Horror wise it would be hard to pass up on some of these titles: Blood And Black Lace Castle Of Blood El Vampiro (Region 2 PAL dvd) "Permit me to introduce myself.My name is Mabuse.Dr Mabuse".

(Malle's section of the film is also quite good).As a Canadian, I'm sure no one down south thinks of our movies as "foriegn" but we hold up our own- check out the recent book THEY CAME FROM WITHIN for a good history of canuck horror...we're not just Cronenberg and tax shelters!

Mar 6 06 3:06 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Good list, Pulpmonster. But if I made one change, it would be: Three Colors Trilogy (especially Red) (1993-94) I love WHITE as well, and BLUE, but RED is one of the truly great films of any type from the nineties. A masterpiece. Well, I guess they all are.

Mar 9 06 3:52 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I can't get enough of Lang's colorful and exciting The Tiger of Eschnapur and The Tomb of Love (which together seem to be referred to as The Indian Tomb). "Pass me through your fingertips/Throw me down like an old rag/I'm not standing/Don't look back/Are you human or a dog?"

Mar 9 06 4:06 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	All non-genre, but what the heck... I really liked Jean de Florette and the follow-up Manon of the Spring. Also the recent Amelie. I'm also fond of Lang's M, and Bertolucci's 1900. And Tati's Jour de Fete. That's a delightful little film.

Mar 9 06 5:34 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Eventually, Fellini finally DID a real comic book; TRIP TO TULUM, with fabulous art by Milo Manara! I agree Fellini was probable the most accessible of all "Art Film" directors, and all the better for it. (In general, I have a fondness for the Italians- even their trashiest films are a LITTLE bit artsy; and even their artsyist films are a LITTLE bit trashy.And they've always embraced genres of all sorts; look at how Leone managed to rebuild the Western so thoroughly even Hollywood had to concede he'd changed the rules of the game).

Mar 9 06 6:31 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	*Quote:* Eventually, Fellini finally DID a real comic book; TRIP TO TULUM, with fabulous art by Milo Manara ????? I can't find that title on the IMDb, not in itself, not among Fellini's credits, or among those of Manara, either. Or are you referring to a graphic novel rather than a movie? Incidentally, since others had listed many of Fellini's films before I got around to posting a response here, I didn't think I should just repeat the titles. 8 1/2 is one of the best movies ever made, and is partly about Fellini's being unable to make a science fiction film he'd been working on for some time. Fellini wrote fumetti scri pts before turning to movies; one of his earliest films, THE WHITE SHEIK, was about a fumetti star.

Mar 9 06 8:15 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yes, TRIP TO TULUM is a graphic novel; sorry for the confusion. It's very self- referential; Fellini initially "plays" himself in it, but then "casts" Mastrioni to be the lead for the rest of the strip. Jordorworky and Moebius show up as characters, talking about a failed film project being reworked as a comic- a veiled reference to their own transforming of DUNE into the "Incal" series. Manara's artwork captures all the likenesses perfectly, of course: his drawing throughout is his usual perfection. (Although Manara is best known for his erotic comics, he's done a number of more ambitious strips, including collabarations with CORTO MALTESE creator Hugo Pratt- a top European cartoonist who was a cousin of Boris Karloff!)
