Nausicaa, I give it bonus points of its soundtrack ... Other films include Howl's Moving Castle (best artwork if that is the right term), Castle in the Sky, etc. ... I find Porto Rocco funny Yes. I really liked Only Yesterday's soundtrack even though the songs aren't their own. Also a very underrated film. I feel Japan also makes good animated films outside of Studio Ghibli for the past decade and a half. Like your name, a silent voice, garden of the woods, etc Good studios and directors overall.

If I recall correctly, was it you who had recommend me some films on the anime thread? Edited June 30, 2021 by zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Grave of the Fireflies, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, The Wind Rises etc My neighbour Totoro is probably the best Ghibli film for me. Has something for both adults and children. Really like Kiki's delivery service too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something less fantasy oriented. Though I do like the fantasy themed movies as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Below showcases some brilliant framing techniques (from a photography perspective as well) in Stalker. If I am not wrong, many film students study the film for its cinematography: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched this movie 7 years ago when I was living in a deserted village alone in Karnataka temporarily to do an internship. Must say I could not sleep properly for nearly 2 weeks after listening to the Suspiria theme as the eerily lonely atmosphere of the village complemented the horror of the film's music.

The film also deals with supernatural so being alone can magnify the sensitivities to such topics ... When in school, I recall watching a film where there was a screen of a scary body emerging from the bathtub (can't recall the name of the film) and that made me not go to the washrooms. Used to watch horror films with blankets to hide at appropriate moments MechEng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prakat Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Leaving the classics and most popular world movies aside, I've recently been enjoying Netflix movies from different countries. The last I watched was one called Maktoub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
