Best Film Simulation to Emulate Cinematic Film Stock?

Thanks for your response! I didnt originally have specific movies in mind but to make things easier (since I didn't do a great job explaining) I'll give a few examples.

First, my confusion only came because some film simulations are not based on a specific film stock but something you came up with (EvPro+, etc.), and some target specific film stocks (Kodak Gold, Kodak Ultra Max, etc.). I was trying to get an idea of if any of the simulations are emulating film stock used in movies since I saw some simulations called "Classic Cinema" or Cinechrome, etc.

Heres some examples of film stocks used in movies. Eastman Color Negative 100T was apparently used on Films like Taxi Driver, The Godfather, Barry Lyndon, Jaws, etc. Source: https://shotonwhat.com/film-negative-stock/eastman-color-negative-100t-52547254

There are movies like Wizard of Oz and The Godfather Part II that were shot in Technicolor Film Stock. In addition, shows like Euphoria use Ektachrome Film Stock (which i noticed that there is an Ektachrome Simulation recipe).

If I had to say specific movies I would like you to make simulation recipes to emulate, it would Films like Taxi Driver, Godfather 1 & 2, and Barry Lyndon. However, this is all to get back to the main point which is: are simulation recipes like Classic Cinema, Cinechrome, Ektachrome, made to emulate film stock from movies? If not would you ever be willing to attempt making simulation recipes that emulate Film Stocks such as Eastman, Technicolor, etc?

Thanks again for these recipes and the amount of attention you put in your work.

P.S. if you are ever interested in making simulations that emulate certain film stocks I will attach a good website that lists a few types of film stocks used in films and the films that used them.

Thanks for the links!

If you are interested, I've created 1-2 recipes inspired by films like Donnie Darko and Asteroid City, and those are the Classic Cinema film simulation, and the asteroid city - Kodak Vision 200T film simulation.

The classic cinema is a subtle and charming film recipe, which emulates the look of the movies from the 90's, with an overall warm retro feeling of it. The Classic Cinema Film recipe has been out there for a while now, but I had no opportunity to showcase it in a proper manner. This film simulation has balanced contrast, with warm tones and bright soft skin tones. It was designed to render skies slightly magenta, and no worries if you don't especially like that, just shift the Color Phase by +1

Maybe later I'll try simulating more movie looks, but at the moment I want to take a breather.

This year alone I've created about 30 new film simulations for Sony cameras. That together with the creation of blog articles, took about 90% of my working time, leaving little room for other creative projects, like moody videos, tutorials and so on. Hence, the reason I haven't been posting so much on youtube. Overall, I feel depleted of creative juice.

The process of creating film simulations is fun, but very challenging, and when it's the only thing you're doing for a couple of years, it becomes repetitive and life sucking. It's like a rabbit hole you keep swirling down into. It's all I think about, dream about and so on. lol.

So yeah, movie film stocks sounds exciting, and I will think about it in the future. Right now, I want to replenish my batteries so I can be creative again.

I want to thank you for your suggestion, I think it's great, and I want to thank anyone reading this being part of the community, it's really amazing!
