Play It Again, Sam (1972)
The funniest film I've seen!
Why is this film not considered his best? It's continually and brilliantly funny, and very close to home, for both men and woman (at least the neurotic specimens that I've seen it with). It also has the ability to make you feel good about yourself, and although exagerrated, has an honesty that is extremely rare.

I shouldn't have expected something deeper
I was wrong in expecting something deeper. I didn't get it. The central character (who was suitably unpleasant) invited us to witness increasingly unpleasant acts, but if the film was meant to educate or reveal as to why we watch this it didn't, or was too subtle for me. I perhaps wasn't interested enough, as the theme that drew me to watching this film didn't outweigh it's flatness and dullness. If it simply meant to open the debate, fair enough. Can someone please enlighten me if I've missed something, although whatever I may have missed doesn't alter the fact that this is a dull film, for all it's violence.
Dal Polo all'Equatore (1987)
Incredible!
Footage from an Italian explorer during the colonial period, reconditioned, tinted, slowed down, and accompanied by dark ambient music. This has to be seen! Very beatiful, eerie, and brutal at times. War, hunting, colonial expansion and domination, and (as I remember) holding a rabbit by the ears as a dog savages it to death (super entertainment for the ladies present, and jolly good fun!)
Sayat Nova (1969)
Utterly beautiful
Hauntingly beautiful, and not just visually. Fantastically evocative music. Don't bother with comments from the USA on this page, in fact can you all please stick to reviewing the second rate 'movies' you understand and stop cluttering up these pages. Thanks! Basically, a stream of gorgeous artefacts, clothes, scenes, and people, accompanied by poetry.
