What is your favorite movie? Or, what is your favorite genre of film?

I'm trying to get a gauge of what people here are interested in.

  • Big fan of long-form science fiction. Bladerunner 2049 is fantastic, as is Stalker by Tarkovsky.

    Tarkovsky in particular has brilliant works.

    • Sci Fi top 6 ‐ focusing a bit on the soft sci-fi

      1. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) dir: Stanley Kubrick

      2. Arrival (2016) dir: Denis Villeneuve

      3. Her (2013) dir: Spike Jonze

      4. BladeRunner (1982) dir: Ridley Scott

      5. Children of Men (2006) dir: Alfonso Cuarón

      6. GATTACA (1997) dir: Andrew Niccol

    • Actually, I'm wondering now what you thought of the 2002 Solaris remake. I've not seen the Tarkovsky version, and I'm assuming you have. Of his other films, I've heard of Stalker. Recommend any others specifically?

      • Haven't seen either of Solaris, but the big deal here is that the US version loses a lot of Tarkovsky's specific, drawn out and contemplative styling in favor of a more active and dynamic version for the US.

        Andrei Rublev and Mirror are standouts, to my knowledge, and are generally seen as better than Solaris but not quite as great as Stalker.
