I still remember Un Chien Andalou fondly. It sent numerous college athletes from my Motion Picture Appreciation class running for the toilets while I sat there chuckling thanks to 15 years of Creature Feature marathons and reading Lovecraft and King before bed.
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
each child has a horrible accident and is NEVER SEEN AGAIN.
Oh yeah, I remember. So you're left wondering WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THEM....
Didn't Wonka say he might be able to fix miniaturized TV Boy? Or that he couldn't fix him? For some reason I remember being more freaked out about his fate than the others. Maybe I was wondering if he was supposed to be tiny for the rest of his life....

Ann, that's a ferret.
Blair Witch Project is definitely a horror film, and there's no blood at all. So I wouldn't dismiss the argument about Willy Wonka. Though I'd probably call Willy Wonka more of a morality play.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Awesome thoughts, y'all! Thank you, and I shall pass them on.
Ooh - good one from DH - The Matrix
Heh. That and Ocean's 11 were the first ones out of my mouth. Then, I said Blade Runner , but she probably wouldn't have time to pick apart BR (it's due Monday, I get my procrastination tendencies honestly).

Oh, yeah. With the Oompa-Loompas' preachy little songs? Totally.

The part in the tunnel was my favorite part as a kid! That and Veruca's song.

Oh my god, the tunnel is SO jacked-up!!!
...and it's been pointed out to me more than once that Veruca's song ought to be my theme song. Particularly when I was a little girl, when I was even more of a self-entitled instant gratification junkie than I am now.
t edit Although I don't know if "bean feast" is to be taken literally, because despite the fact that I enjoy a good legume, I don't really want, like, a banquet table of beans. That line always bugged me.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
At the end of the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie and Wonka look down from the elevator to see the other four kids lined up at the factory exit with their trucks of chocolate (even though they broke the rules, Wonka gave them their lifetime supplies). Veruca is covered in garbage (in the book, she went down the garbage chute, not to the boiler), Augustus is squeezed thinner, Violet is violet but no longer blueberry-shaped, and Mike Teevee is about seven feet tall (they stretched him too much).

Empress! That was awesome! I had no idea.
