Yeah, there's the original BBC version which is excellent (but incomplete on DVD) and a later remake which isn't so great. Hammer made three Quatermass films: Quatermass Xperiment, Quatermass 2 and Quatermass and the Pit. Opinion seems divided as to whether Xperiment is better than Pit (Quatermass 2 is definitely the least interesting of the three). I go for Pit because I prefer the story but Xperiment is perhaps the creepier.

Anyway, just watched:

L'Atalante

I don't fall to my knees in reverence to this as some do but it is undeniably spectacularly beautiful. And I can't think of many films more deserving of the word dreamlike. I'm sure Lynch must've watched it a load of times prior to making Eraserhead.

One of my favourites, too. The bit in the school is flat out hilarious.

YESS!! When they send the nun up to get him down. Laugh out loud funny. And as you say, very beautiful. The scene when the peacock appears in the middle of a snowball fight is one of my favourites in any film.

I only found out about this film from watching Autoluminescent (which was brilliant). I'm so glad that I did, I loved it. Seeing Crime & The City Solution and Nick Cave perform in the film was a bonus as was Peter Falk/Columbo!

Now I have to track down the sequel: Faraway, So Close!

that's a beautiful, beautiful movie.

just stay clear of the hollywood remake featuring the ghoulish nicolas cage and duck-billed blonde meg ryan. fucking criminal.

faraway so close rules too. i think i posted a clip for hayden the other day but it's a possible spoiler so don't look for it.

I thought that it was really great. maybe my favorite of his that i have seen.

Way Out West

I'll always prefer L&H's short 20 minute films over their feature films. There's zero padding to the short films, making the features invariably feel a bit drawn out in comparison. But of their full length movies this is definitely one of my favourites. If L&H were a band though, they'd be celebrated more for their singles than for their albums. Hollywood's answer to the Pet Shop Boys. And this is their Behaviour.

Thicker than Water

This was a short that came with the Way out West DVD and it's worth the price on its own. Twenty minutes of pure, in your face, no diverting sub-plots Laurel & Hardy. So this'd be their Suburbia.

Yes!, I loved the second part probably as much as the first, I can't really fault the film at all but there's just one thing I didn't get and that is why Willem Dafoe's character could be seen by the humans that are alive and also talk to the angels... did I miss something? Anyway... really fantastic film(s).
