- Only one vote for Picnic at Hanging Rock!! I am stunned, I am shocked, I am stupefied! I also want to live in that movie--falling into a hazy, beautiful dream, finding a big crevice in the rock and disappearing forever sounds so appealing in the face of...everything 2020.
- I suppose I don't have room to be stunned, shocked, or stupefied about anything, because I have seen woefully few films on this chunk o' list. I have seen 9 of 32! And here you thought I was cool because I have a blog. Sorry!
- I have only seen Office Killer once, shortly after it came out on VHS. I really need to see it again because for some reason it didn't really work for me back then, but every time I think about it I think "It's Carol Kane and Cindy Sherman and Todd Haynes, how could you not like it???" Not digging Office Killer seems like not digging, I don't know, air or something.
Not sure I’d call Oldboy and Mr. Vsmpire Horror, but, if it will get people to watch them, I am on board! I watched Oculus with some trepidation, because found footage is so often bad, but Flannigan did a good job of establishing space, and, while the end was telegraphed pretty heavily, it made it more of a tragedy. Sad it only got one vote, but I didn’t help, so who am I to point fingers?
ReplyDeleteOldboy was me, and my list in draft form acknowledged that I was playing fast and loose with genre, but ultimately, I decided it was pretty damn (urban) gothic, and so I left it. (Its also probably my favorite movie, so maybe I just put it on all lists. Best meet-cute rom-coms! Best family films!)
DeleteOldboy is good, but I confess I think I like Lady Vengeance better.
DeleteIt's a close call for me. I see that Sympathy for Mr Vengeance also got a single vote...
DeletePaperhouse is another one I regret not including on my list. LOVE that film.
ReplyDeletegod I love Picnic at Hanging Rock so MUCH, one of my favorites! I would've put that on my list but I guess I don't really consider that one horror tbh, I actually don't really know what genre I'd put it in, it's so otherworldly it doesn't even have a genre! hahaha
ReplyDeleteThe genre slipped into aforementioned crevasse wearing a below the knee white chemise and a look of pained regret. Blurry genre films are so lovely.
DeleteOooh, Phantom of the Paradise. Sacrilege, I know, but it is definitely my favorite Jessica Harper movie. (I didn't include it on my list, but am thrilled to see someone else did!)
ReplyDeleteI've only watched 11 (12? not sure about one) of these and Picnic at Hanging Rock is *not* one of them, shamefully. I remember liking Office Killer at the time (liking it well enough, but not that much) but maybe I was trying to be a contrarian, since everybody hated it when it was released, if I remember correctly
