Thanks for this, inky. BE WITH ME is coming to a San Francisco film festival soon. Is it a must-see?

I guess the fact that Grizzly Man is the last of these films to get a vote means that it's rated just right.

Reza, besides the Chaplin short, I've only seen one of these films: Male and Female , and I too am a fan. I'm planning to see another DeMille film on Thursday: This Day and Age . And Swanson's Beyond the Rocks on Sunday. Broken Blossoms and Madame Du Barry are lodged firmly on my want-to-see list. ...

No worse than me. The only one on your list I have seen is The Brood. Keep hoping Stalker and Quintet might grace a nearby cinema screen, but I may end up waiting a loooong time.

That sucks! I checked their website shortly after Eric posted, but decided to pass on ordering. Sorry to hear you've probably been ripped off!

It would be had it not been nominated for Foreign Film last year, thus making it ineligible for all categories next year. I haven't seen that one yet, but I highly recommend catching Nobody Knows before it leaves your area. Beautiful, heartbreaking film with stunning cinematography and fantastic ch...

Apichatpong's first feature is Mysterious Object at Noon and is available on US DVD. It was well-recieved at the 2000 Rotterdam Film Festival, and that basically first put him on the international film map. I was living in Thailand at that time, but I didn't hear about him until I was back in the s...

Eric, somewhat coincidentally I count Decasia as 2002, as that's the year I saw it at the SFIFF. I can't remember off the top of my head if it ended up as my #1 film of that year but I think it did. ( Blissfully Yours was definitely my #1 for 2003). I saw Light is Calling at this year's fest and it...

It's not a good analogy. I'm not going to debate the merits of affirmative action here. But the fact that there are few decent minority roles in Hollywood has nothing to do with quality of actors, and everything to do with the kinds of stories being told. This is not about giving minority actors a ...
