I Love Film

[behndy]

i liked Delicatessen okay, but i always feel like Amelie is a version of it that makes me happier? i know technically they're not that similar, but they fill me with the same responses.

City of Lost Children is perfect in every way.

i get the same feels with Tarantino and Guy Ritchie though. Reservoir Dogs and Lock Stocks are okay, but Pulp Fiction and Snatch always feel like the same movies done better with more depth and talent.

FLCL, Cowboy Bebop, Dead Leaves, Tekkonkinkreet... there's soooo much fucking amazing anime.

does the og Aen Flux fit under film? love that series.

SO. MUCH. TASTY OUT THERE.

horror - Evil Deads, Army of Darkness is my favorite, i even liked the new one. Martyrs always makes me wiggly. 28 Days Later is beautiful.

SO DAMN MUCH.

Hausu is hilarious. I gotta find that noise music one.
I also wanna get these: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1508374/

that's funny. i JUST found out Hausu became available on bluray. sadly it's a Criterion Collection, so while it'll be a great transfer and have neat goodies, it never will come down in price, just go UP.

but. YESH. ORDERED.

Also, when we're talking anime, Paprika is one of my all time favourite movies.

[behndy]

Paprika is so awesome. Rin/something something Mononoseaheegwhse was good stuff too. compressed.

i picked up the scaled down, redid graphics version of Full Metal Alchemy. gonna tackle that after Titans.

[BitchPudding]

FMA: Brotherhood right Ben? Vastly superior to the original honestly.

Agreed, Paprika is the shit. Totally gonna watch it in a sec.

And your gonna love Hausu dude, shit is completely crazy.

THE HAUUUUUUUS

Hausu is lovely, gotta dig the shoddy effects.

When we're talking weird japanese films, Takashi Miike is the king. And stuff like Tetsuo, Funky Forest and Suicide Club.

Mutant Girls Squad. <3

Electric Dragon 80000V and Tokyo Fist are also good.
I like the "Terrifying Girls High School" movies too
Really, any of the the bosozoku/bancho/MY NAME IS ___ AND I'M ONE OF THE FOUR KINGS OF ____ HIGH, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME FIREBALL JUNIOR #3 kinda stuff is good in my book.

Netflix has some good band docs too. Saw one about The Minutemen recently that was really good.

[Chankgeez]

Minutemen doc's awesome.

I'm in the process of making my way through the IMDB top 250. I find that is a pretty reliable source for good movies, although you should ignore new movies for about a year or two, because people tend to overrate movies right when they come out, and then the rating comes back to earth soon enough.
