Hi,

Wow ... I've seen 21 of those films!

I'll have to check my listing of reviews and then see what I like the best, although for me, Bunuel is usually the winner in that list, but the incredible visualization of the bombastic show of the iron dragons is something hard for me to forget.

A few more:

That Obscure Object of Desire (1977) (Bunuel)

Aguirre, The Wrath of God (1972) (Herzog)

Dersu Uzala (1975)

Stalker (1979)

The Conformist (1970)

The Holy Mountain (1973) (Jodorowski)

Nosferatu (1979) (Herzog)

The Tin Drum (1979)

Death in Venice (1971) (Visconti)

Murmur of the Heart (1971) (Malle)

Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971) (John Schlesinger)

Day for Night (1972) (Truffaut)

1900 (1976) (Bertolucci)

Hard to make a choice ... so many great things and AGUIRRE is a must see for any "krautrock" fans, since it shows Klaus Kinski improvising left and right, although he did twice as much in FITZCARRALDO later. Compare his free form, to Damo Suzuki in TAGO MAGO and you will be surprised.

I suppose that the "freedom" and "exploration" (see it in Herzog's film about his friend), that gave us so much art in music, film, theater and other realms is for me, one of the best around. But "improvisation" had been around Germany for a while, and was very alive in a lot of European Theater, and Fassbinder was no stranger to it, and at times, you can see the actors struggling with what to say next.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

A Clockwork Orange and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest stand out for me, in the list.

I don't know them all, but there are a lot of great ones in there, really tough choice. Also I need to revisit a few movies here, when I have some time.

Pick anything not on the the poll if you like. I will go with Star Wars(Entertaining), Godfather(Interested me at watching it), Celine and Julie(This 3-hour movie was very satisfying), and Monty Python and the Holy Grail(Hardest I ever laughed at a movie). I have not really seen most of these films, the only other two I seen were Petra von Kant(really good, but just saw it) and Rocky Horror Picture Show(Very fun musical). I want to see what you people think.
