Intriguing. I'll probably give it a whirl.

Looks like it:

Only seen 3 films from that list.

Thesis (1996): Good one.

Lost Highway (1997): I, personally hate this one.

Tell Me Something (1999): Don't know why but totally forget about it's story. Need to see it again.

Thank you Roshiq. :)

Was The Ghost and the Darkness the movie about the lion in Africa set in colonial times? If so, I'd say you could take a look at it, probably mid week when the tv is poor. If I've got the wrong movie, would somebody mind telling me what I'm talking about please?:)

Nightwatch was a disapponitment and I avoided the sequal!

Sounds like The Ghost And The Darkness.

You're not stupid, and probably paid decent enough attention... it's David Lynch, nuff' said haha.

TOTALLY agree - I found it a bit overwrought and overrated. Then again, I know a lot of people who liked this movie, so it can't hurt to check it out.

Lost Highway - Eh. So I actually really like David Lynch, but I did not like this one. Just found it one of his more self-indulgent pieces (which is odd because I absolutely LOVED Muholland Drive - If you haven't seen that one, give it a whirl).

Matinee - Not horror in the least, but I remember enjoying it when it came out. It was funny and a good period piece.

Seance is low-budget awfulness - We started watching it and got maybe two minutes through? It's more of a film student project (a BAD one) than an enjoyable movie. Though my boyfriend pronounces it "sheence," which makes me giggle. Heh.

Thank you Chrono. It seems like Lost Highway got a pretty negative reception so I'll probably skip it. David Lynch films are a coin toss for me; I enjoyed Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet, but I still can't make up my mind about Eraserhead. The first time I watched it, I hated it. After a second viewing I liked it a lot more, but still find the film disturbing and impossible to follow.
