[QUOTE="invitro, post: 215528, member: 446"] Well, I love all those guys bunches, but there's a whole lot of "auteurs" I don't care much for... Spielberg, Woody Allen, James Cameron, Ridley Scott, Tim Burton. And there's a lot of them who have only one movie I think is special... Scorcese, Chris Nolan, Fincher. I'm certainly on the art movie side, or just the art side, and I love a lot of what used to be called "cult movies." Movies that have something special, something original, and that try to be artistic at least a little bit. A lot of that kind of stuff is called "pretentious"... but it's very annoying to me that that word is used for two entirely different classes of stuff. The first is stuff that is boring and pedestrian and just copies older, true art... but then [I]demands [/I]that the audience call it art. It's very postmodern: it's art if I say it's art. Most Oscar nominees fall in this category. I loathe this kind of pretention. The other kind is stuff that the creators have actually put in a load of work and creativity to be art, and then let their work stand on its own. I love this kind of pretension, at least if it comes with a little bit of skill. I started my list from memory, but I was spending too much time on that, so I consulted the Sight & Sound list, the IMDb Top 250, and the Criterion collection (my tastes are very in line with that). So I'm sure I'm missing a lot of non-acclaimed movies that just don't jump into my memory quickly. I watched movies very seriously -- in theaters or as DVDs or VHS tapes with full attention paid -- for 20+ years, but I mostly just watch what's on TV/cable now while I play TPA or do something else on computer. I wonder if I'll get enough interest to get back into serious movie watching some day, and catch up on all those foreign and older classics that I've missed. Titan A.E. is special, but I think it's the only animated movie I care about. [/QUOTE]
