iaafr what do you think about chunking express or other wong kar wai films

it's probably a product of the times and so much more media produced and consumed nowadays but older films usually have a bit more substance to them. doesn't make them better but they often leave a longer lasting impression on me

haven't watched, no opinion

my knowledge of films is extremely spotty in general

i liked chunking express and in the mood for love, would recommend either of them to everyone but i dunno how people feel about foreign or chinese film

I just like Amelie, tanpopo, charlie Kaufman films (except synecdoche), and the first half of gangs of new York

that's p much it the rest is trash

the only Chinese films I've watched are the ip man series (watchable but shallow but cool fighting ig) and Steven chow movies (Shaolin soccer and kung Fu hustle are both not as funny as people seem to think)

yeah goodfellas, raging bull, and casino all are very overrated imo

just kind of empty movies with no soul and nothing to say

I really love The Departed though that’s my favourite Scorsese movie, and Silence looks good

Monty python and the holy grail is legitimate trash. Space balls was horrible

Monty Python quoting is like

Best movie of all time is probably some movie in the scary movie series

haven't watched Spaceballs but haven't watched a single star wars film either

Yi Yi looks like a very good Chinese film I’ve been meaning to watch

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is great too

rush hour 2 was the best Chinese film

I was high when I watched it which would make you think it would be funny

I think Life of Brian is a lot better than the holy grail

Eurotrip is honestly up there in my list

I don’t think it’s trash I think it has a few really funny scenes and a lot of bad ones as well

I don't actually dislike the Monty Python movies, but the way the holy grail gets culturally treated

idk it triggers my contrarianness or some shit

yeah lol I understand

this is the best scene in the movie imo
