Ernst Lubitch leaves the biggest smile on my face. And he does so while filming almsot 100 instances in The Smiling Lieutenant where someone opens or closes a door. That’s a feat of cinematic formalism as formidable as anything Tarkovsky did, and yet you don’t even notice, unlike Tarkovsky, where the formalism is all you notice.

Rumplesink,
Are you telling me that bashing a guy’s head in with a fire extinguisher and a 10 minute graphic rape scene is your cup of tea?
Rumplesink – I see that you’ve changed Irreversible to Blues Brothers.I wondered whether you were serious especially when I gave that film a one star. And yes, I concur with your latest post – this 30 minute edit is handy; I need it to play catch up.
Assuming he is not just being funny I would think Rumplesink was simply taking your original premise and extending it so that it includes films one finds so brilliant, regardless of subject matter, that you are left with a smile on your face. When I see an outstanding work of art, even if the characters or situation is horrible, I am usually left smiling in awe.
Edit: Although that is clearly not what you asked for :)
“4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days”.
After I picked my jaw off the floor, of course.
“Elevator to the Gallows”.
That Miles Davis score gets me horny.
… Oh, and “Lost in Translation”
Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Regrets – not that it was funny just sooooo on the button and, of course, In Bruges!!!! And I could definitely spend more time with Yvan Attal but unfortunately Sophie Gainsbourg has this pleasure.
Rushmore
Don’t you just love the 30 minute edit thing? :o)
Satantango. I’m happy to love a movie this much.
Now what I said makes no sense!
It does now – see the posting you originally responded to.

Which are the films that made you the happiest? Not in the sense that the film was a masterpiece, but that you loved the situations and characters, wishing you could spend more time with them. Preferably without tragedy or death.
