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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
