more on film...

[dwenius]

Let's revisit that films of joy post. Like I said, I don't watch a lot of film, which means that I'm likely missing out on many things that I would like if I knew about them. So if you start with Charlie Kaufman, Miyazaki, Svenkmajer, the Marx Brothers, Jeunet and Caro (the five primary sources of joy in my original list), then add in Terry Gilliam (yes, every film including Baron Munchausen) and quirky cult films like Harold and Maude or Being There, plus obvious geek pleasers like LotR and CTHD...where do you, oh great video store master, send me next? Help me, Lazyweb!

Where are you on the Coen brothers? Have you seen The Man Who Wasn't There, O Brother Where Art Thou, Barton Fink, etc.?

also The Big Lebowski - one of my two favorite movies of all time and one which, if combined with Hamlet and Young Frankenstein, contains an encoded solution to any crisis you're going to encounter at any point in your life.
