Have you thought about writing reviews for any of these movies? If you're up for it, I'd love to read your review of "Don't Look Now." I was wondering what you see in it. I saw it recently and did not particularly enjoy it.
Someday I'd like to throw in some reviews for these lists. It'd probably be much easier if I had some sort of writing ability, though.
As for DLN, I can see how it would be a miss with some. I was really into the uneasiness and the feeling of dread from the beginning, so the rest of the film played out beautifully for me. Have you seen Walkabout yet? It's another Nic Roeg film of that style, but probably a little easier to swallow.
Actually, I was hooked by DLN from the beginning too, but I began to dislike it around the halfway point. I haven't seen "Walkabout", but I've been meaning to check it out.
