Did we really another 2hr and 30min movie about robots smacking each other upside the head? Though most of that running time will contain needless exposition, half-assed “character development”, lame comedy bits and many low angle shots of government agents getting out of helicopters in slo-mo.
I’ll be seeing The Hurt Locker because, at least, Katherine Bigelow knows how to direct action.
1. Mulholland Drive
2. The Straight Story
3. The Elephant Man
4. Twin Peaks (the series)
5. Blue Velvet
6. Eraserhead
7. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
8. Wild At Heart
9. Lost Highway
10. Inland Empire
As fitting for such a divisive director, I consider 1-5 brilliant to strong, while 6-10 ranges from interesting mess to completely unwatchable.

name of film: No Country for Old Men
Character name: Anton Chigurh

Most impressive one-take tracking shot? almost 3 years ago
I’ll add another one that hasn’t been mentioned: the opening shot of Johnnie To’s Breaking News.
