I thought about making a poll like this once but forgot about it. Unless I did make it and forgot about having made it. Anyway, vote . . . or else.  (Multiple votes allowed.) |

If a movie was played in an art house and there was nobody there to see it, did the tree really fall in the forest? -------------

I've only seen Eraserhead (which I enjoy) but don't feel like voting since I've only seen one of the choices.

| Eraserhead is the only movie on this list I've seen so no vote. While it's a great movie, I should see some of the other movies off your list. Aguirre, Eyes Wide Shut, and Buffalo 66 are all movies I've wanted to see at some point. |

I've actually owned Eyes Wide Shut for nearly two years now (got it with the Kubrick box set) but still haven't watched it.

I voted for Werner Herzog's (one of my favourite directors) Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes, a masterpiece that shows human degradation more profoundly than any other film I know. Klaus Kinski was a lunatic  -------------

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. |

Stalker for me, + a sympathy vote for Science Of Sleep. You really liked Eyes Wide Shut?  You must be the only one |

You're probably right. Madness = genius in this case. -------------

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.

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.

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

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. Anyone want to convince me on Salò? I've read the book, thought about seeing the movie. |

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. |

Betty Blue out of that choice. Second would be Suspiria.
