Lisa and The Devil is one where I'd need someone to define "religious horror" for me to give an opinion of it. i.e. let's say a movie has the devil show up, but there isn't really any religion...

The original US release had a lot of weird exorcist stuff inserted (and altering the framing device of the plot) to capitalize on the popularity of The Exorcist and was released under the title, The...

Lisa and the Devil is gothic horror. It was my first Bava, because it was reported to be his best, and I have yet to find another Bava that I've liked as much.

Re: The Return of Torgo and Wooley's September Excite-o-rama!

From Godard, I think the only one I really enjoyed was Weekend. I find I appreciate his films more than I love them (of the ones I've seen*), which given how seismic his impact on film, there's a...

In the case of Godard, I doubt it was fear of the conformity of communism.

I fully support listening to contemporary soundtracks for silent films (I've had this experience with Buster Keaton shorts and a couple of Lon Chaney Sr silent movies).

My understanding is the book was very anti-war, so the main message of the movie at the end is basically one of the remnants of the book that subverts the standard hero-journey's adventure. It's not...

Re: The Return of Torgo and Wooley's September Excite-o-rama!

I was unaware that Bakshi's The Hobbit wasn't considered very good. I could have sworn it was a staple as I was growing up. Granted, based on things I watched growing up, you'd never think The...

I saw Jabberwocky as a teenager, I think, and was disappointed that it wasn't as funny as I was hoping after the Python movies, I was still overall positive on it. I've earned to it in my memories,...

My instinct is to guess one of the Green Knight adaptations.
Maybe the one with Sean Connery.

According to Google, that is Sword of the Valiant.

I am apparently the one person who really enjoys She. When I watched it, it didn't have the intro indicating that it was the future after an apocalypse (I didn't catch it) and hadn't much in the ways...

Fwiw, The Next Picture Show is pairing The Thief of Baghdad (1940, not the 1920's one) with 3000 Years of Longing.


I thought of this thread when listening.

I really need to rewatch that one (High Life). It was my first Denis and it probably wasn't a good entry point. Obviously I really clicked with Beau Travail when it finally showed up on the Criterion...

That's what I get for skimming threads too quickly, and not expanding the lead-in image (on mobile, images are collapsed by default).

I'm not sure if you're talking Excalibur or Camelot, but they both appear to be rentable on iTunes. Excalibur is on sale on iTunes, if you want to buy it, for $5 (which is $1 more than the rental).
