I haven't seem American Splendor yet Bobster. I cannot wait! Have been a reader of American Splendor since the early 80s, finally have it complete! Way back when I was looking for a hard to get issue I even wrote to Harvey. The reply is the most illegible chicken scratching I have seen, but I teasur...

Don't Stand Me Down is most certainly the Dexy's highpoint. It took me many years to realize this, the preppie look was disconcerting enough to discourage me from investigating at the time. Searching For The Yong Soul Rebels is a masterpiece, yet I still think Stand Me Down superior. Musically more ...

Wow!. What a great list Miss.BA. More than deserving nominees. Thanks for the re-education. Riefenstahl would be a great case that great art can come from where you least expect it. She is never even remotely critical of the machine she is documenting, but you can not fail to watch in terror. Or per...

I think most of the groups I was thining of have been named. How about, Them (Nothern Island is still British occupied isn't it?) Mott The Hoople (1st album 1969, so they kind of Qualify) Curiously no one has thought to mention Genesis or Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett. They wouldn't make my top 5, but...

Everybody is bringing up so many great films I am already scheming how to see some of the ones I am unfamiliar with. Some clarification. My deserving mention of Terrence Mallick was seperate from those whose talant has waned. Yes he was merely on a self imposed hiatus. Jonathan Demme had so much pot...

ok, thanks el vez. Adaptation was pretty engaging for the first half, where the crisis of how to film a book about a flower was the center. By the second half where the film turned into the hollywood style it was struggling against my interest waned. Like so many other sacred cows of current cinema ...

Innocent question. But why would you consider The Pianist or Lord Of The Rings american films? Rings was directed by a New Zealander, filmed in New Zealand, based on a book by a British author, starring actors from many countries. The Pianist was based on the life of a European with a Polish directo...
