I've always wanted to see Clockwork Orange. Love the director (would spell his name poorly), and heard it was really good. One day it will happen............i hope. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Stanley Kubrick and his other famous movie - 2001: A Space Odyssey is another masterpiece. |

I always like to watch A clockwork Orange when I feel like something strange or just a nasty urge for A bit of the ultra violence. I'm singing in the rain... |

Don't forget Dr. Stranglove. I love that movie. There is some great comedy in there. Also, Peter Sellers is fantastic in almost every scene (and by that i mean he almost in every scene in the movie playing three parts.) Kubrick is a genuis of filmmaking ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Spinal Tap Another good one would be 2001: A Space Odyssey... and who could forget The Wall (not the best movie, but still good)? Then there's also The Rutles: All You Need is Cash, and the Monty Python films... and if you really like Spinal Tap, I recommend Fear of a Black Hat, Spinal Tap except with Gangster Rap, VERY VERY VERY VERY funny. -------------

You aren't! They're great. I love the"Not being seen"-sketch, and the Italian lesson, the "Cheese Shop" and......(ok, stop  )And their running gags, lovely But, do you know "Fawlty Towers"? A great comedy-series! Ok, the films: For me Kubrick is the greatest director. Dr. Strangelove is my favourite of him and "The Godfather" (Coppola) is also great |

If you guys are into Kubrick, you should try out two of his earlier films, 'Paths of Glory' and 'The Killing'... both brilliantly executed and make far more sense than '2001 A Space Progessy!' For me, The Conversation, Taxi driver, Once Upon A Time In America, Goodfellas, The Godfather I & II, Unforgiven, French Connection & Chinatown represent some of the greatest cinematic experiences to come out of post 1970 America... well, you did ask... Films are something I could talk about all night long!!! ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

MULHOLLAND DRIVE one of the greastes movies in the world, really looking foward for my next LYNCH EXPIRIENCE. never seen a Kubrick Film, although i problably will when i have some free time. You know, rent a couple movies, invite my intellinget-movies friend, maybe a girl, and really melt my mind THE Greatest movies ever (if you are me): Memento The Godfather THE Others Pulp Fiction Being John Malcovich Eternal Sunshine OF The Spotless Mind Ahhh, hard of the top of my head ------------- iF I HAD SOMETHING INTERESTING TO SAY I WOULD SAY IT...

OMG !! How could I forget "Mulholland Drive"? - Sheer Brilliance Had to watch it twice before I really began to understand what it was about. The same with "Blue Velvet" - whoa - David Lynch makes some real mind bending films. Just the thing for intellectual discussions of what it all means... -------------

If you think Mulholland Drive is weird (great film, by the way), have any of you seen 'Lost Highway'? I thnk 'The Others' is a bit predicatble, and Being John Malcovich really (IMO) only bears one viewing (I think 'Adaptation' is better), but Memento & Pulp Fiction are great, as is Eternal Sunshine... which reminds me, have any of you seen Christopher Nolan's (Memento) first film, following?

Prog movies? The Life Aquatic Shaun of The Dead Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Clerks Snatch Resivior Dogs but personally, I think, intelligent people like progheads should like any movie that they can appreciate not only for entertainment value, but for other qualities as well. Which is why we love prog. ------------- "...And the lord said: Let there be metal" |

Have just finished watching the entire "Matrix" trilogy on pay tv. Now that is good proghead stuff although the sound-track is definitely not!!! -------------

I like "The Phantom of the Paradise" by Brian de Palma, good rock from seventies!
Another good musical: Hedwig and the angry inch. Anybody is fond of Korean movies? I love Oasis, Oldboy, My Sassy Girl, The Foul King, Memories of a Murder, Il mare,... They have a very solid cinematographic industry. |

I think Zabriskie's Point is a pretty progressive movie....excellent soundtrack! The movie High Fidelity....a pretty funny but ultimately lame movie....features a poster of Crimso's Discipline LP on the wall of the record shop where the main character works/owns. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

Funny... Clockwork Orange has always been my favorite movie, and it appear like most progheads love that movie too... coincidence... 2001 : Space Odyssey is another of my favorite. Watching it stonned with Tangerine Dream's Zeit or Pheadra is just awesome... |

I was thinking the exact same thing. I've alwasys enjoyed A Clockwork Orange, though I do wish the movie would have included the last chapter from the original book. Still is a great movie. ------------- And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime. I never said I was frightened of dying. |

Waking Life If you haven't seen this movie yet, you have an interest in philosophy, lucid dreaming, art house type movies, or just want an interesting view, check it out! The visuals of the movie are very progressive in themselves It does have a pretentious layer to it at first, and after the first few views i wasn't sure whether or not i really liked it. Then i watched it some more and i now love it! I guess i just got used to that layer and was able to see past it and even not mind it. |

2001 A Space Odyssey is the ultimate prog head movie! My reasonings!: -40 minutes of dialogue in a 2hour-15min movie (the silent parts could be seen like prog instrumental parts) -THE STARGATE/BEDROOM SEQUENCE (unbelievably prog if you ask me) -abstact concepts -the just-plain spaced out feel -it's a Kubrick film ------------- OBQM: www.soundcloud.com/onebigquestionmark (solo project) nQuixote: www.soundcloud.com/n-quixote (ambient + various musical ideas) |
