Threads That Make the Auteurs AKA Mubi Forum a Richer Place

By: Dimitri​s Psachos

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A SIGNIFICANT LIST TO THE SITE’S EXPANDING HORIZONS, IT’S JUST A COLLECTION OF SIGNIFICANT THREADS OF THE SITE’S FORUM. I’VE CREATED MUCH MORE INTRIGUING AND RESOURCEFUL LISTS THAN THIS ONE, SO PLEASE….WHOEVER THINKS OTHERWISE, THEY CAN GO JERK OFF SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Beta name so far, beta list in general. Any thread suggestions are welcome and the quality of the topic as well as the embodiment of the discussion will be taken into consideration. but I’m way too bored now (not to daydream) to enlarge the proportions this list could have. Below, the collected threads that used to be on my profile. As for the films I picked to represent it so far…probably two of the best films ever made that will NEVER become two of the best films ever made. I’ll definitely add more but for the time being:
