There is a huge crossover, it is true. (Which I tend to remember, because I did RHPS with a bunch of people in the Goth scene, and these things stick out.)
Is it true as well in other cities than our own?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

In my hometown, RHPS was the only socially-acceptable outlet for goths. Of course, we didn't know we were goths at the time.
When my DH did RHPS, there wasn't much of a goth community in the remoter parts of the Bay Area, so he says there was no xover.
I'm not sure I'd consider it goth, though, like as part of a starter kit. It's right on the edge of punk and goth and comedy and drag.
I'd definitely include The Hunger but I'm partial.

That was a great list, Megan. Another less-appreciated current French director I like a lot is Cantet. His movies Time Out and Human Resources were just freakin' brilliant.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

It was around here. I never went, but I had some friends who actually did the show aspect, and while none of them were goth, they met a bunch of them through via RH.

He's very good. I loved Time Out, but I'm a big fan of Karin Viard. Have you seen Vers le sud ? Because it looked like a train wreck to me and I was surprised when I realized it was him.

Hey. New board.
I am working my way through all of the movies in the International One-Minute Film Festival
It's fun.

I have not, but someone elsewhere (I think on Matt Zoller Seitz's blog) mentioned that Viard's been in some real dog turds.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Luc Besson's Nikita from my list, because I would think that buffistas would have seen (and liked) that.

I think it's sort of an honorary Not!Foreign film. I'm sure a majority of Buffistas have seen it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Man, Black Dahlia got wretched reviews. I don't even know if I want to see it now.
