Since there are so many movies that are in the Criterion Collection and I have my Depths of Pretension series to discuss said films, I also had the slight realization that I really did not have much of a plan on which movies I was going to cover past number 5 (which hopefully is going to be The Great Dictator) so I thought that I might as well come up with a list so that I have some sort of reference point to go to, along with which ones I have to purchase if I can't find a way to stream them. So here is the list as of right now,
1. Repo Man
2. Eyes Without a Face
3. Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas
4. Cronos
5. The Great Dictator
6. The Virgin Spring
7. Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom
8. Antichrist
9. In The Realm of the Senses
10. The Last Temptation of Christ
11. Paris, Texas
12. The Vanishing
13. Brand Upon The Brain!
14. Persona
15. The Gold Rush
16. The Seventh Seal
17. Breathless
18. Breaking the Waves
19. Naked Lunch
20. The Passion of Joan of Arc
21. The Ice Storm
22. Kagemusha
23. Slacker
24. Badlands
25. Modern Times
26. Blow Out
27. Eraserhead
28. Carnival of Souls
29. Following
30. Man Bites Dog
I rearranged this list from the last time as I wanted to get my "Sex and Violence.... That's What The Kids Are Into, Right?" list, aka oh, that fucking movie?!?!? which amounts to numbers 6 through 10 so that will be tons of fun to talk about. There is also a sort of running theme where every one that ends with 5 is a Charlie Chaplin film and the ones that end in zero were meant to have some sort of religious overtones in it, where they do play a large theme in the story. Which is broken almost immediately with the inclusion of Man Bites Dog at number 30. Now to tally up the numbers to see which directors I will be discussing more than once over the course of these 28 films (as I already went through the first two). Chaplin and Ingmar Bergman are both on there three times, Lars Von Trier is on there twice, and that's it for multiples. Well, hopefully I'll be working on Fear and Loathing either on Tuesday night or Wednesday so if there isn't a post on that, everyone who reads this can call me on it and bitch me out
