Satantango

2001: A Space Odyssey
Seven Samurai
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Out 1: noli me tangere
Celine and Julie Go Boating
Thanks, you have great taste yourself. Bela Tarr is without a doubt my favorite living director (with the exception of Scorsese). Also, how the hell did you find Out 1? Rivette is so hard to find, even on netflix.Quote:

Based on the movies I watch, you can kind of guess I'm young ^^;
I would agree with pretty much all of this list as being among the greatest films ever made, especially Tokyo Story, Citizen Kane and Greed which, if you haven't read the book on which it is based ( McTeague by Frank Norris) I suggest you might find it worthwhile. Von Stroheim almost bankrupted the studio in making the film which he wanted to be as close to the novel as a film could be. Both the book and the film are monuments to their respective art forms.Quote:

His Foolish Wives is also a masterpiece and while not being as immense as Greed, is still as biting a satire on post-WWI European society as you can get.Quote:
