I would pay $50 to watch a livestream of two of these bingo card spergs going on a date.
Check out the Comic Con speed-dating that Metokur covered. That's pretty close to what you want lol.
Also Its a Wonderful Life shouldnt be colorised you fucking mong, why would you watch that. I would personally add Die Nibelungen Siegfried both parts, Marty (1955) and The Thief of Baghdad (20s or 40s) to this list just to stick with the aesthetic, maybe Buster Keatons The General as well.
EDIT: Maybe Alexander Nevsky as well
Well, let's just say some Russian guy posted a 1080p colorized version of It's A Wonderful Life on Odnoklassniki
the day before Christmas Eve last year and I just had to save it. It's a very good colorization too. Though I understand preferring the black-and-white version. There are some films that I deliberately archived the monochrome version of because it worked better for the look of the film. Thanks as well for the recommendations, I will take a look at them and try to get mp4's for the archive.
I prefer a lot of animation over actual live action films/media in all honesty. I simply am more drawn to the vibrant colours, the styles, the shapes, and the feeling of the visuals. It's eye candy for me, and I can get lost for hours rewatching certain animations because they are simply hypnotizing. There is things you can do with animation that you just cannot achieve with live action. Though I will say I adore good practical effects for live action movies, mostly stemming from a love of the movie "The Thing." Their use of latex for that film was down right awesome.
I agree. A large part of my enjoyment of animation comes from the art and aesthetics. With animation, you can construct an aesthetic that is far deeper or sincere than with live action, due to the latter's natural restrictions. When pulled off masterfully, it becomes mesmerizing. The scene, the atmosphere, the feeling. One immediate example of this is the current production of "The Overcoat" by Yuri Norstein and Francheska Yarbusova. My viewings have made my expertise more live action, but that is what I can say about animation.
I am not too familiar with many film artists to be honest with you. I only know Sergio Leone because my mum is a giant Clint Eastwood fan. I am a bit uneducated on film as an art over all, and I will admit that.
I would recommend starting with what seems interesting to you and going from there. For example, I began my collection by saving noir films I'd found on Youtube. If you want to watch Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood's films are fantastic and a classic of the Western genre, but my personal favorites is his "Once Upon a Time" trilogy, with: "Once Upon a Time in America", "Once Upon a Time in the West" and "Once Upon a Time in the Revolution" (otherwise known as "Duck! You Sucker!"). A
massive reason I love Leone's pictures is their music, by Ennio Morricone. A great score is what elevates an already "outstanding" film to what I'd rate as "one of the best". Films such as the above mentioned, Napoléon (1927) and Gone With The Wind (1939) all have this. When the writing, screenplay, filming and soundtrack all come together, you feel it in the back of your neck that you are watching
KINO.
Even James Stewart testified in court to prevent the colorization of the film back in the 70s, I guess that didnt mean much.
Reminds me of how Alan Guinness hated that people remembered him as "Obi Wan Kenobi" because of Star Wars blowing up like it did. Hearing that as a child, I understand that now as an adult. You ask me about Alan Guinness and the first role of his that comes to mind is King Charles I in Cromwell (1970). The fact that the man was in so much kino and gets remembered for some space fantasy movie is a pretty funny way of life to work out.
