* Dogma
* Fear and loathing in Las Vegas
* Lost Highway
* (A Danish movie, the title of which I could tell you, but then they would take this posing off-line, so I tell you the English translation ) In China they eat dogs
* Niktia (The Luc Besson one, not that dreadful US re-make)
more when I think of more...

I *am* rather fond of John Boorman's Seventies fantasy masterpiece Zardoz. Most people pooh pooh it because it has Sean Connery running around in a handlebar moustache and a red nappy. Guess why I like it?

Blues Brothers (greatest one liners of all time such as "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have got a pack of cigarettes, half a tank of gas it's night and we're wearing dark glasses"), and manages to be a comedy, musical, cops and robbers, retro, car chase, etc.
The Idiots (The first [and only] time that I have seen really rude things on a cinema screen) thoroughly tasteless subject matter and not at all offensive.

Le Festie De Babet
Didn't understand a word, but it is adoreable and boaring at the same time.

Apocalypse (sp?) Now... I kept expecting it to lighten up, but things just kept getting darker and darker and more horrible...
Strange Fruit....It's a terrible movie, but I haven't seen any others like it.

When I posted the idea of The Blues Bros and The Idiots as being "different" I was confident but now I wonder. There are, it is said, supposed to be only seven basic plots for cowboy (and all other?) stories, can this really be so. Even if the plot is slightly different, the general feel of the film is likely to be similar. For instance (having seen neither) is Lock Stock... really much different to Reservoir Dogs? Are there actually other films that are really rather similar to The Blues Bros and The Idiots (in the case of The Idiots, I suspect not)?
