ueno_station54's Top Whatever of Whenever
Only recently started keeping a favourite films list again so I figured I could share it here as well. Probably won't be writing much (or anything) about any of the films since, if you've read any review I've ever written you'll know they're all exactly the same. No one wants to read that and I don't want to write it. Here goes!
#73. A Nymph of the Waves https://images.mubicdn.net/images/fi...mage-w1280.jpg Frederick S. Armitage 1900 <1m It's like 20 seconds. #72. Center Jenny https://www.artnews.com/wp-content/u...atingforms.jpg Ryan Trecartin 2013 54m Made me finally accept that I'm trans. Cool movie in its own right too. #71. Laura https://images.mubicdn.net/images/fi...mage-w1280.jpg Shūji Terayama 19749m The only good use of breaking the fourth wall. #70. River of Fundament https://media.vanityfair.com/photos/...ament-moca.jpg Matthew Barney 2014 5h52m If you're into Barney's bullsh*t, this is the most of it. #69. Tekkonkinkreet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/c...age-asset.jpeg Michael Arias 2006 1h46 One of the few holdovers from my lists from high school. The music still bonks. |
Re: ueno_station54's Top Whatever of Whenever
I like weird sh*t. Seems like a lot of weird sh*t will pop up here. I've already added a couple films to my watchlist. Good start. Seen only Tekkonkinkreet and think I may have heard of the Shuji Terayama film or maybe just Shuji Terayama. Apparently I've also heard of Matthew Barney because I know of the Cremaster Cycle... just didn't recognize the name.

It's Švankmajer.
#67. Big Drive https://images.mubicdn.net/images/fi...mage-w1280.jpg Anita Lebeau 2011 9m Wholesome af. #66. Duvidha https://media.newyorker.com/photos/6...dy-Duvidha.jpg Mani Kaul 1973 1h23m a e s t h e t i c #65. Midori https://pa1.narvii.com/5600/d6379d01...a5ee5b9_hq.gif Hiroshi Harada 1992 56m On second thought maybe don't watch this one. #64. Behindert https://lux.org.uk/wp-content/upload...Behindert.jpeg Stephen Dwoskin 1974 1h36m D'you kids like home movies and drone music? |
Re: ueno_station54's Top Whatever of Whenever
I've still not seen that particular Svankmajer flick, but I'll be sure to remedy that soon enough. The only other one from this set I've heard of is Midori, and I only that I've heard of it because it is on my 10,000 film watchlist on imdb. Duvidha is the most intriguing of the group. "Indian folklore ghost film" are words that make my hipster heart happy.

#63. First and Last Men https://badfeelingmag.com/wp-content...hann-3x2-1.jpg Jóhann Jóhannsson 2020 1h12m HUGE #62. Pas de Deux https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cc/e9...9a91943d47.png Norman McLaren 1968 13m They groovin' :dizzy: #61. Vanished! A Video Seance https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d7Pz-6mgS...%2BVoirrey.jpg Brian Catling & Tony Grisoni 1999 1h10m Mongoose. Mario Caiano1973 1h32m The noise this dude makes is like 10x more iconic than Bruce Lee's Dudley Murphy & Fernand Léger#59. Ballet Mécanique https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FMZxu9l0E3E/maxresdefault.jpg1924 19m Wild that music like this existed at the time. |
Re: ueno_station54's Top Whatever of Whenever
I'm not a huge Norman McLaren fan. Pas de Deux gets credit from me for trying to be something worthwhile, but I don't think it's amazing or anything. Of the handful of McLaren films I've seen, I prefer Neighbors, Lines: Vertical, and the wonderful Blinkity Blank. No McLaren film made my shorts list, but I still have quite a few to watch... someday.
Shanghai Joe is the type of film that I'll eventually get around to and not understand how I could have waited that long to see it... I hope. Ballet Mecanique is great. Some of those Dadaist films are hit or miss, but this one hits pretty hard. George Antheil did make some wild ass music for this... maybe. Wikipedia tells me the nature of the collaboration is mysterious, which is cool. Either way, film looks good, music sounds good. I dig it. |
#58. Inland Empire https://fourthreefilm.com/wp-content..._Empire_17.jpg David Lynch 2006 3h0m That Ballet Mechanique remake we were all waiting on. #57. Goodbye Mommy https://www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-conte...e-1280x600.jpg Jack Wedge 2019 13m The only good noir. #56. Suspiria https://static.rogerebert.com/upload...arper-2017.jpg Dario Argento 1977 1h39m Goblin:eek: Kimiyoshi Yasuda1966 1h24m An absolute unit. Ingmar Bergman1972 1h35m It has both of those things. |
#53. Notre Dames des Hormones https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dhmCE6zkD...fHormones1.jpg Bertrand Mandico 2015 31m Greasy. #52. Donkey Skin https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/...xMTk@._V1_.jpg Jacques Demy 1970 1h30 Like the previous film but not greasy. #51. Happy Hour https://images.newrepublic.com/948ad...5f3c18963.jpeg Ryusuke Hamaguchi 2015 5h17m The most aggressively normal film I've ever seen. #50. George Dumpson's Place https://iv1.lisimg.com/image/7674606...screenshot.jpg Ed Emshwiller 1965 8m Just Mr. Dumpson's humble abode. #49. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World https://25yearslatersite.com/wp-cont...3MzQ@._V1_.jpg Stanley Kramer 1963 2h43 lol. |
#48. Hana and Alice https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0c/e2...ca716ed8d3.png Shunji Iwai 2004 2h15m More anime than any actual anime film on this list. #47. The Infernal Cakewalk https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...03%29.webm.jpg Georges Méliès 1903 5m Every Black Sabbath song. #46. When Black Birds Fly https://www.weareindiehorror.com/wp-...0-00-00-23.jpg Jimmy ScreamerClauz 2016 1h45m ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #45. N.Y., N.Y. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__bhU7wKBFS...ap-2034948.png Francis Thompson 1957 15m Lenses. How the f**k do they work? #44. Black Christmas https://cdn.canadianfilmday.ca/wp-co...s_1200x600.jpg Bob Clark 1974 1h38 The second best film from 1974 with "Black" in the title. |
#43. Black Belt Jones https://opuszine.us/_assets/reviews/...belt-jones.jpg Robert Clouse 1974 1h27 And this is #1. #42. The Man Who Stole the Sun https://a.ltrbxd.com/resized/sm/uplo...g?k=868d300b37 Kazuhiko Hasegawa 1979 2h7m Breaking Bad but with nukes instead of meth. #41. Himizu https://inreviewonline.com/wp-conten...u-1080x566.jpg Sion Sono 2011 2h9m Man, Sono's really good when he feels like it. #40. Labyrinth of Cinema https://inreviewonline.com/wp-conten...h-1080x610.png Nobuhiko Obayashi 2019 2h59m Easily the worst of Obayashi's last three films (spoilers). #39. Window Water Baby Moving https://imagejournal.org/wp-content/..._thumbnail.jpg Stan Brakhage 1959 13m It has all four of those things. |
Re: ueno_station54's Top Whatever of Whenever
Finally some interesting top. Almost too hipster for its own good. Do you have a Letterboxd account or was I trippin'?

Noriko's Dinner Table http://www.gruemonkey.com/wp-content...n-hell_2-1.jpg Sion Sono 2005 2h39m Lifted my username from this. |
I love Suspiria and Window Water Baby Moving. I need to see the Obayashi film soon, because Obayashi is a legend. Wolf House looks terrifying. Sono is another director I desparately need to check out. Melies was awesome, don't think I've seen that one though. Black Christmas is good, but I don't really love it. I could see growing appreciation with rewatches later on, but as far as films where the killer makes phone calls go: The New York Ripper. Black Belt Jones looks fun. I'd love to see Happy Hour, but it takes five happy hours to see it. Notre Dames des Hormones looks like something I'll either love or not get at all. Inland Empire and Cries & Whispers are films that I will eventually see because I got big respect for Lynch and Bergman.

Good thread. Probably seen less than half of what is listed here, but I like everything I have.
