Riff off of the Noir thread. I need a full on queue revamping...I don't know how it got this bad? Many of the obvious movies on the list (amarcord, sin city, etc.) are on there to *cough* [censored]. But the others...well, I don't know. Maybe it's Netflix? I just can't seem to find shit on there and I'm pretty sure they are delaying my shipments.What was that other jert? Greensin? Greencine? PLAESE help. Anything. Post your queue or whatever. Thanks.

Glad you liked this
i'd prolly pick Riding in Cars With Boys over Winter's Passing on the sad tip.
Have you seen 'Coogan's Bluff'? On some proto-DH ish....
Really? I think I read that elsewhere, but still didn't belive it.

Battle Royale(Netflix is apparently the only place that has a US edition of this)
Never heard of it!
Just rewatched (3rd time? 4th time?) one of the greatest movies ever made:
Such a great (and hilarious) commentary on society on so many levels with a near-perfect script by Paddy Chayefsky and amazing acting from a stellar cast.
BTW it was courtesy of this boxset which has two of the other greatest movies ever made:
"Hi I'm Sidney Lumet and though I'm usually quite modest, Marco wanted me to tell all of you that I direct actors better than anybody in the business. Ask my friend Al."
"Sid, you got me two of my first best actor nominations. I'll definitely ride for you dog."
didn't like it.
Persona by Bergman
and am halfway through:
Weekend by Godard
watch that.
MTV Apresenta: Seu Jorge
Brick
Syriana
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Moro No Brasil
Grandma's Boy
Everything Is Illuminated
Broken Flowers (for the Mulatu soundtrack alone)
Can: DVD
Average White Band: Live at Montreux 1977 (amazing, actually)
Steamboy
God Is Brazilian
Things are looking much better.
I put everything from this thread that I haven't seen in my queue.
I got you on 1.5 of 2. Shandy is smartt hott (although not quite on 24 HPP level), and Carnivale is probably one of the most underrated major shows in the last 5 years - but it tailed off in season 2 for sure. It's very telling how the Q&A doc on the 1st season DVD included footage of an HBO exec telling a pleased audience of fans that "we'll stick with it for as long as it takes" (paraphrased). The 2nd season has the exact same doc, for some stupid reason, but it omits her weighty promise. If it hadn't been cancelled and the quality had been maintained through its fruition, Carnivale would have been one of my favorite series of all time. Like Twin Peaks (but TP is still in my top 5). The two had one other thing in common:
