I <3 you. I could go back through this thread just simply to read your remarks. Not unlike my favorite character in As You Like It, JAQUES:
Give me leave
To speak my mind, and I will through and through
Cleanse the foul body of the infected world
- II.viii (60 - 62)

But I digress.

The last "Classics" I watched recently with Fortunato in mind:
Beautifully tragic, macabre, and surprisingly gory (I can only imagine how audiences received it). It's the kind of movie that, the more I think about it, the more I honestly appreciate it as a true classic. The imagery is so sad and stunning, especially the end. A true ground-breaking horror film.
I'm also interested in its US release, The Horror Chamber of Dr. Faustus. I wonder how the original was edited to produce this abomination and marvel at American's need to sensationalize the already sensational.
