And PLEASE again only pick five.

[IAmNietzche]

Regardless of what the poll comes out to, you HAVE to see Manufactured Landscapes and Brother's Keeper.

[Recovery Room]

Regardless of what the poll comes out to, you HAVE to see Manufactured Landscapes and Brother's Keeper.
These two and I really like Planet B-Boy.

[Thomas Balkcom]

These two and I really like Planet B-Boy.

I've been wanting to just sit down and watch this movie for so damn long.

[Wake Up]

The Garden is great as well

[kemichels]

You should add MINE in there.

[-Aaron-]

Both "Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock?" and "I Like Killing Flies" have amazing people in them. I still can't imagine ever talking to them in person. What characters.

[TJ Wells]

Bumped, though I've pretty much decided on 4 of the 5. Fifth slot is up for grabs.

[TJ Wells]

Manufactured Landscapes, I Like Killing Flies, Tarnation, Brother's Keeper. Then either Planet B-Boy or Into the Arms of Strangers.

[JordanBuell]

Have you seen food inc?

[TJ Wells]

Have you seen food inc?
Oh yes.

[uh oh smmoreo]

I enjoyed Mad Hot Ballroom a lot. It really is cool to see how these kids are transformed.

[Holly HoX!]

king of kong: fistful of quarters

[bluntpoet]

Planet B-Boy looks so rad. I need to see it.

[deadkidsean]

Mad Hot Ballroom is that shiiiit.

[TJ Wells]

Decided to add Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories from the Kindertransport as the 6th film...only because I hate how that picture looks.

I loved the five minute scene of just panning the warehouse. Incredible how that many people can work together at a single time and where I am, a team of six people, people don't do shit and get into physical altercations.

[colorlesscliche]

I've also watched Jackson Pollock and Planet B-Boy, but a lot better than Landscapes.

Since I really want to get to my Kubrick marathon, I'm going to try to burn through these the next couple weeks. Also starting up an Auteur marathon for May, hope people actually participate this time.
