I generally love Roeg's stuff, although I believe you're right about Performance being primarily a Cammell film. I watched Walkabout again recently and was reminded just what a great film it is. The fact that he's had any kind of Hollywood career at all is sort of amazing - although I think he sort of destroyed his industry rep in the 80s, with rubbish flops like Castaway (if Roeg produced one piece of 'hack work' it's surely that, not Don't Look Now) and the just too odd for its own good, Track 29.

I Watched Cammell's Whites of the Eye a few years ago and wasn't that into it, but I keep hearing and reading things about it so I really should give it another go.

Ah, I forgot Walkbout. I actually do like that film, too. Don't Look Now is alright.

WHITES OF THE EYE is really fucking amazing, probably the best, um, "American giallo" (with Body Double being close). It degenerates into a cliched mess at the end but the first 90 minutes is amazing, especially that opening murder! Oh, and the music is perfect..

Haha, yeah, Body Double. I have a weird soft spot for that movie. I don't really like it but whenever it comes on TV I'll always watch it regardless. I have a very similar relationship with The Howling, for some reason.

I'll stick White of the Eye on my Lovefilm list.

All 5 hours. In one sitting. For the second time in a two month period. On Valentine's Day. Single. With my mother. I could not possibly be a cooler dude.

EDIT: Oh, and yeah, it's a masterpiece. You should watch it.

I love Body Double. It straddles the line between supercheesy and superbrilliant, like a huge amalgam of Hitchcock references, especially the more sleazy stuff. I mean, it's obviously, and knowingly, ridiculous, but it's actually really really beautiful at times, especially the music, and that scene where he's following the girl and they're at the beach... OH MAN, when he goes into that tunnel! So cool. And the drill through the floor sequence with the blood is mindblowing. I love the ending, too, how it just kinda.. ends... with the dog and the river... hahha. It's great. I love DePalma, in general, Blow Out is one of my favorite films of all time.

Scenes from a Marriage is a masterpiece, though I haven't seen long version. I've seen lots of Bergman and like it all, with Persona being one of my favorite films of all time.

Yeah, while I'm not as big a DePalma fan as yourself I do think in individual scenes he can be brilliant. And you're so right about the way Body Double looks. It's impossible to describe but it has to be one of the 'sunniest' films I've ever seen. Also, I love the main guy in it. I don't even know who he is or seen him in anything else, but he's absolutely perfect in that role.

I think he's soap opera actor, and I'm pretty sure he was never in another "Big" film again!

HEAT is a masterpiece! One of the best mainstream films of all time. Ah, man, thinking of this.. when did it come out? 1995? 1997? Back then, there were still great films coming out IN THEATERS at a regular rate.. what the fuck happened? Nostalgia kills me.

That whole bank scene is just so brilliant.

Am I the only person who thinks Soderbegh blows? The only film I even half way like by him is the overlong Schizopolis. Even the much-ballyhooed Bubble was tedious.

"See it with someone you ***".. terrible.

I read that Soderbegh was influenced by Cries and Whispers and the Red Desert (one of my all time favs) while making Girlfriend Experience. THat makes me hate it even more!

A few effective scenes here and there, I spent most of my time drooling over Sasha.

Wow, there are people out there that actually liked Bad Timing? Objectively, I guess it was OK, but I don't I've ever seen a movie with a more unlikeable main character. That was probably the point, but still...
