That one movie in a director's filmography that you haven't seen
- Thread starter Man with Knife
- Start date
That's cool! I actually love both Grand Budapest and Astroid City. Some very well thought out blocking and production design to bolster some of the loftier themes he's been playing around with.
Also Lynch but with The Straight Story. I love that Lynch made a G rated Disney film but I've just never found time to watch it.
Inland Empire is a much watch for any Lynch fan but it's definitely not an easy watch. It's a deeply disturbing and unsettling film. Probably a 'one and done' for most people.
I was OP and several others in this thread where I saw every Kubrick movie, but Barry Lyndon. I watched it a couple of years ago and I now say with confidence it is my favorite Kubrick movie. It is an impressionist painting in motion. I find it crazy that it is so enjoyable because Barry Lyndon, the character, not the movie itself, kinda sucks. It is a slow burn and rarely ever boils over, but the times it does it's electric.
Don't just take it from me. There are several interviews (and even a whole Masterclass) where Martin Scorsese raves about it:

It's as bad as it is confusing. Feels top down like no one has a clue what they're supposed to be making.I've never seen Robert Altman's Quintet starring Paul Newman. It has one of the most confusing trailers and the only footage from it I've seen makes it look like Altman made the movie on the Hoth set in between takes of Empire
Quintet (1979) Trailer
In 1979, Robert Altman set out to create his passion project. This passion project was entitled Quintet, A sci-fi flick set in a post-apocalyptic world coat...
That's good to hear, I constantly flip flop between feeling like I should make myself watch it to see if there is anything redeeming there but it seems like such a slog I just can't ever bring myself to do it
I love Fincher and haven't seen Panic Room, The Game, or Gone Girl even though I own all 3.
I like Nolan, and own Inception on Blu Ray...but haven't gotten around to watching it. (It was a gift)
I slept on Jackie Brown for years cause I'd not heard much praise for it, but gave it a shot one day and it's probably my favorite Tarantino movie. Certainly the one I've watched the most.

This and ...
This. I'd like to see where my favorite directors started out, but "low budget black and white movie" or a "college project where the alien is a beachball" are hard sells for movie night.
OP
OP
Now that Christopher Nolan has been mentioned a few times, I totally forgot about him. Seen all of his movies except Interstellar, all of them in theaters too (except Following).
If you got an IMAX nearby I'd recommend waiting until this fall to see it in theaters (preferably a 70mm IMAX if possible). Easily his best IMAX movie.
I honestly thought the plot wasn't really convoluted despite what some people have said.
It's a very James Bond inspired spy movie that happened to have some sci-fi time stuff.
My issue was that I just found it kinda boring.
Elephant Man is easily one of Lynch's best films. Same goes for the Coen brothers and The Big Lebowski
Fairly recent in his filmography but haven't seen Silence yet.
Silence is my favorite Scorsese movie. So oddly meditative despite the brutal subject matter. It really transports you to that place and time and also doesn't take any easy sides, and though sympathies in the film lie one way, it struck me as relatively balanced and as beautiful as it is harsh with its imagery.
I actually got around to watching it a few months ago after your recommendation and I quite enjoyed it.
I've never seen Eyes wide shut.
I've never heard anyone ever insist I should see it, and the concept is not very interesting to me.

I hated mother! and felt the same. The whale was ok, elevated by Fraser's performance but otherwise not worth going out of your way to see.
I still haven't seen Tokyo Godfathers, even though I've seen the rest of Satoshi Kon's films. Mostly I just don't want to not have anymore of his films left.
Not a 'single' film, but I'm also missing Blade II and Mimic from Del Toro, which feels egregious to me. I imagine I'll leave one behind for the same reason as Tokyo Godfathers, but at least he's still around to make more movies.

It's pretty great. Probably just shy of being a top 5 Kubrick film
That's not particularly hard considering he only made 13 films.
It's nothing like that. Eyes Wide Shut really goes places and wants you to jog behind it and then meet up, wherever you meet up.
I have fallen out of love with every Tarantino I ever saw, except for Jackie Brown. It's not just my favorite QT, it's the only one I consider worth my time anymore.
I dropped off after Django, so not sure about later ones, but I feel like JB has the fullest most complete characters, closest to feeling like humans, not an amalgam of fun comic-book traits and one-liners.
Lynch's The Straight Story. He's my favorite living director but I've been completely cold on watching it. Maybe one day.
