Roman Polanski's movies are one of the best in cinematography

[vapechimp]

Many good movies out there, not starting a best movies warthread, but the new generation of younger movies fans might be completely unaware of the existence of the old movies, such as Repulsion, The Tenant, Chinatown and many more just to name a few, which stand the test of time. Almost all of Polanski's movies are highly impactful to say the least.

The art of a movie is not to make you ask 100 questions after you watched it (like David Lynch for example who creates nothing but junk mysticism), but to make you glued to the movie what happens next and when it is over you understand and feel the whole movie as if you experienced it yourself. That is how good Polanski used to be to relay the movie to everyone.

I doubt anyone would disagree here that he was one of the best we have seen for a century. Nowadays times changed and people have less appreciation of the art and enjoy crap like Marvel and Disney, yawn. It is not their fault, they are just bombarded by eternal pursuit for money by DIsney and they don't sponsor independent film directors who could make movies on the level of Polanski

The Ninth Gate is one of my all-time favorites from Polanski.

Yeah it seems interesting. Tbh i think i only watched The Pianist which is pretty great imo, but the aforementioned and Rosemary's Baby are two i wanted to watch.

The art of making movies is basically dead. Maybe only Villeneuve left.

I believe Cronenberg made some of the best movies ever even in later years, and his earlier are mostly good too. Altho his movies often have a provocative and macabre tone, it is all in a good way.

Haven`t seen much of his stuff other then Scanners, The Fly, Existenz and A Dangerous Method.
He made some cult classics but not much in recent times.

Well can't go wrong with A History of Violence and Eastern Promises, both being excellent and a pretty good introduction to his movies (at least the more recent ones).

My brother is a big fan of The Pianist but I never really liked it. Then again I never liked most of the Holocaust movies. Too much of worst that humanity can offer.

Yeah not something you want to rewatch that often honestly.

Lumet's underrated. That dude got the most out of his actors and dialogue. Never pretentious, even when he's tackling big ideas. He's like the antithesis of Jean-Luc Godard
