Basically, I strive for diversity. I bet there isn't a lot of people who will watch Nashville, Class of Nuke 'Em High, The Gold Rush, Une femme est une femme, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Un chien andalou, and Singin' in the Rain within the period that I do- that was last week's playlist.

And you love them too, J. I know that you prefer to watch a movie more on a recommendation than own gut instinct, sometimes when its recommended by someone you value a lot. Gut instinct CAN sometimes prove false, indeed, but more often than not, you do find a cinema GEM lying somewhere and which opens a whole new segment for you.

I remember 3-4 years back, many had no idea Santa Sangre existed. It was my careless remark in a VHS thread in Modern Horror which made some older members dig it out, and today Jodorowsky is enjoying a lot of attention between plenty of genre lovers. The man finally got the recognition he should have...at least when he carved out El Topo, and The Holy Mountain too.

The Unsung, Underappreciated, Other Top 100 is a glaring example. As is Begotten.

You're such a film student. :p

From someone who has a Bachelor's in Film, you really do develop a varied taste in film from all genres and time periods because you have a great interest and/or are exposed to more of it than the average person.
