My tastes in film runs like this:
Andrei Rublev
Citizen Kane/Touch of Evil
Manhunter
Fallen Angels/In the Mood for Love
The Princess and the Warrior
The Seven Samurai/Ran
Practically anything by David Lean
Ditto with Cohen Brothers
Anything by Terence Malick
Recently, I've been itching to see lower-grade films, especially Sci-Fi. I like the genre, but don't really like the caliber of films (for a real flame war....I don't like Kubrick, so hence no 2001 for me...) I'm actually looking forward to this summer's blockbusters. The Matrix Reloaded might, might be interesting and I think the Wachowski Brothers are sincere in their efforts (unlike most big filmmakers). The Hulk is directed by Ang Lee, written by Schamus, need I say more? And the rest, well, we'll see.
