Discussion One Film soundtrack you can listen from start to end.

For me, it’s Barry Lyndon. The way it uses classical pieces like Handel's Sarabande and Schubert's Piano Trio No. 2 creates an incredible atmospheric experience from the first track to the last track. It feels like a complete journey rather than just a collection of songs. Especially I liked Sarabande.

Drop ur favourites below.

Love how trickster turns on Primus for Edward Furlongs character to listen to. Plus an old grunge band called TAD played throughout the movie. All in all I enjoyed this.

Discussion It’s been nearly 40 years since Hoosiers was first released in movie theaters. We were there opening night and I’ll tell you that everyone in the audience was so into it and we were all cheering. One of the greatest sports movies of all time… great cast, great acting and great soundtrack…

Discussion Do you wish to go back to the time before you became a cinephile?

0 Upvotes

I have seen too many movies and can distinguish between low and high quality, honestly I have become a bit blasé.

I can’t get excited for Avengers, Expend4bles, or Fast and Furious, basically most mainstream, popular movies.

Being a cinephile feels like being a specialty coffee aficionado who doesn't need (or even despises) extra sugar, whipped cream, caramel syrup, or other additives meant to enhance cheap coffee. You learn to appreciate the bare coffee for all of its intricacies and subtle notes.

Same as I used consider instant coffee and coffee mate as artisanal coffee I would think that Saw movies to be the epitome of filmmaking.

Discussion I just finished watching the 1982 movie “The Entity”. Released in 1982 in The United Kingdom and then released in 1983 in The United States. The Entity in my opinion is a very intriguing and a chilling supernatural horror film. If you’re into supernatural horror this is a good watch.

You Can See Everything is well worth watching

Post image
155 Upvotes

I just saw You Can See Everything and my first reaction is I've never seen anything quite like it. It's 3 hours long, but almost completely engrossing. I promise you, you don't know where it is going. If you're looking for something bashing some rich asshole fraudster, this isn't it. I think most people have a propensity to look for heroes and villains in movies-I wish people luck with that in this movie. No spoilers here, but I hope to discuss this with others who have seen it once it has been out for a while.

Discussion Probably one of the most underrated movies ever

Post image
73 Upvotes

Just rewatched this movie for the first time in a couple of years, and man, I forgot how good it is. I watched it countless times as a kid because my parents used to watch it a lot, so it brings back some nostalgia. Honestly, I think this movie is incredibly underrated. I know it’s not historically accurate, but as a movie, I think it’s really good.
The cast is honestly insane, too. Clive Owen, Keira Knightley, Ioan Gruffuff, Mads Mikkelsen, and so many others. The characters are great, and the performances are amazing. It’s just an incredible cast all around.
What do you guys think of it?

The Towering Inferno is worth it. What 70s classic disaster

Post image
83 Upvotes

The Towering Inferno is one of my favorite 1970s classic disaster movies. Irwin Allen did a great and fantastic job producing it. It has stellar cast with great performances: Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Susan Blakely, OJ Simpson, Fred astaire, Jennifer Jones, Richard Chamberlain, Robert Vaughan, and Robert Wagner. The Practical Effects of the Fire was outstanding. Loved it. 8/10.

"American [noun]" movie titles

8 Upvotes

Many films set in the US use the "American [noun]" construct in their titles:

  • american beauty
  • american psycho 
  • american sniper
  • american underdog
  • american hustle 
  • american horror story
  • american pie
  • american ultra
  • american gangster
  • american splendor
  • american fiction
  • american graffiti 
  • american made
  • american history x

And there are many others. The degree to which the descriptor "American" really adds any meaning or specificity to the title is variable - sometimes it is central to the theme, in other instances it appears to only have aesthetic value within the title itself.

My question is, does this phenomenon exist in the films from other countries? Or is it a uniquely American Phenomenon? If so, where does it come from?

Discussion What's a movie you should love, but don't?

Post image
0 Upvotes

For me it's Into the Spider Verse. I love Spider-Man, I love animated movies, and I love Daniel Pemberton soundtracks, yet for some reason this movie never really clicked with me, and I'm struggling to put my finger on why. It's a good movie, but I guess it comes down to lack of rewatchability. At its core it's mostly a retelling of the typical Spider-Man origin story, but I struggled to really connect with the characters on an emotional level or have them stick in my mind. There's a lot going on in the movie and because it's short it's very fast paced as a way for younger audiences to get into it easier, and as such I find the movie is lacking in terms of having much of an emotional hook, or maybe it's just the pedestal that it's been put on. Best animated movie of all time? I don't see it.

As for my thoughts on its sequel, they're similar but a bit more complicated. I personally prefer it, even if it's not as good.

Which movie is this for you?


r/Cinephiles • • 2d ago

Discussion How surprised are you at Inde Navarrette's rapid rise? As and big fan of Superman and Lois I'm happy for her but Obsession really took things to another level. It just goes to show that never know what project will be that big break.
