I decided to start with their bigger titles that I would like to own, but I'll be going back later in the month and I will probably pick up some of the ones you all suggested. Today I ended up buying: On the Waterfront, Night of the Hunter, Harold and Maude, The Game, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Dr. Strangelove, Videodrome, It's a Madx4 World, All That Jazz, and A Hard Day's Night.

I'd personally only nominate that scene from Under the Skin (you know which one) as being in the competition.<br /><br />On an unrelated note related to Brent's original post, does anyone know if Sadako vs. Kayako is going to get any kind of English language release? I've been planning on doing a complete run through of both franchises for a couple years know, and doing it when SvK comes out would be ideal (even better if its during SMM!)E.S.A.D.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18214282257870634349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-68474798335694489352016-07-05T00:10:56.459-05:002016-07-05T00:10:56.459-05:00Are you in the Atlanta area, Frank?

Catch a double feature and then sneak over to the other side of the lot to catch a third movie without paying for it. They let you bring your own liquor in there, and those were some of my heavier drinking days, so I blacked out during more movies than I can count at that place (don't remember Splice, The Karate Kid, The A-Team, Get Him to the Greek, et al.)E.S.A.D.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18214282257870634349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-5569094034604141102016-07-04T23:13:24.280-05:002016-07-04T23:13:24.280-05:00Thanks Paul!

Wow I've had quite a night thinking about David Cronenberg because earlier I saw a clip of James Woods' stomach open up and maybe he put a gun in there? My eyes were mostly closed. But WTF....it was so messed up. Whyyyy would anyone want to watch this (or anything in this genre, and who are you people?), I'm thinking. I'm truly curious. Soo then I read Patrick's old article on DC, and some other articles on him, aand now I'm kind of super fascinated by what he does. Patrick's article was great describing the evolution of his style and intriguing themes, which I like. I feel like maybe I don't have to watch something as terrifying as The Brood to get him (maybe I can bypass the body horror phase) but actually Videodrome sounds really cool... I don't know if I can get over my squeamishness and I dont know if I SHOULD, but, anyway, maybe one day. Thank you, guys! A new, very intriguing and very scary door has opened up in my brain! A total Alice in wonderland experience.<br /><br />Meredith https://www.blogger.com/profile/11361935408436355904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-38168709504122627772016-07-04T19:34:10.341-05:002016-07-04T19:34:10.341-05:00I highly recommend taking a night and giving Inlan...I highly recommend taking a night and giving Inland Empire it's due.

Just a bizarre choice in my opinion. I thought it was fine. The score, which was really well received, annoyed the hell out of me as it's played over and over. Kind took me out the movie actually.

Personally, I think it's absolutely visually appealing and there are so many interesting things he's doing visually that it blew my mind. But, that is one of the arguments I hear from people who don't enjoy it so you're not the only one who feels that way.

It's his most disjointed, challenged, least visually appealing movie, but still has enough of that Lynch genius/mystique to remain frustratingly fascinating.

Urghhh.<br /><br />You should check out Dead Ringers, if you haven't seen it. It's not scary, but is dark and discomforting. It's a movie that speaks to me a lot perhaps because of my own personal struggles, but I think it's a brilliant movie that could be appreciated by anybody.
