Putting the Shawshank redemption, The Godfather and TDK at the top is infinitely more respectable than having something like Jeanne Dielmann which topped the The sight and sound poll critic list. Something which "real cinephiles" defended tooth and nail.

At least, I can tell the guys who enthusiastically voted TDK and Shawshank most likely watched the films, genuinely enjoyed them and as a result voted for them. Unlike, a certain crowd who watch certain films because they top certain lists and then heap them with praise in order to fit in.

Jeanne Dielmann topped the main list but it was much further down in the Directors list where they won't care about appeasing political groups. Just pay attention to that list instead

Excuse me, I'll have you know that my enjoyment of fricked-up and weird movies stems from my own mental illness and not a desire to seem smart, thank you very much. :marseyindignant:

>Jeanne Dielmann

:marseyreading:

Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles is a 1975 film written and directed by Belgian filmmaker Chantal Akerman. It was filmed over five weeks on location in Brussels, and financed through a $120,000 grant awarded by the Belgian government. Wikipedia

lol, no thanks! :marseyno:

I've seen more than enough government-subsidized Euroslop. :marseychonker2:

A lonely widowed housewife does her daily chores, takes care of her apartment where she lives with her teenage son, and turns the occasional trick to make ends meet. However, something happens that changes her safe routine

Sounds awful. :marseykino:

And the bulk of the discussion around this movie is about whether she was justified in killing the guy she was having s*x with(because buying s*x with money is r*pe!), whether the murder was liberating or spiralling.

The Sight & Sound poll was another example of identity politics and tokenism taking precedence after 2012 when the last list released. Letterboxd used to be where the best taste and cinephiles rated movies until the Eternal September we call the Twitter exodus. Now most of the top movies of all time on there are capeshit, identity-related films, and overrated foreign films. Everyone wants to analyze art analytically like a science now and focus on looking at top lists, making charts of their favorite movies, and seeeing what the consensus is but they'll never take the time to rewatch their favorites or to genuinely enjoy them.

Paul Schrader and Armond White even disliked the Jeanne Dielmann inclusion for this reason:

The Godfather and even TDK I can understand, but Shawshank Redemption? Literal sunday afternoon melodrama, it's not bad but very vanilla.

Get Out is only pretentious if you are literally r-slurred, the movie is not really trying to hard to hide it's messaging & it is not especially deep

Beau Travail

Seconded. Travesty of a film. At least one from Tarkvosky, Lynch and Wong-Kar Wai. I don't even dislike these three filmmakers (though having multiple films by these guys make the top 100 is a bit much) but they seem to attract the worst kind of cinephile who say banal shit like,

"Cinema is like a visual medium. It's all about the vibes man. It's like a transcendental experience, especially on LSD bro". :marseyeyeroll:.

Cuarón's “Roma” was super pretentious (in comparison Kenneth Brannagh's “Belfast” was good and basically “Roma” done in a right way)

Anything by Goddard

God, Roma was so boring and pointless. I've got a cinephile friend, so he loved it, but good god. It's such a pointless film.

Most of my dislike for this "genre" is simply because I can't stand how rich people in the cinema business romanticize poor people. It's like they haven't gotten over their socialist claptrap phase.

I compared it with Belfast because both directors attempted something similar with different approaches.

Cuáron grew up in Roma, an upper-middle class neighborhood in Mexico City. So in the film he's supposed to be one of the kids but he's telling a fictional story about his maid. A lot “class guilt” displayed.

In Belfast we on the other hand we follow the kid's (Kenneth Brannagh) story. He grows up in a good nurtured loving family during “The Troubles”, his childhood shelters him from what's going on around until it becomes too evident and his parents decide to leave. I felt that one had a soul unlike “Roma”.

You know those motivational videos on youtube that you probably find very cheesy but has tens of millions of views because it gets guys pumped up at least temporarily? Shawshank is the film equivalent of that.
