Its finale is the most fully annihilative visualization of the Rapture ever put to screen, a mass death rendered as cathartic release from the hell of existence that, in a parting act of cruelty, leaves the broken, suicidal protagonist alive to bear witness to oblivion. Where I come from is always: I’m obsessed with these two people, and I want to write scenes where these two people are gonna have the most fun. First thing: There’s NO WAY that the Clash’s ‘Cut The Crap’ should be on this list,PERIOD! My mom, even more so. In terms of the “heaven” scenes, they make such an intriguing blend of both heightening Dick’s real life and combining sublime cinematic flights of fancy like a Fred and Ginger musical number. a-ha – Hunting High and Low. Shame no one was listening at that point. I asked two students to interview each other about their fears about their senior thesis project. It wasn’t that she was my student. It’s like the way in which plane travel changed my life compared to my parents’ life. Yeah, I remember Rick’s takeover fairly well. I think, at that point, my head was really about, again, extending the conversation in a way that showed the diversification of experience within the same issue. I didn’t dislike “Love Removal Machine,” but seeing “Born to Be Wild” listed on the album, plus the new hairdos and rock poses, made “Love” seem like it was done by a totally different band. R.E.M. When he would ask questions, things would pour out of people. Hooper’s Grand Guignol flourishes are occasionally evident, particularly when a paranormal investigator pulls his own face off, but the technical proficiency is all Spielberg’s, as is the abiding interest in families and the influences (supernatural or otherwise) that disrupt them. I caught so many little moments of Alex in Shithouse that made me think you really didn’t fall into that same trap. I think, in some ways, the camera made me differently human. There was even one young woman who cut out a moment where she just stared at the camera, and you could just see all of her feeling. Robert Altman is less interested in emotion and psychology than in emotional and psychological gamesmanship—in mind-fucking that has a rich tradition in the more obsessive and political films of Luis Buñuel, Ingmar Bergman, Roman Polanski, and Joseph Losey, to name just a few of Images’s influences. And Tom Waits’ Rain Dogs certainly belongs in the mix! ‘Alternative’ to me, is about doing things a little different to what’s perceived as common and ubiquitous and (let’s be honest) it’s about being something that sparks debate and engenders strong loyalty and emotions amongst each band’s fans. Mad Max also has a distinctly Australian masculine tension that’s reminiscent of other outback-set classics such as Wake in Fright, as it’s concerned with the pronounced sexual repression and frustration of a predominantly male population that’s all dressed up in tight leather with little to do apart from mounting their bikes and revving up their big noisy engines. That’s well alternative, that is. ie: Thompson Twins “Here’s To Future Days” isn’t even on iTunes. This film with my dad was deeply emotionally risky for me. the sugarcubes – life’s too good And when I read that something like Rush’s “Power Windows” may have even gotten some votes here, sure, I don’t think of it as falling under the “college rock” label. 4- Boy – U2 Gonzalez, The Mad Max trilogy is the work of a talented virtuoso who blended seemingly every trope of every movie genre into a series of punk-rock action films. By the time that The Monster reveals itself to be a horror film, we’re so engrossed in Kathy (Zoe Kazan) and Lizzy’s (Ella Ballentine) pain that the arrival of the titular menace strikes us as an authentic violation of normality, rather than as a ghoul arriving on demand per the dictates of the screenplay. 10- Tecnique – New Order. What makes Fables of the Reconstruction such a rich, deeply rewarding work is that it isn’t simply a retelling of these myths or a hagiography for these men, it’s that the album is a pointed, thoughtful consideration of what these stories mean and, specifically, of how the band perceives them. SINGLES: “The Perfect Kiss,” “Sub-culture” The latter being one of the greatest albums of all time in my book. Throughout, Crawford dances stiffly and lip-synchs some songs, including one jaw-dropping number, “Two-Faced Woman,” that she inexplicably performs in blackface (which might explain why the film didn’t make this retrospective). No, it took a series of social uprisings, the gradual unraveling of a deceptive image that American soldiers were swaggering like pimps in Vietnam, and a seemingly endless cycle of political assassinations to fuel a new breed of scare-mongering films. As a cameraperson, I was given this gift of a machine for searching, seeing, and observing. Simple Minds are nowhere near the greatness of Hounds Of Love. They basically made images of themselves that were pretty boring and uninteresting to watch, sort of self-righteous or pretentious. I agree as well Jay.’This Is Big Audio Dynamite’is FAR superior to’Listen Like Theives’.’Listen Like Theives’shouldn’t even be in the Top 10!I’m sure I can pick 20 albums from this list that are better than that one. Agreed Devin-The Wishing Chair is a great album. [9][10] In May, the album sold four and a half million copies,[11] and by the end of the year it was certified six times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In so doing, A Very Murray Christmas takes subtle aim at pandering modern-day holiday traditions in which simulations of joy are the only form of currency. Perfect! Never before or since has a player made love to the camera so blatantly, and cinematographer Ernest Haller’s lens seems to respond viscerally to Crawford’s shamelessly auto-erotic ardor as it creeps up closer and closer.
