I barely see any movies anymore. I have some favorites from back in high school and college, when I was a movie fiend. i finally got my own copy of the film Diva, which I totally loved when it came out in 1981. I also remember loving Fanny and Alexander, the one "happy" Bergman film, also came out in the 1980s.
There was a period when we were trying to watch all of the Kristof Kieslowski films, especially the Three Colors series. Those are amazing, really mysterious and beautiful. That whole insider/outsider thing that I love in HP underpins those movies. We also watched some of his Decalogue series, which are set in Poland instead of in Paris.
I don't believe in bashing other people's taste in films. i am of the "more is more" aesthetic school. i don't like it when the point of taste is to omit things--I think the point of taste is to include things.
