Pedro Costa's intimate epic, In Vanda's Room

I'm planning to watch his films chronologically. Watched his debut so far.

I wasn't a big fan of O Sangue, it felt like a weak attempt at Bresson. I've been watching him chronologically, and I think he's gotten better with each film. Of his fiction features, I only need to see Colossal Youth and Horse Money. Unfortunately the latter doesn't seem to be available in any form yet

John Ford's best film of 1939, Young Mr. Lincoln

Pedro Costa's Colossal Youth

Eric Rohmer's first film, Berenice

A masterpiece by Chantal Akerman and a masterpiece by Hong Sang-soo, Jeanne Dielman and Virgin Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors

Godard's economic masterpiece, Nouvelle Vague

I wish I could properly convey the beauty of Godard's images but so much of them is in the movement of the images. While recent films I've seen like Colossal Youth and Jauja have stunning still imagery, even Godard's still images are moving.

Which ar your favorite Howard Hawks films, Bluedeed?

Aha! I remember seeing that list already. Thanks for reminding me, Camo!

Yeah, that's my ranking, I might consider moving The Big Sky up a bit but the rest is accurate to my feelings. I've seen over half of his films now, but I've still got some fairly major gaps to fill.

New set of some incredible images from Pedro Costa's Colossal Youth, Father and Sons

More images from Godard's Nouvelle Vague

Acting in Eric Rohmer's Pauline at the Beach

Leo McCarey's remake of his own Love Affair, An Affair to Remember

Woody Strode's existential and simultaneously physically real struggle in Sergeant Rutledge

John Ford's Stagecoach and The Quiet Man here

Ford begins with broad sweeping actions and then immediately thrusts forward to the intimate.

The all-encompassing, poetic pessimism of Jacques Tourneur's Canyon Passage

Love the Ford set(s).

That Stagecoach moment as I mentioned was a defining moment in watching Ford for me. I don't know what it is but over the last year I've become more emotional and maybe sentimental in watching films but I think it helps watching older films that would have perhaps have felt colder for whatever reason(s) before - for example, the ending of Casablanca I liked the first time but enjoyed and found really powerful the second time, in the same way Singin' in the Rain has gone from good to masterpiece in my opinion. But this moment in Stagecoach gave me goosebumps, it really threw me into the movie and told me I was being introduced to an iconic character, film and most importantly director. The moment from The Quiet Man was also great.

It's a shame I haven't seen a lot of these films otherwise I'd comment more, really interesting work
