all were excellent

The Darjeeling Limited. I really liked it.

Casino Royale. The best Bond movie ever.

Oh, and The Misfits. What a great movie. Marilyn was so underrated as an actor.

Psycho
Great Movie

Yeah. I love Hitchcock. Psycho's great, but North by Northwest is his best, I think.

A really great movie that is out of sync with the vast majority of mainstream cinema and has a real 60's kitchen sink drama feel in places... it also has a truly amazing surreal scene that would not be out of place in a David lynch film!

I don't normally rave about contemporary British filmmaking but I really rate this one.

That's great that you enjoyed Satan's brew Fugazifan!...

The trend to hand-drawn-looking fonts in movie titles these days... what's up with this? Is it supposed to convey edgy or independent or something?

independent/DIY attitude i believe

Christian Volckman's Renaissance. Highly enjoyable, and beautifully rendered. One of my favorite recently-viewed films.

Also picked up Jess Franco's The Girl From Rio on the cheap recently, which I found quite enjoyable in a highly-stylized way. Futuristic amazons showing lots of skin in a high-design setting, held together by the thinnnest semblance of a plot? Sign me up.

it's cheaper to hand draw titles than pay for fonts ha ha.

It's also cheaper to get the Moldy Peaches and Kimya Dawson to provide music for your film than to get music made by people with talent.

if they signed the contract with some "reward" related to cd sales, then it's not that cheap to give them their share :D.

Well, I suppose if you voluntarily put that music in your film, you get what you deserve...

(which apparently means Academy Awards, so maybe I should just stop this line of flawed logic right now)

But if everybody starts doing it, it's not so independent, right?

I'm probably going to re-watch Casino Royale tonight on cable.

The Graduate is back on cable this week, too. I'll re-watch that again.
