    Never heard of it. Looks very Spinal-y.

    Edit: From the director of The Joke! Well, I might as well see it!

    It is. Probably one of the films I would use if I had to give five films to describe my taste. The book is good too.

    Poltergeist just barely misses my list, but its a new favorite of mine.

    3. The Secret of NIMH
    4. The Dark Crystal
    Considering that last night I revisited Labyrinth I'm now rather interested in seeing more dark fantasy movies from the 80s aimed at kids. I hear those two are pretty good.

    6. Fitzcarraldo
    7. The King of Comedy
    These are two films I'm ashamed to admit I have not seen. I think that Fitzcarraldo might be at my local library, but I will have to probably use Netflix to watch The King of Comedy.
