Until the End of the World
One of the greatest soundtracks that I have ever listened to.
Until the End of the World
Unfortunately I never actually owned the soundtrack, but I used it for an extremely long amount of time thanks to the public library.
The film is very good too, by Wim Wenders. If you haven't seen the film, you should. Nick Cave and his band are in the film so that's reason enough to check it out.
And my movie recommendation of the week is....
Half Baked by Tamra Davis. She is married to a Beastie Boy and also is the director of my other classic favorite movie: Billy Madison.
Say what you will about Adam (but watch it, he's a cool guy), that movie is one of the greats.
Being a film person I have some strange film preferences. I have never seen Citizen Kane, Clockwork Orange, or Titanic. Why?? In some cases I just don't want to, mostly because I enjoy being stubborn and having people ask me, "Why haven't you seen Citizen Kane? It's a classic. You HAVE to see it."
No, I don't. And I don't even have to have a reason.
A couple of my own 'classics/favorites' are:
The Doors
Heathers
Reality Bites
Twin Peaks Fire Walk with Me
St.Elmo's Fire
(I am a product of my time)
Weird Science
Billy Madison
Half Baked
Dirty Dancing
Secretary
Adaptation
The Good Girl
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Clueless
Dazed and Confused
Waking Life
I guess I could go on forever, almost never met a film I didn't like, unless it was by Disney or Ivan Reitman (ha, ha).
But, I started with Wim Wenders and so I will finish with recommending another film classic, this time by Jean Luc Godard Masculine/feminine.
Oh yeah and for some reason that makes me think of that awesome film The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeousie.
See that one too. It's directed by Louis Bunuel.
If you actually watch any of these movies, let me know what you think, or don't.
I don't actually care.

Fear & Loathing gets my vote as well!
Ever watch "Dr. Strangelove..."? That's one black 'n white flick you gotta see, especially if you're into cold-war era political thrillers directed by a razor-sharp director (Stanley Kubrick, if my memory isn't a traitor).

it's funny but Dr.Strangelove is always one I've wanted to see and a lot of people have recommended it, and yet I still never have seen it...
I am going to make it my mission to see this movie... soon.
9:12 a.m.
