Tsk! Tsk! Nothing by Hammer Studios. Nothing by Ed Wood. And no sign of "Harvey"! Dear oh dear...

You have good taste, but there is a remarkably low turnout for films more than 40 years old.

[andrewducker]

There aren't many films over 40 years old that I love.

I adore Chasing amy and Leon. Have you seen the extended cut of Leon yet Andy? 'Tis rather good!

Requiem for a dream is one of the few movies that make me feel utterly nauseous. I've had Magnolia for almost 2 years on DVD and haven't watched it (yet).

[andrewducker]

Not seen the version integral.

Magnolia is a fantastic film, if a bit odd.

I thought I was the only person in the world who liked "Go".

[octopoid-horror.livejournal.com]

I -love- "Go".

It's absolutely great. I went into it not knowing what the "gimmick" was and was pleasantly intrigued.

[octopoid-horror.livejournal.com]

I like some of those films. I dislike some of those films.


*grins* I remember when Natural Born Killers turned out to be the best film eeeeever. Remember? *nudges*

[andrewducker]

God Yes. Complete surprise. I came out shellshocked.

Same with Fight Club. I had _no idea_.

[octopoid-horror.livejournal.com]

That wasn't what I meant.

I was referring to one occasion when we watched it. Just after Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

[andrewducker]

Aah. I still have no memory of the second half of it...

[allorin.livejournal.com]

Man, that is an evil, evil list.

[andrewducker]

It's got L.A. Story on there to counteract the evil nastiness.

I'm not sure it completelt manages it tho :->

Brazil is one of the Best Films Ever; it even has a happy ending. I love films that are actually dark even better than ones that think it's all about looking dark.
