Whilst these movies are more likely to hover in my top 50, Leslie Neilsen has THE best dead-pan comedy look!
Yowsa... Shadow of the Vampire has amazing lighting!
The night scenes are sooo crisp, esp. on DVD.
How about Ghost in the Shell? I love this movie more than Akira. It is fast, packed with info and isn't lowest common denominator craaap.
I am near obsession point with Apocolpse Now Redux. SO thoughtfull and inspiring on many levels to me. Compulsive viewing in tandem with Hearts of Darkness; the making of doco.
Sure you know the ending. And maybe it isn't top 5 material, but Passion of Christ is a pretty good horror!
Being a bit obsessed with writing freaky songs has almost trapped me, and by extension da band, Photonic in Auckland. If you are in Auckland, I hope we can play a gig to which you can attend. I'd love to have the opportunity to play for ya... as long as you don't throw stuff at people. Photonic is just over two years old. Have a listen sometime soon. Rate us however you may. Email me perhaps, out of bizarrrr impetus. Craig Scott
