Films and filmmaking. Music. Watching people smile to themselves in the street. Collecting stuff I know I'll never use (guilty of buying books just because they look nice and then never reading them). Red wine. Snoozing on a summer afternoon and day dreaming when it's raining hard against your bedroom window. People who are polite to me. Exploring.
I have a slight obsession with this guy, but only coz he's so pretty:
Blimey. Erm lots and stuff? Rock mainly and offshoots there of.
Movies that have those moments that make you want to cry, not because they are sad, but just because they are so beautiful. Often in my case, beautifully hideous.
Seen as it’s impossible to list a cinephile’s list, here are just some of my faves:
North by Northwest (& anything by Hitchcock, especially his silents)
Strange Days (& anything by Bigelow)
Ichi the Killer (& all his good stuff ;-) )
The Evil Dead (yes I like the first one best)
Vengeance Trilogy
Infernal Trilogy
Colours Triology
...bloody trilogies...
Last Life in the Universe
Survive Style Five+ -(WATCH THIS NOW AND SPREAD THE WORD)
Before Sunrise
Irreversible (shudder)
Vital (shudder)
Argento's good era :-)
Svankmajer's shorts
The masses of short films that people are making and no one is watching. Shame on you, visit that damn film festival.
...etc etc etc said the King...
Spaced. Green Wing. Black Books. Father Ted. And American cinematic TV.....gonna take over your life, your computer and your broadband connection.
