European 21 -thanks for the link to Svankmajer -he is a brilliant satirist -I ended up watching the football film whose name I forget, and The Death of Stalinism in Bohemia, which is wickedly funny, if grim at the end...
Closely Observed Trains is one of my favourite films of all time. A brilliant satire on the sclerotic nature of Czech/Soviet bureaucracy, carefully disguised as a loyal polemic about the nazis. I saw it many years ago in the old Glasgow Film Theatre, and when I bought it recently on DVD was delighted to find that it is still every bit as fresh, sharp and relevant as when it was first released.
A new French production called "The Artist" - black and white and silent! It's all about the moment when the silent movies gave way to the talkies at the end of the 920s. A very novel and rather cute film which references the style and approach of the romantic melodramas of the era. It's actually "in English"(ie the captions are in English). Really original.
Aliens yesterday... and i am about to watch it again today for the 200th time :)
Two days running... wow. Is the alien bursting out of John Hurt's chest the bit that makes you keep coming back? For me the best thing about the whole series of Alien films was Sigourney Weavers role. Good to see a really strong female character in sci fi.
no this is the second one aliens :) pulserifles and smartguns :) i love aliens i know it word for word and alien :)
Sleepaway Camp - pretty awesome. I haven't seen a, kitchy, low-budget, early-80's thriller in a while.
Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS Poster - erotic, silly, TITTIES!!!
