Hope you're hungry because it's almost dinner time.
Then bath time?

Badlands and Cries and Whispers were on my list!
Badlands is one of my favorite Malick films and im happy it made the list. Though i thought it would be higher.
This what i wrote in last great foreign film you watched about Cries and Whispers
Cries and Whispers (1972) by Ingmar Bergman
My second favorite Bergman film, right after Persona. Sublime Cinematography by Sven Nykvist. A captivating story about the female psyche, repressed feelings and death with explicit scenes of horrific character.
Roger Ebert describes it very well in his greatest movies: "Bergman never made another film this painful. To see it is to touch the extremes of human feeling. It is so personal, so penetrating of privacy, we almost want to look away".
One of the most powerful movies i have seen and definitely in my top 20. Im sure i will revisit this movie in the near future.

MY LIST
25. Will not make it, but really should have
25. Will not make it, but really should have
Grease makes it, but no love for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Disappointed.
Stop getting my hopes up people. [Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is] not showing this far into the game.
Such a shame that Mr. Wonka has failed to show up 
If Wonka isn’t on in the next 4 it will be the 70s version of Mystic River. And Titanic. And Gandhi.
And now, rauldc14 must officially retire from prognasticating.

I would be surprised and pleased if my #1 doesn't show up in the next couple days.

Neither film is on my list, though they're both decent enough. Willy Wonka just doesn't do much for me, though I'll make sure to give it a proper viewing here soon, and I do like A Woman Under the Influence, but I've only seen it once. Unlike The Killing of Chinese Bookie, which I've seen several times, both its long version and, in my eyes, the much better reedited shorter version, and it was up for consideration on my list, but in the end I didn't include any Cassavetes films. I suppose this means The Killing of a Chinese Bookie won't make the list, but I was hoping it would.

You're really starting to suck as a host, ya know, by trying to take away people's happiness. This is something Raul is looking forward to and you do nothing but give canned snark. Shame on you.

Have you ever considered the idea that you're the one making him so snarky?
