  L'Argent 1983

  If you've ever wanted to know at a glance if things are going really badly for me, you can tell by how recently I have logged this film.

  Alien 1979

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 06 Oct 2022

  A friend of mine once told me she thought it was weird that this was my favorite movie and not something like Videodrome. As insufferable as I am, this is a fair statement, and tbh I get self-conscious about it sometimes as I my think top 4 is being laughed at by someone who has James Benning or Lav Diaz films listed as their favorites.

  But...No. This is it. This is the film for me, my Star Wars, my Citizen…

  The very first scene is basically the Monty Python "It's just a fleshwound" gag played seriously.

  Ulysses' Gaze 1995

  ★★★★½ Watched 03 May 2017

  Someone, at some point: "I bet you can't film flashbacks within flashbacks spanning over 50 years in a single take."
  Angelopoulos: "Hold my beer."

  
  
  

  I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.

  Mahler 1974

  Does anyone make films like Ken Russell anymore? I don't think so, and the world is a poorer place for it.
