Wow, how'd I miss this post?
Good work MLCMan, and very decent pace. Hey . . . another candidate for the AlmerÃa sub-2 bus?
With you on the Brookes lads, though I'm still on the
Adrenalines; must look into these
Vapour fellows. Hmm (rubs chin) . . . Vapours . . .
Turning Japanese wasn't it? Good stuff.
12 Monkeys - Brazil . . . Brazil - 12 Monkeys . . .
not sure it's an 'either/ or' situation. I love
Brazil but it's by far the 'easier' if the two films to enjoy. 12 Monkeys usually takes at least a second watch before all the pennies drop. That's not a criticism; I rather like movies that are full of ambiguity (as opposed to just downright confusing). Gilliam is terribly hit-n-miss; these two are certainly hits.
Like Andy, and in the spirit of another enjoyable yarn,
Hi Fidelity, I occasionally draw up cinematic Top Tens.
Brazil often gets in there,
12 Monkeys rarely if at all. Perhaps it's time to review that; Sweder Top Ten regular
Blue Velvet may have to take some time out, especially as its marginally less disturbing Lynch-driven cousin
Wild At Heart has a regular seat at the table.
One thing's for sure;
Alien and
The Hunger are nailed on Hall-Of-Famers
