Movie/film suggestions.

Yes, 'Madness' is appropriate indeed.

I'm a huge David Lynch fan - he and Stanley Kubrick were always my 2 favorite film-makers; the painter and the still photographer - when he announced a few weeks ago that he'd had emphysema for 4 years and needed oxygen to walk across his living room, I was expecting that sad news at any time.

Lynch and Kubrick were certainly mutual admirers of each other's work.... 

'Mulholland Dr' is my all-time favorite film. Loved 'Dr Strangelove', 'Lolita' and the rest, but my fave Kubrick would be a tie between '2001' and 'A Clockwork Orange'. It's raining, I'm singing. 

@winoguy17: Speaking of the Coen Brothers, have you seen The Man Who Wasn't There. Fantastic! A modern Noir instant classic, with the most beautiful B & W cinematography (by Roger Deakins) I've EVER seen. I also love their little-known A Serious Man, which having a Jewish girlfriend was helpful in understanding.

For Billy Wilder it's Sunset Blvd. and The Apartment. For Hitchcock it's Vertigo.

What has become of Jim Jarmusch? I loved his Coffee And Cigarettes, especially the scene with Tom Waits and Iggy Pop.

Havent seen TMWWT, thanks for the heads up.

I think Jim Jarmusch is fine, after Down by Law, he is forever cherished in Europe by a big following. 

I would like to make one correction to the above suggestions. The best movie is Dumb and Dumber. Period. Everybody knows it,

Okay @grislybutter, I admit it. Dumb And Dumber is a guilty pleasure of mine. Is Bad Santa in that same category? I’m pretty lenient when in comes to movies, though I have to draw the line at super hero and "action" ones.

@winoguy17: The Man Who Wasn’t There stars Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, James Galdolfini, Scarlett Johansson, and Richard Jenkins. A great story, as usual from the Coen brothers. To return to the premise of this thread, there is one guy I sure wish wasn't there. Or anywhere.
