The Fountain 2006
Back in 1998, I came down with a bout of pneumonia. I was laid up in bed with nothing to do but to watch films. The medication, fever, and cough all contributed to a very strange first viewing of Darren Aronofsky’s debut feature, Pi. By the end of that film, I wasn’t sure if I had some sort of sickness-induced fevered dream or if what I had watched actually happened. After beginning to recover, I watched the film again. And…

Highlander 1986
"Now, pendejo...", Sean Connery as Ramirez.
A Scotsman is cast as an Egyptian posing as a Spaniard in the 16th Century. Add a Frenchman cast as a Scotsman from the 16th century. That's the kind of amazing fuckery that's going on in this great 80s cult action classic.
Everything about this film works. Russell Mulcahy's sharp direction. Gregory Widen's lunatic script. Michael Kamen's rousing score. Queen's accompanying songs (I want Who Wants to Live Forever to play at my funeral).…
