It proved to me that 2001 wasn’t a one-off fluke; that all it took was vision and determination.
I remembered another one - Wim Wenders “Until The End of the World”.
I have the 4.5 hour version, the shorter ones don’t really make much sense, but the long one does, and is gorgeous to watch.
Not appreciated critically - the soundtrack album did better than the film, at least initially.
Go look it up on WIki for the plot
I enjoyed The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Different and fun in a quirky way.
Ralph Fiennes is putting together quite the career.
Just viewed Tampopo last night:
Major themes being amatuers, various fetishes and the pursuit of perfection.
Cronenberg.
Any takers?
I saw Videodrome in 1985 and loved it.
Crash also has some excellent humour in it
Videodrome is kinky and creepy, with a social message specifically about the media that cuts to the bone. One of my guilty pleasures, but I have to be in a peculiar mood to watch it.
Yes it’s once or twice a decade for me too, but its view of the media is very good.
Until The End of the World (UTEOTW) got it future tech pretty good too, especially us all staring at small screens addictively in the final hour
I guess I am a couple of days late for Pi day.
One weird movie, don’t let the kids see it (or hear it) An obsession with Pi…
A fantastic and freaky film for sure. A favorite of mine and one of the few DVDs still left in our otherwise Blu Ray & 4k UHD collection. A bummer that there has never been a North American Blu Ray version released. Kind of crazy that Criterion or Arrow Films have not yet got around to remastering and re-releasing the higher-rez version Aranofsky’s seminal film deserves.
Freaky good movie. Made me want to use newspapers as scratch pads. Loved the soundtrack, put Aphex Twin on my radar.
i saw it great movie but maybe not for children
I can ad movie Z and Land:

it seems great movies are coming back again; i was losing hope since the 90´s
The terrifying horror of this non-horror story begins after this movie ends and your extrapolating brain starts. That part will stick with you for days.
Imagine yourself in a (insert horrible situation here). This is infinitely worse.
Just don’t waste your money on Chaos Walking to avoid crushing your optimism. A horrid, over-hyped, big budget bomb. Fair warning … to everyone.
Any William Friedkin fans in the community? The French Connection remains a landmark film for me. It was a stunning achievement then. Still is and always will be.
