Village of the Giants is early 60s but has little Ronnie Howard and music by the Beau Brummells Teenagers From Outer Space is a slam-dunk for that, too. Attack of the the Eye Creatures Horror of Party Beach Take a good look at American International Pictures.

I think The Giant Gila Monster is the de facto '50s 'rock 'n' roll teens versus the monster' movie. It's basically The Blod, except more radical and without a trace of any tongue-in-cheek self-awareness.

Smallville and AVP come to mind. You gotta have GRIT drat it.

My girlfriend hasn't seen a lot of movies so I've slowly been showing her the classics here and there. Werner Herzog happened to come up in conversation today and she was interested because I was talking about how he's all about exploration and deplores tourists, and now she wants to watch some of his stuff. What's a good first Herzog for somebody who's not big into film? I'm not sure if Aguirre is too out there or not.

Get her into the "idea" of Herzog as a person or as a character first, I think it helps... ground? some of his movies. His documentaries, Incident At Loch Ness, Jack Reacher, My Best Fiend. edit: then make her watch that behind the scenes bit with him talking about how the jungle is obscene.

Stroszek, Fitzcarraldo, Little Dieter Needs To Fly and Grizzly Man all might be decent gateways. It's a hard impersonation to screw up but this dude manages it somehow

Werner Herzog happened to come up in conversation today and she was interested because I was talking about how he's all about exploration and deplores tourists, and now she wants to watch some of his stuff. After watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhMo4WlBmGM I was completely on board with him, but for a normal person I'd probably say Cave of Forgotten Dreams (a bit boring), Encounters at the End of the World, and Grizzly Man. After a couple of those, Incident at Loch Ness. But these all ingratiate you to the man himself, more than him as a director. Bad Lieutenant requires a love of Nic Cage and open-mindedness to David Lynch-type stuff, and My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done requires you to have run out of Lynch content but still starving for more to enjoy. I love both, but what are some other films of his I should watch? This is kind of all I've seen besides Nosferatu. I hear Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre mentioned alot but haven't checked them out yet, because they sound daunting in a way because they were daunting to make.

Ex Machina was some drat fine filmmaking. I have a feeling it's going to sparking some hilariously and at times excruciatingly nerdy conversations in this subforum.

theyshootpictures.com just put up their yearly top 1,000 list, and the generation shift is making me feel old. It's a list of the most cited, not, like, a subjective measure of quality, so, like, I KNOW that Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes still deserve to be on the list, but aren't, because people just don't talk about them anymore. Meanwhile Audition and Avatar are on it for the first year ever, so I guess I have to finally watch Avatar at some point.  I'm thinking about starting a grassroots effort to get people to recognize Joe's Apartment for the masterpiece it is, though. gently caress that movie is so good and I don't care, no, you're wrong, it totally is.

If I were an epileptic, I probably would have died over and over again. There were so many people jam packed together in that crowd that I had zero personal space but I was actually totally okay with that in context.

I was something like fifty rows back, I had to fight to get even that far (and I showed up to the stage like 30 minutes before he came on), and it stretched out for a fuckton more back (especially when Gogol Bordello's set ended and everyone who was watching them crammed in too).
