    Easily the most relevant to this thread. How the hell did I forget this one?

    I've racked my brain to try and figure out why so many people would dislike movies of such excellent quality, and I can only conclude that it's because they are simply unwilling to challenge themselves the slightest bit.

    Seriously. Lost in Translation is just, the fucking thing. Great movie. Can't see anything it has to do with hipster, either.

    Elmo why are you so concerned with documenting the things that are well liked by subcultures you don't like? You seem to find great satisfaction and amusement in telling us what you think certain vaguely described groups of people like and do not like.

    I didn't present an opinion, so get off that high horse, cowgirl. It was just a question.

    How has David Lynch not been mentioned yet, by the way. Poor form, 5/8.

    I wouldn't really consider his films to be "hipster" films.

    Really? Every hipster kid I know gushes over his work. I'm talking hipster on the level of seriously enjoying bands like Xiu Xiu. Also, this thread is for movies that are praised by hipsters, not hipster movies. Elmo did clarify that.

    All of the movies that don't really have a deep meaning behind them, but the hipsters swear that there is some kind of meaning, but they refuse to say it because we're not deep enough to understand.

    What the hell do you guys mean by "hipsters"? I've never heard of anyone worshiping any of the movies in this thread. I barely hear anything about these movies at all.

    This isn't really what Elmo was talking about. He meant like pseudo-indie movies (movies that aren't necessarily indie, but go for the over-the-top quirkiness and "feel-good" atmosphere that all movies of this type have) , almost all of which suck.

    On a more serious note Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist was the most hipster movie ever. It wasn't the "biggest" but it was definitely the one most obviously pandering to that crowd.

    The big problem with it was that it was just so obvious. The filmmakers went out of their way to do things like put Dinosaur Jr. posters in Michael Cera's room, have the characters look through each others iPods, name dropping hip bands that broke up before they were born, etc. I was shocked that there wasn't a mention of Captain Beefhart.

    Haha, yeah the name dropping was pretty bad. They did give a shout out to Starsailor though, I dug that.

    Well I enjoy all of the following movies:

    Rushmore
    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
    Juno
    Battle Royale
    Superbad
    Pineapple Express
    Lost in Translation
    The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
    Oldboy
    High Fidelity
    The Royal Tenenbaums
    Donnie Darko
    Napoleon Dynamite
    The Usual Suspects
    David Lynch Movies
    Waiting
    about half of the movies Deimos posted

    I guess I need to go out and buy a backpack, get my hair cut, get a new wardrobe, start rolling my jeans, and whatever else is stereotype of hipsters since based on my taste in movies I must be one. mirite?

    The Big Lebowski is seriously one of the unfunniest films I've ever seen. It doesn't apply to this thread though, it's mostly pseudo-intellectuals (of all types) that worship the movie.

    I used to think this for a really long time, but then watched it a couple more times and realized it's actually really funny.

    I've only seen one of his movies (Ghost Dog), but that wasn't a hipster movie even though it was influenced by a French hipster movie.

    Yeah I'm normally against all the bullshit, watching movies a few times because I didn't understand it or whatever, but the first two times I watched The Big Lebowski, I didn't think it was good at all, and now I love it.

    All that I've gathered from this thread is that hipsters like movies.
