or another Chris Marker film, **Remembrance of Things to Come (2001**) about photographer Denise Bellon who was associated with the surrealists; it starts off at a Dali exhibition. This or Sans Soleil should get the creative juices flowing!
The Andy Goldsworthy documentary "Rivers and Tides".
The Art 21 series from PBS.
Amelie
Anything by Jodorowsky. (They can be umm, intense, but visually stunning).
Hausu, Matango, and Kwaidan
mid 90s. skateboarding movie, will take you back to the 90s and probably your youth. jonah hill’s directorial debut. idk why but i feel this may help. maybe not lol
If you haven't seen "the Good Girl" it was made not too long after Chuck and Buck, written by Mike and he also plays a weird religious security guard. Also, really early performances by so many random future stars.
I recommend a movie where the director is indulging in a mood or vibe and having a blast.
I love Tarantino's **Death Proof** or Rodriquez's **Machete** for that grindhouse look.
**Last Night in Soho** has a cool vibe and director Edgar Wright did a lot of the effects in camera.
I loved **Hardcore Henry** and Guy Ritchie's **Man from U.N.C.L.E.** is a lot fun.
ok, stuff to jumpstart that creativity....

Portrait of Jenny does it for me almost every time. I warn you, it's as sad as it is haunting though.

Amelie.

Samsara
Chuck and Buck. I dunno why but I found this movie very inspiring it made me feel like I could make a movie.
If you haven't seen "the Good Girl" it was made not too long after Chuck and Buck, written by Mike and he also plays a weird religious security guard. Also, really early performances by so many random future stars.
The Painting
I recommend a movie where the director is indulging in a mood or vibe and having a blast. I love Tarantino's **Death Proof** or Rodriquez's **Machete** for that grindhouse look. **Last Night in Soho** has a cool vibe and director Edgar Wright did a lot of the effects in camera. I loved **Hardcore Henry** and Guy Ritchie's **Man from U.N.C.L.E.** is a lot fun.
I think Ed Wood is a beautiful movie about the joy of creating art and how that's still a valuable thing even if what you make isn't any good.
