I'm thinking of seeing...
Re: Next film I plan to see
Kitten With a Whip (1964) starring Ann-Marget is probably my fav entry in the Nasty Girlz canon.
gonna watch lang's indian tomb thing. seen the silent version by joe may. may have to hit the pipe :p
see y'all in a few days

I've been on a small Hong kick these last few months, seeing
Tale of Cinema,
Right Now, Wrong Then,
Hotel by the River,
The Day After, and
In Another Country,
which makes him my most watched director this year (so far). I've pretty much enjoyed all of them, or at least appreciated what he says about life, and tonight I'll be adding another to my list: On the Occasion of Remembering the Turning Gate (2002).
It'll be my eighth Hong film (I saw my first-ever one, Woman on the Beach, for a scfz poll a couple of years ago, and later I saw The Day He Arrives).
Has anyone here seen more than two Hong Sang-soos?

I've seen seven and a half Hongs, he's great, pretty sure he has a bunch of fans around here. Wanna finish Claire's Camera and watch The Power of the Kangwon Province next, like you said most of them are at the very least worthwhile though I didn't get a whole lot out of Nobody's Daughter Haewon. Yourself and Yours is probably my favourite, such lovely simplicity.
I've seen three over the past 15 years and all were pretty great! Definitely a recommended filmmaker.

I've watched only 10 Hongs, which is a low number considering how much I like him. Certainly one of my 5 favorite active directors right now, but lots of his films haven't been available in my usual channels.
On the Occasion of Remembering the Turning Gate 
Night and Day
Our Sunhi
Hill of Freedom
I watched his debut, 'The Day a Pig Fell Into the Well' the other week. Felt way too cinematic, kinda like Hong doing Yang, just didn't feel right. I need those lowkey zoom-ins dammit. Looking forward to watching 'Woman on the Beach' at some point in the near future.

have seen all the hong features and shorts except for the woman who ran which is supposed to come out this year. definitely one of my favorite working directors, and i think his films tend to be fare less similar to one another, in tone and narrative strategy and visual texture, than even some of his fans suggest. i especially like his most deceptively simple films (nobody's daughter, our sunhi, hill of freedom, claire's camera) from the last decade, but there aren't almost any i dislike, and i think everything has improved on second or third visit.
I'm "currently" watching My Neighbors the Yamadas (which means I'll probably finish it this month). Don't know which unseen Ghibli feature to watch next (meaning next month or in two months).
I still have to discover:
Tales from Earthsea
Porco Rosso
Ponyo
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya

All of the above!! Except for Ponyo. And except for Tales from Earthsea. But other than that, all of the above!
was thinking:
First Tales from Earthsea, cause I wanna watch more by Goro (From Up on Poppy Hill (2011) and Ronja, the Robber's Daughter (2014) were both wonderful).
Maybe Kaguya afterwards, cause I'm not that familiar with Takahata.
And my only 2 missing Miyazaki feature films for the cinema as the two last movies, cause they are probably as great as Hayaos other work [and I'm already a huge fan of the Ponyo score (which I've listened to a hundred times at least)] so I can save the best till the end.

From Up on Poppy Hill is fantastic, and I've been meaning to see Ronja for the past... err... 6 years. But Tales from Earthsea is not quite from the same competent director, I'd say 0__0 Kaguya and Porco Rosso are total classics. I didn't really get Ponyo, but everyone else seems to love it!
jia zhang-ke's ash is purest white. not at all well-versed with jia. don't remember much of platform, which everyone seems to luv. but really really luvvved unknown pleasures. so we'll see...

I've fallen into a rabbit hole with a big stash of Puerto Rican movies from the 50s/60s, something I hardly knew existed. mostly shorts/featurettes, no subs, on the Instituto De Cultura Puertorriquena youtube channel. Don't know how soon I'll get around to them, but this one looks like a good place to start, apparently based on a novel a b/f once insisted I had to read (that I don't remember a damn thing about).

Lucky you, R!
Alas, cinemas in NYC show no sign of reopening in the foreseeable future. I might be able to stream it.
These matters are best disposed of from a great height. Over water.
i get that they just want to do the new restorations but such a disappointing retro. none of the films he wrote but didn't direct? only the one cut of ashes of time? an ideal retro would even throw in eagle shooting heroes or something...
