Amen. I stumbled on it on tv once and was amazed that something so good was so unknown.

Atelier Tovar
If you like Maddin's films, especially for their obsessive nostalgic qualities, you should check out his book "From the Atelier Tovar." It consists of various essays and entries from Maddin's journal.

As is "A Snake of June," also directed by Shinya Tsukamoto.

I would also recommend…
"Uzumaki" about a town beset by obsession with spirals. It's not scary, but it is creepy, unsettling, funny and inventive.

In "School of Rock" it's the scene where Jack Black makes the fat girl feel better by explaining how talent will change how people see you and that she has that kind of talent.

"Very Long Engagement" - God yes. Saw it on a date - oops!

What's the song Tevye sings after his third daughter has defied him and gone off to marry a Christian? "Havallah?" That's the part that always kills me.

Mulholland Drive has brought me close to tears, yet I never spilled. But the sex scene, in which Naomi Watts keeps admitting "I love you" is heartbreaking and sad, especially given what is to come (or already happened, depending on your interpretation).

Well, if we're talking about Lost, then Desmond's pleas towards the end of "Flashes Before Your Eyes" ("please, let me go back…I'll do it right this time") destroys me, probably because I know exactly how he feels.

"The Body" is the episode of Buffy that reduces me to puddle status.

Yes to everything Elitist Trash says, with this addition: the scene also has unsettling edge, as David has insisted his mother be recreated strictly for selfish reasons. He's doesn't consider (or really care) whether it's good for his mother to be resurrected, only that he wants her back, even if for only a day.

12 Monkeys - yeah…Madeleine Stowe in the blond wig looking for, then finding, Bruce Willis as a boy.

I haven't read all the comments yet (already up to six pages), but I'm glad to see there's little of the usual AV Club Comments troll and "you liked that? Let me tell you why you're wrong" posts.

Yeah, "Atrocity Exhibition" is great, and unlike some other post-modern novels, truly heartbreaking. It's the story of a doctor driven to nervous breakdown because he can't handle his wife's death. Reading it is like listening to a friend (or yourself) go slowly insane while trying to remain rational.

The End
"I'm not ready for Battlestar Galactica to end."

Yeah, Zach - nice essay.

Hear, hear. Samurai Champloo is very enjoyable.

Two…
I wrote a letter to Al Hirschfeld when I was ten, and he sent back a nice reply complete with self-portrait.

That's very cool and I'm very jealous.

Bulletproof -
