Moon Pixie, I LOVE the Dark Crystal, used to own it and was scared by the evil puppets when I was little. I had that book on permanent check-out from the library. Absolutely fantastic movie. Thanks for reminding me about it.
Hellcat, I love Clive Barker. Have all his books including a personalized signed copy of Coldheart Canyon, which I waited two hours in line to get. Hellraiser 1, 2, and 4 were great, but I didn't like 3. It was the only one he didn't work on and I think it showed. My friend's dad is a movie producer and actually got him one of the boxes from the movies for his high school graduation. Me and another of my friends wanted to be Pinhead's bitches. He's so cool.
Oh yes, Event Horizon is great and as is Usual Suspects. I also have to agree that most Tim Burton films are genius. Haven't seen Planet of the Apes that he did yet though.

The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer-- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.-- Ken Kesey

has anyone seen a film called 'Koyaanisqatsi'. Directed by Coppola before he made Apocalypse Now, it has no dialogue but says more about humanity than words could tell.
Also:
La haine
The original dracula
Withnail and I
Subway
Trainspotting
Mallrats
Life of Brian
Farewell my concubine
It (until the end)
There are a few films that are made incredible by one actor:
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Scent of a woman
Cool Hand Luke (that film's incredible)
Silence of the Lambs
And all the dogme films
esp. Idiots
Could go on and on
If you can get your hands on Koyaanisqatsi it is some experience.
As always,
al
it's not that i mean to set things on fire...

Good to see other fans of La Haine, it's a classic.
