lol I've never watched any of those movies except a couple of minutes of Au Hasard Bathlazar

Winter's Light is my friends top Bergman pick too. What other Takovsky films have you watched? Love the C. Kaufman love.

Mommy looks so fucking amazing. The Prince of Egypt is an interesting choice. Enter The Void and and Rome, Open City and Andrei Rublev are great movies. I think you Bergman'd twice tho with The Virgin Spring and Winter Light unless you're okay with being a cheeettterrr.

Taxi Driver and Paths of Glory are good movies. I think Apocalypse Now is overrated imo but still good. Will watch McCabe and Mrs. Miller sometime soon. Never heard of The Last Detail it sounds neato.

I read the play of Amadeus and prefer that. La Haine almost made it on my lift. Adrift in Tokyo is a new movie to me.

Antichrist is my girlfriends favorite movie tied with A Serbian Film. I'm actually not making this up. The Master is a great movie. I have mixed feelings on The Big Lebowski. The Libertine is a new movie to me.

I need to rewatch Ikiru I was pretty hyped by it and I don't think it did it for me at the time. Pastoral I ain't never heard of that shit but the director sounds cool as hell. Also do you think one should watch Woman In The Dunes first or read it first? btw Point Omega is my first DeLillo book I finished. I just finished Mao II. Highly recommended.

my list

Paradise Lost

I'm going to count Shakespeare as one. Favourite tragedy is Hamlet and favourite comedy is A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Middlemarch
Invisible Cities
Ulysses
Ada
Moby Dick
The Waves
The Man who Was Thursday

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring is a movie I've been needing to watch forever but whenever I check it out at the library I never end up watching it. Metropolis is such a great movie. I seriously need to fix that. Also Dolls is a new movie to me. So is Berberian Sound Studio.

I highly recommend SSFWS. It's very well done. Korean cinema is generally pretty top tier.

Dolls is a Takeshi Kitano movie that is...it's a slow movie, but it does symbolism better than anything else I've ever seen. Berberian Sound Studio is a wet dream for sound design.

>Adrift in Tokyo

You should definitely check it out. I had no idea it existed until about a week ago when an user recommended it to me, and it's instantly become one of my favorites.

I read the book after watching the movie. I think that's a good order. Kobo Abe is, obviously, a great writer, but the adaptation of Woman Of The Dunes is one of the greatest movies of all times. I'd go again and watch the movie first.

I recently bought Mao II. Love DeLillo so far.
