So, another one of these threads of mine (I should organize a single thread... someday.) Instead of continuing the slasher theme from the last get together I had, I thought we'd break and go for something different (two weeks from now will be the second slasher installment.) The theme: classics. Both past and present. Aged or modern.

Three films. Here's the list of what I'm considering...
(I'd like variety, and foreign films are a big plus in my book.)

Volver
American Beauty
Adaptation.
Clockwork Orange
Ichi the Killer
A Tale of Two Sisters
Rear Window
12 Monkeys
Requiem for a Dream
Donnie Darko

I'm pretty sold on American Beauty. I am also a huge fan of Almodovar, so Volver seems like a sure-thing as well (my friends NEED to be familiar with his work, it's just great.)

I'm a BIG fan of multi-character indie dramas. Loaded with dysfunction and excellent visuals. I like arthouse films. Films where downright weird, symbolic, metaphoric things occur. Films about feelings or real life situations.

As far as foriegn films go... I love the feel of Asian horror. My favourites include: Anything by Almodovar, Run Lola Run, Amelie, Chocolat, Amores Perros, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Krampak, and a few others.

What would you recommend?

GUESTS:
1. Loves visual oddities. Weird, dream-like, drug-induced images. Images with deeper meanings. David Lynch-esque.

2. Loves foreign romance stories. Anything italian or french involving anything related to love.

3. Loves the realistic attitude indie/foreign films have towards sex. Likes his sex erotic, not just cum-worthy.
