Honestly, no foreign film ever sticks in some special part of my memory. It’s not like I have a mental catalog where, no matter what I’m talking about or thinking about, someone can just ask for a recommendation and I can instantly rattle off two or three titles.
I’ve watched a mountain of movies, loved a huge chunk of them, and I assume I’ll love even more in the future. For me, watching a movie is pure entertainment, not some high-brow art study. Don't get me wrong—I don't deny the skill or that specific spark of empathy (that emotional weight great directors use to bring their vision to life), but for me... that's really it. It's just... fine. 👍
Now, look, I know there’s plenty of garbage out there, but I’ve never quite "gotten" those artistic benchmarks people obsess over. And I don't mean this as a rant—I'm just saying it because I feel totally lost when trying to debate people who live for that hyper-critical, pretentious analysis! I just don't see movies that way. I don't care about the technical stuff either—you know, framing, editing, cuts, pacing, blah blah blah. I know what those things are, and I can tell when a movie is "visually stunning," but if you asked a third party to explain *why* a certain style of visual editing works, I wouldn't even know where to start! Not narratively, not script-wise. To me? Movies are just a blast. I am a total addict for cinema and video content. Basically, give me big-budget production and a well-told action epic any day.
Dramas and all that stuff? Sure, they're okay, they're fine. But an action epic always hits me harder than any other genre. Take something like 'The Spanish Apartment'... cool little flick. But something like Riddick's chronicles, or maybe Troy or King Arthur? Those are the films that stay burned into my mind visually. It's like a photographic memory.
If there's one thing I can really point to, it's those classic American cult comedies. Some of those old-school gems are just absolute madness!😂 🤣 😂 🤣
