I just read an overview of it. I think some kinds of art needn't be created.

As it turns out, this is one of the two that I watched after being recommended in the thread. I loved it.

I saw these two, but you are listing my favorite movies of all time. If you have such similar taste in movies, then I bet I'll love whatever you name that I haven't seen.

Not a specific film, but the German Expressionists produced some amazing films. I have to wonder what would have become of the German cinema industry were it not for the war. Some exceptional films. Faust, The Golem, Nosferatu, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Metropolis, The Last Laugh, and Sunrise (which Murnau filmed after emigrating to Hollywood), are some of the highlights.

Yah =D, I'll get back to you later once I've thought about it, but one film that immediately jumps to mind, and I cant believe i left it off my initial list is 'Last of the Mohicans', it has absolutely epic music at the end (if you like the tune, maybe after the film, listen to the Scottish military tattoo version (with good sound =P), bloody epic!, the song is called the gael/promontory (there are different versions/adaptations, it was adapted for the film))

Wow. You sure have an esoteric set of movies to recommend. (I read your earlier post in this thread too.) These movies were all rated very high too.

If you want to go esoteric, add The Blue Angel (1930). While you are looking for classics, add Hitchcock's Notorious.

Good choices*. Only last week,I rewatched Hitchcock's 'Lifeboat' (1944); highly recommended. I also recommend one of his 'minor' films, "Rope" (1948)

Quote:Rope is a 1948 American thriller film based on the play Rope (1929) by Patrick Hamilton and adapted by Hume Cronyn (treatment)[2] and Arthur Laurents, directed by Alfred Hitchcock and produced by Sidney Bernstein and Hitchcock as the first of their Transatlantic Pictures productions. Starring James Stewart, John Dall and Farley Granger, it is the first of Hitchcock's Technicolor films, and is notable for taking place in real time and being edited so as to appear as a single continuous shot through the use of long takes.

"The Blue Angel" made a star of the rather boring Marlene Dietrich,mainly through the amazing lighting and brilliance of its director, Josef von Sternberg,who also carefully chose songs to suit Dietrich's very limited vocal range.

Troll hunter was fucking awesome. I was afraid to buy it but caught it on Netflix
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me

"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
