Anime Batman, been meaning to peep this for a minute.

I watched The Man Who Killed Don Quixote as I finally finished reading the book (after just over 19 months, that's some kinda record for me). It's alright. I've seen people draw some lofty themes from it and the premise is great, but it's all handled quite clumsily. I felt it was just chaos from the beginning as I tried to tune into what the fuck was going on, so I reckon I'd enjoy it more on second viewing.

Also saw Eyes of Laura Mars and was impressed by its intensity, at least for the first two thirds. I guess I liked that the surreal element wasn't overbearing. Can anyone recommend any other old mystery/thriller-type films of a similar intensity? (to Tommy Lee Jones' monobrow)

Color Out of Space was pretty disappointing... not necessarily bad just conventional and dull (not adjectives usually applied to Richard Stanley). And Nicholas Cage is just terrible.

The Conversation and Blow-Out come to mind.

I saw The Conversation not too long ago and enjoyed it. One thing that struck me about Eyes of Laura Mars was the amount of violence depicted though. Added Blow Out to my list.

Mentioning violence reminded me of one other film I could recommend; Dressed to Kill.

Yeah, definitely comparable. Seen it but don't remember it that well. Somehow it landed on my original movies-to-see list which I built up to around 120 films before I found time to start shrinking that from 2015 onwards. I would've watched 100s more since those original 120, but not nearly as many as some of you dudes!

I would but I only recently watched that, a bit too recently.

The War Lord

Edit: man that was dark, bleak, and depressing. Pretty violent too for an older movie. Pretty damn good.
