1. I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (Mervyn LeRoy | 1932 | USA)
2. She's Gotta Have It (Spike Lee | 1986 | USA)

4. The Apple...
What in the holy hell does pretension have to do with condemning Hollywood films? Jesus.
I only "got it" in the sense that I was able to enjoy and appreciate it. Saying it went over someone's head doesn't necessarily imply a lack of intelligence. It mostly implies a lack of ability to...
Oh, please, do explain to me how pointing out that passive film-viewing is something no one is immune to is pretentious of me. I'd be interested to hear it. And maybe if someone came up with a more...
Old reliable Duke. Always here to make a brainless, anti-intellectual remark.
As much as I enjoy watching Extreme Weight Loss, I do fear it posits a far too idealistic and extreme scenario of weight loss for most people. 1,500 calorie a day diets for people who are morbidly...
The US won't send a single troop into Syria, I can guarantee you that. The UK and France may differ, but nobody here is going to Syria, that's a fact. At most, there'll be a few missile strikes and...

This and your love of Ferrara are what make you awesome.
Trash's sentiment is nonsensical considering the film's strict visual language. And my point wasn't that people who don't like it are too stupid to do so. I am, however, saying that laziness may very...
The fact that Cosmopolis is in the bottom 5 is just plain absurd. That film must have really flown over the heads of a lot of individuals because I can't help but think it's simply too unique to be...
Izzy's list must be incorporated, lest the list be considered invalid.
Not a lot of people have good taste. ;)
I neglected to mention it, but I, too, would put New Rose Hotel above it. You can add China Girl and Dangerous Game to that list as well.
She's Gotta Have It is the best Spike Lee film I've seen thus far. Not only that, but as a piece of feminist filmmaking by a male, it's second to none. Nola Darling (and yes, all of their names are...
Probably the Mandela flick.
Everyone should post their (tentative) schedules and see where we match up, if at all. Here's how mine looks right now:
We are the Best! - Sept. 9th 7pm
Tom at the...
He's pretty abrasive, but he's honest and has no pretensions about his work. He's very much the antithesis of a Hollywood filmmaker, even if his work owes much to Scorsese and Coppola. Of his most...
I'd place Ms. 45, The Driller Killer, Mary, Body Snatchers and The Addiction all well above King of New York.
I am in a minority, though, so take my word with an extra helping of salt. Not merely a grain, but more like a tablespoon.:P
I'd call it lower-tier Ferrara, and I still enjoy it.
So when are you moving? :D
Uruguay poised to become the first nation in the world to fully legalize marijuana
They also legalized gay marriage recently and have the most liberal abortion laws in Latin America. Oh yeah, and...
A Serious Man.
I didn't see any confirmed new names, so I wasn't sure what to do in that area.
