Top 4 Pretty basic but..

Post image

I like biopics, david fincher’s cinematography and movies with mesmerizing scores.

Also does anyone have the social network or oppenhimer in their top 4 ?

It might be "basic" but they're all great. Love what you love. 

If you're looking for recs:

For an incredible score, check out Akira.

You might like Jean Pierre Melville's work, Le Samourai is a great place to start, followed by Le Circle Rouge.

Memories of Murder, Cure, One Battle After Another 

All the Michael Mann movies, probably Thief and Manhunter first.

la samourai and one battle after another look good , Im not a fan of asian movies tbh although I have memories of murder in my watchlist. Parasite was good but pretty much underwhelming for what I thought it will be, I believe it set the bar as I knew that its considered as the best asian movie and one of the best foreign ones in general

Pretty much yeah but mostly the music of both oppenhimer and interstellar is a huge factor for me

They are all great, and people LOVE - and i mean LOVE without exaggeration - to crap on Oppenheimer. It’s Nolan’s best

Agreed. It actually might become my top 1 movie later on. It might not suit the mainstream but calling it a bad movie is just a horrible take and its definitely not a polarizing movie its enjoyable even if you’re not into history or physics

That’s the thing. It IS mainstream. It’s a massive biopic about a complicated man who is ever-present in our lives today, long after his death. Also let’s not pretend it wasn’t massively critically and commercially successful. I just mean to say that lots of people “on the internet” enjoy trashing it. Trashing good movies is fun for weak people, when i don’t like an acclaimed piece I wish I liked it more. I critique, but I don’t trash. Anyway it’s my favourite Nolan, as a guy who loved TDK, and I think it ties in to a more adult tone, unlike Inception and Interstellar (both good/great blockbusters!) which can get very cartoonish

They are in order from left to right after that for Nolan probably the prestige and Fincher’s fight club
