Phase 5: "I really liked how Star Wars paid tribute to Kurosawa."
-
Phase 6: “Guys Transformers 3 actually goes pretty hard.”
-
Pour one out for the losers who reached phase four, stalled, and are now insufferable at parties.
-
Phase 5: actually liking movies
-
Phase 4 its the only time he doesn't say which is his favourite movie, because he became so pretentious that he doesn't like movies any more
-
Phase 1: pop culture blockbusters Phase 2: pop culture indies Phase 3: classic cinema Phase 4: artsy european cinema Phase 5: I don't have time for this sh!t Also, it's amazing that you figured out the full circle while still being so young. It took me 40 years.

Phase 5: Showing his physical media collection while doing a video about the different phases of a cinephile 😂
-
this is so accurate. Literally watched thousands of films and felt cool. Then I 28 years old and now I'm like "idk...Superbad I guess"
-
Phase 6: "Yo have you ever watched 'Who killed Captain Alex'?"
-
Peter Weller (Robocop) did an interview where he talked about finishing a doctoral dissertation on Venetian Renaissance architecture and how he now hates everything about Venetian Renaissance architecture.
-
Phase 5 is being able to watch a Bela Tarr movie followed by Transformers and a 70s exploitation movie all in the same day.
-
Phase 6: Paddington 2 is a cinematic masterpiece
-
Phase 6 is when you just watch bad but funny movies like madame web and forgot your favorite movie.
-
stage 6 for me was realizing I really just like pulp and exploitation
-
Phase 7: Watching all those foreign films in theaters without subtitles.
-
Phase 6 : let’s watch Spider-Man 2 again
-
To be quite honest my experience of truly annoying "cinephiles" has been people who are in phase 2 or 3 but think they're in phase 4. Meeting an insufferable film bro who has seen more than just tarantino and nolan is a rare treat. Still an awful treat, but a rare one.
-
The true peak of being a cinefile is when you start appreciating every little effort and filmmaking technique that goes into ALL movies big and small, not just the ones that are popular on rotten tomatoes or letterboxd
-
Shaun Of The Dead (2004) has always been my number one favorite film, no matter how many slow paced, foreign atmospheric dramas I've seen and loved
-
Honestly, one of the coolest things about watching a lot of movies as an adult is coming back to the movies I loved as a kid, like Star Wars, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park or Indiana Jones and realising they all still rock
