I watched Tracks last night and I quite liked it. Write-up will come soonish.

Tonight I'll take on Borgman. So I'll end up watching both.

Which of these is most recommended by Filmspotters of the world unite?

The Prestige
Dark Shadows
Slacker

Also, has anyone seen the 1948 Vice Versa film directed by Peter Ustinov?  I DVRed it from TCM.  Had no idea the Judge Reinhold/Fred Savage version was a remake.

Isak Borg: I'll keep that in mind.

I would go with The Prestige and then Slacker and skip Dark Shadows though I think it get some love from at least one person

The answer, obviously, is always Burton and never Nolan  :P

Of the three, I'm pretty sure the majority of Filmspotting love goes to The Prestige.

This goes out mainly to roujin. My Directors A-Z is coming up on Yash Chopra. Looking for your thoughts on my list.

Deewaar - this is from your own Top 100
Veer-Zaara - reviewed by Bondo and oldkid

Those two seem like locks for me to watch. Would you recommend Dil to Pagal Hai or Darr? Is there another title I should consider?
