To me, he’s the finest Altman since Nešvil.

Though, I suppose I really ought to revisit The Long Goodbye.

In my opinion, Life Aquatic is Anderson's best work yet, though I don't feel quite up to explaining why right here.😁

hiddencyclist2, you have disappointed me..

The first third is excellent, and the rest remains quite solid. While the storytelling is great, I still believe Zhang Yimou's absolute finest work was produced in the early nineties.

I believe what quietdriver3 is getting at is that Romero's Night of the Living Dead serves as a true stylistic turning point for the horror genre. It stands in stark contrast to most films from that era, lacking those overly stylized sets and dramatic lighting. Instead, it adopts a gritty, documentary-style approach—using on-location shooting and treating radio broadcasts and newspapers as central characters. Thematically, one can see influences stretching far beyond standard horror, much like the work of John Ford in films such as Stagecoach or Broken Arrow.

Please refrain from further comments.

Prince of Darkness is a true masterpiece; I find myself revisiting it almost every year, a habit I've kept for about a decade now.

I watched Village of the Damned quite a while ago and recall it being just mediocre, though perhaps it deserves a second look.

They Live starts off strong, but becomes truly excellent once the protagonist discovers the truth behind those glasses. It’s likely Carpenter's funniest work, if you count Dark Star.

In a way, yes.

In my opinion, Vampires is his only weak film.

Everything else is either good or absolutely superb.

I wasn't aware of that. What absolute idiots.

Wasn't that the same time they aired that other passion-filled drama instead?

Are these some new ways to describe poor direction and a pointless screenplay?

I think I'll pass on Life Aquatic.

I would personally suggest adding Kore-eda (he truly crafted one of the finest films of the nineties), Yimou (similarly talented), and Zvyagintsev.

It is wonderful that they remembered Terence Davis.

As for Mulholland Drive, the key is simply grasping the film's structure. It follows the same framework as White Hotel

Just typical Sundance Film Festival nonsense

George Washington isn't actually the best example of that. From a directorial standpoint—specifically regarding the editing—it’s quite weak.
A much stronger example would be Old and New, which was also part of that cycle. You can clearly see its influence extending far beyond cinema, impacting music videos and the broader landscape of visual arts.

In my view, Washington is by far his weakest film.

I’ve revisited quite a few of his TV movies from the seventies, and honestly, those remain his finest work. Especially 'Nuts in May'—that one song, "I want to go to the zoo," is just pure genius.
'Naked' was the last truly great one for me; I struggled to get through his more recent stuff because by the time I hit 'Secrets & Lies,' I was already feeling a bit burnt out.
With 'Topsy-Turvy,' the challenge isn't starting it, but rather finding the stamina to make it all the way to the end.

Let's get started

Money is a headache, just like women (Jackie Chan)

I watched this Japanese one, and I think it might be the film that actually defines the genre for me.

It isn't half bad, is it?

I am not quite sure how it slipped my mind; I'll take the blame, but here it is:

Every man for himself and God against all else.

Watch your scarf, Tatiana.
