ITT: homo film snobs of ilx recommend movies to ilx user plaxico (I know, Right?) based on the movies that i like

guys i almost never see any movies but lately i have been rewatching a load of my favourites instead of seeing new ones. I watched into the wild for the first time a couple days ago and it is fucking amazing imo.

Here r sum movies i like: Badlands, Happy Together, Marie Antoinette, Birth, Dazed and Confused, Effi Briest, Pierrot Le Fou, Safe, Motorcycle Diaries, Elephant
yeah so movies that r pretty and maybe sortof historical but that have nice clothes and not too much talking and hopefully an awesome soundtrack
also i like almost all lame movies abt painters lives like that pollock one

can i post here even though I'm hetero? Have you seen Love is the Devil - the Francis Bacon one?

Painters lives ... well, you should probably see Edvard Munch then.

Fur - the pseudo Diane Arbus biopic - is really pretty.

I also really like Portrait of Jennie, but only see if it you like golden age Hollywood-style filmmaking (albeit with a mystic undertone).

Barry Lyndon > Marie Antoinette imo, so if you haven't seen that, give it a try

Have you seen How to Draw a Bunny about Ray Johnston? Johnson? It's a documentary but it's pretty entertaining.

I want to see Fur! is it good, I fucking hate Diane Arbus but I'd prolly like this anyway!

yeah i saw love is the devil and that is spot on exactly the kind of thing I am thinking abt

Fur - It's surreal and retro-looking and very pretty to look at.

Love is the Devil - trying to remember whether the young boyfriend was super hot or just okay looking. Haven't watched it in a few years.

it doesn't have to b abt real life painters btw, even like romcomedys where 1 character is sposed 2 b a photographer r something i get really invested in whatevr the art dept threw 2gethr

boyf was daniel craig, not superhot normally and not as hot as realy dyer but pretty hot anyway!

the main character in CHUD is a photographer

that was Daniel Craig?

iirc

i'm gonna have to watch it again.

Uh - Downtown 81 has a great soundtrack - the story is pretty cheesy - great campy Debbie Harry performance

LOL!!!

this was prompted by me thnkng abt my ideal movie earlier today while @ work

it is a biopic of agnes martic focussing on her travels around the midwest during the 30's working as a teacher and with lots of shots of landscapes that anticipate her film gabriel and also the horizons of her paintings, agnes is played by maggie gyllenhaal maybe and soundtrack is half krauty new age muzick half sacred harp singing, v. little dialogue but maybe a moody voiceover that quotes the bible and Tao te ching

SOMEONE MAKE THIS MOVIE PLZ

one of my fave movies of all time btw:

also, no shit like this:

Wasn't going to recommend either. :)

Why, if i may ask, are you asking the homo film snobs and not the art snobs?

xp - that movie made me feel like a bad person.

doesn't HAVE to be abt painters haha!

Well then in that case, watch every movie by Brian De Palma.

not high brow at all, but actually pretty funny - Bucket of Blood - about a would-be sculptor - 50s b-movie with laughable stereotypical beatniks

ikr i watched why does herr r run amok last week and i'm still thinking about it but i'm afraid most people would hate it. maybe you'd like it though. it's just very "me" :/

ok i have never heard of this movie but kurt raab gives me a total boner!

when he shows up @ the end of angst vor der angst r whatever it is called, thanks ilx user harbl

have you also seen fox and his friends
fassbinder rules everything around me tbh

oh yeah kurt raab gives me huge boner too, that's prob why i liked it a lot and i like how he is in the movie. he seems like he's made for me in this role. lol.

fox and his friends is hot!

"A Room With A View"
"Orpheus"
"Juliette of the Spirits"

"The Double Life of Véronique"!

Why, if i may ask, are you asking the homo film snobs and not the art snobs?

thought abt this and the best i could come up with is <3 u bros 4real

"Caravaggio"
"Edward II"
"The Tempest"
^ these are all Derek Jarman btw.

i have been back on Hitchcock again recently...do you like Fassbinder? "Ali: Fear Eats the Soul" is amazing, as is "Fox and His Friends."

i've seen everything on my fassbinder box set except for mother kuster or something and i think i've seen all of jarman excpt for the super8s and wittgenstein, but i really wanna see that now cos i just read the blue notebook

but YES! like these!

its weird, i'm bad at seeing movies but i've seen them

i meant them

what about the Hitchcock? if you can, read Lee Edelman's "No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive," then watch The Birds, Strangers on a Train, and North by Northwest.

xxp - Wittgenstein is interesting. The guy that plays Wittgenstein is kinda hot in a weird way, if i remember right.

Vincent And Theo, about Van Gogh and his brother. Directed by Robert Altman, starring Tim Roth as Vincent. Roth gives good crazy.

I forgot - have you seen Prick Up Your Ears? The Joe Orton movie from about what 20 years ago?

Marie Antoinette IS like Jarman on a higher budget, perhaps that's why I dislike it so.

painter: Seraphine

ruder, funnier than many Fassbinders: Two Drifters

henry: portrait of serial killer

kirikou and the sorceress

i liked marie antoinette, but a lot of what i liked was geeky stuff about french history, and particularly the way lots of people around her were trying to explain in very subtle ways that her behavior was out of line, to which she paid no attention.

the wittgenstein movie is on google video, i haven't seen it though..

check out the Visconti movie "Ludwig"

<3 u bros 4real

Aw.

wittgenstein rocks!

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie.

Beineix's "Diva"

^^yes! this movie is A+, my mam is obsessed with it because the bit at the beginning where wilhemina whatserface sings makes her tear up

is that the French one with the dude who rides the scooter?

I used to listen to that soundtrack obsessively.

yeah! based on the delacorta book too iirc

"The Servant" is hella gay for not being a "gay" movie, ifuknowwhatImean

xp - yeah that movie is pretty awesome. I get it confused with Aria.

Beineix's "Diva"
