I'm happy to see that you're doing another movie log this year, Cob, since last year's thread was a great follow. You've really got me wanting to check out more from Ken Russell. I've only seen three of his films so far: Altered States, Tommy and Whore. I liked the first two, but I also had my issues with them.
I've seen very little of what you've logged so far. I'd like to revisit Picnic at Hanging Rock. I remember really digging the first half and I loved the atmosphere that it built, but the second half tested my patience. Ugetsu was fantastic, but it's probably been a decade since I watched it, so I don't remember many details. I always find myself wishing that I liked Terry Gilliam more because I think he's a fascinating director, but I usually find myself admiring the creativity and imagination on screen more than the films themselves, and that same sentiment applies to Time Bandits. The dual performances in Whiplash were great, but I didn't love the film as much as most people. The Yakuza was good, even though I expected more from it. I only watched Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice because it sounded like a softcore porno, then was disappointed by the lack of wank material.
Most of the ones I haven't seen are already on my watchlist, and I'll be adding the ones I hadn't previously heard of, such as The Brand New Testament, which sounds particularly interesting.
