Great Movies. (At least I like 'em.)

1) Vanilla Sky.


Abre los Ojos, the original, was MUCH better, says I. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. No bullshit flashiness, better music, much darker, and didn't have that duck-faced, talentless bitch, Cameron Diaz.

2) A Clockwork Orange.


Correct.

3) Casino.


It was good. It's probably the most definitive of this genre, but I'm just not a big fan of this genre, overall.

4) Apocalypse Now


Correct.

I'd add all my favs to this list, but you can only shove 65,535 characters into a textarea. ;) But here are some all time tops, in no order (most are Chinese and by two directors):


Farewell My Concubine
To Live
Heavy
Raise the Red Lantern
Hero (not the Quentin Tarantino import -- the original Zhang Yimou cut -- I have it on DVD)
Lost Highway
The Loss of Sexual Innocence
Stealing Beauty
Shanghai Triad
The Emporer and the Assassin
The Yellow Earth
Dune
Lolita (Lynne's not Kubrick's)
Eyes Wide Shut
Bladerunner
Wild at Heart


...and I have this odd fascination with the Suicide Circle (aka "Suicide Club") as of late.


All for now. Keep it deep.
