Egads how did you guys crank those out so fast!  So here's what I discovered.  I have no control with Safari on formatting any text in these here boxes.  I'm up to page 38 with my index and I suddenly remember I can't make lists...I hit return my cursor disappears.  I try the cursor in-between words, and delete, I get a double-space.  The thing would be a mile long.  Sorry...but I love the idea and appreciate your work and I hope someone else gets inspired to complete it.

I copied and pasted everything into Notepad. Probably spent about an hour and a half to two hours on it.
A pain in the a.. er, I mean it was wonderful and everyone should try it.

Yeah, same here. Went page by page C&Ping titles into one text document, then another text document to reorder alphabetically, then popped the whole list in here. It was all rather carpal tunnel-y.

Booth, are we now going to consolidate our two posts to take overlapping movies into account? For example, so Barton Fink is on 2, 12, & 30.

I was planning on doing that when all four sections were done, but now I don't know.

O.K. Don't give up on me.  I'm a computer neophyte...but I do see an application on my Mac called Text Edit where I see I can do what you're saying. I'll try typing it out and copy/pasting.  I've already got an hour into this thing, I really do want to complete it.  It's midnight here.  I'll finish tomorrow morning and hope for the best.

Epidemic

This is a bit like Adaptation, except I made it through this one. It's a chore to watch, slow and fairly boring but the end is pretty interesting.
Spoiled here in case you're interested * Von Trier and his writing partner have been writing a movie about a plague moving through Europe and a woman who has read the script is hypnotized to enter the world of the movie and she brings back the plague into the real world*

The Beyond

I was going to say that this was a piece of shit, but I'm feeling somewhat diplomatic since there were some things that could have been effective. In a much better movie that is. Every suspenseful moment is accompanied by some kind of make-up effect and they ruin everything because they are just the worst, they make the Evil Dead's play doh effects look like something by ILM.
One funny thing about watching it now is that there are characters called Joe the plumber and John McCabe (close enough).
Surprisingly it has a rating of 7 on the IMDb.

Deep Red

Probably a bit misrepresented by people calling it horror when it is more of a whodunit thriller with horror elements. It is a good movie though but a bit long, which could have been solved by cutting some of the expository fat.
The art nouveau mansion is fantastic.
Also the killer in the mirror and the reflection in the blood where ripped off by Lynch in Twin Peaks.
I don't really think that but you can imagine the posts if this movie had been made today.
Worth watching.

No need to apologize.

Jubilee

It's not a terrible film, but I'm not in any of the camps that would appreciate it the most (Brits/people alive when it was made/people into punk).

A Short Film About Killing/A Short Film About Love

Both of these benefit from being set in Warsaw, a certain coldness that amplifies the loneliness and desperation of the characters. Definitely worth watching.

'Surveillance'

I enjoyed it for the most part, although I did guess the not so twisty twist alarmingly early.  Maybe I've just watched too many films.  It didn't detract from my enjoyment in any case.

On the small screen I watched the first ep of 'True Blood' (we just got it in the UK on cable).  Wow!  I really enjoyed it.  Much more adult than I had been expecting.  Great opening credits and song.

Baby on Board

We have a new contender for when we come up with lists of the worst movie of all time.  Heather Graham and Lara Flynn Boyle now blow Kyle MacLachlan's Showgirls away in bad post-Peaks career choices.  Horrible, offensive, stupid, insulting...and just more horrible.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer


I am a fan of Tom Tykwer's, (Run Lola Run, Heaven, The Princess and the Warrior),  and don't know how I missed this 2006 film of a novel by Patrick Suskind (whose books I will now search out.)  What an incredible story.  A boy is born in the squalor of 18th C. Paris, with an otherworldy sense of smell. He also has no scent of his own. He survives the most miserable life, when one day his nose leads him to a perfume shop.  This is combined with his later being intoxicated by the smell of a young woman. His quest to preserve that scent leads him to apprentice with a perfumer (played by Dustin Hoffman), and become a serial killer.  This is a murder mystery, a fable, a deep look at issues of identity, belonging, glamour, obsession, the soul...and a blast to watch.  Tykwer's 18th c. is incredibly detailed and hyper-real.  Somehow he manages to convey smell through images and sound.  And somehow we have compassion for this damaged being who sees the young women as flowers, giving their lives to create what turns out to be a perfume of awesome power.  The climactic scenes of this movie are not to be missed.  Really.  Somebody on this board who hasn't seen this movie needs to!  I think 12Rainbow would love it!  (Oh, yes, and it also has a beautiful young woman named Laura in danger of being wrapped, dead, in gauze...)

I don't know if this is a joke, since the index says that she's the only one that has seen it.

In Bruges

It's funny, it's touching, but unfortunately it seemed a bit empty. Like the kind of movie you only watch again when you've forgotten all about it. And the end was pretty predictable (though maybe it was meant to be.

 Isn't that ridiculous!  I spent probably close to five hours working on that index, and have been amazed that it seems to have gone unnoticed--but did I look at the first two parts to see if Perfume had been mentioned?  Nooooo!!!!  Well, I was right, 12R loved it!

The Last Wave


A corporate tax lawyer in Sydney, Australia is drawn into the defense of a group of Aborigines accused of killing another Aborigine.  The lawyer (played by Richard Chamberlain) has been having bad dreams, filled with water, and with the presence of one of the men he is defending.  Peter Weir directed this film in 1977, and it is a moody, eerie, slow and beautiful piece exploring Australian tribal mythology, middle-class alienation, and the mysteries of nature.  I've seen this movie maybe three times, and this is my first viewing after having seen Twin Peaks.  DL must have seen and been influenced by this movie.  The music, the mysteries, the dreams, symbols on stones and cave walls,  a tribal sorcerer who takes the form of an owl, a green room with a brown and tan zig-zag pattern on the floor, there is even a shot in the courtroom with the 5 heads of the men on trial exactly like that of Coop, Harry, Hawk, and Doc when they're looking for Renault's cabin.  Chamberlain even confronts a doppelganger of sorts in a cave in a climactic scene.  Instead of Fire as the transforming element, The Last Wave has Water.

Four Flies on Grey Velvet

When I think about it, this animal trilogy as it was called got progressively worse. As boring as Crystal Plumage got, it at least had a certain visual flair, which was something that I though was missing from the other two.

Phenomena


This must be the worst Argento movie I've seen. Boring boring boring.

Opera

Only slightly better than Phenomena. Daria Nicolodi's death scene was the only thing worth watching.


A question for people who are more familiar with his filmography; has Argento made anything worth watching after the 80s?

Man with a Movie Camera

A meta documentary that works as a compendium of possible cinematic techniques. Fantastic.

Cemetery Man

Is this the best zombie movie? It might be.

Red Desert

A very slow two hours. Had it been made today, people (on this board, anyway) would probably say that it stole from Eraserhead, so let's turn it around and say that Eraserhead stole from this.

Diary of a Lost Girl & Pandora's Box

Was a bit disappointed by these two. Pandora's box is one of the draggiest silent movies I've seen, Diary is less draggy but still seemed too long.

The Power

Started out pretty good, but it never really got going anywhere interesting. And the first dead body is unintentional comedy at its finest.

Kill, Baby, Kill

I've never been a fan of gothic horror movies, with their cobwebs and castles. The doppelganger chase is really the only good thing about it.

If it's Tuesday, this must be Belgium

Oh what a lovely movie. Watch this instead of European Vacation.

The band "The Cinematic Orchestra" have an album of the same name, which they toured the UK playing alongside the film being projected behind them. I'm gutted i didn't get to see it. They're a great band, and that's a superb album.

I made an avatar from the picture on that album cover a couple of years ago.

Heaven


When Krzysztof Kieslowski (Three Colors: Blue, White, Red) died, he left behind a screenplay called Heaven, to be part of a trilogy Heaven, Hell and Purgatory.  Heaven was filmed by Tom Tykwer, and he does a beautiful job bringing this story of moral paradox, fate, and redemption to the screen.  Cate Blanchett is compelling as a British teacher living in Italy, who suffers the overdose of her husband and death by drugs of many of her students.  She has information about the man behind the Turin drug traffic, but is continually ignored by local police.  She takes matters into her own hands, with tragic results.  Giovanni Ribisi plays the young carabinieri who by chance ends up translating during her questioning.  He decides to help her escape,  and the course of their relationship is powerful and deep.  A moving film, with gorgeous Tuscan landscapes, and a final shot that will stay with you.
