Movies We Plan to Watch

Introduction

The Love Interest and I plan on watching some movies together. Most of them are her recommendations (the checked ones are mine) because I never know what movies to watch with people. I'm also the type who could only watch a movie once and am dumbfounded by people's ability to buy a movie and watch it to kill time. Maybe it's an attention span thing.

Henry and June

She is a big Henry Miller fan. And Anais Nin. According to her, this was the movie that spawned the "NC-17" rating, and according to one of the You Tube comments, the thing that spawned it was the postcard where the octopus is pleasuring a woman.

Apparently You Tube hosts the whole movie.

Harold and Maude

Yeah, I've never seen it, and everyone says I should. What are they trying to say here?

Belle de Jour

I don't remember why we have to see it. She just told me to write it down. In this clip, it shows a character getting whipped, probably to prove she has a tough and/or no feeling in her back.

The Dunwich Horror

One of her favorite movies of all time.

Stardust Memories

One of my favorite movies of all time.

Matador

She's a huge fan of director Pedro Almodovar.

Brazil

One of my favorite movies in high school. Strange how relevant and timeless this movie is.

Dead Man

A movie we've both intended to see, but never got around to.

Kung Fu Hustle

www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMUSMmR3jsU

One of the most original movies I've seen in a while.

Ichi the Killer

Instead of subjecting anyone to a horrid scene, here's an interview for one of his other movies.

Oldboy

This really is one of those movies that has "a place in film history." Still every time I think about it, it makes me queasy -- not because of the action, or from being a target from the Virginia Tech incident, but because of the actual story.

Max

It has an armless John Cusack, comments on art, contains Hitler, and has a cameo by someone who plays Dada Surrealist Max Ernst.

Tale of Two Sisters

www.youtube.com/watch?v=anF5XiN8QY8

Huh. Classic date movie.

Tokyo Godfathers

www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxCvrzVBuXw

A verrry cute movie with substance.

Poltergeist

www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6HKYWzAXHg

We've collectively seen scenes, interviews, and documentaries throughout our lives and we've never seen the entire movie.

Hedgehog in the Fog

www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRsXU4Q6a0Q

It's a short, which means it fits on You Tube.

5 Obstructions

Some sort of documentary based on "The Perfect Human" which I have a link to. I wouldn't say it's the finest short film, but it's aesthetically very beautiful.

I've seen Harold and Maude, and I'm not everyone, but I say you shouldn't. I didn't care much for it (although I like all those daisies in the clip!) Why don't you draw us some more doodles instead of wasting your time on that one. :)

She owns Belle de Jour. Maybe she's hinting that she wants to degrade me (she also owns whips, and a horse and carriage, and two drivers). Here's the plot description from IMDB: "Severine is a beautiful young woman married to a doctor. She loves her husband dearly, but cannot bring herself to be physically intimate with him. She indulges instead in vivid, kinky, erotic fantasies to entertain her sexual desires. Eventually she becomes a prostitute, working in a brothel in the afternoons while remaining chaste in her marriage."

And maybe I'll doodle while watching Harold and Maude.
