I have a soft spot for this admittedly naff film

Yeah, there's the original BBC version which is excellent (but incomplete on DVD) and a later remake which isn't so great. Hammer made three Quatermass films: Quatermass Xperiment, Quatermass 2 and Quatermass and the Pit. Opinion seems divided as to whether Xperiment is better than Pit (Quatermass 2 is definitely the least interesting of the three). I go for Pit because I prefer the story but Xperiment is perhaps the creepier. Anyway, just watched: ![]() L'Atalante I don't fall to my knees in reverence to this as some do but it is undeniably spectacularly beautiful. And I can't think of many films more deserving of the word dreamlike. I'm sure Lynch must've watched it a load of times prior to making Eraserhead. |

One of my favourites, too. The bit in the school is flat out hilarious. |

YESS!! When they send the nun up to get him down. Laugh out loud funny. And as you say, very beautiful. The scene when the peacock appears in the middle of a snowball fight is one of my favourites in any film. |
![]() I only found out about this film from watching Autoluminescent (which was brilliant). I'm so glad that I did, I loved it. Seeing Crime & The City Solution and Nick Cave perform in the film was a bonus as was Peter Falk/Columbo! Now I have to track down the sequel: Faraway, So Close! |

that's a beautiful, beautiful movie. just stay clear of the hollywood remake featuring the ghoulish nicolas cage and duck-billed blonde meg ryan. fucking criminal. faraway so close rules too. i think i posted a clip for hayden the other day but it's a possible spoiler so don't look for it. |

![]() I thought that it was really great. maybe my favorite of his that i have seen. |
![]() Way Out West I'll always prefer L&H's short 20 minute films over their feature films. There's zero padding to the short films, making the features invariably feel a bit drawn out in comparison. But of their full length movies this is definitely one of my favourites. If L&H were a band though, they'd be celebrated more for their singles than for their albums. Hollywood's answer to the Pet Shop Boys. And this is their Behaviour. ![]() Thicker than Water This was a short that came with the Way out West DVD and it's worth the price on its own. Twenty minutes of pure, in your face, no diverting sub-plots Laurel & Hardy. So this'd be their Suburbia. |

Yes!, I loved the second part probably as much as the first, I can't really fault the film at all but there's just one thing I didn't get and that is why Willem Dafoe's character could be seen by the humans that are alive and also talk to the angels... did I miss something? Anyway... really fantastic film(s). |
