Prakat Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 have u senn through a glass darkly? Haven't gotten around to seeing that yet. Another classic is hour of the wolf. Pretty impressed to see so many legends speak of him as their inspiration. Woody Allen referred to Bergman as "probably the greatest film artist, all things considered, since the invention of the motion picture camera." Francis Ford Coppola stated: "My all-time favorite because he embodies passion, emotion and has warmth" Guillermo del Toro stated: ãergman as a fabulist my favorite is absolutely mesmerizing. Todd Field stated: "He was our tunnel man building the aqueducts of our cinematic collective unconscious." Krzysztof Kieślowski stated: "This man is one of the few film directorsÃÑerhaps the only one in the worldÃÕo have said as much about human nature as Dostoevsky or Camus." Stanley Kubrick stated: "I believe Ingmar Bergman, Vittorio De Sica and Federico Fellini are the only three filmmakers in the world who are not just artistic opportunists. By this I mean they don't just sit and wait for a good story to come along and then make it. They have a point of view which is expressed over and over and over again in their films, and they themselves write or have original material written for them." Ang Lee stated: "For me the filmmaker Bergman is the greatest actor of all..." Eric Rohmer stated: "The Seventh Seal is 'the most beautiful film ever'" Paul Schrader stated: "I would not have made any of my films or written scripts such as Taxi Driver had it not been for Ingmar Bergman. What he has left is a legacy greater than any other director. I think the extraordinary thing that Bergman will be remembered for, other than his body of work, was that he probably did more than anyone to make cinema a medium of personal and introspective value." Martin Scorsese stated: "I guess I'd put it like this: if you were alive in the 50s and the 60s and of a certain age, a teenager on your way to becoming an adult, and you wanted to make films, I don't see how you couldn't be influenced by Bergman. You would have had to make a conscious effort, and even then, the influence would have snuck through." Steven Spielberg stated: "His love for the cinema almost gives me a guilty conscience."

Let's see, watch the bicycle thief and other desica movies, rashomon and other kurosawa films, 400 blows and other truffaut films, wrath of aguirre and other herzog films, closer home ray, ghatak, benegal. Fellini can be started with amarcord or nights of cabiria. Renoir with rules of the game, lean with a brief encounter, and then there are the makhmalbafs, kiarostami (through the olive trees) majidi (children of heaven) and panahi (the mirror). So many more, but this will keep you going for a while :)

Zelig Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 My favorite Kubrick's is A Clockwork Orange. Most of 'em would say Full Metal Jacket, but I like to differ. Clockwork... was well ahead of its times and the ambience created in the movie is pure brilliance. :hatsoff:
Nova Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I saw Shawshank Redemption again and got teary eyed in the end.

I've seen a few :D Make sure you don't miss the early kubricks, like the killing and paths of glory. And if you really dig kubrick, check out the flying padre and fear and desire if you can get your hands on them. :nice:

ganeshran Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I saw Shawshank Redemption again and got teary eyed in the end. That movie is a work of art. :hatsoff:
Zelig Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I saw Shawshank Redemption again and got teary eyed in the end. :icflove: It's funny how people like Shawshank and Pulp more than Gump and yet Shawshank didn't win a single Oscar. Gotta be one of the biggest Oscar snubs along with Goodfellas bowing out to Rocky for best picture. Edit: Pulp won an Oscar for screenplay :hatsoff:

Zelig Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 They made up for that with The Departed. Umm...they are yet to make up for Taxi Driver, The Raging Bull. Goes without saying, I like Scorsese :--D
maniac Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Umm...they are yet to make up for Taxi Driver' date=' The Raging Bull. Goes without saying, I like Scorsese :--D[/quote'] You forgot to add Casino....awesome Scorcese movie too....Sharon StoneB->
