Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
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 said this on Facebook, too, but I'll say it anywhere: Snowpiercer is the single most visually astonishing movie I have ever seen. As I said there, I wanted something that could stop me from blinking so that I didn't miss a single frame.
Older-but-striking: Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children, Brazil...
