Mulholland Dr. is so darn great. It's wickedly horrifying. But I think Memento is far more superior.rbevanx wrote: Yeah Muholland Drive can be a marmite film but it is worth checking out if anyone else is reading this and the same with Primer. But Primer works with a certain structure like Memento. Memento uses the narrative to get you in the head of someone with no memory and Primer does this with time travel.
Easily, my favourite film of all time

I agree 100% but it deserves to be mentioned alongside Memento with Fight Club, The Usual Suspects, Requiem for a Dream, Brick and Oldboy etchoppity-kick wrote:Mulholland Dr. is so darn great.

I've been asked by many people why I hate FIGHT CLUB. So it's not new to me :mrgreen:
Don't get me wrong. I really love Fincher. And I perceive Fight Club as a good film. But watching it is just an aching cinematic experience for me.
It was the chaos and the so radical and revolutionary insights on consumerism that really hurts me. And I do think the ending is very pretentious.
Nevertheless, it was a good film. Perhaps "hate" is a strong word. But I definitely, didn't like it.

Fair enough hoppity-kick I can see why you didn't like it if you think of it that way but I loved it all the way though.hoppity-kick wrote:I've been asked by many people why I hate FIGHT CLUB. So it's not new to me :mrgreen:
