I see Malick in a lot but similarly I see Tarkovsky in a lot of overlapping movies. I don’t think Americans are as attuned to Tarkovskys influence on modern film. I definitely recommend Stalker as an amazing film.

best malick movie that wasn't a malick movie i saw recently was "here".

Tree Of Life is nothing short of a masterpiece IMO. Influential on me personally as my first exposure to how much editing and structure (or lack thereof) build directorial style. It left an impression on me to feel so much for a film that explicitly says so little.

Obligatory mention of that iconic low-angle shot of The Mother floating gracefully across the plains. One of the best of all time.
