: alluding to a quick, decisive attack by slowly killing a horse. Andrei has a talent for seeing things the opposite of what they are.

Lincoln Thomas
opinion discarded Discarding of opinion intensifies. Literally 100% of film critics would disagree.
So, he'd think you have good taste?
Nicholas Clark
I didn't watch Punch Drunk in the sense that it was shit and didn't finish it. But thinks for agreeing with me about Andrei.

What is your answer to #2?
Easton Nelson
Top directors in no particular order
Wong Kar Wai Peter Greenaway Alejandro González Iñárritu Lukas Moodysson Lars von Trier
It's been a while since I saw a movie that really left an impact. The last movie I saw in the cinema was Nocturnal Animals. I liked it a lot.
I don't really get why everyone likes Blade Runner. One of the most overrated movies ever imo.
Austin Morales
I heard that Nocturnal Animals was too stylish and contrived (Tom Ford: high fashion). You didn't feel that way?
Leo Ramirez
I like Tom Ford's style although I can see why others might not.
Landon Fisher
I thought A Single Man was pretty good. Nocturnal Animals is definitely on my list.
Have you seen The Duke of Burgundy? If you like Ford, I think you'd really dig it
Nathaniel Turner
I haven't seen it. Looks interesting. I have to check it out. Thanks.
I thought A Single Man was better than Nocturnal Animals, but I definitely recommend seeing NA too.
Parker Gutierrez
The Red Spectacle is actually Live Action
Last film I saw that left a significant impact and why
I think this film out of all I've seen does the best at showing the fact that even after you grow up monsters don't disappear from the world they just chance their appearance. The closet movie to this that gave me the same type of vibe was Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory.
I love Blade Runner because 1. It's based off of a Philip K. Dick book 2. Riddley Scott's visual production in the movie is great 3. Harrison Ford does his best performance in this movie in my opinion
Evan Myers
Pan's Labyrinth was an absolute masterpiece. Hopefully Del Toro continues his upward streak after Crimson Peak.
Leo Ortiz
Btw, why did Pan's Labyrinth give you a similar vibe as Paths of Glory?
Isaac Ramirez
I saw Paths of Glory when I was relatively young (like 15ish I think) and I really empathized with Kirk Douglas' character about the just total disregard the officers had towards the enlisted men and I felt like Douglas' character really had a sort of awakening that maybe the Germans weren't the true enemies in that movie maybe his superiors were. I got kind of the same feeling about the young Girl in Pan's Labyrinth were everyone was telling her monsters and fairy tales aren't real and then as the movie goes on she realizes that monsters are real they are just other people. at least that's how I took the films
I loved Crimson Peak I really wish that sort of Gothic Horror would make a come back.
Cameron Garcia
Very interesting connect between Pan's and Paths. Accurate.
If you haven't seen Penny Dreadful, I'd highly recommend it.
