08.23.16 | Better than some Sput movie lists, 9s an all timer.
Tie Xi Qu's cool for trying to use length to get into the drudgery of experience, but it's also struck me as a cinephile ego film rather than a really great one |

08.23.16 | 10 is one of the few animated movies I still really enjoy. |

08.23.16 | i watched it in the three parts porcupine, which probably contributed to my enjoyment (am i cheating? not that i care but)
yeah the E stands for 'eternal' tbh!!! |

08.23.16 | Do you dig any other stuff from the contemporary contemplative cinema movement? |
Winesburgohio
08.23.16 | that just reminded me i forgot to add blissfully yours and cemetary of splendour r.i.p, other than these directors i don't really know enough to make an informed comment but i'm interested in exploring more! |

08.23.16 | I feel like you'd really dig Goodbye Dragon Inn (although every Tsai film is brilliant - The Hole is the weirdest musical I've ever seen), and then cross over a continent and jam with Satantango.
Props on the Apichatpong love, haven't gotten around to either of those ones yet, but Uncle Boonmee & Syndromes and a Century really scratched the itch |

08.23.16 | Blissfully Yours is stunning, would be jostling for top 10 space tbh. Ha Goodbye Dragon Inn is nestled in this list somewhere, he's fucking brilliant: vive l'amour is my favourite I think. Fucking hate Satantango (both the source material and the miserable, plodding film) though for some reason, just did not do it for me (and my username is based on a collection of stories about a depressed and failed small town so i thought it would be really right up my alley ha) |

08.23.16 | hell yes 1, and 17 is great but lol at 4 and 21. cool to see 12 here tho, that one's pretty underrated i feel. |

08.23.16 | bbc list is pretty legit. only thought of a few it was missing |
Winesburgohio

The Master rules |
Trebor.
08.23.16 | list is kinda what |
Winesburgohio
08.23.16 | list is consistent in quality and tone
yeah PTa is incredible and that's his opus, inherent vice came close and for some reason i thought punch-drunk love was 90's lmao |

08.23.16 | Inherent Vice is the funniest movie in a long ass time. |

08.23.16 | always sucks seeing films as straightforward, sensitive and genuinely curious as those of Wang Bing being described as cinephile ego films (or other variations), but i guess the unfortunate reality is that many people enjoy the idea of having seen Tie Xi Qu more than the film itself
attending some screenings of his films earlier this year (the two on your list + Three Sisters) was an unforgettable experience. Wang himself would've been present but was busy filming in China, and instead we got some information on this next project of his :) |

08.23.16 | never seen High School Musical III |
Havey
08.23.16 | watch it now or never |
owen
08.23.16 | MUBI has some nice obscure movies from time to time. You don't have to subscribe, just look for recommendations and watch the movies somewhere else |
Winesburgohio
08.23.16 | I didn't find Tie Xi Qu or Til Madness Do Us Part slogs at all (considering my woeful attn span, impressive): just genuinely beautiful, lilting and humane films where love and respect for the subjects seeps out of every shot. I feel like people get bogged down in analysis by the harrowing subject matter at the expense of noticing the tenderness that permeates his works: how uplifting that someone [I]cares[/I]
fuck i'm so jealous Havey, is three sisters good? fill me in - craig david |
Winesburgohio
08.23.16 | thanks owen, i'll check it out! and 0ltna bloody rectify this unforgivable lapse immediately cheers |
