I've never seen any of them... Oh no! I feel like... a... popular culture following sheep-like non-art lover! I hope these movies suck.

I saw it today while I was down at my local hire store, unfortunately it was on VHS. I'll have to see if  I can pick one up on the cheap (a player that is). That's interesting; I knew he died (murdered) around the time of this movies release, but was unsure what implications were involved. de Sade's book, 120 days of Sodom (which the movie is based on) is almost like a catalogue of perversions :P But as you mentioned with the movie, there is a far deeper 'study' of human cruelty at play. It took me a long time to realise this in regards to de Sade's works (I've read most of them), but it hit home in the end. He purposely intends to shock people, but once the shock valve wears off there are far more rich sub-themes shining through; even if he was a bit of a hack writer from a technical perspective.

Probably seen about three quarters of the movies on the list.

one of these three:

The Killing of a Chinese Bookie - one of my preferred American movies, has all the rough edges and is able to tell a damn honesty story without all the Hollywood bullsh*t.
or
Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes The acting!
or
Stalker  In my mid to bottom half of Tarkovsky but still fairs better than most on the list.

Tough choice between Aguirre , Betty lu(37.2 Le Matin),, Wicker man and Underground.....
let's just stay above the moral melee

keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I've seen only one (!) of this list "Eyes Wide Shut" so I didn't really have a choice. But I've seen other movies from the directors of this list.

Surprised no one voted for Suspiria yet. Love me some giallo. Hopefully will watch Lizard in a Woman's skin and Deep Red over the weekend. Eraserhead is probably my least favorite Lynch film...or maybe Twin Peaks. The television version of Twin Peaks is awesome though. I prefer Faces or A Woman Under the Influence to The Killing of A Chinese Bookie. I would probably go with Masculin Feminin or Contempt for my favorite Godard film. If you haven't already, check out Gasper Noe's Irreversible.

 
Out of this list my favorite is Stalker. Still havent seen My Name is Ivan, the Mirror, or Nostalgia, but hopefully I will change that soon. Tarkovsky is probably my favorite director, but I haven't seem a few of these films so this is also a way for me to expand my list of stuff I need to see. I haven't seen any Kurosawa films yet, I really need to do something about that.

Have you seen his stage performances? Intense stuff.

No, but it certainly shows how impressive - close to terrifying - his acting was. And all that without any formal training.

I don't think any formal training would teach to act quite like him. LOL

You're probably right. LOL

Madness = genius in this case.
