This was a great saga and film before it was revanped and vulgarized for its rerelease. A great example of how subtle changes make or break a film, and in this case how those changes devestated my opinion of the arrogant George Lucas and this sci fi (former) classic.
I Saw this film last night at the cleveland cinemategue and had a blast. a great movie that is rediculously unintentionally funny, and a hoot to watch with an audience in the right frame of mind. Copious use of blue screen, out there dialogue, beautiful cinematography but campy story make this a must see.
I love this musical, as fresh today as the day it was made!
One of my favorite cult classics and black comedies
My favorite short film of all time. A classic in the tradition of un chien andalou and meshes in the afternoon. Anger's true masterpiece, although he will be remembered for Scorpio Rising, I truly belive this is his best and most beautiful film.
Did I miss something, because I didn't like this movie. It seems amaturish, and erratic. You can pertentiously pass off to me that the rough edges are intentional, but it was a major drawback to have kid actors half acting, unevenly paced editing, and oddly drawn out scenes. It was beautiful to look at, but for me that was the only thing I enjoyed.
I have never or rarely seen a film as beautiful as this, with such a superficial story to stand on. I love it none the less and have seen it several times!
I love Romero's work when it is concise, fun, and more than just slasher or typical horror films. Martin, Night Of The Living Dead, and Dawn of the Dead are all masterpieces of their genre. However the turning point for me in his work is Day of the Dead. It starts out great and plummits into blandness that he has never recoved from. However, most if not all of his films are well worth seeing, and many bear a strong voice for social commentary through the blood, guts, and gore, and that make Romero a worthy auteur in more than one sense.
The thing that strikes me the most of this film is its unsettling and beautiful images. I personally don't think all the ideas congeal together, there are a few loose spots. However well worth renting or seeing once, and a perfect introduction to Jane Campion's eye for psychological and sexual complexity and not to mention attention for detail.
A landmark cult classic midnight movie, that plays out like a twisted and disgusting documentary or demented 1950s home movie. However, not John Waters best film, but certaianly his most sick and vulgar, and surreally histerical. High points for Divine and Edith Massey on their performances, and Mink Stole was never lovelier or bitchier.
Awful film, one of the worst titles in the criterion collection. Blood for dracula much more fun and much better.
A consistenly rewarding film thais is ageless and timeless!
I love this film for its eccentricity, and the fact that it was filmed in my home state of Indiana, wonderful and witty! and Paul Dooley was never better as the long suffering father!
Criterion, PLEaSE?
I love it but the different versions drive me batty.
Possibly the most eloquently written Hollywood film ever made!
An artsy and strange dark avenue Lynch took Twin Peaks to. Although the story is familiar from the excellent show, and often Lynch takes the characters to repugnent and bizzare places, to me the film, although an aquired taste to many, is a visual and atmospheric masterpiece. Sheryl Lee as Laura Palmer is outstanding.
One of a selected handful of films that I can genuinely say has changed my life. The film really touched me and spoke to me in an intimate way, seeing the miserable bible salesman made me realize how unhappy I was at a job I was working at, and I left it shortly after seeing Salesman.
I love this film but I think it still has not gotten a decent transfer onto dvd.
My Number one all time favorite film!
One of my Top 5 Favorites!
