This looks really good. Thanx
haha yea totally. I’d love to see the doco
deadly
Though Come and See is easily the most difficult and traumatic film I’ve ever seen, the trauma suffered by Aleksei kravchenko at the hands of the film makers has been a little overplayed over the years, a lot of it is actually really good acting. Yes, they probably did go too far, but they came up with the greatest anti-war statement ever made in the process. Absolutely horrifying for all who were part of it and all who see it. A piece of art that is well worth the horror.
It’d be a bummer if Carpenter came up and The Fog wasn’t mentioned. Also, for folks not into his horror/sci-fi stuff - Assault on Precinct 13 is enjoyable.
Annihilation
Nice atmosphere and sounddesign …sadly the story is a bit lacking - but worth a watch!
Turbo Kid
Turbo Kid 2 is planned!
Kung Fury
Scot Pilgrim vs the world
Turbo Kid is a lot of “park your brain” fun, with some very creative and amusing kills and a very, VERY synth-heavy, pleasing retro soundtrack, for all those (of which there are few, I’d imagine) who haven’t seen it.
John Carpenter made at least 30% of my top 20 films. He’s a genius.
3-Iron
Manufacturing Consent
All watched over by machines of loving grace
Crumb
Happiness
A bit of fun would be ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’
and once through for
‘Wild Tales’
These are just recentish films i liked but not necessarily top of all time favs.
Koyaanisqatsi once every 5 or so years.
Pierrot Le Fou
El Topo
Paris, Texas
The Bothersome Man
Chungking Express
Too many to mention, but I’ll start here.
Man from nowhere was great.
Yeah, it’d crack me open on a good day. That’s a special thing you have there.
I’m a sucker for 80s teen/adventure movies. So my movie shelf is filled with The Goonies, Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Stand By Me, Weird Science, the obvious Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Howard The Ducks and the rest.
I also love John Carpenter and especially Escape From New York (I have at least seven different vinyl pressings of that soundtrack).
But if I had to name my favourite current director it would probably be Jim Jarmusch. I love every movie he’s ever done but my absolute favourite has to be Ghost Dog.
