The Year My Voice Broke
Nanami: The Inferno of First Love (aka Hatsukoi: Jigoku-hen)
a Koji Wakamatsu box sex would be nice
more Japanese New Wave in general would be nice
1. Blondie
2. New Order
3. The Velvet Underground
4. The Chills
5. Robyn Hitchcock
6. Sonic Youth
7. Misfits
8. Elvis Costello
9. The Cure
10. Orange Juice
runners-up:
The Shangri-Las
The Smiths
France Gall
Wipers
Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark
Grindhouse, Oldboy, Casablanca, Inglorious Basterds, Goodfellas, The Thin Red Line, Kill Bill Vol. 2, E.T., Schindler’s List, The 400 Blows, The Blair Witch Project, Band of Outsiders
I’m not a big fan of action movies or James Bond in general, but I thought it was entertaining and worth the money spent on admission. My expectations were pretty low and they were surpassed. I can’t see myself ever having the desire to watch it a second time though, and it will never be In Like Flint. I have a feeling I’d like the original Casino Royale once I actually get around to watching it.
The end of the TV series kinda blew my mind and meant a lot to me when I saw it in my younger days. I loved End of Evangelion as well, but it didn’t have the same impact on me. I haven’t re-watched it since then, but plan to eventually check out the new movies.

Pretty much anything Mario Bava or Val Lewton were involved in I usually find to be better than everything else.

F.W. Murnau, Paul Leni and Robert Wiene’s horror output is highly recommended if you like silent films.
