Shoot. This is getting really bad. I also remember really enjoying "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead." I haven't seen it in a hundred years so I don't know if I'd like it as much today.

Just found the cool edit feature too. I must throw up American Beauty. G-d that was a totally cool movie.

I think:
"The Truman Show"

But close to that "Casablanca maybe...or the original Frankenstein (love those original horror movies)

As for favorite animated:

The Emperor's new Groove.
The storyline might not be THAT impressive but the dialogue cracks me up EVERY time.

As a close second a film that I recently saw on tv again: "The Iron Giant"

re: Eraserhead.

The very nature of all things David Lynch is to be totally non-linear and dreamlike. I'm not sure if he secretly delights in torturing those who expect linear storytelling, but he certainly does a good job of it.
I was delighted to find that Mullholland Drive was chapterless. If you stop it completely in the middle, you have to fast-forward from the beginning or watch the whole thing again.
Stll, I love Lynch's work (okay, except Dune). Actually, to see what a great classic storyteller Lynch can be, check out "The Elephant Man" or "The Straight Story" (no, it's not about a razor:lol:)

Favorite director: Luis Bunuel- watch everyone you can get your grubby hands on, except his Robinson Crusoe. blech.

Boy he tortured the heck out of me on that. I was really trying to figure it out. It was so depressing. And the weird "alien" baby totally freaked me out. I guess I don't do good with non-linear. :blushing:

Sorry, I can't pick just one. How about these three (for now, at least):

Live action: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Stop Motion Animation: Corpse Bride
Anime: Howl's Moving Castle

I love animation, and I love kids' films. They are often so much better thought out and put together than films aimed at adults. And, I can watch them with the kid! This is always a bonus. :biggrin:

Ahw man! How can you pick the Corpse Bride over "A Nightmare before Christmas"? Don't get me wrong I like both but ANBC was definately better.
