    thanks dalboz. since it's mostly for notetaking on my own right now I think I'm going to just take it as it comes. going through my screenwriting books now and then I'll move onto the cinematography ones I have and just make that it's own group. It gets easier when I take a step back and actually look at the silliness of getting all obsessive about the categories rather than the information.

    Oh man, City of Lost Children. Odd movie. I doubt I even have to say this for most posters here, but avoid the dubbed track, go with the subtitles (obviously the DVD gives you both options). The dubbing on this was, IIRC, hilariously bad.

    Too bad my copy's up at the house, and I'm not going home this weekend.

    I think The Adventures of Baron Munchausen will be a good change of pace.

    And I should be replenishing the list, later on.

    Actually, it's not that silly. Getting to know the details like that in certain movies can help you pick them out in other movies, and can give you a greater appreciation for the effort and skill of some of the people involved in making movies.

    Regarding cinematography, see "Visions of Light." It's documentary about the history of cinematography, and it's pretty interesting to see how certain techniques developed.

    so the movie list in the OP is all the recommendations? is there a list of everything we've voted on anywhere? I'll make one if not, just to keep track.

    crap, I probably should have factored in that the dvd was out of print when I suggested it. :(

    You can get a used copy here if you have an extra 50 bucks lying around.

    I just happened to find a copy at my local library. Otherwise I'd have never seen it.
