Hlynur, so good to see your return to discussion of films. It's been lonely in this land devoid of cinephiles. I got your message. Haven't replied yet, obviously. Please pick back up the Asian films thread - plenty more to say, but it helps when there's someone else to converse with.

Just curiosity. A question here or there goes a long way. I'm always willing to share, but not so much when there's no back and forth.

That is hard. Here is a list of random movies I like and can think of. Dreams The matrix Beasts of the southern wild Natural born killers Apocalypse now Barton Fink Saving private Ryan Mongol Slumdog Millionaire I could go on forever. My favorites are often movies that I have not heard of, then find on netflix.

Wow, that's a lot of movies I have not seen. I'll be reloading my netflix que. And as I read other peoples selections my list grows. For example "children of Men". That was a cool movie. Also, "Until the end of the world" is a hard to find and very different movie. Thanks for sharing these!

Also, "Until the end of the world" is a hard to find and very different movie. Thanks for sharing these! Dude! You saw Days of Being Wild? Do you realize that two other films on the list are essentially sequels to that film? Taken together, they amount to an amazing experience. I can't watch this youtube video featuring the song Perfidia without getting goosebumps of pleasure rolling up and down my spine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtkjXu-kEdsDo yourself a big favor and watch In the Mood for Love and 2046, the films which come after it. Also, I would recommend that you immediately seek out the film Yi Yi on the list above. Truly a masterpiece. You have no idea.
