    Not really sure if I've ever watched all of Strictly Ballroom and no real interest in seeing Australia anytime soon. I'd like for him to do more, though.
    Last 11 things I really enjoyed:

    Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
    Safe (Haynes, 1995)
    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
    Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
    Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
    What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
    Diva (Beineix, 1981)
    Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
    The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
    Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
    Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)

    I hated Moulin Rouge the first go around. Then I saw it a few years later and loved it. I'm not sure what happened during those years to change my mind so dramatically.

    I just find it a seriously obnoxious film.
