23, all but Ghost In The Shell and Inception. The Day The Earth Stood Still and Forbidden Planet are among my favorites. I'm looking forward to the next restored Metropolis, too.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

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.

I think I'm looking forward to Metropolis more than the Lord of the Rings movies!

Speaking of LOTR. I met a lovely woman today whose actual, given name is Lothorian. I spent an unseemly amount of time praising her parents' coolness.

Shouldn't it be "Lothlorien"? Or is there something else in the Silmarillion I don't know about?

I'd put Silent Running up there
I loved it when I saw it back in the early 80s (at a revival house), but dear lord I know the Joan Baez songs would make me want to plunge ice picks in my ears now.

Nothing wrong with good folk music. And Joan Baez in her prime had one of the great voices of the age. (She still has a first rate voice, but at the time she had a once-in-a-generation instrument.)

Hell, yeah. Her singing "Amazing Grace" acapella is incredible. Actually, her singing anything acapella is incredible.

Baez could have moved an audience to tears singing the phone book.

Clearly you've never watched The T.A.M.I. Show where her version of "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling" is unbelievably stiff and lacking in any R&B feel. She needs to stick to "Joe Hill."
