Very good reviews, Neiba.
I'm looking forward to Interstellar. I'll probably rent it sometime soon. I admire Nolan's ambition and I like science-fiction films that are full of big ideas, which Interstellar seems to be. Not surprised to hear that the writing is a weak point, however, or that the film explains too much. Those are two issues that seem to arise in all of Nolan's work.
I plan on re-visiting Dr. Strangelove before I make my 60's list. Your review makes me more excited to do so. Hopefully some of your passion rubs off on me. I liked, didn't love, Dr. Strangelove the first time I watched it, but I caught some of it on TV a few weeks ago and found myself smiling at every scene. I think my opinion of it is going to improve with a second viewing.
I've added The Green Butchers to my watch list. Judging by your review and the fact that MovieGal recommended it to you, it must be pretty sick, but that appeals to me. I'm also a fan of Mads Mikkelson. He's a strange looking guy (and he looks ugly as a dog's a$$hole in that poster), but he's a great actor and possesses a true magnetic quality.
Keep up the good work.

MM, I think the other two films I recommended were
Efter brylluppet, which I know he will enjoy and Valhalla Rising.
