[quote="Rebecka Fan"]Top 3:

Show Me Love (of course!)
Sherdil
Eva & Adam: Four Birthday's and a Fiasco



I've seen the Eva and Adam film on ebay. Considering getting it, since it's got subtitles. Have to be after Xmas, though, can't afford it just at the moment.

Ivan Grozny I and II
Touch of Evil
I Heart Huckabees
...and Fucking Amal, of course!

[Ian]

Have bought the Eva and Adam movie off ebay! Hope I like it.

[Ian]

My Eva and Adam dvd arrived this morning. Will watch it either this weekend or next (depending on whether the Water Lillies dvd arrives this week as well!)

Hope I like it.

Then again, if I do, I'm probably gonna be cheesed that I can't get the tv series!

[Ian]

Water Lillies hasn't turned up yet, so it looks like being the Eva and Adam movie tonight!

[Ian]

Kyle will be pleased to know I greatly enjoyed the Eva and Adam movie!

Don't suppose there's any talk of the tv series getting a dvd release, is there? I'm quite interested now...

The TV series is out on DVD, but it doesn't have any subs

[Ian]

Well, that's helpful!

A few more of mine:

Young Sherlock Holmes
Poltergeist
Predator
Robocop (if you like action and dark humour, Snaps, you should love this )

You can tell I'm a child of the 80s, can't you?

They're here!
I just love that line.

Yeh Robocop was OK too. Like Die Hard etc, I think a lot of the aside humor which saves the plots from being absurdly melodramatic is based on the tradition of film noire. I reckon that's one reason the Bond films were so successful.

One very noire film (though no laughs in it) I would love to see again, doesn't get broadcast often, and which you should check if you ever get the chance is ''Naked Tango'' (1990) seething with brutal passion and dark amorality, tense music (and some neat dancing!) Wierd. Men as obsessed with passionate dancing as they are with carrying out knife vendettas. It is set in the underworld of Buenos Aires of the 1920's when it was rapidly expanding and the ratio of men to women was like 20:1 (a bit like this place )
