Unfortunately, no - I bet it was quite the experience watching it in that kind of environment though!

Some great choices there, Bub. :nod:

Again, there are a few I've yet to see.

It certainly was quite the experience and not just because of the film. I will never forget, the last dude that came up for the audience Q&A after the screening of the film basically said to Paul Hyett that he thought the pacing of the film was awful and would the director reconsider re-editing it!

Letters to Juliet is just a charming film set in Verona and the surrounding countryside. Besides most people round here love films with Franco Nero and Fabio Testi in them. :happy:

Sint is one i'm almost stunned you haven't seen. Dutch director Dick Mass's take on the Saint Nicholas legend. Very gory and a lot of fun. You really need to watch it this coming Christmas.

The American starring George Clooney as a hit man hiding out in a small Italian village is a superb film. A lovely languid pace with gorgeous cinematography. Highly recommended. Paul@The Overlook also rates this very highly.

A Dangerous Method - David Cronenberg - need i say more?

My Week with Marilyn - Behind the scenes on the Prince and the Showgirl. kenneth Branagh is superb as Laurence Olivier.

Juan of the Dead and Kill Zombie! - Two terrific takes on the usual zombie outbreak stuff.

Mindflesh - A gloopy, gory, utterly bizarre, mind **** of a movie. A certain Mr. Teardrop recommended this.

Sint and Mindflesh sound particularly interesting - I've added the latter to my rental list just now and will have to make a mental note to rent the former around the Xmas season. :nod:

A Dangerous Method is the only Cronenberg film I've yet to see, having watched Maps to the Stars the other week.

I'm the same, I looked at my collection for inspiration and 80% of my collection is pre-1990! Most films today don't really do it for me.

I've always considered myself more a fan 'older' cinema too (especially the '60s-'80s), but there are certainly some great films to be found in more recent times - I guess it depends on what you're into and how deep you're willing to dig though I suppose!

I'd certainly say that in a lot of ways the 2010s is shaping up to be a more interesting decade cinematically than the 2000s or the 1990s were... at least for me. :nod:

The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears is currently on its way to me - I've been meaning to check this one out for a while having enjoyed its pre-cursor, Amer.
