Would they still be good?

For me, yes since all of them are masterpieces so they'll still be good if they became anime movies.

It's hard to win an argument against smart people, but impossible to win an argument against dumb ones.

No I didn't. All of those were completely different stuff.

Good is arguable but surely not successful. You saw what happened to Netflix's anime adaptations. There is not too many people who enjoy both anime and American movies and even of these most would not like it.

If they're exact copies of their source material? Sure, maybe. It still depends on the production quality tho, especially the art, animation and music. And for movies like The Godfather, Goodfellas etc, it is very important to get the vibe right, quite frankly, I don't think anime can manage to tell a story like this in the same, niche way as it was presented in the actual films.

Except for the action/animation scenes, it's useless imo, some movies you mentioned are already animation. But this idea isn't stupid because it can open these movie to a larger public

Bruh, do you even like anime to begin with? It seems like all you ever talk about on these forums is completely unrelated Western media.

Bruh, how are they mid exactly? You've probably never even watched them before if you think they're mid.

They would have to conform to anime standards, silly head. Since I watched all of them, just let them be.

Goodfellas would be completely different as an anime (film). The whole purpose of the movie is revealing the grimy nature of mafia culture while also showing the illusions of grandeur and freedom experienced by the members of the mafia.

You could still try to make it in anime form, but everything it was trying to say and do would be lost without the gritty live-action atmosphere and pitch-perfect performances from the cast.

Animation (i.e. anime) and live-action filmmaking have their own distinct strengths, which is why directors use their preferred styles of filmmaking to bring their visions to fruition.

So yes, these movies would probably still be good, but why would you even want to change them if the resultant product loses part of what made the original special.

Except 'Spiderman: Into The Spider-Verse'. It is already an animated film, so nothing would need to be changed in the slightest.

Nah, I’ve watched all of them multiple times.
Parasite, SpiderVerse, GoodFellas, Fight Club, Taxi driver, The Truman Show, Inception, Django, Alien and Wall-E are all super mid movies.
You picked some pretty mediocre movies as an example for what real cinema has to offer, you definitely haven’t watched a lot of movies.

An IKEA assembly instruction sheet can become an excellent anime in the right director's hands with sufficient budget. So yea, each of your movies can become a great anime. As can any other movie.

Parasite - maybe ..
Godfather - Hell no
Spider verse- It's already animation so?
Dark Knight - No
Goodfellas - Hell no
Whiplash - Yes, could work
Fight club- Not likely
Taxi driver - No
The Truman Show- Maybe
Inception - I think Nolan was inspired by Paprika haven't watched that tho. Still No.
Lord of the rings - Yes, but won't be as good
Django - Yes, but that's a American setting works best there.

Moral of the story don't compare mediums.

@WaterMage They already tried to make an animated version of The Lord of the Rings. It was not a great hit.

I want a Zoolander anime. Or a Dodgeball anime. Or a The Office anime. They're over the top yet still relatable.

Lol what is this question.

I suppose they'd be as good as the passion was for the studio that made it.

Interesting claim. Not sure if it'd be excellent but at least watchable
