Watched a whole slew of amazing movies...

Chris Marker's
La Jetée (Iconic! ah! and ISIS used images from this for some of their artwork)
&
Sans Soleil (Relaxing and zen)

Chan-Wook Park's
Oldboy (I finally saw it! Worth its weight in gold! I think Mr. Vengeance is even better, but its a trilogy, so its one entity in my books)

Yasujirô Ozu's Tokyo Story

John Cassavetes's A Woman Under The Influence
Gena Rowlands with the performance of a lifetime, this even interested my braindead MTV loving sister

Goodbye Lenin!
Been meaning to watch this for ages since its soundtrack by Yann Tiersen. My University had it for rent so finally sat down and watched it! A real keeper this one. Germany indie film gold.

Carlos Saura's Cría cuervos
Ana Torrent rules. I prefer this over Beehive, I felt more captivated to the story and characters.

Luis Buñuel's The Exterminating Angle
Spanish, from the 1960's, and awesome.

Coming from someone who has barely any interest in anime, Paprika is a great watch.

Funhouse is such a massively underrated horror movie, IMO. I think people felt let down because it felt a bit lightweight after Texas Chainsaw Massacre . It isn't as intense but that's not to say it doesn't have a unique force of its own. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a big influence on Rob Zombie's House of a Thousand Corpses.

Love Satoshi Kon's work. Both "Perfect Blue" and "Paprika" are fantastic. I already own "Paprika", but do need to get "Perfect Blue" at some point.

I couldn't agree more. They're technically inept but they have what I can only describe as a spirit to them which transcends all of that. They're like a force of nature. Have you read Rudolph Grey's book about him? Amazing stuff.

That's cool that you liked Funhouse too! I personally enjoyed it more than Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Even to this day TCM has this agonizing and disturbing quality to it. I'd say it's worth watching if only for the scene where the victim is tied to a chair and Leatherface serves dinner dressed as a woman. It is a very flawed movie as well, in my opinion. I think the pacing was a bit off. But then again I feel the same way about many "classic" slashers like friday the 13th and halloween. Maybe it isn't really my thing.

I have to admit that I think TCM is a real masterpiece, but it does seem to divide a lot of people. I love how Funhouse starts out almost as a kind of comedy before descending into something that's almost as disturbing as TCM. The bit where the girl is pleading with the monster really reminds me of the bit you describe around the dinner table in TCM.

If you're a Wood fan, you really must try and track down the Rudolph Grey book. It goes way beyond the usual stuff about his angora sweaters to go into loads about his whole circle, much of which was even more interesting and eccentric than Wood himself. The bits on Criswell are particularly amazing and, in their way, quite inspiring.

Thanks for the compliment. Needless to say I enjoy your posts here, too.

I only really like a handfull of Woody Allen films, roughly those from Annie Hall through to Hannah and Her Sisters. For me, though, even that period is a bit inconsistent, and I'd definitely put Stardust Memories as one of his lesser ones. It's a while since I last saw it, but it does seem more like a tribute to loads of other films, rather than a substantial one in its own right. The intro is definitely a homage to 8 1/2 and there are other references to Bergman and some others in it.

Regarding Ed Wood, I think there are far worse filmmakers than him, they just have better technical staff. Wood was working with fellow amateurs on a shoestring. But that's not so different from a lot of punk bands, and you'd rarely hear people dismissing punk as being simply 'so bad it's good', at least not nowadays. It's a shame that while fans of almost every other art form have embraced a quite open attitude to ideas of quality, film fans on the whole still seem hung up on a really quite rigid idea of it. Ed Wood never made a film as 'bad' as say Transformers 2 but Michael Bay will never be written off or ghettoised in the way that Ed Wood has simply because on the surface Bay's films look expensive and polished. Imagine where we'd be if that were applied to music: wall to wall Meat Loaf.

I don't think I've ever actually seen 12 Angry Men, even though I've somehow managed to convince myself that I have.

Just watched ...

 


Bicycle Thieves

The real joy of watching this again was seeing it with someone who'd not seen it before and loved it every bit as much as I'd hoped. It's as much the cliched 'great' film as Citizen Kane, I suppose, but where I appreciate and respect Kane I've never been able to love it in the way that I do Bicycle Thieves. I put it up there with My Darling Clementine as not just 'great' cinema, but the kind I seem able to watch at any time, regardless of mood and just wallow in it. One of the few what I'd describe as truly beautiful films.

Return of the Living Dead

It may not be the best horror film, or even the best zombie movie, but it's probably the most fun. Zombies that actually look disgusting, some real laugh out loud moments, an almost constantly nude Linnea Quigley, and The Cramps, TSOL and 45 Grave on the soundtrack. Stupid in the best possible way. I know Noisereductions is a massive fan.
