    My two favourite films ever. I think AHX takes the title. Just. Norton is incredible.

    Pierrot le fou (http://imdb.com/title/tt0059592/)

    I actually watched that a couple of weeks ago on VHS, the video store I rent from has a lot of foreign films. It was hard to follow, but a lot of Godard's movies need to be viewed more than once. I'll probably see it again when Criterion releases it on DVD next month.

    And The Vanishing (the original) rocks.

    Twin Town.
    An early Rhys Ifans role, very funny, very dark.
    p.s. I shit on Fight club :p. Seriously, that Ed Norton is wooden, in the extreme. Pitt is under rated as an actor though, in Meet Joe Black he is simply excellent.

    He's supposed to be, that's his character. He's uptight. have you seen American History X? Nothing wooden about that performance.

    It has long been one of my favourites. Too long even... I must've been way underage the first time I saw it.

    So you're saying I have buy both Breathless AND Pierrot le fou on Criterion Collection DVD? I'm not made of money.

    I refuse to see the remake of the Vanishing, just because I know how they completely ruined the ending. (And it was the same director!)

    Once is fantastic :)

    oh I saw an Irish film a while back called 'dead bodies' which I'd never heard of, which is surprising. It was surprisingly really good.
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you
