exactly what im saying

its just something i cant get past, and its why i aint no film head i guess. i just know its all acting. and imo they didnt really get how to make things flow back then, didnt feel very real.

theatre is the worse thing ever for this imo btw. the cringe levels are just unreal, most pain ive ever been in is when my mom/aunties dragged me to productions in landan. i think this is why i hate a lot of those old black and white movies cus they remind me of plays

classic poor people talk

people in plays are even worse

my music department at college was next to the acting bit and the people were the worst people ive ever met as a group

THE SHOW TUNES, PLEASE NOT THE SHOW TUNES

all day. closest i came to gbh tbf

I saw There will be blood last night and I can understand why that'd be in contention

Lewis is HUGE in it

still, Monty Python > nearly everything imo


ezza, you should watch Eraserhead while sufficiently blended, you might finally start to like black&white

Well Ken Loach is STILL trying to show the world what british poverty is about, like he's been doing for 50 years. And Mike Leigh's still around

whats Loach's best film in yo opinion Nick? yet to check him out

To be honest Eric you probably don't like black and white films because it's too much like reading a newspaper when there's no colour

I don't mean to sound like a total dick saying this, but are you sure you haven't just been watching utter waste?

maybe

but i googled 'black and white best films' to link shit for wolf and everything i clicked was how i imagined :/

Yeah that's why I asked him to name these films.

Like there's plenty shitty older movies. He could be watching the equivalent to the brainless not at all believable mainstream pap we have now just from 70 years ago rather than what is considered to be important moments in cinematic history or some of the films made back then with more of an edge to them.

Wow really ? The Grapes of Wrath ? On The Waterfront ? Sunset Bvd ? I mean granted, a lot of B&W movies aged like milk, but some of them are the real definition of timeless. And there's a certain appeal to watching films with less post-prod/effects value than today's movies: You can put your focus on the acting, the writing, the camerawork... What actually matters in a film.

I still think the cab scene in On The Waterfront wouldn't have happened if they had today's technology in 1954, and I still think it's one of the greatest pieces of acting ever. Everything is flawless

Shane Meadows almost makes up for it. And every actor in both american and british television is from the uk at the moment. Like Martin Freeman playing a minesota guy in fargo or every other guy in the wire...

Kubric wasn't cryo frozen but apart from that it is still pretty healthy imo. ..

Starred up was pretty good for one ...

When it comes to Ken Loach, I'd have to say Sweet Sixteen, amazing film. Easily one of the best films released in the 00's.

After 15 hours watching the extended cuts of Lord of the Rings goddamn Jackson did such a job. The trilogy should be counted as one, it is up there with Refn for cinematography .

Enter the Void
The Prophet
Dogtooth
Cave of Forgotten Dreams
Adam & Paul
Micmacs
Sideways
Zero Charisma
Dead Man's Shoes
Four Lions
Kill List
