lol this list made perfect sense until Lost in Translation. Doesn't seem like his cup of tea at all.
And fyi, these aren't his favorite movies of all time. They're just his favorite films from 1992 - present. Here's the link to the interview.

Was expecting: chick flick.
Got: movie about growing up and family.
I was pleasently surprised, I think 7/10 is a fair score in my eyes.

yeah i agree with the -10/10. well maybe not that harsh, but the movie is not really that good. very melodramatic with ZERO character development. its an intriguing plot, but i mean really, its something that you think is cool in middleschool. most of the korean films recent that have been reccomended all involve killing to move along the story, the only one i think is decent is "mother." but still involves lots of death. and tarintino is a hack, so im not suprised he admires that film.

The acting is bad, there is practically no character development, a character dies every two minutes after the poor storyline gets set. You pay to see people laughing at the corniness of the movie's lines and its translations. All the while your friends are talking about how it has SO MUCH MEANING that you just can't see. Random flash backs to basketball games. Random long speeches as a person is dying. Random dead people getting back up again.
I feel like I am going into a theatre and watching rickrolls on repeat for hours. I feel like I'm being indoctrinated into a cult by people who fail to see logic.
I have a very low opinion of people who post that they like this movie online. I think they're retarded.

You have to be joking. He is top 5 greatest film makers of all time. Not only has he never made a bad movie, but he has successfully dominated practically every major style with his own, instantly recognizable flair. Really, he has never made anything bad but Pulp Fiction and his latest Inglorious Basterds are straight up masterpieces. He is a master at making even simple conversations between characters highly engrossing. I'm convinced you could give him any script and he would make it endlessly entertaining (not to mention hilarious).

You're such an interesting person, I'd love to know more about who you think is retarded man, depending on their favorite movies / colors / bands, you should write a blog.
Battle Royale cannot be appreciated from a strictly occidental point of view, and obviously you just did that. Same thing goes for some european / american movies that make sense when you get a feel / have knowledge about the context.
Japan is an incredibly elitist society etc etc etc. The movie doesnt make any sense if you dont put these things in perspective. I would agree that the acting is, for most of them, bad (never forget that japanese tend to be more "expressive" about fear or whatever, sometimes what you think is bad acting is just something you're not used to see, but yeah, most actors are actually real teenagers acting poorly). But there is a reason so many cinema journalists praised this movie, that people all around the world praised this movie with a low budget etc. You might not recognize / appreciate the cinematographic (and it is on that point that Battle Royale is close to perfection, imo, Fukasaku was fucking talented) / philosophical qualities of the movie, but calling people that actually do retards? Thats kinda hilarious.
Now if you would have said the exact same thing about Battle Royale 2, we would agree, because there is no way you can defend that shit on any level except comedy (btw Battle Royale 2 was made by the son of the BR1 director's, and he completely massacred his father' project). But why do people have to shit on things that appeal to other people or define them based on that? Cinema, music, it's all about your point of view, your taste, your sensibility to certain things / sounds / images / ideas. Even if sometime, we can all agree that something is absolutely terrible (Battle Royale 2), try to keep that in mind, I would probably laugh a lot at your favorites movies, but wouldnt call you a retard for it, it's pointless and narrow minded

are you for fucking for real. even he would disagree. seriously? top 5 of all time jesus. Orsen Welles? Alfred Hitchcock? Sergio Leone ?Stanley Kubrick? Fellini? Coppola? Malick? Charlie chaplin? Tarkovsky? and i could probably list 30 others. look, if you are in highschool or lower i understand because you think tarintino movies are cool and stuff, which they are. but they are inherently shallow and full of style over substance. hes made 2 good movies... SO WHAT. the guys i mentioned have done 5+ CLASSIC movies. yeah pulp fiction might be someday, but come on. imo hes a hack who just steals other peoples ideas. and his "style" has been done long before he claimed it or whatever. Tarantino is so overrated these days its not even funny. your other top 5 are probably coen brothers, wes anderson and darren aronofsky and christopher nolan ... give me a break. he only makes "simple" conversations interesting because theres something bad happening in the background... nothing more.

Alright, now we're doing "objective TOP 5s" concerning art, the fuck, I'm seriously you guys, the fuck?
Edit: And btw, about korean movies, if the only one you found decent was Mother, I really hope you only saw 3 of them, Memories of Murder, The Chaser, Old Boy, A Bittersweet Life, Crying Fist, The Yellow Sea, Joint Security Area, Welcome to Dongmakgol, I could go on, but denying korean cinema like that, meh

yes, the director + writers + actors just stitched up random segments of film hoping viewers will be confused enough to mistake it for genius. All of its fans are just lying to themselves right?
Have you considered the possibility that you might just not get the movie? That there might be other viewpoints or meanings that you may just not comprehend and others do? Or does your ego get in the way of you thinking that's possible..
I can't tell if your post is a troll or not quite frankly, but you claim you're surrounded by people who fail to see logic, but your whole rant is filled with statements that start with "I feel this.." and "I feel that.." and then you conclude with saying those who don't follow your so-called chain of logic are retards.
It's fine to say you dislike the film. Most of my friends hated it when I showed it to them. You're entitled to your opinion as everyone else is. But to bitch/insult people who genuinely found some appeal to something is uncalled for.
edit:
and who the fuck cares what tarantino thinks? Why does his opinion factor in what you think of the film?

Wnio putting 10 great names does not really mean you can expell nolan, aronofsky etc in 1 sentence. Thats just lazy argumenting. In fact i never liked the idea to compare "classic" with "new stuff" thats kinda too big culture shock imho if you know what i mean.
I just dont like this type of argumenting.
About Battle Royale, its interesting back when i was watching it there was no cult behind it, yes it was edgy and jezzy but i never heard such extraordinary praising. Its possible it had some hidden layers, and as usual for japanese cinematography it requires you to know all these japanese backgrounds grrr(coming from a guy who ditched japanese culture studies lol). I approached it as simple novel/manga adaptation, ill rewatch it later maybe there is something more to it but i guess first impression always prevails no matter what

I never said he was better than Kubrick, or welles, or Hitchcock, or coppola, thats why I said top 5 ^_^. And no I'm not in high school, im 26. And no his movies AREN'T shallow, you just have elitist to the core taste (which I respect, actually). Also Mother is actually fairly disappointing as far as top dog korean cinema goes. I'd recommend checking out at the very least Memories of Murder if you haven't already, brilliant and powerful drama that also doesn't skimp on humor. Just for the record I'd put Kubrick at number one for the most accomplished director of all time.

I watched this again the other day. Absolutely superb film, de palma really was on his game for this movie and it's one of travoltas best performances in my opinion. Favourite scene: travoltas tapes are wiped and we slowly see him going crazy as he tries to see which tapes aren't.
Also seeing as i have decided to post i will add another film i have seen recently
In Bruges
Not really on par with blowout but this film really suprised me and i enjoyed the Comedy noir aspects.

Stanley Kubrick: blech. the definition of a hack.
Orsen Wells: i've only seen Citizen Kane, which was good. (boring but very good) of course it did suffer from basically being an inaccurate hit piece. overrated imo.
Alfred Hitchcock: okay this guy is the real deal. awesome director, great storyteller, all that jazz.
Sergio Leone: good stuff but one of the best? idk about that.
Fellini: ive never even heard of this guy so... i usually tend to think that discounts him from being "the best" but hey, i could be wrong.
Coppola: Godfather was great, Godfather 2 was great, everything else... meh.
Malick: never seen him but i've heard that both "The Thin Red Line" and "The Tree of Life" were horrible, so... idk, guess i can't say much about him.
Charlie Chaplin: not a big fan.
Tarkovsky: don't know, i've never even heard of him.
also, i think wes anderson, quentin tarantino, akira kirusawa, and (sometimes) the coen brothers are all better than any of the directors you've mentioned except Hitchcock. aronofsky and nolen are meh.

Opinions and objectivity are fine, but there are limits. For example, saying Kubrick is a hack director is basically like saying J.S. Bach was a hack composer. Dr. Strangelove is as unique and spontaneous as film-making has ever been or will be.
|
idk, i really liked Spartacus, but imo A Clockwork Orange, Full-Metal Jacket, The Shining, and 2001 Space Odyssey were terrible. i couldn't finish the first two and barely made it through the second two. haven't seen Strangelove in a long time, like when i was a little kid and i fell asleep halfway through, so maybe i'll check that out some day.

Just watched my favorite movie of alltime!!! Can never laugh enough at this! Ontop of it all Bob Barker is in this movie!
Its all about sending the ball home. Its natural enviroment is in the hole!

I'm gonna cancel out your 10/10 with a -10/10 yeah i agree with the -10/10. well maybe not that harsh, but the movie is not really that good. very melodramatic with ZERO character development. its an intriguing plot, but i mean really, its something that you think is cool in middleschool. most of the korean films recent that have been reccomended all involve killing to move along the story, the only one i think is decent is "mother." but still involves lots of death. and tarintino is a hack, so im not suprised he admires that film. You have to be joking. He is top 5 greatest film makers of all time. Not only has he never made a bad movie, but he has successfully dominated practically every major style with his own, instantly recognizable flair. Really, he has never made anything bad but Pulp Fiction and his latest Inglorious Basterds are straight up masterpieces. He is a master at making even simple conversations between characters highly engrossing. I'm convinced you could give him any script and he would make it endlessly entertaining (not to mention hilarious). are you for fucking for real. even he would disagree. seriously? top 5 of all time jesus. Orsen Welles? Alfred Hitchcock? Sergio Leone ?Stanley Kubrick? Fellini? Coppola? Malick? Charlie chaplin? Tarkovsky? and i could probably list 30 others. look, if you are in highschool or lower i understand because you think tarintino movies are cool and stuff, which they are. but they are inherently shallow and full of style over substance. hes made 2 good movies... SO WHAT. the guys i mentioned have done 5+ CLASSIC movies. yeah pulp fiction might be someday, but come on. imo hes a hack who just steals other peoples ideas. and his "style" has been done long before he claimed it or whatever. Tarantino is so overrated these days its not even funny. your other top 5 are probably coen brothers, wes anderson and darren aronofsky and christopher nolan ... give me a break. he only makes "simple" conversations interesting because theres something bad happening in the background... nothing more. Stanley Kubrick: blech. the definition of a hack. Orsen Wells: i've only seen Citizen Kane, which was good. (boring but very good) of course it did suffer from basically being an inaccurate hit piece. overrated imo. Alfred Hitchcock: okay this guy is the real deal. awesome director, great storyteller, all that jazz. Sergio Leone: good stuff but one of the best? idk about that. Fellini: ive never even heard of this guy so... i usually tend to think that discounts him from being "the best" but hey, i could be wrong. Coppola: Godfather was great, Godfather 2 was great, everything else... meh. Malick: never seen him but i've heard that both "The Thin Red Line" and "The Tree of Life" were horrible, so... idk, guess i can't say much about him. Charlie Chaplin: not a big fan. Tarkovsky: don't know, i've never even heard of him. also, i think wes anderson, quentin tarantino, akira kirusawa, and (sometimes) the coen brothers are all better than any of the directors you've mentioned except Hitchcock. aronofsky and nolen are meh. opinions bro, they're like assholes, everyone's got em and they all stink. Opinions and objectivity are fine, but there are limits. For example, saying Kubrick is a hack director is basically like saying J.S. Bach was a hack composer. Dr. Strangelove is as unique and spontaneous as film-making has ever been or will be.
EVERYTHING Kubrick did was as unique and spontaneous as it gets in the film industry. He was an Unparalleled genius. Also, big + 1 to the coen brothers. You can't beat their brand of dark humor + insane attention to details. The Big Lebowski is my personal favorite comedy of all time.

Fellini is arguably the greatest European filmaker of all time (easily the best Italian, but maybe Bergman or Hitchcock could challenge him). You should really check him out, La Strada, La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2. At least one of those three films is probably on the top ten list of every major movie critic/director out there.
Also, how the hell is Stanley Kubrick a "hack"?
