Favorite Terrence Malick Fillm?

[JLant19]

I love Malick. Imo he is genius and love every film he has done.
Which is your favorite?

[Deadset]

Has to be New World for me.

[jhiggy23]

New World.



Badlands is his most straight forward but it's just a glimpse of what was to come. Days of Heaven is his most problematic but also the most beautiful movie ever filmed. The Thin Red Line is considered his masterpiece and really was the culmination of all the themes and the shooting style he always wanted. However, the New World is a bit more tempered and a bit more direct while still being eloquent and poetic, which is why I selected it.

I picked Days of Heaven, but I love them all.

I picked Days of Heaven. It has stunningly beautiful cinematography, great direction, an accurate depiction of 20th century American labor, and excellent music from Ennio Morricone. I have it on Criterion DVD.

BTW, this poll must have been created before The Tree of Life came out?

Thin Red Line

[rapta]

Would have picked The Tree Of Life, but picked Days Of Heaven instead - they're roughly neck-and-neck for me.

After that comes The Thin Red Line, Badlands, The New World and To The Wonder. They're all great.

[L.J.]

One for The Thin Red Line here.

[Random Collector]

One not listed, Tree of Life.
