If you guys were filmmakers, which existing films would you think would best match your style? Feel free to give multiple films and even tonally different films as I'm sure people here would love to shoot different sorts of films.
I'd have to go with:
Edward Yang's Yi Yi (my favorite film of all time)
Hou Hsiao-Hsien's Millennium Mambo
Fellini's Nights of Cabiria
Sofia Coppolla's Lost in Translation
Jane Campion's The Piano and Bright Star
Ingmar Bergman's Autumn Sonata
and I know I may get flack for this below choice but...
Woody Allen's Another Woman/and aspects of Hannah and Her Sisters, especially the Dianne Wiest scenes.
If I were a filmmaker, I would try to do as many different styles as possible. My list would be:
Hiroshi Teshigahara's Woman in the Dunes and The Face of Another
Hector Babenco's Pixote Law of the Weakest
Ingmar Bergman's Autumn Sonata and Shame
Zhang Yimou's Raise the Red Lantern
Volker Schlondorff's The Tin Drum
Woody Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo (even though I'm not a fan of Mia Farrow)
David Lynch's Mulholland Dr.
Edward Yang's Yi Yi (it truly is a stunning film)
Luis Puenzo's The Official Story
Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon
Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather
Park Chan-wook's Oldboy
Ki-duk Kim's Samaritan Girl
Werner Herzog's Aguirre The Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo
