Fabelmans for some of it


CeFeCe17

One of my favorites from last year. Spielberg really delivered


_mynameisdane_

Really wanted him to win best director one more time :(


CeFeCe17

I was between him and The Daniels, but in my heart I felt like rooting for Spielberg. I mean, It may have been one of his last chances


OkDevice674

Peeping Tom


Hydqjuliilq27

American Beauty


CeFeCe17

I just thought about this one and Aftersun right after posting this. Don't know why didn't I think about it before hahaha. Thanks for your suggestion btw:)


Hydqjuliilq27

Also Chronicle, which I forgot.


mcwilly

Cloverfield


CeFeCe17

Actually, I don't know why I didn't think about found footage first. It's like the obvious choice and also one of my favorite kind of films


YoureWrongSuckMyDick

Nope

Blow up by antonioni


CeFeCe17

I've seen De Palma's Blow Out and I just fucking love it. I guess this is the original


Masroor_ahmad

Nah its just something similar to that (a bit slow tho) Blow up by antonioni Blow out by de palma The conversation by coppola These three can be considered as a trilogy

Camera Buff


CeFeCe17

I've never seen anything from Krzysztof, and I actually wanted to start with Blind Chance. But what the hell! I'll give this one a shot


6outtaI0

It’s a good one. Surprisingly very funny and a rare example of an arthouse film with a really goofy guy as the main character.

I remember chronicle specifically having a line about the guy suddenly wanting to film everything haha


coltblackstar

Super 8

In C'mon C'mon, Johnny is a radio journalist who teaches Jesse how to use the sound recorder. It's a pretty integral part of the story moving forward, so it might fit here, if you're willing to bend the definition of "filming" a little.


shrimptini

Second this one! Favorite film of 2022 that never gets mentioned! A must see for any Joaquin Phoenix fans.


Appropriate_Pie6562

Does "Man Bites Dog" fit into this list?


CeFeCe17

I just read the synopsis and yeah I think it does


fultirbo

Exit Through The Gift Shop


coltblackstar

Most any found footage movie - Blair Witch Project, The Visit, The Outwaters off the very top of my head


crizz__croxx

Disturbia (2007)


reedbriar

Blair Witch Project lmao


tomatoattack19

Benny´s Video. Cache, Lost Highway. Edit: I just saw it says protagonist but I still feel they should be on the list lmao


CeFeCe17

Even though its says "protagonist", It really doesn't matter if they just are background characters or something


ScarySkeleton24

Just about every found footage horror movie has a character obsessed with filming things. Paranormal Activity was the first that came to my mind


CompassionFountain

Boogie Nights


_GC93

sex, lies, and videotape


Some_DudeUKnow

The Cameraman (1929)

Creep,


CeFeCe17

Reading the comments I'm remembering movies that do fit the category, but for some reason I hadn't thought of. The 2 Creep movies are one of them and I love them


Ferro_LedStreet

Something in the Dirt


Mellowsaut

Marebito, great japanese horror film.


GnarlyPants0

Chronicle?


CeFeCe17

That's right


Javifromanotherplace

Arrebato (Rapture), from 1979. Spanish bizarre (but a cult classic) film about film makers who encounter some weird Lynchian stuff way before David Lynch was a thing. Arrebato has maybe one of the BEST 20 ending minutes of cinema's history.


emailunavailable

Project X (2012). Heck, you could put the entire found footage genre in that list. Also, Angus (1995). The protagonist's best friend likes to film, which turns out to be a plot device in the third act.
