[LionPride]

I fucks with both lists except for the fact he has Ray J down there...

 

[R3TRO]

Scarface and The Godfather so good.

 

[nocturnedelight]

I'm actually surprised he doesn't have a Radiohead song there.

 

[MMarston]

That's one great ass film list.

 

[thestopsign]

Yeah I fuck with his movie list.

 

[scarlet]

We have same taste in movie. Marry me, Frank!

 

[itwasTuesday]

Well, he does like Pi.

 

[injurai]

Does he like the Park Chan-wook or the 2013 Old boy? Which is it?

 

[Askherserenity]

So No Country For Old Men wasn't too deep for him?

 

[Extra Sauce]

Very impressive list of films but where is Weekend at Bernie's?

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

His music taste is god tier

 

[Max Armstrong]

Pretty solid film list. I always judge someones opinion on movies based on if they liked Eraserhead or not.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Great lists, but Eraserhead is trash.

 

[hydruxo]

Damn good lists.

 

[bebop242]

Pretty solid film list. I always judge someones opinion on movies based on if they liked Eraserhead or not.

Great lists, but Eraserhead is trash.

Neogaf

 

[Dabanton]

I fucks with both lists except for the fact he has Ray J down there...

Before he turned into an silly punchline Ray J was a damm good artist and that song that Ocean picked is a banger.

 

[Galang]

Both are good lists, but whenever artists do these lists they always come across as super try hard and fake. Like I know there's a lot of shit omitted here... the lists feels a bit too controlled. I'd have a bunch of random shit on mine

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Metropolis

Which one? The German silent movie or the anime?

 

[giga]

Both are good lists, but whenever artists do these lists they always come across as super try hard and fake. Like I know there's a lot of shit omitted here... the lists feels a bit too controlled. I'd have a bunch of random shit on mine

I mean, Ray J in the same list as the beatles is pretty random.

Why does he get his own thread?

Why not? There are a lot of Frank fans here and it's not like there's a Frank OT.

 

[CitizenCope]

Why does he get his own thread?

 

[a very cute dog]

Damn. Marry me Frank!

 

[BlueTsunami]

Dude has amazing taste, no surprise

Nicke Cave & The Bad Seeds jam. Yep.

 

[injurai]

Both are good lists, but whenever artists do these lists they always come across as super try hard and fake. Like I know there's a lot of shit omitted here... the lists feels a bit too controlled. I'd have a bunch of random shit on mine

Agreed. As a big fan of electronic, it's always Aphex and Kraftwerk...

 

[Servbot24]

Why not? There are a lot of Frank fans here and it's not like there's a Frank OT.

There's an OT for his album... don't see how on earth the dude would warrant an "all things frank ocean" thread. Not up to me though.


Anyways I gotta hand it to him for a good music list.

 

[LionPride]

Before he turned into an silly punchline Ray J was a damm good artist and that song that Ocean picked is a banger.

Nah

 

[Damerman]

he likes something about us by daft punk... this gives me so much satisfaction.

 

[Minus_Me]

Barry Lyndon

Damn right.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Lots of David Lynch and Alejandro Jodorowsky.

Good stuff.

 

[Bladenic]

"Anytime - Ray J"

okay Frank

 

[Bacon]

That's a big ole list alright

 

[Puck Beaverton]

The Wong Kar Wai films don't surprise me at all considering his music.

 

[lamaroo]

Dude's got Assassination of Jesse James on there, you know he's got good taste.

 

[Koozek]

Yo Frank, are you me? That movie list could be mine.

 

[thequickandthedead]

Lmao at that Death Grips song

 

[Discotheque]

The Wong Kar Wai films don't surprise me at all considering his music.

Was about to say that. Could practically use his music as a soundtrack to those movies

 

[gdt]

I don't believe you

 

[mariachi507]

Frank and I would get along on films. Most of them anyway.

 

[The Driver]

Ehhh, was hoping for more off the wall or "bad" choices.

 

[hugocésar]

Love you even more, Franky.

 

[Fancy Clown]

Good list o movies

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

David Lynch and Mazzy Star? Damn he has excellent taste.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

ATL is the most interesting pick on that movie list.

 

[WaffleTaco]

I really feel like if someone would do this, they would pick their highest rated favorites. That way they look 'smarter'.

 

[Rembrandt]

he has good taste in both aspects, unsurprisingly. we share a decent amount of songs and large amount of movies. the latter isn't too surprising since a lot are in most people's favorite films list. no scott pilgrim is a big X

 

[Skeletron]

Garden of Linmiri is my shit

 

[blakep267]

I fucks with both lists except for the fact he has Ray J down there...

Like for real, Raydiation was a solid album and Anytime was a great song. Along with Lets play House

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Ooh, Rushhomle Ruffians.

 

[Apoc87]

Ctrl+f "Gucci Mane"

For shame

 

[Extra Sauce]

Ehhh, was hoping for more off the wall or "bad" choices.

That's how I feel.

It's a boring list of great films.
