Also we need some takeshi kitano films on the site. Sonatine, and violent cop are just to good to pass up.
Any of Alain Tanner’s early films but particularly: “The Salamander” (1971), “Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000” (1976), “Messidor” (1979) and “In the White City” (1983)
Some Robert Frank films would be great: I’ve only ever seen “Pull My Daisy” (1959). I would like very much to see “Me and My Brother” (1969) and “Cocksucker Blues” (1972) also “Candy Mountain” (1988) and “It’s Real” (1990)
Oh, and Sang-soo Hong’s early films particularly his first two: "The Day a Pig Fell Into the Well " (1996) and “The Power of Kangwon Province” (1998).
Merci!
We need to see Sexy Beast and Birth both Jonathan Glazer films a very talented brittish fimmaker of music videos and commercials, now i know y’all have heard of this man.
Orson Welles’ F for Fake
Terrence Malick’s Badlands
Jacques Demy’s Umbrellas of Cherbourg
Any John Cassavetes, & more Claire Denis.
There are some great PUBLIC DOMAIN silent films here that could use a better picture than the one YouTube provides…

Yeah Bronc “Sexy Beast” was great … another recommended contemporary British director is Shane Meadow’s. His stand out films are “This is England” (2006), “Dead Man’s Shoes” (2004) and “A Room for Romeo Brass” (1999).
Wim Wender’s “The Goalkeeper’s Fear of the Penalty” (1972)
Harry Hook’s “The Kitchen Toto” (1987)
Something from Raoul Ruiz, Sharunas Bartas, Shinobu Yaguchi, Nobuhiro Suwa, Hayao Miyazaki, Luc Moullet, Jacques Rivette…
This library is like a kiddie pool. No Howard Hawks? No John Ford? No Preston Sturges? There must be some way we can add to the database. It is unforgivable that one cannot pick “Bringing Up Baby” as a favorite film.
“Human nature” by Michel Gondry, “Combat d’amour en songe” and “Klimt” by Ruiz, “The station agent” by Thomas McCarthy…
‘The Monastery’, ‘Man on Wire’, ‘The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On’, ‘Burden of Dreams’, ‘My Best Fiend’
Directors: Deepa Mehta, Theo Van Gogh… My list goes on and on…
“Wanda” (1970), Barbara Loden’s gritty, unsympathetic cinema vérité style ‘road film’.
(Thumbs down??? WTF! This is subjective – if you don’t like it, don’t watch it! I bite my thumb at you!)
Any films made by the talentuous and two time Palme d’Or winners, the Dardenne Brothers. And maybe a little more documentaries.
Thanks !
one eyed jacks by marlon brando. A true western and great film.
Danny, didn’t you mention to me a while back that you have a copy of Garrel’s SHE SPENT SO MANY HOURS UNDER THE SUN LAMPS? I’d love to get a copy of that up here. The more Garrel, the merrier!
Nobuhiro Yamashita – Any/All of his work except for LINDA LINDA LINDA (2005), his only film with U.S. distribution.
Li Yoon Ki x 3 : THIS CHARMING GIRL (2004), LOVE SONGS (2005), AD LIB NIGHT (2006)
Lesser Seen Nicolas Roeg, x 3 : CASTAWAY (1986), COLD HEAVEN (1991), TWO DEATHS (1995)
COLD WATER (Olivier Assayas, 1994)

Hey Tilde, Very nice list. I also love “The Island on Bird Street,” in addition to ‘Celebration’ and Three Colors Trilogy!!! Especially, “The Island on Bird Street” would be a nice addition to “The Auteurs” library, since not many people know about it…
Thank you, and yes, it’s weird that ‘The Island on Bird Street’ is so obscure, it’s not even released with Danish subtitles even though director Søren Kragh-Jacobsen is from Denmark. But it certainly is a beautiful (and overlooked) movie, I remember the first time I saw it as a little girl, my eyes filled with tears when his little white mouse is dead… It is funny that you also know ‘The Celebration’, which also is from a Danish director; Thomas Vinterberg, are you a fan of Danish movies? :-)
Since I am new in here I have a (possibly stupid) question: What does ‘Cinephile’ mean?
Non Pensarci.
I watched it this year, on 27th International İstanbul Film Festival. It was a very funny and also very cordial Italian movie.

New Suggestions:
*Songs from the Second Floor by Roy Andersson < INCREDIBLE, TRUE AUTEUR
*Careful by Guy Maddin < I personally think this should be up, as opposed to his latest work My Winnipeg. This is his masterpiece, IMHO.
*The Day the Earth Stood Still by Robert Wise
WHAT CAN I SAY, I LIKE SCI FI!
Repeats and reinforcements:
THX 1138 by George Lucas for sure
at least something by Cassavetes!!
JOHNNY GUITAR by Nicholas Ray.
(And his other films, too).
The importance of his work for modern cinema and Nouvelle Vague is essential.
And, oh please, would you add this two films of Antonioni: “La notte” and “L’eclisse”? They’re part of a trilogy started with “L’avventura”.
3 masterpieces of the great italian director :)
Please tell me were i can purchase johnny guitar. I have been looking for that film for as long as i can remember.
Broncstud07, Ive sent you a private message about Johnny Guitar.
Paris, Texas (Wim Wenders) , Salo o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (Pasolini) , Dagur Kari as a director and his film Noi Albinoi, Bleu, No Man’s LAnd, The Dreamers (Bertolucci) , L’Enfant Sauvage (Truffaut)…
