Bad Movie:
ENOUGH!
From this list I've only seen Fight Club, Clockwork Orange, Memento and Moulin Rouge. And I say the three except Moulin Rouge would be on my favourite list. I think I'll have to check out those you recommended.
Favourites:
Delicatessen (I really need to see Amelie, but I love the cinematography of Jean-Pierre Jeunet)
Pickpocket (mmm, Bresson...)
Waking Life (philosophical)
Mulholland Drive (Lynch!)
Blue Velvet (Lynch again!)
Elephant Man (Lynchie!!!)
Donnie Darko (need I say more?)
The Hours (my favourite Oscar nominee)
Baraka (not really a movie, but it is probably the most disturbing film I've seen, mostly due to images the film forces you to corelate to)
Rushmore (everyone who likes Royal Tennenbaums should see this)
Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, anything by Miyazaki.
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (favourite anime all time, with hack//sign coming close but I have to complete it first)
that's all for now.
Movies I don't like:
Matrix (highly overrated, people keep praising it for it being so deep and original and philosophical. 3 of my classes talk about it! Philosophy as an example of Descarte, Film Art for example of cyber-punk film, and Sociology for the "objective perspective as a sociologist thing".)
Requiem for a Dream (well, it's good, but still, EVERYONE I talk to ask me if I watched this as if it's the greatest thing ever...)
And countless stupid comedies, and overrated foreign films...
Films I have to check out:
Dancer in the Dark
Adaptation
Amelie
Heaven
and many more that I forgot.
Al's emails put a smile on my face, even though all they say is "You've got a private message!"
