➤Simple Guidelines

➧1. Include the original film name, director and year of release for your cinema favourite frame

Always include the original film name, director and year of release. If you do not know some of the required information, state that in either the title or top-level comment e.g. [Roma, Federico Fellini, Unknown Year]. The reason we ask for this information is that you can only search on the content of post titles, not comments.

➧2. Add review? I'ts your choice! In the 'body' of the post you can add your review, a comment or anything else you think about the film. You're free to do that, let's keep the discussion open about the film you just posted. Or just don't write anything and share your favourite frame, is up to you.

➧3. No low-effort/low-quality posts.

Posts made to r/filmsframes are expected to be of high quality and have serious effort put behind them. The frame should be clean, not have any urls/website watermarks in them.

➧4. Be Original

Don’t publish stills/frames of a famous film like everyone else, we want to see your own view of a film, your favourite shot, try to publish your favourite still/frame.

➧5. Be respectful.

Harassment, abuse, name calling, and/or threats of any kind is not tolerated here. Any content, whether an image or a comment, that includes any kind of bigoted language or hate speech will be met with a permanent ban.

➧6. No off-topic Content

Never post anything that is off-topic (i.e. not film stills/frames) or that contains gory material.

➧7. No spam or reposts.

Do not submit more than one of the same post/comment on this community or across multiple communities. In addition, please wait at least 3 months before reposting an image that has already been posted to r/filmsframes, and do not repost from the top of all time.

➧8. No advertisement or self-promotion.

Do not use this subreddit to advertise or self-promote. This includes (but is not limited to) websites, articles, blog posts, and brands.

➧9. No memes images or GIFS Please keep the 'frames' and 'stills' in mind.

➧10. Tag NSFW Posts

· Nudity: Obvious, implied or strategically covered · Content that is “sexually explicit” · Gore, both human and non-human.

➧11. Look around you... Please watch what is posted already, maybe shots/frames/stills from ‘Marvel’ or other “blockbuster” films or others alike, aren’t the most suitable for this community. Yet, this is relative, if you find your "view/still/frame is artistic enough to post, don’t be shy to post it.

➠ Report if you if like... Feel free to report any content that does not respect these rules.

Does memento count?

Otherwise I would say Eraserhead and m - eine Stadt sucht einen mörder

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

For a modern option I would go with Max Mad - Fury Road : Black & Chrome (2015).

Allow me to politely disagree.

I think we all can agree that an integral part of Fury Road was the hot palette of colors: you could feel the baking heat of the desert and the road-distorting heat coming off of all those "Big Daddy" Roth mega-engines…to be then starkly contrasted by the cool, cobalt-blue night desert scenes. In my less-than-humble opinion, rendering it in b/w adds absolutely nothing to Miller's over-the-top latest chapter of the saga and actually diminishes its impact. They might as well have made it silent.

You wanna see black and white used effectively as effectively as color in a 21^st^ century film? See ~~Zack Snyder’s Justice League: Justice is Gray~~ Robert Eggar's The Lighthouse (2019).

Les Diaboliques (1955)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I really like Francis Ha - not sure why, maybe it's just the way Greta moves

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

12 Angry Men was the b/w film I watched. It blew my mind.
