Slavoj Žižek's five favorite films

"I'm a pessimist. I think it's good if the world ends." - Slavoj Zizek

[thcontinent]

it's difficult to imagine zizek sitting still and watching an entire movie

[JAMAICADOCK]

An end of the world feel good movie; a horror movie that's really a black comedy, and a comedy that's really a horror movie; and a love letter to capitalism - that's an unintentional laugh riot. I get Zizek likes irony

Person: What are your favorite films?

[arturaskarbocius]

[HerbalistGuybrush]

Memento best movie of all time, followed by the newest marcel piece.

[bozoc]

Wow, that Melancholia description is so cringeworthy. Did he watch the movie?
....
I like the heat, therefore I like volcanos.

[geronimozarza]

Despite I'm right-wing, Zizek is one of those men I want as an uncle or even a grandfather. I highly disagree with him in almost everything of his philosophy yet I cannot stop myself from watching his videos and reading his books. He's so likeable! Despite being a marxist, Zizek is a great human being.

[andrewpearson]

Starts sentence with "The best comedy, absolutely..." and DOESN'T END IT with the words "Hot Fuzz"? Get 'im outta here.
