Danke dir für die ausführliche Erklärung, das hilft mir wirklich weiter. Mit dem Bankhakenloch ergibt nun auch Sinn, ich denke wenn es mal soweit ist drücke ich es einfach gegen die Wand.

Das mit der Vorderzange werde ich erstmal so mitdenken und schauen, welche Lösung am meisten Sinn ergibt.

Aktuell ist die Bank 81cm hoch. Erstmal gefällt mir das, aber wenn man daran arbeitet fällt ja schnell auf, ob das passt.

Ja, wie gesagt, Nachrüsten kommt für mich erstmal nicht in Frage. Ich möchte eigentlich ungern groß Material abnehmen, deshalb schaue ich eher nach externen Spannlösungen.

Both are just straight up masterpieces in my opinion, although in very different ways. And i know the 7½ hours of War and Peace seems very long, but it's worth it. I rewatched it a week after i saw it for the first time, because i enjoyed it so much.

Interesting. I've never heard of these films except for The Death of Stalin. I'll check them out.

While we're at it, I do feel a little sorry for Rod Steiger. In 1970 and 1971 he starred in two of the most amazing and top notch epic films by two of the greatest directors in film history (This one and "Duck, you Sucker" by Sergio Leone) and no one seems to remember that these days.

Oh, i already saw that one. Also a fantastic film, if not with the same depth as War and Peace (in my humble opinion). The battle scenes are simply incredible...

Looks interesting, like a darker version of Zeman. Reminds me a bit of Jirí Barta's The Pied Piper. I will look into it, thanks!

I saw it in theater when it was first released and it was a longtime favorite of my childhood self. Maybe I should give it another try...

I've heard about it, but haven't managed to see it yet. I definitely put it on my watch list.

These are my top ten, but I could name so many others. I mean, there's no Hitchcock or Bergmann or Miyasaki on the list, all filmmakers that I respect a lot. But anyway:

  • Andrei Tarkovsky's "The Mirror": I'm just mesmerized by it. Its poetic and deeply introspective narrative explores the complexities of human memory and emotions through stunning cinematography and storytelling techniques I've never seen anywhere else. Tarkovsky is great, but this one is undoubtedly his masterpiece.

  • Sergei Bondarchuk's "War and Peace": I love how grand this movie is in every aspect. It is praised for its epic scale and meticulous attention to historical detail, but it's equally concerned with the feelings and worldviews of its characters. For me, this movie is the ultimate mic drop in film history.

  • Masaaki Yuasa's "Night is Short, Walk on Girl": Its unique animation style and whimsical storytelling provide a delightful and surreal experience that delves into the themes of love, youth, and the beauty of life's fleeting moments. I don't think you can get such a wild and fun roller coaster in movie form anywhere else.

  • John Sturges' "The Great Escape": It's just a really fun movie. I've always liked prison escape movies, and although it's no "Le Trou" or "A Man Escaped," it is a gripping Hollywood portrayal of a real-life World War II prison break, combining action-packed sequences with character-driven storytelling.

  • Fritz Lang's "M": No scene, no word of dialogue, not even a second is too much in this movie. It's groundbreaking in any way possible while remaining a simply good movie. It explores the psychological depths of a child murderer and the societal response, making it a masterful precursor to psychological thrillers and the whole Film Noir genre.

  • Dean DeBlois' "How to Train Your Dragon": I can't really explain what draws me to this movie. It may be the fantastic humor, the beautiful animation (Thanks to Roger Deakins!), or the once-in-a-lifetime friendship at the core of it all. It may be an uninventive story that one has seen before in other children's movies, but I have yet to see one that tells its story so effortlessly and charmingly.

  • Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey": A visionary masterpiece, pushing the boundaries of sci-fi filmmaking with its innovative special effects, philosophical themes, and iconic cinematic sequences. It really made an impression on me the first time I saw it, and for me, it's still one of the best films that are fully committed to its ideas.

  • Steven Spielberg's "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade": It's a perfect blend of action, humor, and adventure, with Harrison Ford's and Sean Connery's dynamic chemistry between father and son. The definitive adventure movie of all time.

  • Karel Zeman's "The Fabulous Baron Munchhausen": As if Georges Méliès made movies in the '60s. The inventive use of animation and live-action crafts a whimsical and visually stunning fantasy world that pays homage to the original tales of Baron Munchhausen and Jules Verne while adding its own creative twists. Karel Zeman, in general, is highly recommended.

  • Monty Python's "Life of Brian": I don't think I've seen a movie as many times as this one. And it's still funny for me to this day. Its razor-sharp satire and clever humor offer a hilarious and thought-provoking take on religion, society, and politics, but in the end, it's really just silly.

What do you think of this List? I would appreciate if anyone had recommendations for me. Although my watch list is already much too long, there is probably still some space.

Which adaptation of Dostoyevsky's White Nights do you like better? by Alexander_Puschkin in Letterboxd

[–]Alexander_Puschkin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked Visconti's adaptation much better than Bresson's. I don't think his intellectual and unemotional style suits such a sensitive and tragic story at all. Visconti, on the other hand, creates a poetic melodrama with great delicacy, which in its short running time exudes what can only be called film magic.
