Oh okay, I thought so, though I couldn't remember the title of the painting. I have looots of symbolist paintings on my blog somewhere I think.

And yes, the odd little details were the best. (I especially love the scene where the narrator was talking about her wish to marry someone named Earl Grey in a castle in Scotland and have 9 babies, 2 ducks and a dog named Kevin); it's such an adorable movie.

I've only seen the movie once, so I can't even remember anything too specific. But there were tonnes of great little observations.

You mean a journal of yours on MB, or do you have an art blog somewhere else?
Oh and you should check out Gail Potocki, but you probably know her paintings already.

.

Oh, no these days I mostly just keep them on my disorganized tumblr blog (linked in my signature) and on a folder on my desktop. I do have an art tag on my blog but I'm not finished properly tagging everything yet. I'll definitely link you once I am though. And yes of course I'm fond of Gail Potocki; Botanica No. 23 is one of my favorites of hers)

Cool. I think there's bound to be something I'll like there.

Yeah I figured you would know already. I just bumped into her pictures yesterday when looking for a new avatar. Really interesting stuff and I really like the one you linked. I've yet to take a closer look at her portfolio. Seemed like it would be right up your alley, so I had to mention it :)

The Harder They Come (1972)

Enter the Dragon (1973)

Taxi Driver (1976)

Up in Smoke (1978)

Hair (1979)

An American Werewolf in London (1981) - I like that it features my underground station/Tottenham Court Road, and that scene where the guy gets chased by the werewolf there, sometimes crosses my mind when I've passed through there (more so before they rebuilt it) on the Northern and Central lines, and that whole porno theatre scene at Leicester Square. @jackhammer

The Terminator (1984)

Back to the Future trilogy (1985 - 1990)

Beetlejuice (1988)

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) - When I read the novel last year, thanks to this 1992 movie, Jonathan was Keanu Reeves and Mina was Winoa Ryder and Lucy was that red head; Van Helsing was Mel Brooks to me (from Dracula, Dead and Loving It) - made for a great read.

Little Buddha (1993)

Forest Gump (1994)

Interview with the Vampire (1994)

I'm also partial to a good Carry On;

Carry On Abroad
Carry On Camping
Carry On Doctor
Carry On Again Doctor
Carry On Girls
Carry On At Your Convenience
Carry On Dick
Carry On Columbus

spring to mind.

Depends what I'm in the mood for, really. Usually horror, sometimes old film noir, sometimes movies (though rarely) dramas, and sometimes psychedelic types of films. I like some comedies, but I'm picky with them so I'll just leave most them out (but not all of them) of the list to make the post shorter:

Natural Born Killers, In The Mouth Of Madness, Gummo, Carrie, Suicide Club, Beyond The Black Rainbow, Vanilla Sky, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Donnie Darko, The Butterfly Effect, Interview With A Vampire, The Blue Dahlia, Nothing Personal, Prozac Nation, Girl, Interrupted, Rampage, Se7en, Sin City, Sleepy Hollow, The Mists Of Avalon, Merlin, The Blood On Satan's Claw, Evil Dead III: Army Of Darkness, The Innocents, The Libertine, The Prestige, What Dreams May Come, Videodrome, Buffalo '66, I Sell The Dead, John Dies At The End, Eurotrip, Simon, King Of The Witches, Dark City, American Mary Dracula Untold, Immortal Beloved, Hilary & Jackie, August Rush, Holy Mountain, The Big Lebowski, The People Under The Stairs, The Shining, The Fourth Kind, Nosferatu, Over The Edge, and various different older Disney cartoon films and takes on Grimm's Fairy Tales (even though they're censored for kids, I don't care. I grew up watching them).

here are a couple different ones that people do love.
James McMurty-To Long in the Wasteland. I strongly recommend if you like some deep sole country Texas music--you will be singing with this one after you listen to it.
Terry Callier Time Peace, Lazarus Man
Both these albums are every song great

Difficult to choose but here are some favs:

Todo sobre mi madre (All about my mother) (1999) - Pedro Almodovar - probably the apex of his career. The train rides with
Ismael Lo's Tajabone murder me every time. Probably the film I've seen the most in my life, although it has been a while since I watched it.

Vozvrashcheniye (The return) (2003) - Andrey Zvyagintsev - I saw it in the theatre when it came out and the opening scenes of the deep Russian gray have carved themselves in my mind. Every few years I came back to it thinking I was exaggerating my reaction, but it remains equally powerful.

La notte di San Lorenzo (The night of San Lorenzo) (1982) - Taviani brothers - A masterpiece of Italian cinema, folk tales, small town people, WWII, some of my favorite themes, in a magical and highly emotional whole.

The Big Lebowski (1998) - Coen brothers - my favorite comedy of all time. Lends itself quite nicely to stoned watching, but holds together while sober. Complex, funny, iconic.

Cabaret (1972) - Bob Fosse - Amazingly, a musical with music I actually like. Again WWII, cabaret which is endlessly fascinating, and a queer bent.

Finding Nemo (2003) - Andrew Stanton - Funny, entertaining, emotional and has a nice message, I've seen it many a time.

Princess Mononoke (1997) - Hayao Miyazaki - Not sure if it was the first Miyazaki film I'd seen, but it's stuck with me as my favorite. Maybe the most serious and grown-up of his movies, with a clear environmentalist message, high action, spectacle and magic sprinkled throughout.

The Matrix (1999) - The Wachowskis - Favorite sci-fi movie for me, total game changer, and still holds up today.

Pulp Fiction (1994) - Quentin Tarantino - Can't have a millenial's best of list without this. Might be a little corny to mention it given its popularity, but it's popular for a good reason. I like all of his films and still look forward to new ones, even if they're not such "events" as they used to be and are diminishing in quality, but nothing will ever come close to the delightful surprise of this one. Totally iconic, endlessly replayable. Has made (or revived) the careers of everyone who was in it (where would Travolta be now if he hadn't been cast here?).

All or Nothing (2002) - Mike Leigh - Leigh is one of my favorite directors. Always socially conscious but never as bleak as Ken Loach, comic, tragic, heartwarming.
