I am on the 2 dvd/disc at a time deal. My girl and I like to get one dvd that I REALLY want to see, and she gets something that usually, we both dig(which is great). But, I am the one that will get and kind of music related shit, or the weirda or tripped out artsy shit, ya dig? I'm also BIG COMEDY fan...bI do like the sarcastic type shit..or if it's clever as fuck..lots of types of shit that I know a of lot of strutters dig too, since I have seen certain mentions of things here and there. Basically what i'm getting at..is how about some suggestions of shit you think i'd dig..(sure some of it I have already seen, but I havent even went through and updated my "Q" since we joined, so I am sure there are all kinds of dope shit that has came out in the past few years that slipped right through the cracks. I like all kinds of shit..so just name some shit that are MUST SEEs. I'm ready to update my list HARDCORE style after this post...so drop that knowledge,god.Thanks 'Strut,Heath.

    If you dig early electronic music, the documentaries on Robert Moog, Leon Theremin, and Bruce Haack are all worth a peek.

    I love Amelie. It's got really witty humor. It's a French film, but don't let that stop you from getting it. After five minutes I usually forget that I'm reading subtitles and settle into the movie.

    Off the top of my head:

    La Haine - Great French film about racial tensions in neighborhoods bordering Paris. Black & White, brilliantly shot.
    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Michel Gondry (who did music videos for Bjork, the Foo Fighters, the Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk) at his best. Great if you enjoy a more serious Jim Carrey.
    Tom Dowd & The Language of Music - If you haven't seen this already, you must. Very well done documentary about legendary producer Tom Dowd, who did the Derek & The Dominos Layla sessions, most of the peak Arethra stuff, Allman Brothers, etc etc. A true pioneer.

    Absolutely necessary is Werner Herzog's Cobra Verde. It's long and at times slow--like all of his films--but it is amazing (and Popul Vuh does the music).

    Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.

    check out Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's other stuff. City of Lost Children is a classic.

    If you enjoy unconventional films, My Dinner With Andre is a pretty good one.


    for old films, The Third Man is a surefire classic


    Au Hasard Balthazar changed my whole notion of what a movie can be


    Honorable mentions for Blood Simple and Spirit of the Beehive

    Blood Simple - yes! Cohen Brothers first big film. I thought they could do no wrong until that intolerable "Intolerable Cruelty" crap..

    this is worth renting for the intro alone!
    does anybody here use the blockbuster service? does it come close to netflix in terms of obscure dvds?

    I just started the blockbuster deal, netflix was way too slow for me (3-4 day mailing time) as far as blockbusters selection - they have most of the dvds netflix would but not "Our Latin Thing"

    But back to the topic may I suggest "Idiocracy" by Mike Judge, just came out today
