Some films I like: Spirited Away (almost all of Miyazaki's films, actually) Angel Heart Alien/Aliens (not the other two) Shrek Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels/ The Snatch LOTR: Two Towers That was the top ... many :-) at the moment. Then Apocalypse Now The Unforgiven (Eastwood) Blade Runner Stand by Me Misery Oh, Brother, Where Are Thou Life of Brian 48 Hours/ Streets of Fire/ Long Riders/ Southern Comfort Last Action Hero Indiana Jones (the first two) Whew, so many still to list ... Then, there are visually stunning films which are not that great as films. I think that every visual artist would benefit from seeing them, if not for other reason then just to see what's possible: The Cell (the mind sequences are incredibly well designed) Vidocq The Hunger I also like film noir, just because of the lighting, which might be noticeable here and there in my pics. :-)
