I suggest this movie be screened although i dont know if your still taking suggestions. here is the website for the film: http://www.beforethemusicdies.com/ I think it sounds really cool, plus this movie is only being shown by people who screen it not the gigantic movie theaters.

Hell, the Whitney based the biennale on it this year- worth a look? eh? Truffaut’s “Day for Night” 1973

I would highly reccomend some of the tapes by <a href="http://www.ccca.ca/performance_artists/k/kantor/kantor_perf18/videoindex.html" rel="nofollow"> Istvan Kantor</a> which can be pretty intense. I could also show a collection of Tom Sherman tapes I have or get him to send a compilation. And if I can track them down some <a href="http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2005-01-27/movie_repfeature.php) ">Meesoo Lee</a> comps: Also, we have to show 'Somewhere in Michigan' sometime as a short (20 minutes or so). I would like to make a push for Craig Baldwin: as well. In particular <a href="http://www.othercinemadvd.com/spectres.html" rel="nofollow">'Spectres of the Spectrum'</a> or <a href="(http://www.othercinemadvd.com/trib.html" rel="nofollow">Tribulation 99</a>.

Anyway, my favorite wintertime movies are the silent ones. Two fairly different films that come to mind are Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr (slapstick and pomo at the same time--how did he do it?!); and the 1926 version of Ben Hur (some extraordinary sets--dubbed the most expensive movie of all time..adjusting for inflation--and some gritty race sequences. Plus lots of boring interludes--perfect for mixing hot drinks! Either that or Quicksilver, in honor of the upcoming race--though this might not rank as independent or offbeat...oh well.

You win some kind of award for picking a few movies that are already in my Netflix queue. I assume from your other picks you mean "Holiday" the Tati film and not the Hepburn/Grant one, or any of the many others an IMDB search returns. I'm writing this on a holiday. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. M & L,

“Valley of the Dolls”

I can’t really think of anything else right now.

We actually only screened Golmaal; Fun Unlimited, but we also had Krrish on hand... It turns out it wasn't just us watching. The major airlines were also paying close attention to our lineup as proven by NWA'a (northwest airline's) November international flight movie offerings. What two films can you enjoy while suffering your ride? Golmaal &#38; Krrish Both movies have been cut down to 120 minutes (how?) and Golmaal has been stripped of its (very necessary) subtitle, "Fun Unlimited."

Golmaal & Krrish

Both movies have been cut down to 120 minutes (how?) and Golmaal has been stripped of its (very necessary) subtitle, “Fun Unlimited.”

Anyways, thanks for flying BluishLines
