"the magic christian" -peter sellers and ringo starr
"steppenwolf" (I was a pretty high teenager, but I think it was great)
"baraka" by the cinematographer for koyanasqtsi (sp?) his rebuttal to reggio's premise that life is out of balance, fricke asserts that life is constantly seeking balance. IMO, an extremely beautiful movie with an exceptional soundtrack. (anything other than glass)

Best musical film ever (well, ok not best but up there with The Wall)

Dreary. When we got it from Netflix we didn't even finish watching it.

I wanna see it, but Velvet Goldmine is higher on my list.

Pity we dont have a copy and my mother won't netflix it for me ("It's not appropriate", etc... I hate responsible parenting...)

they have netflix in Thailand? Isn't that where you are?

I wish I had bought stock in netflix at the beginning.

Ibby 06-13-2006 04:32 PM

Taiwan, actually.

Well, I dont think Netflix actually ships here, BUT, the embas--... er, American Institute in Taiwan has an address you can send stuff to in Virginia, and when it arrived there it's promptly sent to the AIT office here where it's distributed to the rightful recipients. Quite a nice system.

"Velvet Goldmine "

Enjoyable film. Eddie Izzard rocks

Aww....Bill Hicks, what a guy. I went to see him when he played the beer tent in Manchester. Was awesome. My ex and I were in Manchester just hangin around and we bumped into his dad who just happened to be a Guardian critic at the time. He told us he was reviewing Bill Hicks and invited us to join him. We'd never heard of him but we leapt at the chance of free entry to a comedian's show and free half time drinks to boot.

Two years later he was dead and well on the way to hero status. ( Bill that is.....Ex's dad is still going strong)

Sorry, I knew there was a tai invloved somewhere. Sounds like a good system, except when it comes to things like ice cream.:D

Oh wow, I almost remember seeing that. It was the early 80s, which is why I only almost remember.

It was bizarre.
