I was finally able to successfully download Monty Python and the Hly Grail on divx for my geek film collection, to go along iwth Star Wars (IV), the Matrix, 2001, and the Road Warrior. What film should I download next?

Of course, I don't have time to really watch all these films, but someday I might.

...you should get a film called 'The Wicker Man

It is brilliant. Quite nerdy (if that is what you are really looking for) because:

1)Its about a pagan island

2)Many people just watch it for Britt Ekland's naked dancing routine

It also has a good cast. As well as aforementioned Ms Ekland, there is Christopher Lee as the Laird and Edward Woodward as the visiting policeman. All sorts of shit went wrong when the film was made (deaths, strange things happening to equipment and film) so it was never properly released.

It is one of my favourite films ever.


♥, bc.

By Rainer Fassbinder. You must see this thing. If you have to go overseas to see it, do so.
