Interesting list. This author's incredulous introduction is most unwelcome. If you want to make a list go for it friend but this is someone else's list. If you want a perfectly ordered prestige fest there's AFI, IMDB and many other places you can find that.
Personally, I'd have no problem watching Barry Lindon over Clockwork any day of the week. And of course there's no Ozu on there. The two had a long standing beef. Kurosawa was proud as f**. Even if "Floating Weeds" is a work of pure melodramatic genius in which every shot is perfect, it's not making a list by Kurosawa.
- dfxm12 6y agoCheck the list again: 27. Banshun [Late Spring] (Ozu, 1949) Japan
- DubiousPusher 6y agoNo shit! I guess all Ozu was not too bland for Kurosawa's taste. Really beautifully shot movie too but I guess all Ozu is.
- kinghtown 6y agoI actually find his colour films to be incredibly charming. Really Tokyo Story is the only green tea on rice film of his. still excellent but one could be in for bit of a surprise if they only watched that by Ozu.
- DubiousPusher 6y agoYes, my first Ozu was Floating Weeds and it has remained my favorite because of the heartfelt drama and the vibrant beauty of the color photography. Not bland at all of course.
- kinghtown 6y agoA great pick BTW by Kurosawa.
- abecedarius 6y agoBarry Lyndon may be slow-paced, but it's the Kubrick I'd pick too. Just don't come to it as a Hollywood movie.
- ghaff 6y agoIt was an incredible technical accomplishment at the time. These days, with digital, low light basically isn't an issue. If forced, I'd probably still pick A Clockwork Orange among Kubrick's works although perhaps 2001 is more iconic.
