A Small Set Of My Favorite Movies: Andrei Rublev
Blue
Raider's of the Lost Ark
You Can't Take It With You
Ordet

About Me:: I love a good story so if the story captures me, I can bear with some cheesy films.

I also like to think and reflect on films that offer layers of meaning. I am also drawn to shot composition particularly in Russian and Eastern films.

Speaking about slow paced and poignant film, I recently saw Kandahar. It doesn't have much of a story but it is a very vivid and pointed film about life in Afghanistan.

I am not familiar with Tarkovsky... what would you recommend on him?

WKW films, the ones I really like, are sensory films. In The Mood For Love and My Blueberry Nights are prime examples. The story is not complicated, but the visual and the music are fabulous. 2046 is rather complicated. It is best watched after watching In The Mood For Love - its sequel. It's acrtually a trilogy, the first installment is Days of Being Wild. It's only okay in my opinion, I like it because it completes the picture with the other two movies.

Blue is my most favorite of the three, Red comes in close second. White I like the least. I have to rewatch The Decalogue. There is just so much in there and 10 hours of Kieslowski is really taxing my brain.

Any chance you like some of Wong Kar Wai films??? I don't like his gangster movies like Fallen Angels and Chungking Express, but I do love In The Mood For Love and 2046, oh and My Blueberry Nights as well.
