The Lukas Moodysson double pair, Fu<king Amal (Show Me Love) and Together

You won't regret it!

Hell yeah.  Two amazing, amazing films.
I’ve lied to men who wear belts. I’ve lied to men who wear suspenders. But I’d never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both a belt and suspenders.

Kelly Reichart's Old Joy and Wendy & Lucy [instant watch Wendy & Lucy now! :]
Lizzie Borden's Working Girls [instant watch me now! :]
Su Friedrich's Sink or Swim [instant watch me now! :]
Chantal Akerman's Night and Day, The Captive, and Jeanne Dielman
Tsai Ming-liang's Good Bye, Dragon Inn and I Don't Want to Sleep Alone

But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

Yeah, I've wanted to watch Umberto D ever since we saw a clip in African American Film to lead us into Killer of Sheep. I need to watch 8 1/2 though as well. Plus, Hotel for Dogs, I need to watch Hotel for Dogs.

I am not done with this thread yet but yes, stupid of me to miss Denis. Also, I wasn't sure which film to endorse since I think the people who love her films here all seem to have a different favorite. I'll go with Friday Night.
Also, separately, Syndromes and a Century. Am sure I'll think of more eventually.

Pather Panchali




Good film, but I'd recommend Aparajito more.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

Relatively easy to find DVD titles:

A Short Film About Killing
La Jetee
The Spirit of the Beehive
Il Posto
Army of Shadows
Harakiri
Wages of Fear
Battle of Algiers
Monsieur Hulot's Holiday
Ugetsu



What do you guys think of a FYC thread?  That would be too overwhelming?
