Europa Europa

 

Europa Europa is excellent. I'd only seen it because my wife had watched it in a German class. Seems like a very overlooked film.

 

 

 

Yeah, for me it's sort of both the definitive holocaust film and one of the definitive coming of age films, too. Too bad it kind of faded from film memory, but that makes it more of an undiscovered gem.

 

Though I haven't seen it for a long time, there's another film that kind of reminds me of Europa Europa that could have been on my list - Before the Rain.

An odd film that somehow captures that blend of the surreal and very real nature of real life. I guess those are the sorts of films I like the most, like Herzog, the blend of the documentary aspect of real life, with the absurdity and surreality. Funny because I typically detest so-called magical realism, but I totally get Herzog's notion of "ecstatic truth", down to the core of my being.

Down By Law

 

oh yeah, good choice. i used to watch that pretty frequently.

 

around the same time i kept re-watching 'The Hired Hand' as well.. mostly for the soundtrack, i think, but it's a good movie anyway. 'Dead Man' got quite a few plays too.

 

what's a philistine?

When I was younger, I kept a tally of how many times I watched Jurassic Park. I got up to 40+

 

I always make a point of showing people Boogie Nights, so that's probably in the 20's or 30's. Still not sick of it.

Happiness is the most depressing funniest movie ever. In case anyone here likes it. I do, too. Its just massively fucking depressing hilarious

I laugh almost the whole way through this movie. It's long been my favorite comedy.
