But this is a good list to continue with.
Yes, this _is_ a good list. I agree with everything here (except Kwaidan, which I haven't seen). I'm especially happy that you mentioned Tsai Ming-Liang's "The Hole", which might be one of the more profoundly beautiful movies I've seen (the dream-musical sequences, while funny/nostalgic, ended up being more touching than anything, by the end). Vive L'Amour is excellent as well. If anyone out there knows how I can get a hold of either Rebels of the Neon God or The River, also by Ming-Liang, I'd be more than grateful. A few more, mostly classics, that I haven't noticed being mentioned: *Wim Wenders-- Alice in the City; Paris, Texas; Kings of the Road; Wings of Desire, The American Friend *Steven Soderberg-- The Limey *Fritz Lang-- M *Alfred Hitchcock-- North by Northwest *Robert Wiene-- The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari *Nick Roeg-- Performance *Mike Hodges-- Get Carter (original version w/ M. Caine) *The Thomas Crown Affair (The Steve McQueen Version) *Wong Kar-Wai-- Fallen Angels, Days of Being Wild *David Byrne-- True Stories *The Brothers Quay collection (shorts) *Jean-Luc Godard-- Vivre Sa Vie, Masculin-Feminin *Luis Bunuel-- The Dinner Party *Fassbinder-- Why does Herr R. Run Amok?, Love is Colder Than Death, The Marriage of Maria Braun *May Spils-- Go For It, Baby (Zur Sache, Schaetzchen), Nicht Fummeln, Liebling *Jean-Pierre Melville- Le Samourai, Les Enfants Terribles *Coens-- Millers Crossing, The Hudsucker Proxy *Jan Svankmajer-- Alice *Jules Dassin-- Rififi *Ingmar Bergman-- Persona *Tim Roth- The War Zone (Without a doubt, the most brilliantly traumatic film I've ever seen, if muddled in one or two places.) All right, I need to stop listing things. Best, M.
